Boston Bruins Training Camp

[SwayHeyKid]

Anyone have a list of guys that are still in training camp?
Pretty big cut list

About 8 jags that would never be claimed if sent down.

Johnson has the edge due to his versatility and eating PK minutes. He's also better than Lysell at this point.

I don't know where you get your info, but it's not up to date.

Johnson hasn't played a second of PK time for the B's this preseason.

23-24- 3:28 the whole year
22-23 2:27
21-22 2:19
20-21 2:39
19-20 6:55

It's been 6 seasons since Johnson played as many minutes on the pk as Patrick Brown did last year in only 11 games on the Bruins. In fact, Brown played more in 11 games than Johnson did in the last 5 seasons combined.

So um... no he's not eating PK minutes. Try again.

 

[I am Bettman]

He hasn’t played PK in six years.

He also had just 15 even strength points last year. Poitras had 14 in half the games played, Boqvist had 14 as well.

 

[JCRO]

Man, I would’ve understood Merkulov going down but Lysell as well?

At least give him/them one look with the big boys.

 

[Dr Quincy]

I’m sure he woulda been called up but got that nasty injury.
Can’t see a ppg top prospect not getting a look this year at some point

The injury was pretty late during the season, and there were plenty of opportunities to have him play before that.

There were 9 guys who played in Providence and Boston last year.
(in order of games played in BOS)
Beecher
Boqvist
Steen
Brazeau
Brown
Richard
Merkulov
Megna
McLaughlin

Maybe he didn't deserve it then either, which would be a concern.

To send down Lysell w/o having him play with Coyle and March is dumb, dumb, dumb. Some players play better with better players. I'm not saying he would, but this isn't the way to find out. SHL is in his future at this pace.

This organization has had a big problem with letting rooks play.

It's baffling

He also doesn't really play center anymore, has been very bad defensively for a while now, and needs PP time to produce. Super versatile.

I thought it was mentioned earlier that he had very little PK time....and I have searched all over and cant find any stats.....

they did great last year I figured they were turning the corner.

 

[DKH]

Lysell going down lol

 

[Mione134]

That was my thought. I was delighted when they let Poitras stay and then bringing Lohrei up.

But now we're back to the same stuff.

At least let us see Merk and Lysell with the big boys. Doing them an injustice not to.

The player sucks. He's on the Bruins now so he doesn't suck. Still holding out hope they reshuffle again

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Huh? He still sucks.

 

[Cam Em All]

Looks ready to who? Based on two pre-season games? Was he really so good?

How's his board work? Positioning? Defensive play? Line changes?

Just a few questions.

Exactly. He has had some good shifts and showed some high end flash, but he does not look ready. He is only 21, let him ripen on the vine a little longer

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Who has played better, Johnson or Lysell?

Lysell. Johnson is living off his resume, can he back it up we will see.
This is for a few posts down when you run into "one of those", lol I can see into the future.

 

[CDJ]

Johnson over Lysell is a war crime. At least there’s the hope for improvement and upside with one

 

[SwayHeyKid]

Huh? He still sucks.

Yeah you know your stuff and don’t get it twisted with the laundry. I feel people are only saying he’s good because he’s on our team (maybe)

 

[Fingertools]

He also had just 15 even strength points last year. Poitras had 14 in half the games played, Boqvist had 14 as well.

Speaking of Boqvist, I really wanted to keep him for this year, would have been a much better choice than TyJo IMO, not good enough for the Bruins but doing ok (3 goals in the preseason so far) for last year's cup winners.

Yeah I thought he was looking pretty good, at least good enough for Sweeney to re-sign him and not try a Tyler Johnson pto.

Same condescending bullshit from you. Was talking about Lyell and Johnson. Brown has nothing to do with anything.

Stop hijacking threads

You claimed Johnson can eat PK minutes, he told you that Johnson hasn't PKed in years and provided the stats to back it up. That's not condescending, that's just being objectively correct.

 

[Alicat]

Lysell is turning into Ryan Spooner 2.0.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

It's baffling

The Bruins let rooks Poitras, Beecher, Brazeau and Lohrei play last season, Merkulov even played a few games.

Playing rookies isn’t a problem maybe Donny wanted more seasoning for Fabian Lysell.

Lysell isn’t going to get much ice time in Boston anyway, so why not give him loads of ice time in Providence.

And they/we thought it was all Cassidy's fault

 

[Alicat]

He can still PK and between that and his versatility along with the waiver exemption is why Johnson is still here.

I don’t expect him to make the team at this point but the ability to play special teams if need be gives him the edge.
