Providence Bruins General Discussion thread ‘24-‘25 II

[Mantis]

I have actually been paying for AHL live for like 6 years now because I had some cousins and friends in the AHL (RIP Colby Cave) but I barely watched Providence this year. Can someone post what they think the lines will like for the playoffs? I am probably gona tune into these guys more than the NHL playoffs.

I hope the guys trying to make a push to get on the roster next season build off their time in the NHL and do well in the upcoming playoffs.

anyone watching the playoff games. I think AHL live is what you need but will they carry all Providence games?

Yeah I’m also jonesing for watching a playoff run with a rooting interest.

You would think Nesn would step up and put them on the second channel

Locmelis….

Locmelis….

Been watching stuff with the misses, how’s everyone looking?

They can’t run away fast enough after a season is over. They barely want to do pre season games

Sad but true

I hope this is the year Prov goes far. Talented team. I'm hoping they do it.

Locmelis is an absolute stud muffin. But I’m clearly bias.

You’re right to be

Caught that work on the powerplay, Locmelis set that all up and kept driving the play


Bruins win 3-2 on a Tufte goal with 26 seconds left, jump the pens on the standings

Another fun win
46 shots, attacked in waves
Locmelis 1 goal 1 assist 4 shots

Eagerly awaiting Divver's take

Here's a scenario for you, Locmelis keeps this pace up into the playoffs but then leaves mid stream to play for Latvia

And then comes back for the finals? If I recall the Calder Cup playoffs take as long as the NHL does basically, World Championships are 5/9 - 5/25 . I have no problem if that happens, and would expect that was the deal they made with the player. And it was very much worth it for the Bruins to get him this AHL experience if it was.

Providence certainly has enough for players

Wow. Kid has taken to the pro game very quickly! Impressive!

Mitchell on waivers. Lettieri, Minten, Lysell and Brunet sent down to Providence for the playoffs.

Bruins Place Ian Mitchell On Waivers, Reassign Five

The Boston Bruins have made a series of roster moves, including placing Ian Mitchell on waivers, after playing in their final game of the season.

I will watch both Latvia and Providence in the playoffs.

Here’s a question. Is Locmelis the Bruins most promising prospect? Top prospect?

I think it is too big an overreaction to rank him as the top prospect right now, but heck, if he puts up another 15 games like this and a strong World Championship he'll be in contention.

He has so much experience against men and older players due to his time on team Latvia its not surprising for his game to seamlessly translate to the AHL.

For me the point production surely is. I am happily surprised. Hope they let him develop in the AHL and don´t rush him.

I would say it is Minten, who I would expect to be on the third line next year. He is just such a smart player. I plan on getting Flohockey for the playoffs and getting a look at Locmelis. Hopefully Lysell continues to improve as well.
