Providence Bruins General Discussion thread XVIII

Easily best game of the season for Hall,Arseneau and Brunet
Amazing crowd in Cleveland to watch this game
Another decent game from Merkulov and Lysell
Wonder if healthy scratch Harrison gets in tonight?

Any concerns that no one continues to mention strong games from Brazeau, Richard and McLaughlin? They log so much ice time and I’m worried that this team won’t have enough to go deep into the playoffs without these guys dominating each game. Richard has been the biggest surprise, thought he’d dominate but maybe a lot of his points last year were PP? If so, that explains some of this as PBruins PP could use some help!

McLaughlin seems to be the designated shutdown guy,kill off the game type
Richard hasn't impressed but is also coming back from injury
Brazeau is what he is

Ya good points. Harrison subs back in tonite, Hall back in the stands. Let’s go PBruins, let’s go 3 in a row!!!

Hall earns 2 assists and his reward is the stands lol

Anyone know if Mast is subbing in? If so, better not be for Brunet! IMO, he was one of their best D last night!!!

Mast in

Yeah that sux for Hall, this the unhealthy part of having all that competition, it hurts some players development.

Regula injured

Tony Dick from Farinacci and Lysell
1-1 after 1

 

[Dangleittus13]

Now that was a big league shot by Lysell! Explosive speed gave him time and space to unload the twisted wrister!!!

 

[Saxon Eric]

Lysell from Tony Dick and Callahan
2-1 Bruins

Lysell and Farinacci are both playing well, which is fantastic despite the 5-4 loss.

Who the heck replaced Hall? I don't get it. Any thoughts on the players? How was Richard? Is he back to being healthy?

 

[JoeIsAStud]

It's been a pretty brutal last 10 months for Lysell. But hopefully this is him finally healthy getting his game back together and getting back to the player he was his first 2 months in Providence last year before WJC and injuries, which led to everything just falling apart

Harrison replaced Hall on 4RW. Very strange as Harrison is a high end skilled guy yet hasn’t shown any of this through his first 5 games. He’s another player that should either be back in Jr (is he eligible?) or playing big minutes in Maine.
Hall seems to have made big strides this year with his play, he looked really good in Friday’s game. Why don’t they just bury him in Maine so at least he can play? Will only get worse when Steen comes back, oh and Abate, and maybe even Brown.

Richard looked gooooddd last night, had a nice goal and was really moving out there! I hope this is just the start of great things to come!

Kuntar’s another that while he works hard, I don’t think he’s been overly effective the past few games at C, I think he should be playing at LW/RW as it suits his style more. And move him up the line up - move Brazeau back to 4W!

Divver getting spicy (and I don't disagree) from the Bad:

'Play-by-play guys who reflexively gripe “And there’s no call!” every time someone on the team that signs their paychecks goes down need to shut the hell up. Save it for when there really is a missed call. Chances are it won’t be long.'

Hoping Hall draws back in....

What are you some Yale fan or what?!? Lol

Ha no...Just a guy that watched him play in Buffalo and he impressed. I wasn't surprised to see him pick up some points recently.

Ya he definitely appears to have turned the corner, but who do you sub out? No chance anyone in the top 10 come out regardless of play, and Arseneau is likely locked in based on recent performance so that leaves Harrison only that could come out. I hate the position this kids in. He’s an 03, so young and needs to be playing “offensive” minutes…no PP and 4th line minutes isn’t developing his skill set, rather killing his confidence. Still think he should be in the OHL or Maine playing big minutes.

Game Day!!! Abate subs in for Harrison at 4RW, Regula / Wotherspoon sub in for Brunet and Mast which I personally think sucks as Brunet has been very good!!!
