johngould21 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I've always wondered why this kid has never gotten a sniff at the NHL level. I thought he played a pretty good, safe game last night. He wasn't noticeable, and that's a complement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid has been in our system for many years, glad to see him get NHL pay for a game or two, and glad to see that he helped us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curmudgeon Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I, too, have always wondered why Brisebois never got a legitimate look in the NHL. He's been a good pro and has raised the level of his game every year. Maybe some oher team might take an interest in him and give him a shot to play regular minutes. As the philosopher Ringo once sang, you gotta pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues, and you know it don't come easy. Brisebois has paid his dues, so let him sing.

Kuzy Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I thought he looked fine and dependable the other night. Nice crisp passes, good positioning. Also has good size and speed. Why are we paying big $ for bottom pair defencemen again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays a steady, stay-at-home game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Cathode Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 A better question would be why are we paying 8 mil a year for OEL - for 8 mil you don’t expect a barely average player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL started out fine but hasn't looked good in the last two games. He was much better then "barely average" last year. Him and Myers faced the toughest competition and were one of the best 5 vs 5 D pairings in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really has not played in very many games in the last 3-4 years, injuries slowed his development down a bit. I agree though, last game he was moving really well and was very smooth on the ice. Maybe things will start to go his way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I know from watching him a lot, he wasn't aggressive enough when he was younger but he has really improved in that area as he has gotten older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with that and in addition he never seems to advance the play. He's certainly steady but physicality and offence seems to be holding him back. Saying that he looked good in that last game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 When GB wants to carry the puck, he does have an extra gear. Another solid outing for him. Saying all that, how is it that this entire D ends up in a fire drill at least 5 or 6 times per game? Just painful to watch. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
