Well tough shit it is then.
Coming from you, its pretty clearly piled higher and deeper.

The funny thing is, a year from now, when it's clear he's not a 6'4, better defensively Carlo, w/ better offense than Mike Reilly, you'll be the first to say "He's a 2nd rd pick who looks like a capable 4 or 5, why is everyone crapping on him so much? What do you expect from a pick in the 50s."I don’t know how you watch a 6’4 octopus who somehow seems a foot longer than Carlo at the same height and see Mike Reilly. You do you though lol.

To quote Don Godfather... book it.
Did you think he was going to anywhere besides Providence?My frst good look at Lohrei and I would be shocked if he breaks camp.
I never bought in on the hype on his file.
Rangy. Talented. Yes.
Caught up ice constantly? Yes.
Appears to have tools but poor decision making positional. Just 1 game, but I think he is an eigth or ninth prospect on most teams but we don't have the depth so he's just got overhyped here.
Fire everyone. No exceptions. No quarter.I think some folks need to settle down. It's two freaking prospect games after a few days of practice.
What?I don’t know what that means.
He’s not in the “better defensively than Carlo” archetype. He’s also not a #1 defenseman.
If he’s a #3 in the Dougie Hamilton archetype in 3 years is that good? Again, not as good as Dougie but that kind of player?
Death.
Taxes.
Bruins fans inability to evaluate defensemen.
There's not many in the NHL that are better defensively than Carlo . Most underrated D by fans but not by coach or teammates .The funny thing is, a year from now, when it's clear he's not 6'4, better defensively Carlo, w/ better offense than Mike Reilly, you'll be the first to say "He's a 2nd rd pick who looks like a capable 4 or 5, why is everyone crapping on him so much?

No, I certainly didn't but many have mentioned it as a possibility.Did you think he was going to anywhere besides Providence?
A little surprising to hear Hall picked as #1 for the game but that’s not a bad thing. Maybe this is the year that he turns the corner and brings what the Bs drafted him for, a big presence with good overall skill set. Like to hear that he brought a physical presence and was tough along the wall, they need that type of player in their roster.Not much to celebrate at this game but the beer and wings...
My 3 stars...
1. Hall - don't think you would notice on bad feed but watching live ... thinking we hear more about Hall this camp ..dude stood out, physical, speed, pain in arse to play against. Would like to see Hall play higher up in the line up.
2. Lohrei - carried the puck into the o zone with ease..thought he looked good/engaged
3. Merk & Lysell made things happen
Honourable mention - Mast (Steady Eddie)
The meh... Poitras and Harrison
The blah ...Halaburda, Farinacci and wft is up (down) with Beecher (I'm worried bruins may have themselves a JAG)
The worst part was no binkie Topo to watch and long border crossing.
TBH I was surprised Hall wasn't mentioned ... I missed Kuntar's goal. IMO Kuntar Harrison and Topo posses shoot first mentality. Something the bruins desperately need. Good seeing Sweeney, McQuaid. 2 rows behind me.A little surprising to hear Hall picked as #1 for the game but that’s not a bad thing.

How did Kuntar look? Heard he scored a beauty backhand but how was he overall? I really like his game, gritty and plays pissed off! Excited to see how he goes in some exhibition Bs games.
What about some of the other invitees and guys like Pederson who I think are in Prov deals - any potentials?
I said "offensive skill sets". Absolutely has zero to do with height. His passing, hands
and decision making were similar to what I saw of Reilly. Don't like it, tough shit.
I don’t pay to much attention to prospects being penciled in the roster every year. They haven’t had a kid make it out of the blue in a long time.No, I certainly didn't but many have mentioned it as a possibility.
The problem you are referring to is the conundrum of kids trying to stand out in camp. It’s a toss up between standing out and team play. Lysell will get it. He has what can’t be teached, skill and speed. He’ll be fine in Providence.Sabres fan here, didn't know anything about anyone other than Lysell coming in. The org has done a great job of getting everyone in on the system early, but at this level when there's a breakdown it gets ugly very quickly as you saw yesterday on a couple goals.
I was really disappointed in Lysell, looked like the most disinterested guy on the ice and was playing an individual game when everyone around him was playing a team game. His skill was on display a few times but didn't create any kind of real chances. Hard to really assign anything to someone at 20 years old but he just doesn't look like an NHL caliber forward to me.
On the flip side I thought Lohrei was really really good. It's obvious he still has some adjustments to make but his offensive instincts are very advanced for his age. Great mobility for his size and I didn't notice any major defensive lapses. Didn't get to see much in the way of PP time but he looked like everything you want your PP QB to be, I wouldn't be surprised to see him put up 40-50 pts in Providence this year.
Lysell not a NHL caliber player? Give your head a shake, he will play NHL games this season at some point.Sabres fan here, didn't know anything about anyone other than Lysell coming in.

The real question is will the Bruins have a NHL caliber roster ?Lysell not a NHL caliber player? Give your head a shake, he will play NHL games this season at some point.
Would love to see him play a few games with the sole intent of smothering an opponent's top line/player.My frst good look at Lohrei and I would be shocked if he breaks camp.
