Forgot Emmerton…?

Hronek was not drafted out of the OHL, he went there after being drafted

Ok, Drafted 24 skaters ‘who played’ in the OHL.

And yes I did forget Emmerton even played in NHL. Never would have guessed he played 100+ games. I still accounted for him in the 24 skaters.

So....you're saying Lombardi will be playing in Europe in 3-4 years?

That 2nd in his team makes me worry about him

 

[heyfolks]

I hear his intro song now...

 

[FireBird71]

Without Amadeus, Flint Firebirds would be bottom feeders this season,
singlehandedly piggybacked them to the play-offs.

Hayes and his 41 goals says hello

 

[jaster]

What a season, and what growth from one season to the next.

Isn't Vierling an outfielder for the Tigers? What kind of league is Lombardi playing in??

Hayes and his 41 goals says hello

Lombardi puck feeding him goals all seasong long. Also saying hello

 

[lilidk]

I don't see Lombardi playing today, are they just resting him before playoffs?

Season ticket holder…not quite

Resting the Top players…meaningless game

 

[Filppula]

Happy with the stats symmetry though!

 

[ChadS]

Nice goal last night.

 

[Henkka]

That opposite #22 defended like me at hockey.

 

[better Red than Dead]

Side note: the “Rock me Amadeus” schtick is getting old and unoriginal and he isn’t even pro yet.

I mentioned he's got a shot to make the team out of camp, imo. People scoffed at it and said he needs more development but he'd probably be the best(or 2nd best) skater on the team right now. Idk. I see his game a lot like a Tim Stutzle (lite) and I really like Stutzle.

Might take another year, wouldn't surprise me if he also didn't make the team cause of log-jams but he's looking really good. His skating is something to be really coveted.

There’s a chance he’s back in Flint next season because he has another year of eligibility

Being drafted by Red Wings was huge boost to career of Flint Firebirds’ Amadeus Lombardi

Lombardi had 45 goals and a club-record 102 points for the Firebirds this season

Lot of bad memories on that list.

Wanted him last year.

He's still pretty slight of stature. He needs to put on some weight. He may even have issues dealing with AHL size/strength next year. He is skilled though.

Would be nice to see him at Sweden.

OHL is too easy league for him at next season.

I feel the same way. If anything... it may stunt him cause he'll get used to the pace of play...

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

I'd send him to the SHL as well and maybe GR after the SHL season

He turns 20 in June, hes GR bound. No reason to hold him back, hes a top OHL scorer who needs the next challenge

Exactly. He's signed and AHL eligible, so he will turn pro for sure.
