Not bad for your first playoff goal

Liked this kid when we drafted him. Would be nice to see him develop and come over. May be a bit but he has decent size, decent skill set and appears to be playing center. Can't have too many options there as we've learned through the years.

Is this a red flag? Are we headed for another Mike Reilly? Yes, I'm being pessimistic, but I'm a CBJ fan

No and no.

Whitelaw to Michigan E4

Would like to see him play with Brindley. I thought Gavin looked pretty good tonight. BC was just much better.

 

[Cowumbus]

This is actually just a Gavin Brindley Stan thread

 

[Aaaarrgghh]

What would be the reason for Brindley wanting another year in the NCAA? Finish school? Try to win the championship? My guess is he's simply keeping his options open. He's going to look silly if he says that he wants to go pro and then spends another year at Michigan.

I know we got him with a super early 2nd round pick, but I still can’t believe Brindley wasn’t taken in the 1st.

 

[Cowumbus]

I’m wondering if the fact he saw Nazar decide to go pro impacts much (probably not), to me that was a bit unexpected.

Mateychuk now has 14 pts in 6 playoff games.

Loved this draft pick. I truly hope he can translate his game to the NHL. It would seem tailored for the NHL but sometimes things just don't go as planned. I think he's going to be very good and play a solid 200 ft game with an emphasis on moving the puck quickly, efficiently and effectively. That woudl be a huge boom to the back end.

I didn’t put any stock into the quoted tweet but the woman who responded covers the Cleveland monsters so maybe she’s confirming it?

With 19 points in 9 games, Mateychuk is the leading scorer of WHL playoffs after two rounds. I haven't had time to watch much hockey lately but I'll try to catch as many games of the upcoming Blades series as I can. Hoping to read reports from our fellow CHL followers as well.

Like a Stark in Winterfell, there must always be a Jacket at Michigan.

Pinelli signed his ELC

Warriors take game 1 in OT. Mateychuk was great at both ends of the ice. Collected two assists, looked very good in transition plays tonight, set up quite a lot of scoring chances considering how much less MJ seemed to have possession and sustained pressure in the ozone compared to Saskatoon. They probably need to continue to be opportunistic with their big guns up front since there appears to be less depth on the team overall. Yager had one shot on goal and it was the OT winner. Might be a long series.

Pinelli signed his ELC

Pinelli's pick was the point in last year's draft where I felt they really lost me. Their 3rd forward in a row that was 5'9. And not a lot of production for that size and no special qualities like Brindley has.

Agree 100 percent. Though that seems like a pick our advanced stats guys would advocate for when it’s that late. Most guys at that point are long shots, and if you can make it at 5’9” with no real elite skills that stand out, maybe you’re a dang good overall player like Marchand (to a much lesser extent Danforth).
However at that point you should be looking for depth. Someone that could maybe be a bottom 6 guy one day, and for that role big guys are much more impactful in general.

 

[Cowumbus]

Oiva Keskinen is having a pretty good playoff. His team in in the final, and he has 9P in 15GP.

Anyone able to summarize what his dad said?


Oh forgot this nugget

The other day we were talking about the big forwards popping in the playoffs.

Adam Lowry was a third rounder, Dakota Joshua a 5th, Rempe a 6th. Sometimes even the big guys you draft for depth end up making a bigger impact than expected.

Yep, added value for sure. Looking at our bigger guys doesn’t instill confidence. Dolzhenkov probably our best chance?
