Providence Bruins General Discussion thread XII - Providence Bruins to play abbreviated season in Massachusetts

[ODAAT]

remember, folks:

you can always get updates through the team itself, not just from our insiders here

I follow Divver pretty closely, the website for the PB`s is much better than it was when you first landed on it, looked like one massive ad page and to try and find content was difficult

great site here for those who don`t know about it but I`m almost certain I was the last to find out

Rinkside Rhode Island

Do you think Vladar has improved from last season? I'm relieved to know the Bruins have a potential long term starter in Swayman.

Maintaining is the better word, he's looked good, both goalies have, difference I have is Swayman is closer to max potential while Vladar is about 75% there, for you stat lovers out there check them both out, you can't ask for better goaltending then we've got so far

 

[ODAAT]

For those looking for trends, since I can't add any intel to this discussion, I can at least put you all side by side!

Apologies if I'm made any typos -- I think it's right. Shoot me, not the raters if I've got anything wrong.

Some obvious positives stand out among all three: Lauko, Senyshyn, Zech, Swayman, Vladar and Ahcan (with some difference of view).

I like these grades better than some I have read over the years

 

[ODAAT]

I have a problem with a few players in Boston KK was never one of them, glad he's getting some work today

hard working kid, no doubt about it, wish some of that would rub off on JDB

This is sick

You and me both. When I realized we were going to see grades I felt like a middle school kid again. "Oh shit, they're out. How much trouble am I going to be in?".

Hoping for one those very rare exceptions when they were pretty good and the comments weren't all about the potential I was not living up to! That was such a relief -- as are these rankings!

I don't get the JDB bashing. He is not putting up points as hoped, but its not like Smith is killing it either

Really like Fred Stud JDB line.

[arider1990]

Goal by Lyle to put Providence up.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Brady Lyle!

 

[Saxon Eric]

Wolff had a nice shift a few minutes earlier

 

[Saxon Eric]

Lyle from Ahcan, a bomb from downtown

 

[arider1990]

Holding by Voyer to put Providence on the kill.

 

[arider1990]

PP goal by Barron to tie the game

 

[Saxon Eric]

Looked like Messner with the poor D there

 

[arider1990]

Senyshyn and Lauko with a great chance.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Lohrei would have scored there...

 

[arider1990]

Interference on Wolff to put Providence on the kill again

 

[arider1990]

Ahcan with a breakaway chance.

 

[arider1990]

Goal by Giuttari to make it 2-1 Hartford

 

[arider1990]

Blidh with a matching minor for roughing

 

[arider1990]

Tripping by Geertsen to put Providence on the PP

 

[Saxon Eric]

After 1
Hartford 2 PVD 1
Shots 11 to 7 Bruins
Ahcan and Lyle putting on a show
Senyshyn and Lauko with multiple scoring opportunities
Zech needs to be separated from Didier
PP still woeful

 

[BruinsNetwork]

Lyle has good tools, but his offensive acumen is definitely lacking. With time and space? Yep, he can rip it. Having to decide on the fly whether he should pass, shoot or delay? Things definitely get a little hectic for him.
