Providence Bruins General Discussion thread ‘24-‘25 II

[Mione134]

So, Letteri is going elsewhere and will put up Accari or Vatrano-type numbers. . . in the NHL.

Definitely not lol

 

[Absurdity]

Would this mean Ryan Mougenel could be on the hot seat after a poor performance?

He will get interviewed for the Boston job.

Really missed Merkulov this playoff run

 

[KnightofBoston]

damn, I thought the game was at 7 so I missed it, guess I didn't miss much tho

Yup.

 

[Skelen]

I think the team had the same mindset. Sad way for it to end

Gotta love the old time vet telling the millennial / Gen Z tweeter to put your big boy pants on in the play-offs

Old time vet? Nonsese. Both of them are tweeting from the comfort of their couch.

Unless he is at the rink, Divver is on his lazy boy in full recline mode. His live podcasts with Hags crack me up. His screen etiquette is the same as my dad's. Terrible lighting. Unflattering focal point shooting up at his jowls... The man couldn't care less about his public image and I am here for it. Agree with him or not - his concerns about the lack of durability/physicality have been valid so far.

Regarding to the hit. Unfortunately Poitras doesn't seem to get the message

He's pretty unaware of his surroundings for sure.

No kidding.

There's a thread on the main boards asking if this years' playoffs are "too violent". I worry for the world.

Meanwhile, Poitras sure does seem to eat hits. Kind of like Carlo in earlier days. Always seems to put himself in a position where he gets mashed. Don't know how you fix that, but it has to be fixed.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

If they havent already sit the kid down with Patrice.
If there is anyone who can walk him through the trials of learning to keep your head safe and avoid big hits it is him.

There is no hope if "fans" consider this playoff violent.

Panthers ECHL team should be playing with the amount of suspensions they want lol

What message? Two players going for a loose puck that neither are really close to and the player closest to the puck decides to slam the breaks on hit the other player rather than continue to pursue the puck, text book interference. Is Poitras suppose to anticipate that?

If there is one criticism of Poitras is that his skating stance is leaned over which exposes his head more, but I don't think that is fixable/changeable.

The message is to not put yourself in vulnerable positions to get get hit high or to get hurt.

I agree with you on your last sentence and because of this Poitras is trade bait for me. Unfortunately it seems that with the way he is playing he will be injured a lot of times. Anaheim saw that with Kase and moved on from him despite him having good numbers and playing well when healthy.

 

[Alan Ryan]

Good to hear Coach Mougenel’s comments on Poitras. I’d like to hear comments on the rest of the prospects also.

Skating is always fixable. We've seen it countless times. His skating stance coming out of junior was like Mitch Marner and the Leafs fixed his, but it took time.
