Ducks played the Caps last night + some travel. Sabres make a game of it and UPL squeaks out a 4-3 win. Dahlin with 2 points.

We know the result with Dell, put in the kid.

Vancouver’s prospect pipeline is thin, Benning leaves a mess for the next guy.

Mike Bales becomes the Malcolm Whisperer and gets him to perform at the Craig Anderson level.

Milquetoast Windbags

25 would look good on him, channel some Chris Pronger.

I’d like to see Quinn claim it because I visualize 22 being HOF RW Mike Bossy.

You’re not wrong, this team has been badly run for years. You’re also a glass half empty guy who may never be happy without a Cup.

We CAN have nice things.

Easy to say now but I wasn’t interested in Clarke last year. His only action was at the U18 and he didn’t stand out. I didn’t like that he always was beaver tailing his stick, demanding the puck. I found it annoying because they were all good players, why should he have the puck?

Interesting numbers. He was involved in 33.3% of Kingston’s goals in 2019-20. He also led them in scoring. He was 15. You would think he should be dominating the OHL this year.

I am surprised by Wright’s numbers. I have watched one of his games and he didn’t stand out. If he continues this play someone else could go #1.

Hopefully Rip didn’t take him to the train station.

Yeah, his name is being thrown around in the media. He’s GM in the ECHL, that would be quite the promotion. The Montreal fans and media are crying for a French speaking GM, really limits your search.

And I’m spent….

A Pairaguys walk into a bar and order some Mexican tequila. They must be brothers because they have the same Suriname.

Chile reception, Uraguy that demands hard facts.

Jankowski has the potential to be a solid 4C, battling it out with Eakin when Mitts returns.

Not saying Levi’s ready but Spencer Knight was his opponent in that WJHC and is now in the NHL. Knight’s pedigree was higher and he is fast tracking for a goalie. Carter Hart came up young as well but has had a lot of bumps on his road. I think Levi turns pro at the end of this year. He will need to be challenged at the next level in order to keep developing. The goalie position is so much more about mental balance, focus and confidence. This guy’s chart has been on a steep climb and I see him building a great resume to keep advancing.

Not sure about first round, most goalies are later picks. Drew Commesso was taken in the second round in 2020 and Levi’s stats are much better than his.

His stats are similar to his only junior season. 34 W 2 L 1 T. 1.47 GAA and .941 Sv%. It was a tier 2 Junior league but he was MVP as a 17 year old rookie.

My stash is down from gifting jars to friends and family. I can replenish in 3-4 months when my maples start giving sap. Great time of year.

Bloom scores his 5th shorthanded goal, 13th overall to win the game for Saginaw.

Fans of the losing team will be near bottom after this game. Let’s go Buffalo!

If Power is not injured he is a lock for Canada.
