Providence Bruins General Discussion V

[Blowfish]

Its sad that Senyshyn is still stuck down there

so much hope for the kid. Maybe he is going to take the Blake Wheeler long route to make it to the nhl

See similarities to Grabner

He's on next year radar....probably the plan all along. Or he's on his way back to Ottawa in exchange for a senator.

 

[remer]

i agree. It would be nice to see Senyshyn. Give the kid a chance.

McIntyre has really turned it around since the start of the season. Has he played his way back into the goalie mix for a job in Boston?

From Mark Divver:

Zane McIntyre stopped 52 of 53 shots in his two starts. He has won 11 games in a row and is tied for second in the league with 19 wins. He posted his 10th career shutout with the P-Bruins on Sunday and now is one behind Tim Thomas and Hannu Toivanen, who hold the franchise record with 11.

Good, bad & ugly from Providence Bruins weekend

Not one word on Donato.

 

[Ratty]

Not one word on Donato.

Yea, I’m surprised, too, that he didn’t mention the great shot for a goal vs Syracuse.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Not one word on Donato.

Mixed effort so far

I like Stempniak

Seems like he was either gonna play in the bruins organization or not at all. Hard not to respect that.

Worst case scenario he helps them out when they need bodies and provides valuable veteran experience down on the farm. Best case is he proves he has a little juice left and acts as depth for the bruins

 

[neelynugs]

assume we are talking the dreaded concussion for JFK. probably takes him out of play for the deadline.

Pretty sure he lives in the area anyways, so sounds like more to me of not wanting to leave his family and keep pursuing the hockey dollar in Europe than it does some sort of loyalty or obligation to the Bruins.

He does indeed live and train here. I’m 100% sure that’s why it was bruins or bust. I’m just saying i respect the fact that he stayed in-shape just in case this opportunity with the Bruins org arose. That’s cool of him to not completely call it A career after getting cut in camp. I hope he takes advantage of the opportunity and plays as well as he did in the preseason. Providence could use it. If he shows that he has a little left in the tank then we have an extra veteran forward we can throw out there and trust in case of an emergency (instead of a Daugavins, for instance :|)

Decent action early in the first, McIntyre look sharp so far.

Good news for Chris Breen: The Marlies' announcer says the Providence defenseman is 6'8"! Still growing in his late 20s.

McIntyre lets in a softie midway through the first. 1-0 Marlies.

1-0 end of the first. Marlins got better as the period went on. Providence having trouble getting much going, no surprise with new players, some new lines, etc.

Stempniak and Kampfer, who have probably skated together quite a bit this year, team up for a shorty. Kampfer's first of the year in the A.

Bruins go up 2-1. Stempniak gets credit with Donato crashing the net.

 

[Blowfish]

Hughes promoted to top line....was playing center earlier in the year (3rd line). He's next up....Pulling for you Hughes!
