C Kent Johnson - Cleveland Monsters, AHL (2021, 5th, CBJ)

[Stewie Griffin]

Yeah that's a good point, makes sense to split up the playmakers and triggermen. Might see something like this for Michigan:

Johnson - Beniers - Ciccolini
Brisson - Bordeleau - Samoskevich
Duke - Beecher - M. Pastujov
Lambert - Van Wyhe - Granowicz (several upperclassmen can fill in here honestly)

Power - Blankenburg
Hughes - Pehrson
Truscott - Summers

Portillo

That team is insane. All I have to say.

This team looks good enough to beat some NHL teams this year. Jeez louis...

Yeah, I thought the UND team this year was insane, and even some BC teams from the past. Nothing compares to this though. Crazy.

Most schools do extra credit for statistics programs in a Variety of sports if the program asks for it.

Pretty much all hockey programs have it obviously at home games.
Matt Hunwick who was a volunteer assistant coach last year, now with the rangers was talking about some of the freshman on the squad last year.

He said what they found is the freshman line with Johnson, Benny, and Becker was going offside quite a bit, and it was the Benny and Johnson lots of the time causing it because they did an extra move in the neutral zone, or an extra move at the line.

So they were going to work with them on that this offseason to make them go more north-south in the neutral zone and start "Taking what they give you" on zone entries.

If Johnson clears that up and maintains his speed, and maybe does some more chip and chase instead of dangles at the line, skys the limit.

Because that line had amazing offensive zone possession........... if they got it.

The University of Michigan does have a world-class hospital tbf

Michigan getting a wake-up call from an experienced NCAA team tonight, by Johnson cuts the lead to two. Good work in the offensive zone from Hughes again.

Power, Blankenburg and Johnson are feeling it.

Obviously the stats look good. I haven't been able to watch him though. Hows he playing? Improving on any of his weaknesses from last year?

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Guy is having a phenomenal season.

 

[Xoggz22]

Followed up by 4 more assists the next night giving him 4g, 16a for 20pts in 12 games. Certainly looks impressive on the stat sheet and from what little I've been able to watch I think his play supports the impressive stats. Now hoping he gets to play more center.

 

[I3LI3]

23 points in 16 games this season.

guy is going wild so far yeeeesh

EW. What a pick at 5th overall for Columbus. He’s been tearing it up at Michigan and it’s no different for Canada so far. Such a talented player. I could see him becoming the best player of that draft.

 

[bsu]

Reminds me so much of Casey Middelstadt. They both have unlimited skill but tend to not move their feet as much when stickhandling. I think that's what separates Zegras and Raymond.

 

[snipes]

Thought he was the most dynamic player on the ice tonight

Looking for him to have a monster MVP type of tournament, along with McTavish.

 

[Boonk]

If only Canada got Sillinger for this year, him and Johnson are gonna tear shit up for a long time in Columbus. They absolutely murdered that draft

I hope he spends another year in college tbh. Johnson,Power, Berniers,Nazar, McGroarty and Casey plus their current roster. Plus Adam Tantilli who's a high draft pick for 2023.

Michigan was lucky to have two years of this team. More than likely all those top guys leave after this year ends.

Johnson really would be fine with another year at Michigan. He's going to be understrength for a while. Though I doubt he'll want to wait any longer and will probably sign his ELC this Spring.

Beniers and Power are 100% gone.
