Providence Bruins General Discussion thread ‘24-‘25

[Blowfish]

Merk with a goal. Curious to hear thoughts on the Merk Pots Lett line. All 3 will be needed in Boston when injuries hit the team. Good to see 2 players not give up after being sent down.

1-0 Providence after 1
Merkulov from Lettieri and Millman

[PlayMakers]

[Saxon Eric]

Poitras and Duran playing very good hockey
Providence up 4-0
Viel from Millman, great power move

Harrison makes it 5-0
From Brunet and Viel
Harrison had done next to nothing this game and got a lucky bounce off his skate

Some positive things down in providence this weekend? How has Edward’s looked ? Glad to see our young forwards getting hot

 

[PB37]

McLovin -------> Providence

Boston <-------- Poitras

Soon, please

 

[Sevendust]

Let Poitras stay in the AHL. He still isn't physically ready for the NHL and was afraid to make a mistake all the time. Let him develop his game down there and don't rush him back.

If you watch that last clip from Bruins network he’s does a nice move at the blue line then throws a skip pass to a wide open Poitras

Very good assist there IMO

 

[ODAAT]

Looks like a first year pro, they are easing him and in limited minutes in limited games he looks OK, I could make a case he should be playing more

much appreciated , thx

 

[Kegs]

Poitras has 7 points in his last 4 games.

Nice to see Providence pair up talent with talent. Merkulov and Poitras have been great together. I feel like we usually see lines like Viel-Brown-Lysell.

Viel has 2 more goals than Lysell and is tied for 5th on the team in goals. Just saying.

Viel is also in his 7th pro year

Chemistry in Providence might = chemistry in Boston. Just give them a defensively responsible PJ Axelsson type wing and let them rip.

 

[BruinsJoe]

Dont understand the Mclaughlin think with the Bruins he s showing very nothing as 4th liner better have a guy like Viel who s gonna try something at least he will hit people

 

[Saxon Eric]

I would imagine Viel or Minimum Jones will be up once the road trip is over

 

[DominicT]

Sould have called up Regula. Or left him up

 

[Dr Hook]

Yep. But I guess they felt he wasn't good enough to play NHL minutes so had to risk waivers. It was that or send McLovin down to keep him right? Unless I am wrong (and I well could be) they don't have the cap space to have kept him up without sending someone down?

They had enough space. There are a lot of things they are doing with prospects I don't like. But then, according to them, I should be careful about what I say, and again, according to them, I should send them a message in private and not public.

Now I know how Bruins media feels.

Only @Gee Wally really knows what I'm talking about and when I showed him the message from the Bruins in which they said "we saw your post" Wally called them thin skinned.

I have literally been pissed off for two days and it takes a lot to piss me off

that's...something. wow.

I'd rather he was in Maine playing every night but then he wouldn't get to spend nearly as much time with Adam McQuaid. I can tell you McQuaid absolutely loves him. So I guess there are benefits to him being in Providence. I also question whether they are trying to develop him as a LD or a RD. He has spent the last, almost 2 full seasons playing on the right, but it's been a mixed bag in Providence.
