Brick got it, it's Low-zon.

Love this kid. He's a keeper and will be on our d for years to come . Just him alone has made the Hamilton worth it. Donny you did this time.

And buried in injured d-men, too

Lauzon is the most recent Bruins dman that I have been super impressed by when they got their chance.

Carlo
McAvoy
Gryz
Vaak

Seriously, the Bruins have NAILED it. Lauzon has been much better than I anticipated for somebody as inexperienced as him coming into the pros.

Terrible gap control on that 4th goal

hopefully he learns from it

he seriously reminds me of a younger Adam Mcquaid (minus the brute plus a little more involved on offense).....size, better than average skating, conservative

He is a seriously better skater than McQuaid ever was, or is. Not a terrible comparison to make, but if Adam could skate like Lauzon, he wouldn't be on the Rangers right now.

Damn good thing too with the way they're going down with injury after injury.

Is it time for the Bruins to review their strength & conditioning????

Eh?? A younger Mcquaid was a better than average skater

Its not like Lauzon is exceptional

 

[Rumpy]

Lauzon does everything well. If it wasn’t for injuries he would have been here sooner.

He will never be spectacular but with health (knock on wood) he will be a solid 4/5 on a good team.

 

[Bergyesque]

Honestly, I don't remember McQuaid as being fleet-footed at all, and if there is one area where Lauzon would be better than him, it's precisely this one!

Anyhow, true, Lauzon is not exceptional, he doesn't seem to have one special skill. You could find a lot of D-men having at least one better skill than him.
That being said, I think he is pretty competent in all areas of the game.
Unless injuries derail his progression, his ceiling should be a pretty dependable D-man, able to play the role asked of him on the 2nd pairing.

Your hockey opinions are truly lacking, or you’re an expert at revising history


Quaider was always a sub par skater.

 

[rocketdan9]

with Lauzon, McAvoy and Carlo (hopefully stays healthy) .... I think the Bruins have a good succession plan for Chara eventual departure

Lauzon at 6'3 with good size/strength, reach and take care of business at the backend department....has been a pleasant surprise

Last night kudos with the potential game saving dive puck punch out of the open net play

If you are going to compare him to a former Bruin, I think Seidenberg is more apt. Similar body type with wide frame. LHD. Ability to play both sides. Physical in corners and front of net. Good first pass. Can jump up on the rush and actually make plays at the blueline when given space (Though isn't going to create it like someone like Krug/Grizz). Also think he can run point on a 2nd PP unit. Would really like to see him develop that side of his game in Providence this year. He has it in him.

yes...except Seidenberg was SLOW as SLOW

 

[BadBruins]

Prime Seidenberg was a good skater and great puck retriever. I'm talking about the guy we saw before the series of lower body injuries and surgeries. The guy that was playing like 23-26 minutes a night in all situations. I feel like even the washed up Seidenberg was more mobile than prime McQuaid.

 

[The don godfather]

If lauzon is the next Dennis seidenberg we hit the jackpot. Lauzon has to stay now. He's nhl material.

This is what Iam saying... but how?

Donny should of had more confidence in the back end depth in the offseason

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Hey guys, saw Lauzon for the first time and was super impressed! Think this kid just needs to stay up in the NHL for a few weeks now and really get in a groove. If they can nurture his confidence now then I don’t think he’ll ever be sent down after that, kid looks like a keeper (and a real gem of a second round pick).

 

[The don godfather]

I don't care who comes back on d. This kid better stay on top 6. He doesn't belong in the ahl and nothing to prove. He should stay with Carlo when he comes back. What a shut down pair they would be. Trade k. Millar.

I'd pump the brakes with Lauzon a bit. I'm glad he's had an okay couple games but honestly he wasn't good in Providence and did not earn (probably not fair to say in that terminology I'm sure he works very hard) a call up based on his play. They kind of just need people at this point. The night before he gets called up he makes a couple bad defensive plays and takes an incredible selfish penalty late in the game to cost Providence. Best if he gets a taste. goes back down and has a good camp next year.

Well that pumped the brakes by burning rubber to those who have been extolling Lauzon as a NHL ready defenseman. Do you think his performance since he was called up is an aberration and will not continue?

 

[Dr Hook]

I don't care what he did in Providence, to be honest. Some guys play better against better competition for some reason. He has been playing well in Boston and that is all that really matters.

 

[Tampbear]

He did well in Providence, I think that conclusion was came to by somebody stating Divver said it should have been Zboril, when in reality Divver said it could have been either one since both were playing well. I believe it was Saxon Eric commenting on his play early in the year claiming that he was the best defenseman on the ice some nights in Providence. Lauzon is almost certainly going to be a solid NHL player for a long time, I don't know why it has to be such a competition and people can't accept that we have a number of good defensive prospects.
