2019 Traverse City Prospect Tournament (Sept. 6-10)

[WingsMJN2965]

Sick deke by Veleno.

 

[Levitate]

2 on 1s & breakaways are something he normally didn’t see with SKA.

I don't think this is a particularly fair assessment. No goalie just magically doesn't see high quality scoring chances no matter what team they play for.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Solid dirty, blindside hit by Dach in an irrelevant game.

 

[Sam Spade]

Cozens and Jokiharju really look incredible for the Sabres tonight.

 

[NotLeddy]

I really don't understand why so many people around the draft were so low on Dach. Every time I've watched him play he's impressed me. I expect him to become a similar player to Matt Duchene, just bigger.

 

[Christien]

Seider is a beast

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Two goals tonight for Joe "Offensively Challenged" Veleno.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Where can I find box scores for the other prospect tournaments?

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Jack Hughes dominant thru two

 

[VictorLustig]

Jack Hughes dominant thru two

Nah, only some flashes from him here and there so far. A couple of poor plays as well.

Dach was a great pick and I said that the second he was picked 3rd overall.

Anyone who saw his playoff series against Prince Albert know what a beast mode of a performance he had.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Don't like Dach's dirty hit, but it's been really fun watching him and Seider fight back and forth over who's the bigger big man.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

That was a good hit by Dach on Seider, nothing dirty or blindside about it.

Small change, but I believe the third Leafs goal was Robertson, not Brazeau. Thanks for the box scores though!

What I said on the wings board about the wings players:

Seider looked nasty out there. Jumping into the play and attacking on offense, hes not a stay at home guy. I've read he has a bit of a mean streak and he had about 3 big hits tonight (at least 2 of which were on Dach after that cheapshot) and then he went right after Dach after the last buzzer. He was getting shots through from the point. Way more offensive game than I expected but when everyonet alked about him they said he plays way more offensive with his age group like in the World Juniors.

I thought Veleno looked really good, I thought Zadina was absolutely snake bitten and like Regner kept saying once he figures it out hes going to score a lot he probably had 6 shots in the third. Hirose was solid and I think Smith might still make it as an energy line guy.

Lindstrom looked solid as well. Very stay at home, could pan out to be a ~2009 Ericsson which isnt bad at all. Out of the no namers the only person I really noticed was Mcrea on D. I liked his play in his own end

Ill add Hawks players for those who couldnt watch:

I was mostly watching for the big names. Boqvist scored in OT but was pretty unnoticeable all game. The OT goal was from a horrible angle. Beaudin I noticed a couple times but he was just pretty steady all game.

Dach was really good all game but seemed his most dangerous on the PP. Not sure if the hit on Seider was clean or not (how can anyone pretend they can tell from that one angle?) but they had an awesome battle the rest of the game. After that"borderline" hit, Seider smoked Dach a couple times and was clearly pissed off at him but Dach kept coming right back and didnt back down. They even went at each other at the final buzzer. One undrafted name that I kept hearing was Hagel (?). He didnt do anything crazy but he always seemed to be in the mix, winning some puck battles and things like that.

Overall I would say the story of the game was goaltending. Fulcher let in 4 goals on the first ~10 shots but Detroit carried most of the play from then on. Even the OT goal was from a really bad angle (I didnt see how well the shot was placed though but seemed like it shoulda been stopped). If goaltending is equal it shoulda been about 6-3 wings with Dach and Seider the 2 best players on the ice

Yea, I noted earlier the boxscores will be off a bit. The stat keeping for the tournament is not very good.

 

[MBH]

Detroit Chicago
Boqvist - really soft decisions with the puck tonight.
Beaudoin - Kind of the same.
Dach - beast. Best player on the ice.
Gravel - Was really good for the Hawks. A couple stellar saves. Right-handed catching mitt was on display a lot.
Hakkarainen - Never heard of him, but he was good.
Kurashev - No points, but good, smart player with good skates.
---
Fulcher - Really bad for Detroit. Toledo may be too much for him.
Zadina - Always thought he was overhyped. But still thought he'd be a good top six forward. Maybe a faster, bigger Tatar. Now I'm wondering if I overhyped him myself. Shot looks weak sometimes.
Veleno - Scored twice. And they were good goals. Also had six shots. But going back to the development camp, I sense a sort of complacency in his game. He's got speed. but does he have hustle? He's got skill. But does he have desire? Still, an awesome pick at 30 and I'm looking forward to his development. I just wonder if he's got what it takes to hit that next level.
Seider - Has size, smarts and speed. Not sure he'll ever have more than that, or if he needs more than that to be a valuable piece for Detroit.
Lindstrom - Plays with aggression. I'll give him that.
D'astous - He's a bit older than some at 21. But I think he was Detroit's best blueliner today ... except on the Dach goal, which I think victimized D'astous or Lindstrom.
Lucas Savages or whatever - He's way older than everyone else, but he was Detroit's most noticeable player. Every shift he made things happen.
G. Smith- Usually, this guy impresses me when I watch him. Not tonight. Too quiet.

Ya. These games literally do not matter.

Yeah, especially with that blindside hit on Seider, that was amazing!!!!

Dont tell the homers eh

 

[NotLeddy]

I'm a Wings fan and because Seider was completely fine afterwards, I'm pretty unfazed by the hit. Seider admitted in the post game interview that he was intentionally trying to get in Dach's head and get him off his game. Dach's hit was in retaliation to Seider hitting him for most of the game.

Seider's fine, there's no point in getting upset about that hit. And it doesn't take away that Dach had a pretty solid game tonight. Seider did as well.

Lots were low but many were high on him too, more so for the whl fans.
