TBH, Bo's line was the 3rd line last game, Kass's line was the 4th and it showed. Bo was charged with going up against the best player in the game and shut him down effectively in the circle and afterwards. Very impressive thing for a Regular NHL'er to do, nevermind a 19 year old rookie.

corsi is merely a comparison of shot attempts, so a quick fleury against your goalie at the beginning of a shift before you get possession, and then a long cycle game in the attacking end with just a single shot attempt would result in a negative corsi for that shift, even though you possessed the puck for the majority of the shift. like you said, there are problems with every stat, especially from a single game sample size, which is why very little should be read into single game advanced stats

so you're saying he'll be in the CHL next season (when he turns 19 this august) but you think he'll be too young for the AHL the year following (when he turns 20 as of august of that year) even though he has to be 20 as of december 31st of that season to be eligible to play in the AHL... Virtanen will not be returned to the WHL for an overage season.

i think he's had at least one before last night...

yeah my opinion of wanting him to stay has only strengthened, not waned.

kesler's rookie year was ho hum: 28GP, 2G, 3A, 5Pts, -2, 16 PIM and he didn't really impress that much.

anyone have the interview?

horvat and kenins look like a match made in heaven. they are really gelling out there.

yup

hmmm, looks like vines work on the board now...

great goal on the 30th, amazing assist last night. he's really rounding into form. i couldn't have gotten my horvat jersey at a better time.

Jake Virtanen ‏@Jake_Virtanen 17h17 hours ago Had a good time delivering some honey combs to the food bank today with @MackShields #payitforward

McNally has had a better season than hutton I'd be more inclined to vote for him, to be honest.

yeah he's not really deserving of it this year.

There are 59 NCAA mens ice hockey teams (similar to the 60 in the CHL), and some divisions are just horrible. he also sits at 14th in Win%

21st in GAA, tied for 15th in SV%, 7th in wins,

here's the embedded version:

Love the fight, but what the heck does that have to do with anything?

you think bo's not the same way? they have pretty much the same demeanor.

Lots of women start planning (or thinking about) their wedding before they even meet their future husband, if you think otherwise you are lying to yourself.

pretty much

only when i ask her to

My wife did that, and we've been married for over 10 years

"Sophomore goaltender Thatcher Demko put on a display with 22 stops, steering away several pucks through traffic including a penalty shot." http://www.bceagles.com/sports/m-hockey/recaps/012115aaa.html They won 2-1.
