Bruins' top prospect does his best Tony DeAngelo impression
Not the comparison a Boston fan would like to hear right now, but one of the Bruin's top prospects did his best Tony DeAngelo impression last night during the Western Hockey League (WHL) playoffs.
19-year-old Fabian Lysell has been on an absolute tear in the postseason with the Vancouver Giants of the WHL. Lysell has carried the underdog Giants to game five of the second round so far. The team does face elimination tonight, though.
The Giants had their goaltender pulled, down 3-2 in the dying seconds of game four against the Kamloops Blazers. As Lysell was carrying the puck, he went to cut back the other way and fell and gave the puck up for a clear breakaway for an opposing player. Then came Lysell's impression of the Bruins' newest foe, Tony DeAngelo, as he launched his stick at the puck carrier in a fit of rage.
Here's the video of the play:
According to some scouting reports, Lysell has had a problem with being a bit of a "hothead." Hopefully, something he can fix as he matures a bit more. Lysell was given a two-minute minor and 10-minute misconduct for throwing the incident, and as you could see, things got rough afterwards.
The young Swede still finished the game with two assists in the 4-2 loss. Lysell is tied for the WHL league for playoff points. He currently has 4 goals and 15 assists for 19 points in 10 games played.
