Player Discussion Jake DeBrusk II

[Over the volcano]

2015 draft

Impossible, that draft was a total disaster that set them back for years to come.

 

[Dellstrom]

Great turnaround for him. He picked a perfect time to slump and a perfect time to roar back from it. Hopefully he can stay hot... 30 isn't out of the question for him.

He's definitely become one of my favorite players on the team very quickly. After he scored that goal in Game 7 against Toronto I swore I'd buy his jersey. I've been cheaping out on that but I still definitely plan to.

DeBrusk is the perfect jersey tee

Debrusk has the 22nd most goals from a LWer this season despite missing 9 games. 20th in GPG. All despite playing with, overall, probably the worst combinations anyone has dressed as the #2 RW in the NHL all season. This kid is turning into a #1 LW. I want this kid signed yesterday, 8 years 5.5 full NMC.

That goal last night is just something that I've come to expect from Debrusk. Blocks the pass at the opposing blue line, gets his legs moving to win the race to the puck, fights through an obvious hold, nice simple pass to the middle of the ice, continue to the net and go all out to make sure he buries it. Hilarious celebration as well.

Haha well done sir.

I would love to see him hit 30 goals. Tough task...he'll need to stay hot and maybe get a multi-goal game or hat trick. But it's not out of reach.

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

Debrusk is playong at another level right now. He seem faster, charges the net. Battles as always. What confidence can do. Would like him to plot 30 goals!

Rask and Halak are actually playong very well. Hope the Bruins don’t peak to early

You can miss out on some really talented players by targeting pure skill, but you can also hit on guys like the bruins have with Debrusk. Kid is special, I think health provided he’s just gonna keep getting better and better like Bergeron. You see his work ethic on display every game. No shifts off.

 

[Krupp]

What's amazing is that despite his early year struggles and the injuries, he's still only a handful of goals behind Marchand!

Love this kid. I hope he transcends just being good top 6 material and becomes a genuine Leaf Killer for the playoffs!

 

[FONZIE]

kid is all heart but every time he gets hit and is on the ice, I almost laugh when the camera is on him and he`s getting to his feet because he always does it so slowly, looking like he`s been through the ringer. Looked good without that tooth last night too

I noticed this too. Real slow to get up. I worry that he has a banged up shoulder

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

White hot right now. On pace for 28G..... I wonder if he can reach it. He went 9 games without a goal this season too...... Also on pace to score only 2 less points than last season. This kid has 30/30/60+ talent easy.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

The sophomore slump seems to be over. For him and Heinen.

And since, all the Bruins do is win.

[prizminferno]

a lot of Parise and Nash in his game

 

[The don godfather]

Heck I said 30 goals next year. Correction this year book it.

 

[CDJ]

I see some Loui in him. Smart without the puck, creative passer. Not super dynamic or anything but simply good at hockey

EDIT: for some reason I thought this was the Heinen thread. I’m dumb. Debrusk is very dynamic. Totally agree on the parise similarities

 

[CptxMorgan]

It's hard to pin what my favorite part of his game is but it'd probably have to be his tenacity.

 

[zaYG]

it's honestly uncanny

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Wheels fastest guy on the ice. What a player!!!

Wheels fastest guy on the ice. What a player!!!

He'll be a step or two behind a guy, and blow by them. Vs Tampa, he did it again and had a good chance on net.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

He went through a slump, where he looked pretty lost, but he’s back in full gear now.

On top of that, putting a guy like Johansson on his line is exactly what he needs. Another guy that can move and skate like him. Ie keep up.

 

[Kate08]

I need to know the team’s intentions with him so I can buy a jersey.

 

[False Start]

Unless some freak slump/injuries happen. He's gonna be here for awhile.

I wouldn't worry about it. Kid loves it here. Sweeney doesn't want to give him up (I don't think he does anyway).

 

[prizminferno]

Lock him up for eternity.
