Providence Bruins General Discussion thread ‘24-‘25

[Fenian24]

Providence Bruins practice rink is usually Providence College though in the past it's also been the 146 rink which is an absolute dump
P Bruins biggest draw after the City itself was that after 90% of the games you're able to sleep in your own bed, huge positive with guys with families

Hey I used to play at the 146 rink (they showed adult movies at the drive across the street back then). Who needs hot water in the showers or decent locker rooms. Soft!

That rink has always been a dump going back to the late 70s

Abate makes it 1-0 from McLaughlin and Kuntar

 

[Saxon Eric]

Tufte makes it 2-0 from Mitchell and Lettieri

Sens run DiPietro, Sweezey with a better response than you'd get in Boston

 

[Saxon Eric]

Pitlick got tossed before I tuned in for an alleged bad hit
Game has been pretty spicy, I like it

 

[Saxon Eric]

2-2 after 2
So many mistakes

 

[Saxon Eric]

Providence trying extra hard to give this game away

They secured 1 point, just barely

Bruins win in a shootout
Strong game from DiPietro
Merkulov still in a fog
Completely unimpressed with Lysell in OT

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?

Lysell and Merk look uninterested really troublesome

Nice to see Dipietro having a nice game

How did Harrison look in the game and then the shootout?.

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
My issue with OT last night was he looked to have a step on a defender twice and instead of going hard to the net, he peeled away, that was cowardly Lion stuff
for the alleged next guy up he certainly hasn't made it indisputabley his

not sounding promising for the Providence Prospects

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.
