Bruins have plans for Ryder

New Bruin Michael Ryder will be expected to return to his 30-goal-a-year pace, and is the obvious candidate to ride first-line right wing, be it with Marc Savard or Patrice Bergeron dishing him the puck. He was hired for a reason: to score, the heir apparent to the job Glen Murray filled prior to his contract being bought out some three weeks after Ryder signed. What would be a reasonable number of goals for the new resident right wing? "More than 14, right?" said Ryder, offering a wry smile. "I'll leave it there."

Last year he scored 14 and was a minus 4.
The previous year he scored 30 and was a minus 25.
Which was the better year?

One would hope that the Bruins have plans for Ryder. Otherwise what was the point of signing him?

Baun-ded, is that a trick question?

Nah! It'll take the NASCAR fans a whole month to figure it out! They still don't know why NASCAR drivers only make left turns!
