Prospect Info: CHL Playoffs (Road to the Memorial Cup)

[MarkovsKnee]

Yeah, that was a great play:

Someone to keep an eye on for next year for sure. Likes to mix it up, has a solid release and is a better skater than Kole.

Might be someone we can look at with Florida's 1st or our early 2nd.

Neighbours finishes it on a lovely outlet pass from Prokop. Red Deer caught on the line change.

Nice game from Guhle!

Also there is a kid on Red Deer, Fabrizi. 16 year old season - 6'5, 245. Jesus

All of these guys put up good to great numbers. Teams will be busy out West next year.

Edmonton wins in OT. Neighbors on a breakaway as Red Deer has a terrible line change.

Oil Kings have a 3-0 stranglehold on the series. They can end it on Wednesday, and move onto the 3rd Round.

Prospects in playoff action tonight:

- Sobolev @ 7PM ET (Game 3 vs. Kitchener)
- Vrbetic @ 7PM ET (Game 3 vs. Kingston)
- Mysak/Xhekaj @ 7PM ET (Game 3 vs. Mississauga)

- Roy @ 7PM ET (Game 4 vs. Baie-Comeau) - if Sherbrooke wins, they advance to the 2nd round.

Do we follow Wright's playoff games in this thread or in the draft thread?

Right now, it's a free for all. Go wherever you want. It will be mentioned in every thread anyways.

Roy with an assist so far. They're tied 1-1.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

 

[MarkovsKnee]

1st period was ALL Kingston. Vrbetic isn't playing. He & Sobolov are non-prospects as far as I'm concerned.

Wright has a hit! He forechecked behind North Bay's net and gave a solid bodycheck to D.

Chromiak is insane. He's been really good.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Do we follow Wright's playoff games in this thread or in the draft thread?

I do game talk in this thread, but usually it ends up in both.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Where can we watch the Kingston game?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Wright gets another assist

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Holy crap, it's 4-3 North Bay.

I watched Leafs 1st.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Roy scores his 3rd of the playoffs to tie the game at 2-2.

He has a goal and an assist so far. And he has 11 pts in 4 games so far. And tonight isn't over yet.

 

[Hacketts]

I'm watching with biased eyes, but another playoff game where he isn't that noticeable. Credit with his 2 assists, definitely smart plays. But he's turned it over a few times, gets pushed off the puck a little too easily. I wish he played with more intensity considering the context of the playoffs and has all eyes on him tonight.

Let's see what he does in the 3rd, probably scores 2 goals and shuts me up.

 

[Whitesnake]

What an insane deflection by Roy....wow. 2-2 now. Sherbrooke is playing with fire though.

Type of player that will look better at higher levels. He is surfing on talent right now. But he is doing some very good plays. thing is Cooley is yes much more dynamic. And I'm usually totally for that. And still am. Thing is...if we hesitate, go with the C that has the kind of size that C usually has.

I definitely understand that regarding his size, or really lack there of for Cooley. Initially that was my major concern with Cooley, but he plays with a bit of fire, you see his competitiveness. I've said this before but if you have that desire and mix that with his skills you can go along way in this league. Just look at who is behind our bench, and tell me which player would thrive better.

We've been missing that high end skill for way too long, and we might have a golden opportunity to draft it. Tell me how it would go if he starts surfing in Montreal, that's not a good trait for any hockey player to have.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Roy scores his 4th of the playoffs with about 3 minutes left in the game to take a 3-2 lead.

 

[Tyson]

12 points in 4 games. Wow

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Kingston loses 6-3 to North Bay after taking a 2-0 lead half-way through 1st. Vrbetic didn't play.

Windsor hammering Kitchener 6-2 late in 3rd.

As great as Cooley looked at the WU18 this spring, Wright was far more dominant last year when he was a year younger. Wright would have absolutely tore it up this spring.

He certainly isn't tearing it up in the playoffs.

Apples and Oranges. There are 21 year olds playing in the OHL playoffs. After the 1st round, the only OHL players with more points than Wright were all 2001 and 2002 born. He's a 2004.

Perspective.
