This week’s query came from Jeff C. Sutton and was directed towards Charlie Coyle, a center for the Boston Bruins;”Serious question: When it seems like your line is carrying the majority of the offense and is being relied upon to drive the offense, how do you approach or view the game differently?”
Charlie Coyle, a winger for the Boston Bruins, has responded as follows:
Yes, indeed.To a certain degree, I suppose, Coyle answered. “Your objective is to improve as a player every time you play. My father used to always remind me that I should play a 200-foot game and be a complete player ever since I was a young child. I’ve made an effort to work on that game, then. You pick up tips from other players who have been here for a long time, like David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron. You pick up stuff from watching those guys and witnessing them firsthand every day, and you strive to imitate that.
We had some conversations this summer and realized that some guys wouldn’t be returning at a certain point, so you know, opportunities present themselves and you want to seize the chance to be more accountable and responsible.
“I wanted to play that role better, and in order to play better offensively, you have to produce,” Coyle said. I’m just trying to be an all-around player, whether it’s PK, PP, or 5-on-5, because that’s how I’ve always been taught to play. I’m just trying to do that more and more in whatever opportunities are presented to me, and I just want to keep on doing that and be the best player I can be for the team. But, as I said before, I have to be a sound player in what I usually do and starting defensively.
