Jake is coming into his own continuing to build on his very good first year as a pro. He has gotten better as the season has gone along.

McInytre appeared to put in a good performance stopping 31 shots. He in my mind is the key to the Bruins PO chances.

The funky AHL first round series has the lower seed starting at home. It's a must to win at home before heading to WBS for the final 3 games. B's have the jump they needed and the opportunity to build on it on Sunday afternoon in game 2. Start time is the same as the big clubs game 6.

Good video but the biggest ******** came with 3 seconds left and one of the Bruins got cheapshotted in the back of the head along the boards. Kostblow gets escorted off the ice by the linesman and Sestito jumps right off the bench and on the ice which should have been an automatic misconduct. Instead he's allowed to jaw at the ref and then the Bruins bench. He won't fight Randall because he'll be spitting teeth. Donatelli the coach is a giant whiny dirtbag. Hate that team, a total classless group just like the parent club.

I've only watched a couple Providence games in the last two weeks so I haven't seen much of Debrusk. Does he have a realistic shot at making the Bruins next year? How much offensive upside does he have? Just looking at stats he looks like a good playmaker too.

As us New Englanders see the seasons change next year will likely be a transforming year for him parts AHL & NHL with full time top 9 spot the following year

He's a quick learner and hard worker by accounts

Like this player

Like the odd combination of a high volume shot guy who makes plays and sees the ice in way an average player doesn't

He's a Bruins to me

I noticed he was fast and always around the puck. Hope he makes the team next year because we could use some talent on LW behind Marchand.

In terms of his shot at making the team next year. A lot depends on what Donnie decides to do next year. Does he​ trade a bunch of his guys to bring in a so called stud from outside the organization

That's true, but I'd like to see them go after a legit RW to shore up the top 6 if they think Debrusk can step in next year. Senyshyn still needs time in Providence. It'll be an interesting off season.

He has really grown on me as the season has progressed. Honestly, i think his chances in the big club are dependant of what happens in the off-season, but I think a strong playoff performance with Providence might have management penciling him in for next year.

I do not see Stafford signing with Boston in the off-season, and would be very surprised if Hayes and Spooner are still around after their playoff banishment.At this point I am going to trust management to develop the kids. They seem to be doing that right.

Guys like Moore and Nash will probably also be gone, replaced by Kuraly, Acciari. Really hope Beleskey is gone too. Hopefully Debrusk can play well with Krejci, we need an improved 2nd line.

Nash is signed for another season. I'd say there is a good chance Acciari and Nash make up 2/3 of the 4th line. Competition will be for the open wing spot. One would assume Kuraly has the inside track to get it though. Blidh should be a factor as well as potential signings or an ATO.

I wouldn't close the door on Moore leaving either.

Great game by MacIntyre last night, very calm all night long.

W-B play the same way every year in the playoffs, hopefully Providence can balance keeping their cool and still standing up for themselves as the series goes on.

Kuraly would be right at home in this series but he's moved on to much bigger things!

Lauzon, Senyshyn and Gabrielle all listed on PRO roster. Yet none played in the game Thursday. Dean having them practice a few days before inserting them into the lineup?

That'd be a little crazy for him to throw them into the lineup without at least giving them a practice with the team. He may not have any intentions to use them unless injuries.

lauzon has a minor injury, LBI, don't think it'll keep him out too long. but with regards to them joining the lineup, wouldn't shock me if they didn't play right away or at all. especially up front, where they have an abundance of bodies (including kuraly and acciari, who will end up there at some point).

Here's hoping it's a long time before Sean and Noel lace 'me up for the Baby Bs.

In the Regular Season, Dean had them practice and watch a game before they were inserted in lineup.

He did that with Fitzgerald, McAcoy and the Swedish defensemen who's name is escaping me.

Tough for Providence. If you don't know Koharski is like getting Kerry Fraser in Montreal.

Isn't WBS kind of the goon team in the equation though? That's not usually Montreal, except this year, ans that worked out real well for them.
