  1. I wouldn't fault him too much, it sounds like the Eagles are getting badly outplayed in the third. They seemed to just quit after it was 4-1.
  2. Demko having a very human night. He allows 2 goals in under 2 minutes after his team made it 4-1. Hopefully he can secure the W.
  3. Boeser with a goal and an assist already only 4 minutes into the game.
  4. Yes, unless it's an emergency recall.
  5. Tryamkin with a goal and an assist today in a 5-2 win. His first multi point game this season.
  6. DeNiro

    Anton Rodin | RW/LW

    So if he has an out in his contract he could come over and play this season right?
  7. Yea you're right. The site hadn't added his goal from today yet. Even better!
  8. That rush by Virtanen in todays game is what they should be encouraging him to do more of. When he winds up with that kind of speed he's dangerous.
  9. Fans always forget about college players unless they're high profile like Boeser and Demko. CHL players always get way more coverage and hype.
  10. Gaudette with his third goal of the season today shorthanded. His stats are starting to look alot better. He now has 5 PTS (3G, 2A) in 8GP. He's also playing on a team that has won only 1 game and has the second worst goals for in the conference.
  11. Gaunce having himself a 3 point game so far. Time to call him up Jim.
  12. The Eagles are one of the best teams in NCAA and often control the play. That being said you can't discredit what Demko has done. Part of the team being so confident is knowing they have Demko back there. Even if he only has to face 25 shots a night, he still has to make the saves. The Eagles comentators are constantly pumping his tires too.
  13. Make that 5 shutouts in 6 games! Quite the feat.
  14. Yea picks or prospects are good. Both are building blocks for the future. The 2016 draft should be all about D-men. If we could get a couple extra 1sts, a 2nd, and a solid D prospect at the trade deadline, we'll be in good shape. Look at what LA gave up for Sekera. McKeown and a 1st round pick. If we can get that for Hamhuis or Vrbata we should take it and run. We have a chance to add 3 or 4 high end D prospects in next years draft. Gotta take full advantage of that.
  15. What attitude are you referring too? I've never gotten the impression that he's cocky or loud.
  16. Willie doesn't have a choice. It's up to Benning and Linden. This team is building for the future. Passing up on extra picks in the draft to keep players you plan to let go is about the worst strategy this team can have now. It's not worth maybe winning one round in the playoffs.
  17. Gibson is probably the best goalie not playing in the NHL right now. His career definitely still looks very bright. Campbell on the other hand was likely taken way too high because Dallas was desperate for a goalie prospect. Especially when you consider that Fowler, Schwartz, and Tarasenko were taken right after. And Pickard who was a goalie taken in the 2nd round is just as good. He might be one of those guys who doesn't make until he's around 26. Demko seems to be steadily improving. We'll see how he handles the AHL though. Goalies are very hard to project at this age. Either he transitions seamlessly to the AHL like Gibson, or struggles a bit like Campbell and takes longer to develop.
  18. After the deadline I hope to see: Sedin Sedin Burrows Baertschi Sutter Virtanen Shinkaruk Horvat Hansen Gaunce McCann Dorsett Hutton Tanev Edler Bartkowski Sbisa Pedan Trade Vrbata and Hamhuis for 1sts Trade Higgins and Prust for a 2nd and a 3rd I hope they've learned their lesson about hanging onto expiring UFA contracts. It does this team no good to pass up long term gain for short term playoff success.
  19. I think 3 years is ideal for a high end prospect. Usually by their third year they're dominating that level and have gained about all they can. I think for him winning a championship would be the pinnacle.
  20. Archibald's goal in his first game back with the Comets. Decent mitts for a big man.
  21. Sautner's first pro goal. Got love the celebration with Shinkaruk!
  22. At this point Boeser and Jasek are the only likely bets. From the sounds of it Benning doesn't have any interest in sending McCann or Virtanen. Zhukenov wasn't invited to Russia's camp or to the Canada-Russia challenge. I would be surprised if he goes. And there are much higher profile D-men than Neill and Brisebois unfortunately.
  23. If he has a standout season one of the top teams in the Q could make them an offer for him. You never know.
  24. If he played for the Knights something tells me he would have gone higher in the draft and we wouldn't have got him. He would have been playing with Domi and Marner meaning more points. And Hunter would have helped him develop a solid 200 ft game. So a 200 ft player who plays fast and physical and has the points to go with it? I don't see how he wouldn't go top 3.
  25. Alex Edler? Jiri Slegr? Kevin Bieksa?
