Player Discussion Jake DeBrusk II

[HockeyMomx2]

I'm so jealous of this guy. Heart and soul guy. Hitting his stride with Pastrnak out. Gonna be a leaf killer for life. Glad I picked him up in my hockey pool though. Must be a fan favourite.

He has endeared himself to many very quickly in his young career for a multitude of reasons. He is the epitome of the player that every coach wants on his roster. He, I believe, is our future Captain, after Bergy retires.

The way he played in those playoffs last year... he was unstoppable. He's gonna turn into another player who you love to have on your team but others hate to play against. Best type of player IMO.

DeBrusk is tied for 12th in the nhl in goals per game by LWers

He has blossomed into a 1st line talent this season

 

[Boston Bandit]

Glad we never traded this kid and that includes for Stone. This kid is future Captain material.

2 of them there are right handed shots and in top 3.Interesting as off wing allows the shooter to get shots off quicker..

This guy is still just scratching the surface.

He's missed around 10 games as well, plus playing through injury for a bit. When he's hot he's red hot. Has to round out his consistency a bit but he's a very, very tough player to deal with when he's playing confident. Has the toolbox and all of the tools inside it and uses them as well as anyone. To be at his level after just a season and a half is very impressive.

Above all that he just has "it". He's clutch, he has personality, he knows how much work he has to put in, he's a fan favorite, hits hard, soft hands... At the rookie camps they should show a 2 hour highlight video and say "do that". Definitely the poster boy for the next generation of our home-grown talent. I agree that if he continues to develop like he has he'll be our captain after Bergy.

This guy is still just scratching the surface.

You can tell that while he's a very fast skater, his edgework is still improving.

His puck protection has been rather impressive this season, he's getting smarter with his body and winning puck battles.

Like many others have stated, I see a 30 goal scorer in him rather easily. What a blessing he's been to Boston.

Yeah, the fine tuning on the skating is a work in progress but he's come a long way for a guy whose skating was a knock when he was drafted.

 

[Prince Pasta]

hes not crashing into things and skating to the bench immediately as much, so big plus there.

 

[BiGBear8]

love JD so glad bruins didnt trade him away..lastyear or this year nothing but great stuff from now on in baby
Go Bruins Go

 

[Tmac37]

Once he fills out like Pasta did watch out. Still gets thrown around out there a bit.

He certainly has that kind of character. After the Bergeron captaincy era, I could see him potentially getting an A and maybe a C in the future.

 

[ODAAT]

This guy is still just scratching the surface.

indeed he is, when he`s on, he`s a guy opponents have to be aware of. Still struggles with consistency at times. During times where he isn`t producing, he`s invisible but that isn`t an uncommon trait with younger players and I see him being a kid who is learning from those stretches

 

[whatsbruin]

I've said this before, but the goals I am seeing him get recently are the little chip in, deflections, rebound, and
that is all good, but he has a great shot. I'm surprised he doesn't get more goals from 15, 20 feet out that score.
He did get that goal vs Tampa from about the face off dot, thought he'd have more of those.
Not criticizing him, he's having a great year.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Welp.

 

[LouJersey]

Welp.

I wouldn't be shocked if Krejci just went to go lay in traffic. Poor guy.

 

[13Hockey]

Kuhlman sent back down..seems like good news

we only have 11 healthy fowards

So it would seem DeBrusk is healthy and ready for Saturday...unless there calling someone else up

 

[prizminferno]

Weird that they would send Kuhlman down for Prov's game tonight and then plan to play him via Emergency tomorrow night. Would be 3 games in 3 nights for KK.

 

[Pay Carl]

So he said he got injured during the second period of that Carolina game

Then continued to play extremely well including that awesome OT shift

Something tells me he won’t have any rust coming back

Hmmm...I actually didn’t know that.

I don’t think there’s any guy who enjoys skating as fast as possible as often as possible more than Jake DeBrusk.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

As expected, he was good in his first game back in the last six.

Brings the energy every game.

 

[TCB]

Pretty impressive stat here when Jake Scores!
