Think Seattle takes it.

Think Seattle takes it.

WHL teams lately have stumbled in the Memorial Cup even if they were probably the favorites to win it. And it's not just that they didn't win it or make the final, they were eliminated in the round robin stage.

2022: Edmonton Oil Kings: 0 wins
2019: Prince Albert Raiders: 0 wins
2018: Swift Current Broncos: 0 wins
2017: Seattle Thunderbirds: 0 wins
2016: Brandon Wheat Kings: 0 wins

You have to go back to 2015 to see a WHL team pick up a win in the round robin stage.

I believe in Milic. He's really good.

I'm not as enamored with T-Birds D, but Milic is the backbone. They have a deep offense that can score in a lot of different ways.

I like Quebec's offense too, but Rousseau....

Peterborough wants to grind you, but I see them like last year's Edmonton who played like that too. They have the worst offense among all the teams.

Kamloops will be a tough out. It's either Kamloops or Quebec vs Seattle in Final.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Very happy to see Owen Beck and Peterborough and Jared Davidson and Seattle make the Memorial Cup!! Wishing them and their teams lots of success in the tournament!!

 

[Vachon23]

I need to give Patrick Roy a big props ! He build that team since 2019 for this year and he succeed

 

[Number 57]

Between NHL starting at 8PM and Memorial Cup in the west this year starting at 9PM, east coast fans are really getting shafted this year for important hockey games

 

[HuGort]

Thank God Marc Bergevin had balls to draft Mailloux. Even when he didn't want to be drafted. Mailloux going to be stud on Habs Blueline for years to come

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Is it the year the WHL will end the bad streak?

 

[Kennerback]

Thank God Marc Bergevin had balls to draft Mailloux. Even when he didn't want to be drafted. Mailloux going to be stud on Habs Blueline for years to come

My view: He should have been a No Draft as Mailloux had asked. Yes he will be a stud.

For all his posturing (because that's just what it is) Bettman dropped the ball on this one, he should have made him uneligible for the draft that year if he didn't want to see him drafted.

Now that he has been drafted and getting closer to AHL then NHL, every relevant official will do some PR theater to slow walk this to look good (instead of actually tackling those isssues, like the WJC scandal slowly being buried, the on-going crap in CHL, etc)

Mailloux going to be real good player. Get him at 31 a steal.

That pick ended being good all around.

1) The Habs got themselves a real good player at 31.

2) It also was the beginning of the end of MB because the backlash of this (and more importantly the GM and scout being badly prepared for that backlash) was a big reason MB was canned a few months later.

I'm not ready to say that yet.

Gutsy move, I doubt it costs his career. But it secured Habs future next 15 years

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Lol, the Petes had to clarify they weren't actually driving to Kamloops.

The Remparts departed from Quebec this morning for Toronto on a private air charter. Both teams will then be on the same plane to Kamloops.

 

[Playmaker09]

Does Beck's suspension carry over for game 1 since they beat London in 6?

It should not.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

No

No the NHL DOPS assumes disciplinary control of the Memorial Cup deemed he is able to play.

 

[MXD]

This NHL DOPS thing is f***ing ridiculous.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

No the NHL DOPS assumes disciplinary control of the Memorial Cup deemed he is able to play.

I had no idea this was a thing

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Can't believe Dopes actually got one right.

 

[Whitesnake]

I'll repeat it...(does it make it more true though..lol), I see an all-WHL Finals. Kamloops vs Seattle. With....a Kamloops win in the end.

Now...sorry for Kamloops fans...

Really? We are taking instructions and directions from a minor? Despite his protestations against being drafted it didn’t stop him from signing an ELC that will pay him more than most here will earn in their entire working careers.
