Gidlöf with a "Salo".

Bednariks first goal was actually filthy

Bednarik too. He reminds me of Danny Nelson last year. They used him in a defensive role. Thought they’d look to do the same potentially with a guy like Bednarik.

Finley is already 20.

So, we can rest assured that his non-inclusion is solely because he aged out.

That's the thing, though. Nelson has 4C locked up.

 

[SI90]

Possibly, but as a returnee he may have a larger role. Also, I wasn’t saying he should be on the team but at least a camp invite

Veilleux flipped from Harvard to Cornell

Nurmi up on the first line for London. They’re stacked again so good for our future Memorial Cup watching

 

[leeroggy]

Veilleux flipped from Harvard to Cornell

From the outhouse to the bucket in the field . . .

 

[Arsenalogist24]

Gidlof on Team Sweden for world juniors

 

[Dux917]

 

[JRD76]

Isn't he the only RHD prospect they have?

 

[Arsenalogist24]

Quinn Finley 2 goals last night
Zach Schultz assist

Nice win 4-0 over #1 Michigan State

Cam Berg still out injured for North Dakota

 

[SI90]

Eiserman 2 assists +2 in BUs 4-0 win

Bednarik no points -1

Eiserman now 9g 6a 15pts in 16 gp

His goal scoring slowed a bit but he’s still almost a PPG and doing really well as a freshman.

Veilleux flipped from Harvard to Cornell

Very interesting, even if uninspiring - at first.

From the outhouse to the bucket in the field . . .

Cornell is currently ranked 14th in the country. Harvard isn't in the top 20.

Hmmmm.

Of course, Cornell only has a record of 5-3-3. Ohio State is right behind them with a record of 11-5-1.

So, there's that...

I had been seeing and hearing that Cornell has been a bit of an inside tip as an intense under-the-radar developmental location for hockey in recent years.

So, maybe them wanting him enough to get him to transfer away from Harvard is a good indication of what folks should expect from him down the line?

I love you Chap, but I'm a Hobart grad, and making fun of Cornell and Syracuse are practically a degreed major for us

Eiserman 2 assists +2 in BUs 4-0 win

Bednarik no points -1

Ummm . . .

 

[doublechili]

Ummm . . .

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. I'm no mathematician, but....

Finley has been one of the best players in the NCAA, I think he should go pro after this season and play a 1-1.5 years in the minors before making the jump.

Get used to pro hockey and develop from there...

If he finishes with 55+ points, which he's been on pace to do, this will likely be his path.

Jefferies has already been better than advertised and Finley is a good year more advanced than Jefferies was at the same stage.

Moreover, when you watch Finley play, he's both smart and has some incredible guile with the puck. The organization may have concerns about his lower class weight, but the rest says he's about ready for the next step.

I agree. I've watched him a bit, and his calling cards are intelligence, and skill. His skating is pretty good, but not explosive.

imo he might develop better with another year in the NCAA to mature, gain muscle. But the issue re rights expiry overrides that.

Finley also is very good penalty killer, did good job in that role on US WJC team last year.

We don't have much in the way of elite prospects, but we do seem to have a mess of solid guys. Sounds familiar.

 

[Arsenalogist24]

Danny Nelson goal. Team leading 8th, and an 8 game point streak

BU played an exhibition game against the USNTDP. Bednarik 1 goal 2 assists

Quinn Finley assist

Jesse Nurmi makes Team Finland for WJC. Another one of our guys to watch at the tournament

Big game for Xavier Veilleux last night. Short handed goal and 2 assists. USHL
