Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy: Justin Brazeau

I knew that it was going to take a lot of hard work, and it was going to be a long road just to get to the places I wanted to go. Growing up in small-town northern Ontario, nothing is given to you.…

The he's slower worries need to be put to rest, he is no slower than Geekie, Freddy , Coyle and he looks like the roadrunner compared to JVR

I cannot agree that he is faster then JVR. Nothing close to the others.

He reminds me a bit of a poor man’s Andreychuk.

Found money for the B's, good for the kid.

Thanks for sharing this . A great read . It says so much about what is required to make it.

Yeah, great read, thanks. Looking forward to reading the sequel!
It seems that because of his size and his skating it takes him a while to “ramp-up” to the level every time he moves up. Well there’s no higher level now (well there is the 3rd, 2nd and 1st lines. Luckily in Boston that only goes as high a 3 ) so hopefully he keeps ramping it up!

I can’t believe he has 5 goals already. A little beginners luck or are we looking at the worlds slowest 20 goal scorer?

He should have 6 too but that bs offside review against the Blues screwed him.

If you're a smart player you'll make it work regardless of your physical limitations. Pavelski is a great modern example, never a good skater but he knows where to be and can score the dirty goals. As he's gotten older and slower he seems to becoming even smarter too.

I think Brazeau seems smart enough to carve our a pretty good career in the middle 6, hopefully we aren't jumping the gun a bit though.

I think its a bit of luck, but he's a big guy to move and does a lot of his damage in the dirty area. If at the end of the day all he turns into is a depth 15/15 guy then I'd be more than happy.

I don't think the 5 is luck at all. For my mind he could easily have 8. If nothing else he's been unlucky.

You also make your own luck 24 inches from the net...

If you're willing to go to the dirty areas and make life difficult on the goaltender, no goal is lucky.

Interesting read from 5 years ago:

 

[Grasshopperking]

Any updates on his injury?

Any updates on his injury?

no news is good news. A break you'd see quicker, unless it's massively swollen but idk about that. I suppose it could be a sprain and they're waiting to XRAY but they'd pretty much know without an xray if there was a break


I think he'll be out 4 weeks including the time he's already missed but that's my shot in the dark prediction

Fingers crossed. His big body in front of the net would come in handy in the PO's.

So far nothing official.
I heard one unconfirmed rumor it’s a shoulder. But like I said no confirmation.

I was thinking shoulder or wrist .Week to week tells me if I had to bet blind I am wagering on something broke or separated at the betting window.

Week to week is better than I initially thought when he left the ice. Beats the alternative. Bad luck for the kid.

Playoffs start April 20....hope he is back by then.
The Maroon signing is looking better now if JB cannot come back in round one.

As someone who has snapped it before, that sured looked like a collar bone to me.

 

[Mione134]

Him flying home isn't a good sign. Let's just hope nothing is broken and he heals up in time for the playoffs

 

[TD Charlie]

I'm ok with week to week. Win some games and he likely becomes available.
