Prospect Info: #162 LW Jesper Bratt

[glenwo2]

Dammit, Jesper!!

You had a highlight-reel goal on your stick and you blew it.

 

[Whaddagoal]

He'll come around.... I think Hynes is doing the right thing with keeping his minutes a bit down to keep him fresher over the remaining schedule

 

[OmNomNom]

Did he lose the puck or get poke checked?

 

[Whaddagoal]

He just missed the puck. Pulled it back across maybe a bit too fast, if we're talking about that SO miss....

Was there another play from the game tonight?

Nope. That's the moment I was talking about.

He could've had Saros still looking for his jockstrap this very moment if he converted that shot.

Bratt should keep getting rolled out in the top 3 in the shootout. He’s undressed the goalie the majority of the time. He’s some sort of shootout champion back home, so he normally does finish them off.

Agreed, they need to keep using him. He has an empty net almost every time he goes. Give him a few more opportunities to get used to the situation and he'll be automatic.

 

[Hypernova]

Bratt is playing well but his refusal to shoot and instead force some ridiculous pass pisses me off on a nightly basis.

 

[kidkosher]

Hey, I love this kid.

He is THE 2015-2016 Swedish shootout champion in which he beat Peter Forsberg

Everyone loves Jesper....except for @Hypernova

Like he's good but he's looked more like Tedenby the past month than Jesper Bratt of the beginning of the season.

Definitely has a ton of skill but so does Linus Omark.

Bratt already has more points at 19 in his rookie season than Omark did in his entire NHL career

but yeah great comparison though

Dude, I'm not comparing them. I'm just saying that the NHL is much more than a skills competition. Something I feel bratt would excel at. Like I get this board loves home for his Cinderella story and early success but he's barely looked like an NHL'er outside of a few games for the past two months. That definitely concerns me even with the acknowledgement of a rookie wall.

You just HAVE to be "that guy", don't you?


And comparing Bratt to Tedenby? GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE WITH THAT GARBAGE!!


Bratt has more talent in his pinky than Tedenby has in his entire body.


And who is Linus Omark and why should I give a damn?

Tedenby was the dictionary definition of a perimeter player. Bratt is fearless when he decides to drive the net.

And Bratt is hands down more skilled than Tedenby.

you were comparing them or else you wouldn't have brought Omark's name up.

I have one problem with Jesper Bratt and its that he doesn't SHOOT THE PUCK. Literally would look to pass if he was on a breakaway. Its a terrible attribute to be honest and needs to be fixed.

That's true. Bratt has a pretty good shot but he doesn't use it often.

He needs to be a bit more selfish in his game.


anyway, Bratt is once again a Healthy Scratch against Vegas(he was scratched last time as well so it could be a match-up issue).

He was shooting more in the beginning but I think he lost faith in it at some point. Particularly on the PP where he seemed to keep missing one timers.

He should follow Brian Rolston's philosophy :


If at first you don't succeed, SHOOT AGAIN!


AND AGAIN!


AND AGAIN!

The glass behind the net can only handle so much though.

Don't worry. Bratt's slapshot is as lethal as Mike Mottau's.

Holik would know.

Love that Bobby. Don't have guys like him both on the ice and off the ice anymore... or so it seems to me.

He used to say stuff that nobody has the balls to say anymore.

If someone from today's game said the things that he used to say in the locker room after a poor performance, people would be like ''WHAT did he just SAY?'' or even accuse him of being a locker room cancer.

He would point blank say things like the team was terrible that night or just be really blunt about it.
