Eriks is a horse….wasn’t flashy but he gets the job done.

 

[Marshall]

Mateiko really showing well.

Mateiko has good size and decent hands. Never a bad thing.

Mateiko has good size and decent hands. Never a bad thing.

He just needs to keep improving his foot speed which the Caps have shown they've been able to do with their development program.

 

[Silky mitts]

Most of the goals Latvia has scored by someone other than Mateiko, Mateiko has created open ice for his teammates by going to the net or extreme attention of the other team, he’s exactly the type of player Canada could use where no one is going to the net

I’d love to see Moose come to North America and play in Hershey. He is eligible. Same with ‘lil Pro. Cristal and Allan as well. Going to be some fun newbies next year.

Moose is in NA right now. He is playing in the Q for the Sea Dogs.

Duh! Not sure how i got that confused. But he can be in Hershey next year.

Has fun to see him play twice. Moose and Hudson both. both exceeded my expectations.

Soon to be Rimouski (the Memorial Cup hosts)

This is true since he's a late birthday. I'm not sure he's ready for that steep a jump but in theory he could. The late birthday also means this is his last WJC.

I guess he could play a bottom six role in Hershey next year but it would be kind of aggressive. Lil Protas is also eligibile to make the jump. Cristall of course. Suzdalev could still figure in their plans. Funk is in the mix. Returning to the Q as an overager and playing tons wouldn't be the worst thing. Depends how strong he finishes the season. Lots to like about the player but still a lot of filling out to do. His power game would get emphasized making the jump next year but his softer, skill game and endurance tested more by returning. We'll see.

Lewandowski for the Germans seems like a player up their alley. Playing in the Dub, solid frame, feet not great currently. Seems like a fit in R2-3.

Just imagine when there's a 6'5"+ European (but not Finnish) winger with great puck skills but questionable skating playing in the WHL. Mahoney might retire.

 

[Langway]

Sikora PPG.

 

[Calicaps]

I wanna watch Lenny. What're my options without cable?

I think just Fubo ... I've even tried some of my other usual methods of finding these games online and have been unsuccessful

 

[twabby]

Cole Hutson is gonna be a good one

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Hutson with a sick goal!

 

[Dr John Carlson]

I like Beck Malenstyn, he's a sturdy 4th liner with the speed and physicality you like... but trading him for the pick that became Hutson looks like one of the nuttier trades I can remember...

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Hutson is a beast.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Lenny hits the iron…..trucked Cowan earlier.
