[IWillMakeTheNHL]

When did he become Alternate Captain?

 

[CLW]

lmao poor commentator lol

Reminds me of this play by McD, even the call is the same:

 

[Bubbles]

2G, 1A and a 5 minute major. Call it a Gavin McKenna hat trick, lol

Funnily enough, he was announced as the WHL player of the week even with the two-hander to the nads.

Smart proactive move by Med Hat. Entice him to stay for his draft year, especially with these NCAA rumours. Hope he stays and demolishes the league in his draft year.

Would have been a better move to let Medicine Hat host the 2026 Memorial Cup like everyone else was expecting instead of giving it to Kelowna as a make up for Covid.

Suspended three games.

 

[Bubbles]

1G, 3A tonight in his first game back from suspension. Looked like he was shot of out of a cannon offensively, was dangerous all game.

Tigers are a complete firewagon team. If they get Lindstrom and Basha healthy for the playoffs I don't see many Memorial Cup hopes for anybody else in the dub.

IDK, it's not like they have been a super unbeatable team this this year. They'll have a tough series if and when they play Lethbridge or Calgary and then a team like Edmonton has even given them some fits this season. Then there's Everett and Spokane out of the west.

It doesn't really seem like Lindstrom will be back this season and if he does, who knows how effective he'll be. With Basha, Desjardins in January that any potential return would only be possible through a long playoff run, which also doesn't bode well considering that's coming from the coach.

I wouldn't count out the London Knights and the Q always has a strong older team as well.

Yeah Moncton is right up there with London right now.

Thanks, I was looking at them the other day and they don't have a sexy team but look really solid for a run.

Hat trick and 5 points tonight now. The kid is unreal to watch live.

 

[macbowes]

Ended the game with 7 points, looks like he's trying his best to win the CHL scoring title. 37-84-121 on the year, 5 points back of Misa, 4 points back of Cristall. Amazing player.

Hey, you aren’t allowed to call the cooks and cleaners cooks and cleaners!

 

[57special]

Special player.

 

[wetcoast]

Special player.

Yes and while 26 is going to be a great draft I don't see any legitimate challenge to McKenna for the #1 spot.
