Pastujov has added an assist, now 1+1.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Lacombe has added an assist.

Pastujov has scored in his debut with sarnia.

4 points against half-talented a Michigan team. I'll take it as it spurs LaCombe's offense back to life, but I was hoping to see him bounce back against full competition.

You're correct about LaCombe playing forward:

LaCombe was a forward well into his teens until switching to defense full time while playing prep hockey for Shattuck-St. Mary’s. With Logan Cooley suspended by the Big Ten for one game, Cooley [LaCombe] took a shift at forward in the first period between Matthew Knies and Jimmy Snuggerud, and promptly popped a rising shot over Michigan goalie Erik Portillo’s shoulder for a 1-0 lead.​

 

[Static]

Gaucher and colangelo have added assists, Nathan is now 1+2.

Unfortunately Francis' assist has been credited to a teammate, so first point will have to wait.

And now gaucher scores again, so a 2+2 night for him as well. Named third star of the game.

 

[Static]

Pastujov has added an assist, now 1+1.

Named first star of the game.

Noah Warren got into a fight in which his opponent was given an instigator, wondering if a big hit led to that.

It indeed was a big check from Warren that led to his fight. No penalty on the initial hit.

 

[Static]

Luneau gets a third assist on the EN goal for a cool five point night, named first star of the game.

He is now second in the Q in scoring from a defenseman, the leader is a full two years older than him.

 

[Static]

Hvidston has a primary PP assist for swift current.

Kukkonen with a PP goal for Michigan tech.

 

[Static]

 

[Static]

Hvidston has a second assist, eight points in his last three games.

Kukkonen also has his second goal of the game.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Hvidston has a second assist, eight points in his last three games.

Kukkonen also has his second goal of the game.

Our late rounders are making a lot of noise. That 2021 class is looking to be scary great.

 

[Static]

Zellweger has a goal, his 9th of the year.

 

[Static]

One of gaucher's assists has been credited to another teammate, so he finished 2+1

Glad to see luneau doing well, thought he had 1st round talent… and thought it was a very good pick where we got him

I'm pretty sure he was considered a top 10 prospect in the draft until he got injured, if he can live up to that earlier hype and potential he could be the top 4 two-way defenseman everyone is clamoring for

Yep he fell hard due to injury but if he can continue on his path he should be a good addition to our defensive pool.

I think he’s more of a 2 way guy…. Which is a good mix to what we already have. I really like the stylistic dmen we have coming up…. Nice blend of offensive guys, physical guys and 2 way guys

Gaucher reminds me a lot of Jones, he's just a center. I think for both of them (if we turn back the time on Jones a bit), the offense they are showing in the CHL is questionable in how it could translate to the NHL. They're very reactive and use their power against the teens but rarely show they can take over shifts, or even create something. Gaucher might also bring FO ability and perhaps more meanness, but tbh, I see 4th liners in both.

Look how small he looks in that picture.

I feel like Gaucher has already shown more than Jones ever did but I am someone who hated that Jones pick the moment we made it so maybe I'm biased but to be fair I also hated the Gaucher pick when we first made it but he's won me over in the months since the draft with what we saw from him at training camp and thus far in the Q this year.

Gaucher is most likely a bottom 6 guy but I think he has all the tools to be one of those underlooked guys who doesn't put up a ton of points but is one of the best defensively-minded forwards in the league, Jones on the other hand I never saw anything more than a fringe 4th line/AHL level forward, he never impressed me even at the OHL level

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Guacher will hopefully have the benefit of not going through multiple devastating injuries.
