F Andrew Cristall - Kelowna Rockets, WHL (2023, 40th, WSH)

[Postulates]

Not impressed that much by the play

That was just a very terrible goal for that goalie to give up

Meh, the goalie isn't the one to blame here. I do think that play wouldn't work in the NHL because the defenders backed off way too much here, that was the real problem and I doubt it would happen so often in the NHL, but kudos to Cristall for taking advantage.

Hoping he's on the Wings radar.

We need more high-end skill, and Cristal has it.

 

[FourQuarters]

Rockets' broadcaster said, he's doubtful for the Top prospects game. Undisclosed injury.

NOOOOOO, I was looking forward to seeing him in person! He's been out for a few game now too.

Weekly report says lower body and day to day

Weekly report said day to day since 2weeks ago, so, who knew?

He's been out for 6 games, and team lose 5 of them. If he can't be ready for Top prospects game, it'll be tough, but Rockets deadly needs him to come back, too. Overusing him led to injury at this key point, the worst scenario.

 

[FourQuarters]

After 20 days listed as "day to day", Kelowna updates their injury report, and listed Cristall as week to week. Team was playing against weak opponents after he injured, that's awful for him, he carried this team against the toughest opponents in the league, and injured before other good players came back.

Recently watched him play... Kinda gave me Wyatt Johnston vibes?

According to this article from Mon. Feb. 13, Cristall is still listed as week-to-week, but he has resumed skating.

Thank god. The difference in watching Kelowna with him and without him is ridiculous. They are a completely different team, and a far more boring, team without him. That’s not a knock. Cristall is just so entertaining and skilled.

Szturc has been a different player after WJC, it's exciting to see they play together.

Limited role tonight.

 

[Lavar Ball]

and welcome back

And he's got a hattrick

I love it when he plays angry. Going to shut up some scouts.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

He added a 4th one. What a statement game.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Woah this kid is special

 

[Icebreakers]

1.78 ppg for a draft eligible WHLer who's a non late birthday is insane.

A lot of us are gonna be scratching our heads when the first 19 picks are off the board and he isn't.

People who don’t view him as a top 10, or at the very least top 15 are clowns. His play style and production can’t be ignored. For me he’s sitting around Benson/Smith/Sale/Reinbacher in the 5-9 range.

In my opinion he and Benson are on a similar level. I only put Benson in front because the defensive game is better. I have Benson at 5 and Cristall at 7, and I can't think of the possibility that he's not in the top 10.
