Providence Bruins General Discussion thread XIX

[CDJ]

Farinacci-Nelson-Duran would’ve been a terrific college line, excited to see what they can do together in the A

An Abate-Kuntar-Arseneau line lmaoooooo hook it up to my veins

 

[BronxBruin]

Another game where the P-Bruins were fortunate to get even one point. The offense was non-existent after their second goal. They had 7 shots total over the last 2+ periods. I don't have high hopes for tomorrow's game after a 4.5 hour bus ride tonight. Call me crazy but IMO Lohrei would be a lot more helpful in Providence right now than the press box.
-- Nelson had a decent first game. He had a nice stick lift in the slot to prevent a scoring chance and then rang the post on a wrister.
-- The speed is evident for Duran but it just seems like not much happens when he has the puck on his stick. Also the grit he was known for in college has not shown itself yet.
-- Brunet had a few nice defensive plays but then got his pocket picked behind the net late in the third. He oozes potential but he'll need to continue to clean up his d-zone play if he's ever going to take the next step.
-- Rough night for Callahan.
-- Bussi probably wants to second goal back but otherwise he was really good.

Are we bullish or bearish on Brunet? 20 for the whole season, first year in the A, lots of reports of good flashes, defensemen can take a bit longer to develop.

Do we see top 4? fringe?

 

[Blowfish]

Nelson takes? Early comparisons? Skating concerns? Size good?

But we'll know more next year

Watching the game in a few,stand by for hot takes

 

[chizzler]

It happens every year where they plug many free agents and the team gets out of sync.

 

[Saxon Eric]

That was an ugly performance by Providence
They need more from the younger guys,some have completely disappeared

Nelson comes as advertised, big and rangy ,looks very responsible, hit the crossbar in the first,nice debut

They really miss Lysell, Regula and Walsh

 

[Saxon Eric]

 

[HustleB]

Has Lysell been shutdown or might we see him again this year? Actually same question for Regula and Walsh as well.

 

[08SeaBass08]

Team completely ran out of gas in the middle of the second. Schedule-makers definitely a factor.

Separately, I’d be in favor of keeping the Star Wars goal song forever.

Thirdly, Han Solo threw paper in video “rock, paper, scissors” more than anyone should.

Finally, I think the PBs lose in OT or SO at least 80% of the times I go, which is at least ten-fifteen times/year. Is it me? Do I need to stop going for them to win a Calder Cup?

Last I heard Lysell was back on the ice but with extreme limitations
Regula is on crutches
Walsh ?
And McIsaac got hurt Friday, hence the reason Mast is up

Providence has 2 weeks or 6 games left plus a probable bye

Can you remind me what kind of game Mast plays. I want to say he's similar to Carlo, low offense and physical but solid defense and decent decision maker with the puck on his stick.

He's gonna need a long developmental runway
Moves decent for a large man but is still a bit stiff
Decision making is hit or miss and he still gets moved in front of the net but he's shown signs of improvement ,played mostly 3rd pairing minutes in Maine but I still think his season has been mostly successful

Just a hockey storey. Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League have first pick in this upcoming draft. They have picked 15 year old Ethan Belchetz first over all. 6'5" 230 pounds. Sounds like prototypical future Bruin. Apparently he blocked out the sun on Monday and it was reported around the world.

6'5"/230... At FIFTEEN?? Good god damn. That's insane.

Yep God makes some people big. Imagine in 3-4 years

Could go in any way. look at recently signed Jaxon Nelson. He dominated at the 15 year old level because he was so much bigger and stronger than everyone else. Had the draft been at 16 coming off his 70 goal 113 point in 25 games HS season as a sophomore (I think), he might have been a first round guy

[Saxon Eric]

Duran unassisted 1-0

Lambert from Farinacci and Callahan 2-0

Abate had a fight, he takes the L

Lohrei getting loads of PK time
