Beavis looked great scoring twice vs Canada on Saturday for the Stars and Stripes.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Greentree was involved in everything last night, great passes, hands, dangling, goals, assists and goals against.

Netted his 39th & 40th goal of the season.

Nor sure what to think of this league.

Alle those defenders with more than 20 goals and so, wide open nets everywhere.

yeah OHL is pretty traditionally kind of high scoring, lots of good offensive players develop there because of the touches they get though, is the tradeoff

He is distinguishing himself vs. his high draft stock/pedigree peers though and that's all we can do at this point

Would have loved to see him in the WHL, a little more physical/tight checking and defensive, but I thought he looked good playing the pro game at our camp...he obv won't be able to dangle 2 guys repeatedly in the NHL but his skillset should translate like Vilardi's did, he's clearly smart enough and uses his teammates very well YET isn't scared/is comfortable being 'the guy' in similar manner

60 GP 110 PTS with 6 games to go in the regular season. Also a +53, and while that's not a super important stat, it is good to know that Greentree is pushing play far more offensively than he is giving up defensively. A big reason why he fell to 26 in the draft was his supposed lack of defensive effort/attention to detail, so good to see he isn't a complete liability there.

It’s crazy that he and Protas are both up there around 110 points and then the next closest player is 45 points back

 

[Hockeyville USA]

2 G, 1 A tonight, up to 61 GP, 113 PTS.

His goals are freakin a thing of beauty too. Man, Kings need this kid to pan out more than anything.

Good grief, that 2nd goal

he's super comfortable on his backhand, that sort of deception will serve him well, it's not like he's a one trick pony

Those scooby doo jerseys are amazing too

 

[Hockeyville USA]

64 GP, 119 PTS

Really good considering he was at 64 GP, 90 PTS last season.

So who do the Jets need to get rid of now?

Did anyone see video of his hit that he got suspended for? Was it blatant or borderline or...?

It was one where the outcome could have been much worse, but it was still dangerous. Here's the scenario:

London had a power play late in the game while trailing, so it was 6-on-4 (goalie pulled). On the PK, a Windsor player fired it at the empty net and missed, leading to a chase for the puck between Greentree and top Sharks prospect Sam Dickinson.

Greentree gave Dickinson a crosscheck (light, but still a crosscheck) into his lower back between the face off circle and the London goal line. Dickinson crashed feet, knees, and face into the boards, and was a little wobbly after that.

Of course I never want to see a Kings prospect suspended, but I also can't complain about it. If someone did it to Greentree, I would have been pissed.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

King on Shark violence

hell yeah

Glad he's ok though

...because we need him to be okay for him to get crosschecked again later

 

[Lt Dan]

top Sharks prospect Bruce Dickinson.

I expected better.
