Same goes for us drafting Landon Sim, who's dad was an amateur scout with the Blues at the time of the draft.

Phil McRae

Phil McRae

He was actually regarded as a pretty decent prospect back then though, not a blue chipper by any means but a lot of people believed he had a real shot to make it. Obviously he didn't but just saying not sure he belongs in that category.

I was going to say the same. One caveat, I think he was taken a bit high.

He got hurt. Don’t remember what it was but he just didn’t play the same after.

I thought that when he was drafted, but it looks pretty bad in retrospect.

The Hall of Decent. That is funny af.

Snuggy got his 100th point.

 

[Majorityof1]

Snuggy got his 100th point.

His 3 year career just tied former Blue Payl Karyia's single 92-93 season of 100 points. He still has 16 more points to catch former Blue Tony Hrkac's 86-87 season lol. They sure scored a ton more in college back then.

Montgomery was Kariya's center that season.

Does Dylan Peterson have any potential to be an NHLer?

Dvorsky just assisted on the GWG in OT.

I do think he has a future as a third or fourth line player. He’s very good defensively and isn’t afraid to block a shot. Excellent forechecker and smart player. The primary assist was a beautiful stretch pass by Johannesson to send Matt Luff on a partial breakaway

I think Peterson understands his limitations and is adjusting toward a perfect trajectory to the NHL as a better version of MacMac. He’s smart. Real smart.

And that’s not meant to be a knock on MacMac.

Seems like you've seen some Thunderbirds games, what do you think of him? Pretty impressive production so far for a 20 year old.

I think he will be a top 6-9 guy. He can really skate, 200ft player, and has More skill than advertised. Konawalchuk really likes and trusts him in all situations.

Stancl’s skating has really improved. He’s flying out there vs Vancouver.

Hope you're right on Kaskimaki! Been a fan of his for a while.

Agree with you on Stancl, he looks way faster this year. I remember watching him at the WJC last year and liking a lot of his game (size, IQ, winning board battles, etc) but being worried his skating would keep him from making an impact at higher levels. He obviously still has a LONG way to go but looked like a different player this year in pre-season/training camp...much faster and more dynamic.

That’s a great comparison. Mac Mac is a very useful player. Does everything but score. He finds the net 10-12 times a year, then you have yourself a player. Not sure he gets there, but he is still developing and getting better

Snuggy with 2 goals tonight!

Try to catch a little Cobra Chickens after Springfield wins 4th straight

Jimmy is on fire in big 10 play. Wanted to highlight the assist because we all know he can score. Pretty nice play off the wall.

Was just gonna post this. His shot speaks for itself. But we are in such desperate need of guys who can get the puck off the wall and into productive places. Good play by Snuggy.

 

[bleedblue1223]

On pace for his best season.

Pekarcik also with a 2g and 1a game
