Any of 3 different flavors.

Which is why teams hold the rights to NCAA players for 4 years rather than just 2. CHL players that were drafted at 18 & don't sign w/in 2 years go back into the draft & if somebody selects them, their rights are held for 2 more years by the team that selects them as a 20 yo. The team that held a player's rights at 18 can redraft him if they want & he's still available at their selection. Nobody can be "locked up" for more than 4 years,

Because NHL teams only hold CHL players' rights for 2 years. If they don't sign after their 1st post draft year, there is a real possibility they'll lose their rights to sign that player if he's any good.

PS - to the robe thing, that's why Gretzky started tucking his sweater into his pants. 😉 Since he was always way smaller than the rest of his team, his sweater was always a dress on him growing up & he'd catch his stick into it when stickandling, so he tucked it in to keep from having that issue.

Like the old bumpersticker said: Jesus saves! Gretzky gets the rebound. He shoots, he scores! 😉

And Peterka had a very nice shift at both ends of the ice just before Laval went on the PP. Nearly gave up a goal at the beginning of it because the D-man panicked and turned it over, but JJ was solid at both ends.

They looked like crud in Games 1 & 4 last round, but were the better team the other 3. Hopefully UPL can play tomorrow.

At least you tried. 😉

Amerk PP coming up. Woody, you know what you need to do. 😉

Maybe you can duck out towards the end of this period too to change the mojo back?

And yet, not a single beret?

Some of us might say thesame thing about Ra-cha-cha's goalie. 😉

He was the 3F and charged directly at the man breaking out rather than coming at an angle which caused him to face plant. He then was doing his best "broken controller Ovechkin" drift back into the zone.

And Peterka's play on the Laval 2nd goal is an example of how he still has room for improvement before getting "penned" in for the Sabres.

You'd better not miss anymore actual game play!

Only 4? Which 3 didn't you think were solid enough? 😉

Play under review. Goal judge turned on the light; ref said no. Goa judge correct. 1-1.

Malone w/ the primary. Murray the 2ndary.

Peterka! Seal broken. 1-0. Great outlet pass.

They just have to stay even keeled. They're not giving Laval much time or space. So, just keep doing what they're doing & don't press. They're outshooting them 13-4. Keep playing like this & Primeau will become beatable.

Krebs just got robbed on a wraparound by the D-man. If this was next year, he's probably strong enough to win that battle.

Nice D by Schuldt (no, really!) to break up a partial 2 on 1.

Primeau saving the Rocket's bacon so far. After the PP, Amerks are outshooting them 9-3 and there have been several quality chances.

Nice effort by Jankowski chasing a puck down behind the Laval net drawing an I temperance call. Amerk PP.

So, maybe when Quinn isn't getting shadowed everywhere on the ice he can still be noticeable. Good for him.
