Wow, already making it easy to give TJ that contract they probably already promised him.
Isn't he on a line with stiffs tonight?I doubt they promised him anything. Montgomery should not be satisfied with Lysell's performance in the first preseason game. He has to be substantially better than that to see the ice in the regular season, and Monty is giving him another chance tonight.

Play the kid regular season, ten games. See what happens. TJ was brought here to make the team at some point ala Heinen
Lysell is playing with Tufte and Nelson. The Bruins post was alphabetical not set up in lines. So the point is a bit stronger.Well there is not a lot of proven talent in the lineup tonight.
Lysell is playing with Merkulov, who he has a ton of experience playing with(and is offensively gifted) , and McLaughlin who is a solid AHL/NHL tweener guy. I expect he has experience playing with him as well. So this is probably about as comfortable a line as you could possibly put Lysell on. This is an excellent opportunity for him to thrive
Haha ~ thought same

Tufte and Nelson were two of the more effective forwards in Sunday's game.Lysell is playing with Tufte and Nelson. The Bruins post was alphabetical not set up in lines. So the point is a bit stronger.
I hope McLaughlin plays well. He is a completely forgotten player who always acquitted himself well playing in the NHL.Isn't he on a line with stiffs tonight?

He has shown nothing, at any point, that he deserves a 10 game tryout in the regular season. If he continues to play like he did Sunday he will be Providences captain this year. If he rebounds and becomes one of the 13 best forwards I am sure he will make the team. Let's see how the independent contractor plays tonight.Isn't he on a line with stiffs tonight?

I’m surprised he isn’t a fan favourite around here. He is a really well rounded player. He ate the leafs alive in the playoffs last year too. I think he actually has a high trade value.
I like Fredric a lot.
Didn't you say Lysell looked solid last game?
I said he looked solid as in build - he didn’t look tinyDidn't you say Lysell looked solid last game?
Unfortunately for me my assessment he got a C grade was on the HF text group mega threadHe must have looked much better in person Maybe he was doing things so quickly the camera couldn't pick it up
I said he looked solid as in build - he didn’t look tiny
He filled out
His skating is high end
I would still put him behind Poitras on the young asset list but he’s getting there
Solid game tonight from Lysell. Had several shifts where he was a puck hound and went right after it - winning battles, drawing penalties, using teammates, making plays. Took a couple of hard hits but I did see him peel away from some contact - which I'm not upset at seeing from a player like him. I'd rather see someone as slight as him avoid contact when he can as long as he's making the play. He'll figure out what he can and can't get away with once he's off the rookie starting blocks.
so that settles it. You both agree he should avoid contact if possible.Considering he's gotten 2 concussions, 1 last from a cheap shot, I can see why he'd shy away from some hits. He's still working his way back. He's silky smooth. Great hands. I hope he pushes for a spot.
Yes.so that settles it. You both agree he should avoid contact if possible.
