It’s weird how hockey has changed. Drafting a 5’9” or 5’10” forward or D was almost unheard of back in the day but this size player is in every NHL lineup these days. Goaltending has gone the other way, it’s very rare to find a starting goalie on any team that’s 6’ or below. The guy in Nashville ? is an exception plus maybe 1 or 2 more. The butterfly style is the go to for almost all goalies but if you’re less than 6’2” there tends to be more room just above the shoulders and under the crossbar that skilled players can snipe on. I hope Dipietro can make the jump but I think most scouts would put their money on Bussi just because he’s 6’4”. Very unfair but I think that’s where we are these days. Never forget Reid Dyck playing in the CHL..He's a big goaltender also at 6'4'' and even though his stats are not off the charts, that should be excuseable because he faces alot of shots on most nights..He just returned from injury but he could have a very bright future..Seabass has all player stats above.. I will be seeing Reid Dyck play Sunday. I'll let you know what I think brother!

The trouble for Reid might be that he is playing the Saskatoon Blades who are currently the #1 team in the WHL and are also #1 on the latest CHL Power Rankings. Should be a good one! Hope Reid doesn't get totally lit up! Earlier on in the year it seemed that the busier he was, the better he played so that's kind of what I'm hoping for!

Well at least he got a game in after his injury and although he wasnt at his best, according to Dom Triano he still made some unbelievable stops..I'm hoping thats sorta your report come monday..Thanks buddie..

Bruins win 6-3..Farinacci with 2 goals, Lysell with 4 assists and Merkulov with 3 assists..Word out of Providence is Lysell is showing great improvement in his overall game especially in his own end, none of this 1 on 4 anymore which is a good thing and hopefuly a learning process thats in the rearview window..The kid needs a look at the nhl soon and PLEASE dont do what you did with Merkulov..Play him 15 mins on 3rd line and he did play pretty good for his 1st game, wrapping one off the post, after that was 4th line duties and 8 mins a night..Fucksake what a waste.. theahl.com/stats/game-center/1025794

When Bruins made the trade with Hawks for Hall, we got Mitchell and Regula in return both minimun nhl experience..BUT Regula is 6'4' 220 defenseman who's leading the AHL with a +/- of +26..Now while Mitchell played a few games with the Bruins, Regula has yet to play a game..The 23 year old [yes only 23] has played in total 22 nhl game registering one goal..He was a 3rd rd pick by Wings,67th overall in 2018.. This isnt a post saying we need to rush this kid up to the Bruins BUT maybe he's worth another contract next season, 2-way for certain..In 39 games with Prov he only has 22 pim so not sure how physical he plays but he's a big body and maybe better than Mitchell..Sure would be nice to see something from that trade..Another Prov Dman Dan Renouf is 2nd on Bruins with a +21 but he has more PIM with 45. theahl.com/stats/player-stats/309/81?playertype=skater&rookie=no&sort=plus_minus&statstype=standard&page=1&league=4&position=skaters

Providence wemt 3-0 on the weekend and are 8-1-1- past 10, good for 2nd in Division...
Ian Mitchell had a goal and 2 assists, Lohrei had 3 assists..
Anthony Richard 2nd on team in scoring really tearing up the league of late, he had 37 goals last season and played 12 games with Habs scoring 5 goals..Maybe a call up if Sweeney can find a little more loose change kicking around..
6'5'' 220lb Justin Brazeau for the 3rd straight season in Prov is having yet another good offensive year..
Once Boqvist got settled in, he's proven he can play on 3rd line after spending 3 months in Prov..They should pluck a player out of Providence every week until they find one who'll eventually stick with the team..I think Richard could turn some heads or maybe Brazeau but you never know until they get that call up..There's ALOT of players down there having great seasons,,What a shame if they never get that chance while with the Bruins..Bruins 3rd line last night was terrible, I wouold send Steen down and call up a different player, maybe Lysell even..Pff dream on!!

Providence Bruins win their 6th straight game beating Charlotte 4-2..Justin Brazeau all 6'5'' 245lb of him scored his 17th goal and is 4th in league in +/-..Alec Regula lead entire league with a +28 yet neither has been called up to the nhl..This is Brazeau's 3rd season in Prov after playing with the Marlies and Newfoundland Growlers of the ECHL..FFS call the kid up and let him fulfill his dreams if nothing else..Him along with Regula and a few more players to boot, get a new face up here, they put in the work but almost seems like no one notices or gives a crap.. theahl.com/stats/game-center/1025834

I never thought about the politics of Grz being a local boy and his dad being a part of the “bull gang” or whatever that is but he really shouldn’t be our full time option with the big club. I get that there’s probably not a trading partner for him but sending him down should be an option. I’d like to see Regular and I’d also like to see more of Wortherspon. Maybe Mr. Jacobs doesn’t want to see the local sent down or want to be paying his salary while he’s in Providence.🤷♂️
Regula seamlessly autocorrects to regular without me even noticing 😂

Maybe we should see if there’s interest out there for JVR, Heinen and obviously Debrusk and if so collect assets and call up Merkulov, Lysell and whoever we need in.
