That OT winner was nasty. Book on Maric seems to be just go high glove

It's like his career's purpose is to play at the smallest arenas in the league. Arizona has the smallest rink in the NHL like Swift Current and the Winnipeg Ice did.

Huge haul but I have no idea why SC did that. They are a mid-level team.

They've barely played with their full roster all season. Top scorer Mathew Ward has been out for months, he's expected back in the coming weeks. Their starting goaltender has been out for a while, he could be back this weekend. They just got Jakub Dvorak from Czechia.

Their core is their 2004 group of players, so this is the last year they're going to have them all together. It's always been the plan to make a big push in 23-24.

2 games for Broncos, 2 goals, 3 assists, 5 points, +3, 10 shots on goal, 26/44 at face-offs
not a bad start

How close is Geekie vs Savoie at this point? I haven't really watched much of either this year outside the WJC, both have top 6 potential, but I wonder if this season makes Geekie the one who starts to rise in prospect rankings.

Double OT game winning goal as the Broncos advance to the next round!

Kind of a head scratcher. Had a great year, yes, but only played 29 games in the Central Division. Should McKenna not have been the nominee for this?

Interested to see if he's a 2C or 3C in the league. Guessing he starts in Syracuse but gets games this year with the Lightning, especially if the Bolts are extremely top heavy &/or deal with more injuries.

Plays with power & skill. Absolute unit out there in Lightning development camp so far

Yeah, you've got yourselves a beauty.

I’ve always said the sky is the limit for this player. He can be as good as he chooses. All of the “skating issues” are nonsense, in my opinion. He’s an amazing skater for his size when he decides to be. He can be as dominant as he feels like being. It all boils down to choices for Geekie. His motor is and always has been wildly inconsistent. His range of outcomes still includes 1st line center and 4th line winger. He could be Tage Thompson or he could be Logan Brown.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Looks like he's made Tampa's opening night roster!

 

[Hockeyville USA]

He's looking pretty damn good since being moved up to Cirelli and Hagel's line!

in the bit of TBL i have watched so far, i've been impressed with him.
