I actually thought Lohrei was the best Bruins prospect, by far. Reminds me a fair bit of Hampus. He's got some rough edges to work on, but he's legit. Overall I thought the Bruins kids looked pretty solid against a prospect team that should in theory be one of the best with how MTL has finished lately. Hall in an interesting player. Reminds me of Jason Allison. Total shit skater, sloppy, but tall with good hands and seems to have a knack for reading the play and being in the right spot. Poitras didn't register with you? Any comment on Lohrei's assist to the Hab's EN goal?

That's the Poitras dangle I was talking about. Sweet. That kid has something going for him, as I said, a shame to send him back to junior as I think he's at the AHL level now.

Yes it was a sloppy play. But I'm not blaming that all on Lohrei.

When I play I try to keep momentum FORWARD especially in that empty net situation when time is pretty important. So I would have looked to hit Lysell with a pass once he started gaining momentum up ice. Second reasoning on that is who the forechecker is going to take, if he goes after you - you make the pass, but if he covers Lysell, you keep it and go up ice. I think this is pretty standard stuff. I believe Lysell wasn't expecting the pass at the time, and second it was a horrible pass. How does Lohrei not get all the blame? Dennis Wideman 2.0. Honestly I think we looking at an idiot.

Lysell intentionally circled back for the pass. It wasn't the greatest pass NO. But it was absolutely a catchable, receivable pass. There was a nonchalance on both players.
Usually drop passes, to start a rush, are just that, leave it behind for the player coming up from behind. That's a teachable fix.

OK i'll settle it then, Lysell & Lohrei to the Flamers for Lindholm & Hanifan, sloppy nonchalant passing solved.

You could make a three minute video to Britney's Oops, I did It Again of just Marchand and Pastrnak making shit plays at 6 v 5. It was ill advised. I am not going to start calling him Gigs just yet.

Any comment on Lohrei's assist to the Hab's EN goal? Oh yeah, think a number of the forwards showed lots of potential, Poitras included. But Lohrei displayed a mix of size, skating, puck skills and - most of all - the ability to handle the puck under pressure from multiple players and distribute to his teammates. I really like that last one, as like I said it reminds me of Hampus and when you draw 2 or 3 defenders to you without losing the puck you're creating space for your teammates. Huge asset. Specifically to this game, I don't care about 1 or 2 goofups even if they're bad. This game is meaningless. The players aren't really being coached, or told their limits or what to do in a situation like that. Lohrei had other sloppy plays too. He might be a year away from the NHL to clean that shit up and not push his limits to the point it costs his team, but I definitely see an NHL player, probably at most 1 year away from the Bigs.

Just caught the 2nd period of Bruins-Devils and I don't ever remember a time when I could say this about a period of hockey. Nothing happened. It looked like a tired scrimmage after a hard practice.

What happened to Lysell and Poitras? Do we have that many bodies to shuffle around? Figured they'd be in every game to get ready for the main camp

Harrison is an interesting prospect with that shot. Seems they want to shift him to the wing. Always good to have a guy who can beat a goalie clean like that. Outside of Pasta we don't have much of that on this team --- Zacha maybe but he almost never shoots. Debrusk isn't an outside shooter, but is deadly from in close. I like the idea of Harrison becoming a 30G trigger man if he isn't destined to be an NHL center.

Overall impressions - this crop of rookies, has good speed enabling forechecking, this was true in each of their games.

Is there a difference btw those two things? Well, I guess that "seen all they need to see" is more capacious. On the one hand, you've got Lysell and Poitras who you already know you want to send to the main camp and so give them a bit of a rest and get more of a look at some bubble players. But on the other hand, I see guys playing in the middle who were on the wing for most of camp and vice versa. Beecher's size and speed on the wing could be very interesting higher up the lineup. Merkulov in the middle could provide some interesting shoot-first creativity. That sort of thing where you use this as a chance to try guys in different roles.

I like the idea of Harrison becoming a 30G trigger man if he isn't destined to be an NHL center. From the little bit I've seen, yeah...he's a winger. Or a shoot first C which isn't a bad thing when you can shoot. I think Toffoli is his ceiling, not Pastrnak, but hey...I'd take it.
