Providence Bruins General Discussion thread XVII

[ODAAT]

Lettieri has, from all I have read here, earned a few games and it was so unfortunate earlier this year he was injured before getting a few in but selfishly wanted to see that Toporowski kid simply because every time I read the PB`s thread, the kid is doing something exciting

You were never going to see Toporowski. He doesn't have a contract.

how many guys can the bruins call up for that game in montreal? seems like you can skirt the 4 call-up rule with the
"emergency" designation. maybe it depends on how much cap room they have? this is why dom is the man, he
has all the answers.

They can add $3 million in cap hits. Lots of room so they can call up all of Providence. I'm sure they have the "medical" support to meet emergency callup requirements.

that game should be entertaining as hell, watching all those young fellas get after it. too bad reilly can't play, guy makes too much cream.

 

[bruinmann77]

they need to sign topo

 

[Alicat]

congrats to brandon bussi on the callup.

is it BUSS-ee or BOO-see? i watch some away feeds and seems like the opposing teams never care how to say a name properly.

Already seeing a few "He's better than Swayman" comments on social media. HAHAHAHA

Congrats on a great season and a call up but anyone saying he's better than Sway is sniffing glue

 

[bruinmann77]

People need to take a step back so far he might be down the road

Amen. He is 6 months older than Swayman, and now has sat on the bench in the NHL for a game, while Sway has already compiled a 53-23-7 record at the NHL level.

And I like Bussi

 

[KrejciWinger]

We don't know who's "better" because Bussi has never gotten a chance at the NHL level.

Is Swayman a more accomplished goaltender? Obviously yes.

Looking forward though, things could get interesting with the upcoming cap crunch.

I mean…ok. We don’t know if Adam Fantilli is better than Sidney Crosby because Fantilli hasn’t had a chance at the NHL level either.

Sorry but Sway over Bussi all day, every day.

Goalies are far more volatile. Really though I'm glad we have Ullmark + Swayman for this playoff run, I just think people are too quick to make conclusions about the future.

At the same time people are ridiculous to be suggesting the Bruins move on from Swayman for an unproven AHL goalie who has had a solid season.

I'm glad he got a call up but some fans need to slam on the breaks.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Might have to go to both home games this weekend

Most interesting to see these prospects at the AHL level.

With Lohrei, Frederic, Harrison and Poitras being great on the PP, how do you see Mougenel setting up the PP units? That is, if the last 3 take the ice at all.

Personally, I can't see Poitras and Harrison on the same unit. Poitras likes to set up on the right half wall and make plays from there while Harrison like to fire one-timers from the right circle. Curious as to how you see them setting up.

Hmmm
Merkulov camps out on the Right Faceoff as well

I'm assuming vets will be sitting this weekend and let the boys have at it

PP unit 1 Toporowski Poitras Lysell ,Lohrei and...maybe Kuntar rotating around the 2 wings,Poitras needs a trigger man so I gave him 3

PP#2 Merkulov Brazeau Harrison Ahcan and Maybe Steen,Carrick if he's playing
