First time I saw Bancroft play in person was with this team.



Less than 7 miles away.

Remember his father being a defenseman and a first-round flop for the Leafs.

He was part of the Bruins organization too. Toronto traded Bancroft to Boston for Rob Cimetta ( another former 1st round flop ) in 1990. Bancroft played 1.5 seasons for Maine before getting traded to Chicago for a pair of late round picks in 1992 and 1993.

Let's hope the kid has more of an impact in Boston then his Dad did.

They do- so many now stay in Jr till 20 before heading off to college. Which, incidnetally, is one of the interesting things about Dean Letourneau being an actual 18-year old freshman.

Shane Vansaghi becomes draft eligible this year and is a few months younger than Letourneau. He had 6G and 10A this year at Michigan St. That said was part of the NTDP but was considered a grinder type.

I am was not using that post to make some sneaky claim about Letourneau's quality as a first rounder, just that he is uncommon as a true freshman in these high profile programs. I am sure he isn't the only one.

This Letourneaus stuff is boring, lets wait and see next season

I think the mass dysfunction/trolling on Twitter is starting to get to Divver hahaha

Divver invites it with his BS.

He’s no better than the “clowns” he’s throwing jabs at. Never used to be like this…but I guess it’s whatever gets him clicks, right?

Divver is so miserable sometimes that I think he's turned it into this schick

I like this cranky Divver. Need to add him to NESN next year.

Only if they let him video call in from his couch

That might be tough. NESN and tech invented after 1997

It looks more like a Lazy Boy from 1988.

Kid looks like a hockey player, that's for sure. Kind of has that "punch me face" which is always welcome.
