Rogle lost in OT. So they're down 3-2 in the series. Engstrom with 2 assists.

KalPa also lost to Pelicans earlier. KalPa is also down 3-2 in their 1st round series. No points for Kapanen.

Pitlick with 11 pts in the last 11 games, started the year with 13 pts in 20 games. Next year should be very telling as I assume Minnesota will lose a few of the top line players so Pitlick should see a bigger role.

wow I assumed Pitlick was a senior. think I may have confused him with Stapley

This would be his senior year if he hadn't done 2 years in the ushl after being drafted

I feel like the backwards skating is coming along, no?

Kid can absorb hits pretty damn well too.

@Estimated_Prophet seems pretty good at identifying his skating issues. His balance at times seems off. But I can't do that kind of thing justice so I won't try.

Honestly the D looks pretty good. I don't know if times he's not covering the right guy but it's not egregious. Again, those finer details are beyond my ken. But for a small, freshman D that's an offensive dynamo I don't see any worrisome red flags imo. He could definitely get better though.

All in all, I feel more confident all the time with him. I feel like his deficiencies are fixable and not glaring enough to warrant major concern. While the upside is tremendous.

His back skating is still as bad as any d prospect that I have ever watched, because quite literally can't do it at all. He will pivot from front to back but will not skate backwards. He switches to a side skate to regain speed which is terrible technique as it will leave him susceptible to hard inside/outside cuts. He has to gamble on his instincts to anticipate his opponents next move but he has been burnt many times this year because of it and is exactly why the U.S. team was hesitant to use him until they desperately needed offence. He is for all intents and purposes a forward playing D.

There is zero chance of him playing in the NHL if he doesn't fix this because he will get **** on every time he is on the ice and has to defend. The good news is that I am very confident that he puts in the work and fixes the problem because it is a fatal flaw in his game and the kid is too smart and competitive to not put in the work.

Rohrer scores his 19th of the year as Ottawa is tied 1-1 with Petes. It's Beck vs. Rohrer again tonight.

[Adam Michaels]

- Roy with another goal. Has 2 so far.

- Kidney with another assist. Has 3 so far.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Roy with an assist. He has 2 goals and an assist so far as Sherbrooke are up 7-0.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Roy has 2 goals and one assist so far.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Gatineau & Sherbrooke back to dominating the league after facing each other...

Do they learn anything from those blowouts? Glorified scrimmages

 

[jfm133]

Roy's goals are both shorthanded.

 

[jrom]

3rd assist of the game

crazy to think no one had tought of using him on the PK before the WJC

 

[DesmondDekker]

Roy's goals are both shorthanded.

No way he scores two shorthanded goals in a game at the next level, he should’ve focussed on killing the PP instead. Man what a bum.

[LesHabitants]

That is some nifty stickhandling in my opinion.

 

[Slafkofield]

Since when is Dobes’ a Leafs prospect…

 

[Sagikev]

That is some nifty stickhandling in my opinion.

The first clip is great, he makes it look so easy
