Player Discussion Justin Brazeau

[DKH]

I remember before Brazz played his first game, there was a lot of people saying he was big but lacked physicality. He’s probably been one of the most consistently physical 4th liners in the last handful of games. He’s made a couple of big hits and is an absolute pain in the ass to get off the puck. He protects the puck in front of him like Coyle does.

Yah well said

He’s definitely going to not be called Barbara Brazeau by the leather-lungs in the balcony

His reverse hit on Matheson was nice. Nothing special but it being against Montreal and the way most of the team plays it was nice to see.

Imagine if he scored the GW goal that sends the Bruins to the SCF?

" BRAZEAU BRAZEAU BRAZEAU!! JUSTIN BRAZEAU!! "

You can’t play Maroon and Brazeau together in 2024

We shall see

He won't be winning any speed contests, but he hasn't seemed to me to be too slow for the league. He probably moves as well as JVR, and Maroon, maybe Backes near the end. He can get where he needs to be when he needs to be there and seems smart enough to do it without the great wheels.

Reminds me of Dave Andreychuk

i've also thought of that comparison. Dave had game.

He was a goal scorer, good hands, used his size well , good net presence and wasn't the most gifted skater. If Brazeau can do half of what Andreychuk did then we have a player.

This dude is gonna be a fan fave real fast...

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Reminds me of Dave Andreychuk

I was thinking more like Phil Esposito.

Then I was like nah... More like Gordie Howe.

 

[McGarnagle]

He's pretty much giving us what we hoped the best case scenario for Lucic would be this year.

 

[Dizzay]

Wouldn't mind him taking some boxing lessons in the off season. Guy is an absolute beast, throw in the element of beating people up and we might have our next Cam Neely here hahaha

Is this kid really 245 lbs? Looks like he's still "officially" listed at 220 but every article I find about him now is saying 245. If so, maybe he NEEDS to lose weight to get faster?

220 lol

The Barge is like the Mountain in GoT

Rempe looks like you could fold him up and put in a suitcase

Brazzeau is like the favorite recliner you are wondering if you can get it thru the door way into the man cave

Beecher - Boqvist- Brazzeau line is very good

They were all in Providence at one time

 

[Guelph Bruin]

Boqvist has speed and strong defender - he’s gotta be in there

Jack Hughes said his loss hurt the Devils a lot

Boqvist is an elite responsible defender that has speed to take advantage of his limited offensive chances. I hit the Devil's board a lot because my coworkers son is one of their goalies ...it's not only Hughes that laments...it's a big portion of their HF fanbase lamenting the loss of his speed and defensive acumen.

I didn’t realize how good he was till @LSCII started trashing him

He hasn't been in the Brazeau thread yet, maybe you should be worried that he's not that good

Lonnie is the best

I’d rather have him living on my street then in this thread

These Brazeau analogies are great.

He’s both a brontosaurus and a leather recliner

 

[ODAAT]

Reminds me of Dave Andreychuk

his story and his style of play remind me of our old friend Knuble, late bloomer kind of stuff, real nice story

that line was, by far, the best last night, consistently gave the Rags fits

I was thinking the same thing!

Dude just hangs around the net as if to say, “move me. Cuz I’m not leaving”

He's like a Nick Ritchie that shows up every shift.

Kid is legit. I don’t care how good his skating is. I care about how long he can park his ass in front of the net and put away 2nd/3rd chances. Play your game. So far so great.

This team really missed guys like him and JVR who get these dirty goals. Especially if we remain allergic to regulation wins into the playoffs, they’re going to matter when Pasta can’t score 3 goals a night.

What an audition from him. Definitely will become a fan favorite really quickly.

His play along the boards stands out to me as well.

He never seems to be behind the play. Which is strange because he appears to be pretty slow. I guess his foot speed was what kept him from being drafted because he put up good enough numbers in his draft year to be selected.

Looks like he lost 25 lbs. maybe he was even slower before. He looks huge out there. Defenders seem to bounce off him when he is playing along the boards.
