Toporowski continues to look really good. I like Humphrey's game as well.
Hopefully the Bs can pull this one out in OT.

Sweet move and goal in the SO by Merkulov. And Lysell seals the deal with a pinpoint shot. Bs win it.

Would be interesting to see the replay near the end of regulation. Toporowski was convinced his disallowed shot went in for the win.
Poitras looked good. He seems to have nice hands. Made a couple sweet passes setting his teammates up.
Lysell has some great skill, but man is he ever sloppy and tries to do too much, losing the puck in the process.
Toporowski impressed me a lot in the two games I watched him. He is an overall very good hockey player. Won't be surprised to see him up with the Bs at some point.
Humphrey also looked good. Chippy player who has some offensive skill.

Watched from the second until the shoot out. Only three things stood out to me. The coaching, second effort and structure in the d zone is very good. That is doubly impressive considering all but Brunet and sometimes Berglund, lack mobility. Bussi was solid. Topo is at least an AHLer.
The bad, Lysell and Merkulov were not particularly good. They tried one on one stuff and nothing else. Except for 43, who I assume is Brunet, could not find the roster thread, the d does not have any prospects imo. Berglund isn't the skater I thought. He has a burst but he tries to conserve himself and doesn't use it much. Callahan does a few things well, but skating is a little below average. He looks like another Zboril or Cross.

“That kinda came out of no where” as they talk over the entire build up to the fight lol.
| G | Bussi 70 | |||
| LD | Callahan 79 | Edward 41 | Brunet 43 | |
| RD | Mast 87 | Berglund 64 | Wissmann 60 | |
| LW | Toporowski 83 | Merkulov 42 | Greenway 89 | Hardie 82 |
| C | Poitras 51 | Beecher 19 | Hall 91 | Jeri-Leon 78 |
| RW | Lysell 21 | Lauko 94 | Humphrey 72 | Abate 53 |
I missed the first period with an appointment, but above is the lineup from the 2nd period. Bussi looked good, except for the 2nd NJ goal, when he opened the legs. Chico Resch, former Islander goalie, criticized him for that. BTW, I met Chico before a game when he was in the minors 40 years ago, and he is a great person! I wasn't intending to talk to him because I didn't want to bother him before a game when I saw him outside the rink, but he started it!
Beecher scored the first Broons' goal on a shot from the left wing and Merkulov the 2nd on a long shot from the center of the offensive zone. Merkulov scored on a sick move and back hand flip top shelf in the shootout and Lysell scored on a nice fore hand wrist shot from the slot.
Although none of Beecher's goals in the tournament were highlight reel goals, I really hope he can score at the pro level and become the 2nd-line center in a couple of years. Da Broons clearly lack speed at the center-ice position and he would help greatly in that regard. Lysell and Merkulov will be on the big club in another year (Lysell) or two (Merkulov).

Devils fans shocked Lysell looked like hot garbage vs them for the second year in a row
He’s fought a few times in the A

Thanks for the lineups. We watched the Dev's feed and they did not say too much about the Bruins. They did mention some of them in the run of play, but seldom. I agree with you about Lysell and Merk but they both have a long way to go. I really like Brunet. He has many talents. He just needs to get much stronger.

Wish he’d fight less and focus on figuring out how to score again. Also doesn’t have the durability to fight a lot.

Beecher has at least a point in every game so far no?
I'm hoping also that he has 2nd line ceiling at the nhl level
Looking like the strongest C prospect DS has drafted since 2015

I’d slow that roll till at least the regular camp and preseason. He does look good on the PK though and it could help him carve out a role on the big club
Even if Beecher lights the world on fire in preseason I’d start him in Providence. Give him more ice time to work on his offensive abilities. He has more in there I wanna see if he can find it.

I know he did but I don't recall him doing very well. Terrible would be the word actually. Hopefully he can play a good, gritty game with great speed on the fourth line this year
Beecher at worst looks like a big, fast good 3rd line center. If he continues to play well in the preseason I would at minimum put him in over Nosek.
