Anybody else think about this video and giggle a bit when they read this thread’s title?

(Rumour) Ken Holland to Edmonton?

Hopefully the 67’s sweep. Best thing they could do is take away any option of Mikey coming back for games 5,6 or 7. Finish the playoffs a perfect 16-0 and give DiPietro lots of time to heal up for the Memorial Cup.

Tough to watch but here’s video from when DiPietro gets injured:

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME replied to Tomato Pajamas's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
I’m excited to see what he can do in an expanded role next season. You know he’s gonna be training like a beast this summer. Should be fun to watch him (hopefully) take the next step and make the most of this opportunity.- 3,880 replies

Official word is DiPietro will not return for the remainder of the game. They’re calling it lower body injury and not giving any details on the severity. Tough break (no pun intended, fingers crossed) for the 67’s. Lucky for Ottawa they have a quality young goaltender in Cedrick Andree. He’s not your typical “backup” as he was Ottawa’s starter all year, until Dipietro was acquired, and is more than capable of stepping in. Hopefully the injury isn’t as bad as it looked and DiPietro isn’t done for the playoffs.

Make the streak 13-0. Ottawa wins 7-2. DiPietro saves 37/39 and named game’s second star.

[Signing] Rangers sign Adam Fox
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Well no surprise here. This result was so predictable and telegraphed that a month ago I was posting in the Rathbone thread as if Fox had already left Harvard and signed with the Rags (a couple helpful posters had to remind me that Fox was still Carolina property at the time and had a year left of college eligibility). For some reason, my brain had basically processed Fox to NYR as a done deal several weeks before the trade and signing actually happened. Finally, reality has caught up. -
Mikey doing what he’s done all playoffs. Perfect 10/10 saves in the first period tonight. Ottawa leads 2-0 after 20 minutes (and they could’ve been leading by 4 or 5). “If he sees it, he stops it.” This kid has been so dialed in for first periods. I dunno what his stats are now, but probably around 0.970 sv% in first periods for the playoffs. Give a team like Ottawa the chance to grab the lead most games, and they are gonna win. Tough to come back against a team with that much firepower up front, and backed up by a brick wall in net. Still 40 minutes to play, and not gonna get too ahead of myself here. Guelph are a tough opponent and they’re certainly capable of breaking the 67s’ winning streak. But so far, looks like Mikey and the boys are just gonna keep on rolling. Also, here’s a nice feature on DiPietro from The Score: https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1763498/amp?__twitter_impression=true

Maybe questionable judgment, but I don’t think he really hurt his team. That game was pretty much decided at that point with Niagara down 6-3, three minutes remaining in regulation, and the Ice Dogs heading to the PK for the remainder (Robertson was getting 5 and a game for the hit on Neumann). Brassard had been playing a really effective agitator role all playoffs. He’d thrown a lot of guys off their games and goaded them into retaliations and penalties. And somehow he managed to sneak in all his nasty work while only putting his team short handed for 4 minutes for the entire playoffs (no small feat considering all the shenanigans he’d gotten up to). No reason for him to stop doing what he was doing. The boos he was drawing from opponent fans all playoffs spoke to how effective he’d been in his role. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to throw a punch in that moment (especially one that ended up clocking the trainer by accident). But Neumann was giving as good as he got, chirping pretty hard, and clearly wasn’t really all that hurt. Gamesmanship on both sides. And at the time, it really looked a lot like a dive (although the second angle showed it was a really dangerous hit by Robertson and deserving of the match penalty and suspension). But Neumann was clearly ready and willing for a confrontation, and really no reason for Brassard not to indulge him (and then even try to draw a penalty when he got Neumann to drop his gloves). Rat move, for sure, but that’s the role Brassard was playing (and he’d helped his team much more than he hurt them with such antics in previous games). What really hurt Niagara was Kyle Keyser posting a 0.940 save percentage for the Generals. That combined with Dhillon only managing a 0.886 sv% for the Ice Dogs. Lose the goaltending battle by that wide a margin, and it’s nearly impossible to win a playoff series.

That’s my feeling as well. Especially if Fox signs with NYR and Rathbone get to play all of 2019-20 in the prime role that would open up at Harvard. I think a big season next year would set Jack up for signing in spring 2020 (depending on deep Harvard goes in the tournaments).- 3,880 replies

No adjustments needed. Rafferty’s contract was $832,500 annual salary and $92,500 signing bonus. It’s just that he was only here for four days, so he received the full $92,500 signing bonus, but only 4/186 of his annual salary (so only $17,903 out of the $832,500). The “cap hit” of $5,133,750 is just an imaginary number that doesn’t really mean much. His actual cap amount, relative to the (annual) upper limit, was quite small, as it was only charged for those four days. Put another way, Rafferty’s impact on the team annual cap limit was $5,133,750 x 4/186 or $110,403 of annual cap space charged against the $79,500,000 upper limit (salary cap). Basically, a negligible amount, in terms of actual operations relative to the cap. Had Rafferty been signed for only the last day of the season, to an identical contract to the one he received, his “cap hit” would have been listed at over $18 million, but his actual impact on the team’s annual cap figure would be only $96,976.

A little surprised Clark didn’t get a longer contract than that. But maybe they just wanted to see how he meshed with the current goalies and also into the coaching and management structure? Can’t see any reason why they wouldn’t extend him now, based on the results he’s already gotten out of our goalies. EDIT: or did you mean Marky? He needs extension before end of 2019-20.

Say what you will about Botchford, but the article on Markstrom and Clark he just dropped on The Athletic is some of the best work you’ll ever see from a hockey journalist in this market: https://theathletic.com/940853/2019/04/24/how-ian-clark-reinvented-jacob-markstrom-and-why-people-believe-its-sustainable/ Was gonna quote an excerpt, but can’t pick just one. Too many good quotes. I think I’m gonna just stick the whole thing inside a spoiler for people to read.

2019 NHL Entry Draft in Vancouver, BC
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME replied to Qwags's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
I’m really enjoying Will Scouch’s new “Scouching Report” series. The first one is on Newhook and is a solid vid. Does a good job IMO in breaking down Newhook’s strengths and areas for improvement. Scouch talks about Newhook’s skating as elite and one of his greatest strengths: Scouch has done 5 vids so far, on Newhook, York, Dorofeyev, Brink, and Jones, and they’re all worth a view. The Brink one is worth checking out just for the “Body Break”/“Bobby Brink” intro. -
Definitely a factor. I don’t think you go 12-0 unless it’s a stacked team. But the one thing Mikey has done really well all playoffs is absolutely lock down the first period. Through 10 games, his GAA in the first period was 0.75 and he had a first period Sv% of 0.969. Last two games, I believe he’s been perfect in the first period with zero goals against. So he’s only improved those first period stats. Those are the kinds of starts that give skaters confidence and let them get to work creating offence. And Ottawa has definitely given DiPietro quality “run support.” But he’s given them really strong starts, rarely giving up an early goal or letting an opponent score first. Which allows them to take control early and hold it most games for the full 60, even if Mikey lets a few goals in late, when they’re firmly in the lead. And In the really close games, he’s been pretty damn stingy (and often awarded one of the game’s 3 stars). Plus, the two times he’s had to go to OT, he’s been perfect. Most games, he sets the tone with some really great saves early, giving his team a lift, and settling down any nerves. And then they reward him up by going down to the other end and filling the opposition net, giving him a healthy lead to work with, and he helps guide them home with the win. He may give up some goals in the middle and later frames, but rarely does he give up the lead when it’s handed to him. TLDR: When Ottawa really needs a big save, DiPietro has been a brick wall all playoffs.

I’m a huge fan of Krueger. I’ve suggested his name several times in the past. Would absolutely love to see him become the next Canucks president. He’d be top of my wish list, if and when the Aquilinis decide to fill that position. I know they like him, and have courted him in the past, but Linden was in place at the time, so the position Krueger actually wants (president) wasn’t available.

Psych major IIRC.

Speed. Agility. Power. I’m a big fan of Lind adding these things.

It really was a good rookie season for Jasek. I think his offensive stats when he came over for that stint late last season set expectations a bit high for this year (at least when it comes to projecting raw points). But considering how he was deployed this season, that’s some really solid production for a rookie AHLer. Jasek played a lot of his games in the bottom six, and not always with the most offensively gifted line mates. He also moved around a lot, playing all three forward positions, up and down the lineup, and with a rotating cast of line mates. The one consistent thing was his effort each night and his willingness to try to make the best of whatever situation he found himself in. Probably helps that Jasek has been through a lot in his young career, especially some of the dark times in the Czech leagues when he was languishing in Trinec. So I doubt much fazed him, when it came to his ice time, role, opportunities, instruction, lessons, and just being expected to “earn it.” Jasek seems like a guy who’s just happy to be getting a chance, and willing to work for everything he’s gets.
