Post-Game Talk: PS2 - Washington ( Hershey ) 2 @ BRUINS ( Providence ) 4

Lysell has the speed, but does he have the toolbox...

 

[Gordoff]

WTF was that on Freddy???

 

[Clode]

Brazeau looks quicker. Nice sequence from Merkulov there.

 

[OV]

Poitras does cut backs like Marchand...

 

[bruinsfan1970]

Poitras is looking damn good, love to see him light the lamp.

 

[NeelyDan]

I don’t love how slim Braz looks tbh

 

[Olden McGroin]

I've said before that Poitras is what you get if you mixed Krejci & Marchand into one player. Are we sure Don Sweeney didn't just grow him in a lab from their DNA?

 

[Mione134]

Wilson being an asshole

I wish Jackson Edward was playing because that kids a menace and would have fun with Wilson's dumb ass antics.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

The team has a lot of options this year. Not everyone can play but there will be extra quality players.

 

[lopey]

Happy to see you all in a GDT again

Gummie time!!

 

[Ladyfan]

Evening all. I don't usually watch pre-season games, but I felt compelled to tune in for at least a bit tonight...

...so obviously I had to dip into the GDT too, ...I hope everyone had a great summer!

Hi Lex!

 

[Alicat]

Good luck Bruins! Nasty weather coming in here so I’m not able to watch.

 

[Ladyfan]

Wilson being an asshole

Nothing new. I yelled "goon on the ice"

 

[Aussie Bruin]

I don’t love how slim Braz looks tbh

Have to assume he's looking for a little more agility and speed, but at what cost? If he loses the ability to impose himself physically and around the net, I don't see the point of him - there are other players who can play with more speed and skill no matter how lean he gets. So it's a balancing act. Hopefully the raw strength is still there.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Korpi looks as calm in the crease as Ullmark

 

[Ladyfan]

Tufte is huge

Yes he is!

 

[NeelyDan]

Adam Pellerin seems like the kinda guy to show up on a Dateline episode one day

 

[Bridges31]

Poitras looking good that period.

 

[CellyHard]

Tufte looks good but to clarify for those who maybe haven't been watching it looks like their goalie swatted it in himself...

Not an NHL quality goal. He did put himself in a good shooting position by cutting to the middle of open ice.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Tufte is huge

Not thick though, just tall, he’ll grow into those paws

 

[Ladyfan]

Good luck Bruins! Nasty weather coming in here so I’m not able to watch.

Stay safe

 

[Over the volcano]

Merkulov looks miles ahead of Lysell right now.

 

[CellyHard]

Poitras on the 2nd line RW makes all the sense for the Bruins.

Allows the bottom 6 to be 6 6'3+ bodies and play a true playoff style.

Lysell unless he is NHL ready can develop further in the AHL or be traded. He certainly has speed.

Meh I think he looks so much better as a natural center. He relishes having the puck on his stick. He's like Krejci in that way.

He had one play in the defensive zone where he took the draw and made a great stick lift and exit look easy. I felt like it got him going after.

Someone said a Krejci and Marchand hybrid and it's honestly something I 100% see as well, which was kind of weird.

I think stapling him next to Freddy is going to give him some confidence as well
