Providence Bruins General Discussion thread ‘24-‘25

[Clode]

Damn they just collapsed

 

[BlackFrancis]

Every backhand pass looks like it's fluttering across asphalt.

 

[Fenian24]

Nice penalty shot by Lysell, he just continues to impress

 

[TCB]

Well that was less than entertaining. Bussi way back on his heels on that winning goal.

 

[PlayMakers]

Man Poitras, Merkulov and Lysell just keep piling up the points.

Merkulov has 24 in 24.
Poitras has 15 in 15.
Lysell has 12 in his last 15.

Merkulov has 24 in 24.
Poitras has 15 in 15.
Lysell has 12 in his last 15.

Our new third line…imagine keeping them together for a whole season to build chemistry, would be amazing.

They're actually not playing together. Merkulov and Poitras play with Lettieri. Lysell plays with Patrick Brown and Tufte.

I don't care how much Poitras is scoring in the A. Until he's stronger & learns to keep his head up I don't want him in Boston, he'll just get hurt again & possibly shorten his career. He's what, 20 years old and has already had major surgery on one of his shoulders.

He's a rare commodity for the Bruins- a draft pick who can score & make plays. Bruins should be thinking long term w/r/t Poitras.

Pasta played 75 games and had 34 goals at 20. I agree that Poitras put himself in bad positions to get creamed. I'm not really sold that him learning to avoid that in the AHL or the NHL is much safer. It's not like we are talking OHL vs NHL. It you want to mitigate risk, maybe wait until closer to the TDL to bring him up.

 

[Fenian24]

AHL is a more physical league still compared to the NHL. Poitras should be centering the third line with Frederic and either Wahlstrom or Coyle on RW. I still want Coyle moved but if they can't or won't move Coyle try to get something out of him as a wing. Poitras should also be on the second power play unit, he has skill and guts, get him up to Boston.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Providence vs Hartford
0-0 after 1
Shots 21-5 P's
Lysell active but frantic
PP ineffective, had a full 5 on 3
Kuntar buzzing

 

[PlayMakers]

We got a donnybrook!

 

[Saxon Eric]

Providence scores on their 29th shots
Pitlick from Viel and Sweezy

 

[PlayMakers]

Poitras just took a vicious cross check in the ribs way after the whistle. Ryan Mast jumps in and delivers frontier justice.

 

[PlayMakers]

Shots are 34-8 halfway thru the 2nd.

These cheapshotting plugs in the AHL are exactly why I think Poitras should be learning about how to play with NHL physicality at the NHL level.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Still 1-0
Shots 37-10

 

[CDJ]

btw shoutout to Ryan Mast for breaking his stick on Belzile, that’s how you respond. Belzile def felt that

They seem to be taking a lot of liberties towards him, my as well have him up in Boston. No question he has the skill and compete levels.

Matty P oozes intelligence
