Providence Bruins General Discussion thread ‘24-‘25 II

I guess Locmelis is off to World's . good luck to him there. I hope somehow Providence is still playing when they are over,

That 4th line is going to grind, and cause some pain

 

[Mantis]

Is Merkulov done?

I was listening to a coaching podcast the other day, Canadian interviewer, European coach. The coach said last time he checked, about 200 million people watch the Stanley Cup playoffs, as they should. It's a big deal, best players in the world... but the world championships, they get around 1.5 billion with a B viewers. I was shocked.

At first glance, Locmelis leaving seems wrong, but when you look at it from that perspective you can see why it was a no brainer for him.

 

[Mantis]

The World Championships is about as relevant as the last couple Olympics if its not going to be best on best

 

[Saxon Eric]

Is Merkulov done?

Broken Coller Bone, so most likely yes

 

[Dr Hook]

PBs looking a little offensively challenged in the early going

Outshot 5-0 through 7:45.

 

[Dr Hook]

Outshot 5-0 through 7:45.

kind of like the big club lol

 

[Mantis]

PM me if anyone wants a link to the game. Can’t post it in here.

 

[Dr Hook]

DiPietro looking solid so far, and he’s needed to be

 

[08SeaBass08]

Only took Charlotte 16 shots to get one to dribble through. At least we’re keeping it close in shots at 16-4…

 

[Dr Hook]

Woof- Duran missed a breakaway and then Charlotte scores shortly after. PBs look like ass tonight.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

"Almost halfway thru game, Providence has only 7 shots"

Yuck

 

[chizzler]

Every year, they get so many changes toward the end of the year, it seems to ruin all the continuity they had. I dunno.

 

[Grasshopperking]

Poitras just got destroyed. Not just the NHL competition

 

[Dr Hook]

Poitras just got destroyed. Not just the NHL competition

Yeah he’s been getting knocked about a little bit tonight

 

[Dr Hook]

I feel like I am watching an even less talented version of the big Bs here. Not much going forward the first two periods, self-inflicted wounds, and come out in the third down 2 and start playing like they should have from the opening faceoff. And the Powerplay is fugly too

 

[08SeaBass08]

Garbage passing, worse decision making and lackluster everything aside from hits. The absolute pinnacle of mediocrity.

 

[08SeaBass08]

On the other hand, there’s been some spectacular comedy in our section.

Care to expand?

You’re not the embarrassing dancing dad in the green shirt are you? Lol

 

[Mantis]

Well that wasn’t very fun to watch. Could definitely use Merkulov and Locmelis but it is what it is.

 

[Alan Ryan]

P-Bruins shut out 2-0. They need 3 wins in a row on the road to advance. There goes the opportunity for extended development the young players needed.

 

[08SeaBass08]

Care to expand?

The guy who accused the ref of being someone who doesn’t return shopping carts and then told Kahkonen he hopes he steps on a Lego.

 

[08SeaBass08]

You’re not the embarrassing dancing dad in the green shirt are you? Lol

Nope. I’m too pretty to put on the Jumbotron. I’d end too many relationships.
