Leonard on the PK.

Now now on the PP with Gauthier who then scored

That wasn't my point.

I'm just saying Fehr's 50 goal seasons weren't all that impressive and it shouldn't dissuade you from looking at junior production as a barometer for NHL success as long as the proper adjustments are made.

I've been an NHL draftnik since '89. You know how man high point production high drafted players I've seen never make it?

So confirmed Leonard is on the top PP unit. He's agitating out there pretty clear not making friends with RPI players.

Leonard is definitely the most physical player on the ice for both teams.

would be nice to see him pot one

Perreault just scored an unassisted break away but it was the kid line on ice.

 

[usiel]

Awesome dish by Ambrasio now 4-1 BC.

 

[Cush]

Miro gets his first

Nice to hear them say about Leonard “he’s one of those guy you just notice every time they are on the ice”…..

 

[bacchist]

I'd love to see Suzdalev get some playing time.

Should have sent him back to juniors tbh. Not sure why he's in Hershey. South Carolina ain't the place for him either.

Cristall with 2 assists and the GWG in the shootout

I'm pretty clueless. Why would juniors be preferable to South Carolina

That seems like a fun locker room and Miro seems to be down with it. Good sign!

The ECHL is really only a feeder league for the NHL for goalies. Not much star power has gone through the ECHL and becomes impactful in the NHL. There are a few exceptions of guys who got a cup of coffee and moved on like Mike Ryder got 30 or so games over two seasons, Ruslan Fedotenko got 8 games, Mike Hoffman played 4 games...most tenured to become impactful is Alex Burrows who got about 130 games. Suzdalev would have been better served playing 20 minutes a night on the first line, top PP and relied upon in a leadership role in juniors than getting 8 minutes a night beaten around on South Carolinas 4th line in a league the celebrates physical play and goonery.

Makes sense. I wonder why they decided to keep him in Hershey if they aren't playing him. Maybe they expect injuries to start opening up some spots? Would he be unavailable for the entire year if he went back down to juniors?
