Prospect Update, Nov 13: Juniors

Juniors, Nov 13.png


- Terrance holds steady in scoring rate. He lead his team in goals scored, points, and +/- rating.

- Pitre also holding steady in scoring rate. He ranks 4th on the team in scoring.

- Sidorov reigns supreme with 1.50 ppg rate. Note: on EP, you can find him by Yegor or Egor Sidorov. I'll go by Egor. He is 1st on the team in goal scoring and 2nd in overall scoring.

- "Hot Rod" Dionicio's ppg rate jumped from 1.08 to 1.25. He's third for team scoring. There's only one player with a positive +/- rating on the team, having played only two games.

Europe, Nov 13.png



- No games for Sundsvik and Clara with their respective teams.

- Clara had a shutout in international play this week for Italy.

- Buteyets played a game and slightly improved his Sv% adn GAA.

NHL, Nov 13.png


I'll just share this image of the Calder leaders...

NHL Calder, Nov 13.png

(Note: This Calder page doesn't work in chrome.)

Guess Dostal needs a shutout so that there's a Ducks in every category shown.

Prospect Update, Nov 13: AHL and ECHL

AHL ECHL, Nov 13.png


- There are seven Gulls who do not possess a negative +/- rating. Three of them are rookies: D Hinds, F King, and RD Luneau. Hot damn, the Gulls are terri-bad!

- Surprised to see Clang with Sv% above 0.900.

- King is one of the better surprises on this early AHL season. He didn't show much during the rookie tourney or at training camp.

- ECHL, Suchanek had an impressive week! He played in 3 games and rose is Sv% from 0.875 Sv % as well as his GAA from 4.03 GAA.

- ECHL, Alexander did not play any games this past week.

Hvidston's coach was suspended indefinitely today by the WHL for a practice incident caught on tape. Apparently he belligerently broke a player's stick with his own for a mistake in a drill.

There isn’t much info there. He was swearing at a player and slashed his stick in half. I don’t know, seems pretty weak, doesn’t go in to him saying anything derogatory towards the player nor was he physically abusive to him. I don’t think that’s the best way to get the most out of a player, but that punishment seems harsh initially.

Yeah I’m with some of the posters here. While that may not be the ideal coaching method, and I wouldn’t want a taskmaster like that teaching junior age kids, there’s certainly nothing suspension worthy about a coach throwing a fit if things aren’t being done his way, assuming that’s all it is.

Dude had a bigger punishment than some of the Blackhawks involved in their pathetic affairs.

In no way that behavior is excusable but yeah, in a vacuum, seems a bit harsh, eh?

But that's not a vacuum, you're comparing it to something else. In a vacuum it makes perfect sense. If we start to compare it to other things it just highlights that other leagues punish other things wildly inadequately, in a general way.

Bottom line to me is that the coach was way out of line. I've played sports, I expect coaches to have their freakout tantrums, coaching seems to attract that sort of person. But if a coach is literally swinging sticks around, HARD, while kids are holding them! in anger, he's a f***in psycho and he's gotta go. Not to mention he's probably a shitty leader who doesn't know how to motivate other than by intimidation so his firing is justifiable on the merits, too.

Ya this. I've had coaches scream in my face plenty of times. That is very different then swinging a stick at a kid.

Especially for a league where half the players are kids, this needed to be handled this way.

I was going to leave it at that...I'll try and add to the discussion. Actions, or in this case a reaction, should be controlled in a professional setting. When the intent isn't constructive (ie: grabbing property and destroying it), there has to be ramifications. This has nothing to do with p***yfication and more so holding people accountable for their actions.

If I was your boss in the office, you did a project that you thought was the correct way to do it, and then I grabbed your laptop and snapped it in half because you didn't do the project correct in my eyes...what would happen? how would you feel? you would want my boss to provide consequences for my actions, yes? Possible even firiring.

If what you're arguing is that the Blackhawks' punishment was completely and utterly inadequate, then I agree with you.

As for this punishment, in a vacuum, I don't have any problem with a league of mostly youth holding a coach to a very high standard in terms of the way they conduct themselves, particularly when it comes to violent outbursts. Sure, he hit a stick and not a kid, but the reaction itself is not a good sign for the way the coach handles frustration.

In full disclosure, I've coached youth sports for a dozen years and now I'm coaching high school athletics. If I did something like this, I would expect to be suspended while they investigated the incident and investigated me to see whether this was a completely isolated occurrence or a pattern. This stuff is serious. Adults in positions of power, especially when it's over kids, need to be held to a high standard, not only for legal purposes but for ethical purposes as well. We have a lot of influence over kids and abusing that leverage can do a lot of long-term damage.

And just to clarify, this is just as true whether the player is a minor or not. The dynamic is the same.
