Prospect Info: 2022-23 Ducks Prospects

[Trojans86]

There is a hell of a lot of flow and player movement there. They must be a fun team to watch.

 

[Trojans86]

The weight is a key aspect here this kid is built like a fire hydrant

I’ve always felt like your hockey height (how big u play) is within a +/- 3 inch range of your real height depending on your build, how you use leverage and strength levels. It’s a great sign he is committed to the gym. If he can play 2 inches bigger than he is he willl be just fine imo.

 

[Gliff]

In WJC he was measured 5'11 and 185

I believe the 185 but no f***ing way is he 5’11 lol.

 

[Kalv]

I don't know for sure, obviously but he does look taller to me since the draft, noticed it in the WJC before this last one.

Check that image. That other player is 6'1 Seeley, then again that coach (Dennis Williams) apparently is 5'9.

 

[All Mighty]

Most of our CHL prospects are playing their last regular season games of the season today. The exceptions are Tschigerl and Pastujov, who both play today and tomorrow.

Gaucher’s first playoff game is already set to next Friday against Charlottetown.

Also worth mentioning that Zellweger is currently tied for most points by a dman in the WHL. Yes, the guy he is tied with has played many more games, but it would be nice if Zellweger could take the outright lead.

 

[All Mighty]

Minnesota plays St. Cloud State in the NCAA quarterfinal today at 3:30 PDT on ESPNU. If Minnesota wins, they will play the semifinal on April 6, which is about 1 week before the end of the NHL regular season.

Mintyukov is 1+1 halfway through his final regular season game as a junior.

 

[Static]

Mintyukov at 88 points now, has an outside shot at getting to 90.

As of now he has the 25th highest scoring season ever for a dman in the OHL.

 

[Anarchynate]

Mintyukov is 1+1 halfway through his final regular season game as a junior.

I’m not going to say it, ok well I will….MAKAR

 

[Kalv]

I'm switching between Hinds and Gauchers games, have seen a few shifts from both.

Hinds just tilts the ice in his teams favor. 2 shifts in a row the opposing team got the puck and moved down the ice on Hinds side and it took only a few seconds for the puck to go the other way... one time it was a stickcheck and Hinds quickly took the puck himself, and the other time he used his large frame to kind of block the opposing player and got the puck to his teammate quickly.

Gaucher has looked slow (injury?) except for a few plays. And I mean as slow as those veteran players we usually are pissed about. But I also saw him forechecking, pushing a payer and wining a faceoff. Yay

Both matches my experience watching them earlier in the season

 

[Sean Garrity]

Watching Lacombe, he's not flashy, but he's so damn calm with the puck and plays in every situation for Minnesota.

 

[All Mighty]

Hinds finishes the season with 54 points in 56 games and a +61 rating, best among all dmen in the Q.

Very excited to see how he plays in the AHL next season as he can be a fantastic complement to any of our offensive dmen.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Mintyukov is 1+1 halfway through his final regular season game as a junior.

150 career OHL points for him, which is ridiculous for a Dman having only played two seasons in the league

 

[All Mighty]

LaCombe sends Cooley on a breakaway to score the go-ahead goal in the 2nd period.

 

[Sean Garrity]

LaCombe sends Cooley on a breakaway to score the go-ahead goal in the 2nd period.

Great pass.

Cooley looks really really good, and is feistier than I expected/remembered. Took a stupid penalty though with that feistiness.

It's the same game Hinds played at the rookie tourney, which I said reminds me a lot of Lindholm. Lindholm wins puck battles as well as quickly and efficiently gets the puck out of the d-zone, essentially tilting the ice often. Hinds is my dark horse to make the NHL club next year, either to start or called up halfway through the season.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Lacombe goal.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Minny onto the Frozen Four! LaCombe with 1g +1a and +3 rating, including being on the ice for the EN at the end of the game. I thought he might have had an assist on the EN, but didn't.

 

[Static]

Tschigerl finished with a couple assists, Luneau an assist, and hvidston has a goal.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Minny vs St. Cloud St.

LaCombe's steal and three zone pass to Cooley for a breakaway goal was amazing. The recognition by LaCombe was so quick. It reminded me of LaCombe's pass for a breakaway goal at the WJC's (after his Russia game debacle).

 

[All Mighty]

Zellweger finished scoreless tonight, which unfortunately means he does not win the scoring title for defensemen in the WHL.

 

[All Mighty]

Swift Current loses to Medicine Hat. The winner of that game got the final playoff spot, so Hvidston’s WHL season is over. However, like Zellweger last year, he can sign a tryout for the Gulls and play a couple of games in San Diego.

1 less point in 10 less games gotta think he still picks up a 2nd Bill Hunter Trophy for WHL Defenseman of the Year

 

[All Mighty]

1 less point in 10 less games gotta think he still picks up a 2nd Bill Hunter Trophy for WHL Defenseman of the Year

I’m sure he will. I’m just disappointed we can’t say that we had the top scoring defenseman in each CHL league.
