Player Discussion Mason Lohrei

[Greek_physique]

Growing pains but his game is to have the puck more on his stick making things happen. He will get it, Larry Robinson said it takes about 200 games before you really know what you have. We have to take the good over the bad as no one else is going to carry the puck that much.

I can live with the mistakes....we all knew this was going to happen. I'm still impressed how confident he's with the puck...can't teach that.

I think they were on the Greer lost his shit train when they made that call...Greer was in the see red zone so they gave him the extra 2 IMO

Have to consider that the officials are right there, they hear everything said and have a better idea of who's a peacemaker and who's the aggressor.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

I believe Greer threw a few punches while they where being tied up with linesman

Could be. Just watched it again though and I didn't intially realise how hard Greer hooked McAvoy with his stick, which started the whole scrap off in the first place. The extras could well have been for that, in which case fair enough.

he's played exactly 82 games now

6 goals/32 points

still a work in progress in all faucets of the game but I love his confidence with the puck.

That’s a solid rookie season for blueline points.

Happy 46th birthday Mason!

Patience with this kid. He's got a level of poise to him that you don't see often

Great skill and poise. He’ll be a 70 -80 point defenseman in the near future

That's high hopes.

Only 7 or 8 defensemen a year score 70 or more points.

He's a baby(and a Bambi) in terms of an NHL defenseman. By the time he is 25-26, he should be top pairing in most situations. Unicorns like Makar, Hughes, Heiskanen, even a young Karlson, are not the norm for NHL d-men development. Letang down in Pitts, took years to figure out the D part of his game. Doug Hamilton, really never has, to the elite level of his offensive skills.
We need patience. I believe his physical skillset, and offensive hockey IQ set him up to be a pretty solid contributor. If the D comes along to the point that he's seldom a liability, and it should with more games, we'll have kept a Top 25 defenseman. Offense drivers, from the back end, are much rarer than stay at home types. JMHO

There are 4 defensemen in the NHL this year on pace to get 70 or more pts this year.

I'd set the predictions here a bit lower.

Does not like to hit or be hit to make a play. Weak on the puck, has terrible positioning. He has slightly above average puck skills. Does not seem to be learning much. If this wasn't hf, I would think some of you were out of your mind.

Very tall, young, hasn't grown into his body. Adding 10 pounds should help. Some tall people are ectomorphs and have trouble putting size on. A good nutrition and off season training should help with that.
He didn't spend as much time down in Prov as he probably should have, so he is learning under fire at the highest level in the world. It's to soon to anoint what the finished product is.
It's not like they're a championship caliber team. Let him learn. He certainly looked good against TBL.
FWIW, he was considered a project when he was drafted. Didn't finish his NCAA stint or spend much time in the AHL.

I know, "it's called Bruins" no acceptance of the need for patience!

High hopes indeed,but he’s that good offensively.Imo

Time will tell, but I see a kid with that type of offensive potential. Smooth skater, sees the ice very well,and a very high hockey IQ

Might agree if this post was from the beginning of training camp last year

The first half is correct but the rest is not - exceptional puck skills and offensive IQ. Learning greatly this season.

Lacks interest in using size or being physical absolutely.

 

[Mad-Marcus]

What high offensive skill player likes getting hit. Learning how to retrieve pucks w/o getting clobbered is something a lot of D-men struggle with at first (Carlo and his multi-color concussion history is proof enough).

I just have never seen the goal scoring ability at any level to suggest that kind of offensive potential. I think the B's should be very happy with the pick they made and the player they have. But I'm pretty confident in saying that he's not going to be a superstar. Just a good offensive #3D . Nothing wrong with that at all for a late 2nd.

Considering only two defensemen play on the B's PP and the Bruins power play is terrible, that's not saying a lot.

Considering he's earned one of those two spots and is the most productive in it, I think it says a little bit.

I'm fine with a little bit.

He should be the PP1 D. Mc even healthy does not have high level PP IQ. That's Lohei's specialty, use it.
