Prospect Info: Brendan Lemieux

[Mortimer Snerd]

No it's called a fact.

By those in whose opinion it was proven.

Facts are measurable and verifiable. Your opinion is neither - which doesn't prove it wrong. But it remains opinion.

 

[Jack722]

My opinion for this season is limited to his 13 games played. Thought the last few games he played were solid. He was skating faster, making faster decisions and just playing with better pace.

He still struggled with digging pucks out of corners and along walls, where he gives up size and strength.

Yeah, agree with your take. I also think he supported well defensively so I can see why he would have decent stats in terms of limiting chances against.

Still wish we'd gotten to see him in more games this year.

I had an opinion on petan.
person states its only an opinion. (I agree)
other person responds is it an opinion if it is true?.
person responds again. yes.
I reply if its true then its a fact and not an opinion. that's what I was responding to not weather petan is better then Lemieux which he isn't by the way. ( just my opinion)

I hated the idea of having him in our lineup but dammit he's put up 6 goals since Jan 1st. That's 5 more than Laine. So I guess he's sort of growing on me now.

Can you imagine if Laine shot 42% in his last 20 games? He'd have ~12 goals and no one would be saying a thing

 

[DREGER21]

Anyone else noticed that our 4th line is a combined +38 ? Wonder how that compares with the rest of the league.

I was hoping someone would get a flu or something that let him in to the lineup, and I understand why it’s frustrating to some that he didn’t get a fairer chance this season, to build off his last few solid games.

But I really like what I have seen from Lemieux and I am happy with his overall development this season. His game translates well for the type of 4rth line we need.

2 minutes left and fourth with a shift. Where was PoMo?

Maurice will play players he trusts to do what is expected of them in a given situation. He knows with 2 minutes left with a 1 goal lead that Lemieux will bust his ass to help his line gain centre then dump it deep and chase. He knows he won't stop up and try to saucer a pass through 2 defenders in the neutral zone.

I’m not sure our fourth line is our fourth line lately.

How is that a given situation for Lemieux? He makes that same play all game, regardless.......

 

[LowLefty]

I'm just hoping they can continue to contribute and that Lemmy doesn't lose it.
As much as I like that spark he brings to the line up, he's some what crazy and I don't know if Mo has worked all the crazy out of him yet.
I cross my fingers every shift.

 

[Neuf]

Fourth line is bizarre. There's an organized chaos....I wouldn't say they play like a cohesive unit, but it's working lately.

There is Brendan Lemieux and the rest of the 4th line. Lemieux is all over the place.

 

[ffh]

Maybe if he had a 0% shooting percentage like the non option that wont replace him ever he would get more respect around here.

So many salty Lemieux haters. Must bring you to your knees when he scores

I'm not sure why this is, though my sneaky suspicion is that all paths lead back to your like or dislike of Maurice.

Two giant armies facing off on the battlefield--one behind Maurice, and one behind @garret9.

The battle of Lemiuex is a merely skirmish in a years-long war.

Appleton is the bigger story, no haters and no high ranking thread

I’m not sure what to make of Appleton just yet. There are some very astute posters in here and I would love to know what you see as this kid’s upside potential.

Well since you asked...

Haters?
Seriously?
As long as he plays I support him, that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion of him and the roster.
It also has nothing to do with my like or dislike of Maurice, only certain decisions he makes.

Why must everything be so one side or the other. Seems so simplistic.

The internet does not allow for nuance - pick a side and crush it, dammit.

I blame SMS / twitter char limits.

He has sure looked good lately. The guy has so much more speed than I thought he did. Also seems to have a good head on his shoulder and meshes well with Copp.

 

[Beavski24]

Uhhhhh .... no. He still has only proven to be unable to produce on that 4th line with Thor. Does this post prove you are unable to use a shift key?

How he would be doing this year with Copp and Appleton is unknown. Never been tried.

You got to let it go bro, Petan was given 15 games this year did nothing. He also has had time playing with Blake wheeler, power play time and his line mates were armia and dank btw. Lemmy is just the better player for that role. Sit back relax eat some popcorn and just let him go dude cause you are wrong on this one. You can argue all you want but end of the day he's been given ample opportunity and puck
luck or not he hasn't had more than 5 goals in 4 seasons. Lemmy has 9 alone this year big goals while playing role of pest and racking up pims
