  1. No points for Jake tonight but the Hitmen snapped their losing streak with a 4-1 win over the Blades. Virtanen had 4 PIMS. 1 - CAL J. Virtanen, 4:40 - High Sticking, 2 min (PP) 2 - CAL J. Virtanen, 19:24 - Unsportsmanlike Cnd., 2 min
  2. I'm thinking the same thing. As long as he is responsible defensively and doesn't get absolutely smoked in the dot, I think that's a pretty good first-NHL-game.
  3. Looks like Demko lost a game recently as his record has been updated to 4-2. That being said, his GAA and SV% improved to 1.98 and 0.929 respectively.
  4. Congrats to Bo Horvat on making his NHL debut tonight! I've wanted to share these videos for a while (though I'm sure some of you have already seen them) and thought his NHL debut would be a good time to share it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0d7fqBMOJs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwobsSFEHYc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgqLK9e8M54
  5. Under 10 for sure. It's going to be a 4-game road trip with a visit through California. If they plan to play him through all 4 games, I'd expect him to be kept sub-10. I guess it also depends on how the team is doing during the game.
  6. He is also a penalty killer so the coaches (both this year's and last year's) feel that he can be counted on while shorthanded. So he can be used on the powerplay, the penalty kill, and can play -- like his even strength goals last year suggest -- quite well at 5-on-5.
  7. Virtanen with an assist but the Hitmen lose 2-1 to the Warriors. On a 4-game losing streak. Had a two-on-one chance in the third but the opposing goaltender made the big save.
  8. Just saw this post from DownUndaCanuck in the Cassels thread: ?
  9. Maybe if I feel like it. EDIT: Maybe I'll update shots too! Calgary Hitmen @WHLHitmen PING! Jake Virtanen beats Sawchenko, but not the post as he dings one off the iron.
  10. It's a game update. He was on the ice and a goal was scored.
  11. HockeyDB says that Demko has 1 PIM. How do you get one penalty minute...?
  12. Nylander has always been considered a good player, but you keep bringing up his post-draft statistics like everyone pre-draft should have known he'd do this well. Who was supposed to know that he would improve from 0.32 PPG to 1.38 PPG? EDIT: On a Jake Virtanen note, he was on the ice for a SH goal against. 1-0 for Moose Jaw early in the game.
  13. He's listed as a C/RW in most places and the SHL simply lists him as a "forward". I was under the impression that he plays mostly as a winger.
  14. Virtanen is a natural left winger. You sure know a lot about the guy, eh?
  15. Reinhart is from Vancouver. He should have been ranked 6th too, I guess. FWIW, NHL Central Scouting had Virtanen 6th among NA skaters, TSN had him ranked 7th, ISS had him 10th, THN had him 11th, and he went 12th in a HF mock draft.
  16. Both are from Ontario. I think he's got a point, you guys.
  17. So when is hockeydb going to get around to updating the Canucks players' headshots?

    1. Warhippy

      Warhippy

      Well if you listen to TSN and the Hockey forums according to Habs fans Burrows already updated this years head shot :P

  18. The last time I went to a Canadiens v Canucks game, an own-goal was scored. On the PP.

  19. Well, here are their respective junior stats ("so far" for Horvat). I've bolded their draft years. Matthias 16 yrs - 1G , 1A (2 PTS) in 37 GP 0.05 PPG 17 yrs - 13G, 21A (34 PTS) in 67 GP 0.51 PPG 18 yrs - 38G, 35A (73 PTS) in 64 GP 1.14 PPG 19 yrs - 32G, 47A (79 PTS) in 53 GP 1.49 PPG Horvat 16 yrs - 11G , 19A (30 PTS) in 64 GP 0.47 PPG 17 yrs - 33G, 28A (61 PTS) in 67 GP 0.91 PPG 18 yrs - 30G, 44A (74 PTS) in 54 GP 1.37 PPG Bergeron 17 yrs - 23G, 50A (73 PTS) in 70 GP 1.04 PPG As far as draft year points are concerned, Horvat had production closer to Bergeron. Matthias' PPG got "closer" in his draft +1 year but was still quite a bit lower, and he played with a guy who put up 129 points. Horvat spent his +1 year playing with the Rupert twins (both put up fewer points than Horvat). We'll have to see how things turn out with Horvat this year, but I think that saying he had a Matthias-like junior career right now is pretty inaccurate given the circumstances. That being said, Bergeron made the Bruins team right away so we'll never know how he would have done with another year of junior.
  20. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6cbWxxc-Qw These are his 2 goals from the game against the Tigers.
  21. I don't think he would have come back to play that game and the game the next day if he re-injured himself. I'd like to think that the Hitmen would be very, very careful with one of their best players coming back from a big injury.
  22. I know ExtraSkater used to track junior players too, but the site got shut down after the guy running the site got hired by the Leafs. I think it was the Leafs, anyways. So I don't know if anyone is tracking that stuff anymore.
