Player Discussion Jake DeBrusk

[Orr2Neely8]

Kid's very mature in his game ( and person)...really "gets" it .
Can't remember , but wasn't he one of the 3 draft kids that failed the fitness testing a few years back ?
looks like one of the Fittest B's right now for sure....what a motor !

 

[RustyBruins72]

I watched this kid in junior with Swift Current. You could tell he was a gamer. Had 42 goals one year and the hockey IQ was there. I really hope his mom and dad were there last night. 5 goals in his first 7 playoff games. WOW.

His dad was in LV. He's working that series:

Man was he fantastic for us last night, and all series for that matter. Kid has a serious motor, looks like he really has that drive to excel. I was critical of the pick at the time but I am certainly eating my words. Kid looks like he gonna be a damn good player for us.

could be a center in JFK or a winger in Bjork IMO>

I was looking at CapFriendly, and JFK is an RFA after next season, while Bjork is an RFA in 2020-2021. Unless Bjork blows it out of the water in TC, I could definitely see them starting him in the AHL, seeing he missed a lot of time with that injury. Bruins need to see JFK and after a full season in the AHL where he's been pretty productive, it would be a good spot at 3LC with Backes and either Donato/Heinen.

He is 6-3 and his skating is elite, has a great shot and some moxie. He's in an organization that is churning out 2+ NHL regulars per season now. I watched Langenbrunner and Pandolo for 100's of games over their career and have faith in them to teach him the nuances of the game. I would really keep him in Providence the whole season, line 1, first unit PP and have him contend for a spot 19-20. He will still only be 22 then (we are spoiled with our young guys breaking in early)

Seny finished strong down at Prov. Hope he has a good playoffs.

Just a gutsy move to score that winner. He knew he was going to rocked but he slipped it through the 5 hole just before he was hit.

Thanks Jake! Signed a Bruins fan in Leaf land......

Debrusk isnt a prospect anymore, you can pencil him into the 2nd line for years to come.

What an absolutely phenomenal pick from Sweeney.

 

[winterwill]

Did he pimp his logo to the Leaf bench after that goal?
Love him even more, now.

Another example of taking it easy when prospects are working on their game in Providence. I saw him last year he was nothing to write about. The only thing that I did notice was he just kept motoring. Towards the end, his game was way better.

 

[NDiesel]

Random note - he seems VERY well spoken from his interview with Pierre after the game.

 

[Bruinaura]

Hands of this DeBrusk were made to score goals

“I think my celebration said it by itself. I was on my knees and just couldn’t believe it went in,” said DeBrusk
He was asked if he had seen either of his father’s two playoff tallies.
“I actually saw a thing on NHL (Network) where they replayed (old playoff) series, and he was playing for Phoenix,” DeBrusk said in the postgame locker room scrum. “I think I saw one where he scored from the red line. So ... sniper.”
Then the owner of 16 regular season goals continued, “But no, I’m very proud of my dad. We like to joke about it now, but I don’t joke with him. He’s a lot stronger than me.”



I think Jake is a keeper.

 

[VanIsle]

There's a name I haven't heard in a long long time.

I wonder if he still hangs out with Jim Weimer and John Blue, can't forget Grigori Panteleev, all beautys!!!!

According to his dad who was just interviewed on Sportsnet, Jake told him he was trying to go upstairs on the GWG.

Also told him that between the 2nd and 3rd periods, the vets stood up and said "let's keep this going because we won't all be here next season."

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

The kid had a great game and series

He seems to be able to absorb a lot of what the vets toss his way.

Upstairs, five hole .... Makes no difference to me. It was a beaut no matter how it went in.

I wonder if that was about Nash squared and Adam McQuaid, if I were to pick the vets who wouldn't be back

Louie will be on with Dale and Keefe tomorrow afternoon

 

[wintersej]

All I see is a young Zach Parise.

 

[LouisSleigher]

If Tyler Seguin had the same competitive spirit that Jake DeBrusk seems to have, the Bruins would have won the 2013 Stanley Cup and Seguin would still be a Bruin.

 

[CptxMorgan]

All I see is a young Zach Parise.

Probably one of the more apt comparisons I've seen, dunno if he reaches Parise's level but the junkyard dog mentality is definitely there.

Is that Ladyfan and and her sister in the background?
