Hey I used to play at the 146 rink (they showed adult movies at the drive in across the street back then). Who needs hot water in the showers or decent locker rooms. Soft!
This is the first time since his draft that I’ve felt concerned about Lysell. Doesn’t sound like puck luck from what I’m reading… What are your thoughts/observations?
He scored a nifty five-hole goal in the shooutout. He was basically invisible during the game.
Thanks. The being invisible part seems to run throughout the system both Jr. and Sr. teams. That's a bit troubling!
He's not as good as he thinks he is,that's number 1
Every year we think they will be stacked, only to be disappointed. I hope not as I will be checking them out soon.
Any chance that is a product of all the "he is too selfish" and "he doesn't use his teammates" and "he tries to do too much and turns the puck over too often" critiques? I don't disagree that I would like him to be more assertive at times but people (not saying you necessarily) complain when he tries to make plays on his own and then they complain when he defers to teammates other times.
I feel like Duran is the kind of guy who might score 8 goals in Providence this year and get 12 with the Bruins next year...he's not scoring goal scorer goals. He'll be fine if he's forchecking, cycling and throwing some occasional hits. I can't imagine he'll be much more than a 4th liner who can hopefully kill penalties, bring honest effort consistently and maybe occasionally do the dirty work on the 3rd filling in for a injury. Not a knock, I like him and I've seem some occasional skill but I think that's what they are hoping he'd realistically be.
