Providence Bruins General Discussion thread XI - Providence Bruins to play abbreviated season in Massachusetts

[FREDERIC82FAN]

QUOTE="neelynugs, "Jury is out on his ability to think the game at a high level consistently, and to stay away
from the stupid penalties/running guys and getting out of position. but no doubt he's showing the upside people saw in his draft year.

I remember him in his first Junior game. ( preseason??) A tough guy started a fight with him and Zboril knocked him out with ONE punch. I've been watching him ever since.

 

[PepeBostones]

Is Clifton still injured? If not I guess he'll be the first in line to cover for Brandon but I think Jakub Zboril will get a chance too. He's been impressive in Providence and think he's ahead of Urho Vaakanainen for now. There's been a healthy competition all year between Lauzon, Zboril and Vaakanainen and with Lauzon already up and playing reagularly. Moore probably will be the 7th D unless more injuries.

I think Jeremy Lauzon is fast becoming a real gem, a dependable defenseman. Strong along the boards and in front of his own net. Rarely caught out of position, has a long reach and active stick on the penalty kill. That he was signed to a ONE WAY contract says alot how much the Bruins like him

No Lauko tonight

The next Larry Robinson was what I remember

I was livid they passed on Bellows

Kluzak may have not turned into the next Robinson, but he was better than Bellows imo. Another player who just couldn't stay healthy. When he was, he was a beast and as talented as anyone behind the blue-line not named Ray Bourque. I still remember Dick Irvin raving about how good Kluzak was and that the Bruins had two of the best defenseman in the NHL.

My only disappointment about that trade was Brad Palmer. I thought he was was going to be a star in the making, I remember watching him fire a slapshot ripping a hole in the back of the net and I couldn't believe the bruins got him in the deal

They drafted Kluzak with bad knees

terrible move to me

Followed his shot after a save from the slot
Assist to Studnicka and Zboril

yeah I agree with that, but he was a stud when healthy. They should of taken Stevens.

Bellows scored 485 career goals and Harry could have added him to a 1983 powerhouse

brutal

Turned out that way,that's for sure.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Providence blows a 3 on 1,then on the ensuing PP Zboril stripped and a 2 on none Vladar bails him out

 

[Saxon Eric]

After 1
Providence up 1-0
Studnicka's line tormenting Springfield
Defending looks good
Vladar dialed in

 

[Fenian24]

So Providence, which already has the worst broadcast in the AHL, has bring your kid to work tonight or something and the guest "color" commentator has his mic so close to his mouth he sounds like Darth Vader when not speaking.

Vladar looks good tonight and the game has been a bit chippy. Zboril also has looked good

 

[Saxon Eric]

After 2
Still 1-0
Terrible period from Providence
Sloppy with long stretches of uninspiring play
Vladar keeping them in the lead
Need to come out strong and grab 2 points

 

[Deuce17]
