Boston Bruins Training Camp

[KrugAvoy]

I forgot Patrick Brown is still on this team. Blah

 

[Ozzy Osbourne]

Sweeneys comments about the big guys not playing if they can’t keep up tells me Brazeau will spend a lot of time in Providence.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

About friggin time bruins talk speed. No more Backeseses and JVRs. Speed and tough to play against.

It is. But I'm still not seeing a roster built to play fast hockey. All the will in the world won't get you there on this one. You need the right talent and sheer athletic ability. Would love to be proved wrong though - let's see how they shape up.

Didn't notice speed being an issue with Braz. Moved quite well for his size and better than advertised IMO.

Very disappointed.

Isn’t the first Saturday of camp usually 9-1 type of day at Warrior?

They are scrimmaging in Providence that day

 

[NDiesel]

Didn't notice speed being an issue with Braz. Moved quite well for his size and better than advertised IMO.

Agreed, I was very surprised when I first saw him up here, I think he is "efficient" meaning that he is able to read plays and be in the right spot, so his speed becomes less of a problem. Maybe on the backcheck he's a bit slow, but wingers are generally the high guys defensively anyway.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

“If there are holes … I don’t think so,” Sweeney mused here during the annual rookie tournament that wrapped up Monday with Boston’s kids delivering a 6-4 win over New Jersey’s freshmen. “Not at the stage we’re at.”

LOL, Korpi and Bussi in net and no established 2 RW, but no holes.

I would love to live in Sweeney's world.

I like they left a hole for a young kid to play for.
Think this team will look real slick when Sway signs.
Curious if anyone will pluck Bussi off waivers tho, depending on how he plays

I don’t think anyone will. Can’t see someone keeping him up all season if they don’t use him

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Yup. The fact they slotted him in the playoffs when he was healthy should tell you everything about that.
Big guy with hands. Tucked a breakaway goal.

 

[Kegs]

Brazeaus ability to put the puck under the bar in tight and his uncanny strength and size should keep him on the roster. We will see. He looks like he can score. Small sample size. But his ability to strong arm his way to the middle and put the puck under the bar is something not a lot of guys have.

 

[Ladyfan]

The new arena is so nice BUT I miss when they were in Wilmington. It was SO much easier for me to get to.

 

[sarge88]

Yeah,
I’ve got something in the afternoon.

Was hoping to catch the morning practice.

Hoping his strong game was more than adrenaline

 

[Gordoff]

always an informative chat

took in a few BCHL tilts over the last week, this new kid on the Vic Grizzlies caught my eye on almost every shift, big LW, uses his body well, skates well, has great hands, not at all thinking he`s a first rounder but could be a find in the late 2nd or 3rd

This your guy? Alex Hebblethwaite on Hudl

Should be ready I would think (Duran)

Regula who I like out to start

I agree but I think his fate will be determined by how many (if any) of the kids step up, and if the "heavy" line of Beecher-Kastelic-Jones is actually a thing. If it is and 2 of the kids like Poitras and Lysell crack the roster then Brazeau might be odd man out.

 

[Alicat]

Happy Training Camp!

Will the games be shown on ESPN+ for those of us out of market?

They didn't last year, so I doubt it. But who knows?

So annoying.

The only way Brazeau does not make this team out of camp is if one of Lysell or Merk totally wow the coaches.
I think Jones makes the team on the 4th line and Lysell starts the year on the roster on that line with Beecher at Center.
13th forward is Johnson and 7th dee is Wotherspon

 

[ODAAT]

looks like him, nice player

 

[ODAAT]

looking forward to the reports from our fans here, especially the one`s who`ll exclaim someone a bust after day 1

You appear to have missed Kastellic who will be a regular on the 4th line. I think Brazeau gets stapled to Poitras and probably Frederic on the third line unless they try Frederic on line two RW
