OT: General College Hockey Talk

[old kummelweck]

Shaping up pretty good. Levi, Portiallo, Power, Costantini, Huglin... you want winners in the org.

Mich/Minn very nice very nice

Haven't heard much about Yaniv Perets G from Quinnipiac. Looks undrafted, maybe I'm missing something. He's got better numbers than Levi, though maybe ECAC isn't as impressive as Hockey East (and he's almost 2 years older).

 

[elchud]

McLaughlin and Giles from BC are both available to be signed, if we are interested. McLaughlin gives us AHL center depth option, Giles can score, and they are both right shots. McLaughlin should get interest from many teams.

Quinnipiac is a machine though - they remind me of the Motzko-era St. Cloud teams that everyone is just the same and everyone knows what to do and where to go. They're deep and defensively smothering as anyone. NU on the other hand... is not. Levi has to work for his outcomes in a way that Perets has not. Perets has faced 447 shots to Levi's 885. I'm not sure Perets is putting up a sub 1.00 GAA facing nearly double the shots on goal.

McLaughlin one would expect is signed somewhere soon with BC being done. Giles is a big lad, could very well get some play because as the old adage goes, you can't teach size. Giles has Buffalo connections through the NTDP because he was there when Jeremiah Crowe was there, but after Granato had left. He might have him on his radar - it'll be interesting to see if he gets an ATO to end the year.

Shots Against per 60:

Perets 18.4
Levi 31.7

It is interesting that Power was 1st team Big 10 and Hughes was 2nd team and then Hughes is a top 10 Hobey guy and Power isn't.

 

[old kummelweck]

Yeah, I noticed that too. A bit of a snub if you ask me. I actually think Hughes has a legit shot at HB.

The difference in selection committees - similarly Faber was first team and he's not in the HB list either.

I wonder if NJ fans stuffed the ballot box more than Sabres fans?

 

[Fjordy]

Hughes has had a very impressive season and is very young so it's not surprising to see him in the top 10.

 

[RabidBadger]

Hobey selection is pretty peculiar sometimes. I think Hughes gets the nod because of his offensive output as a frosh. I think he's a worthy candidate, but the voters don't give freshman the shine they deserve traditionally.

[old kummelweck]

Uconn strikes first. Kind of ugly.

 

[old kummelweck]

NEU gets make-up call. Scores on PP. 1-1.

 

[Fjordy]

1-1

 

[Chainshot]

So is this a real dogfight?




I'll show myself out.

 

[old kummelweck]

Raycroft is kind of an idiot. Back-hand complient to Levi on his size not being a problem "at this level'.

 

[Fjordy]

OMG! Levi so good

 

[old kummelweck]

Levi just stoned uconn on a short-handed break-away. This guys is a gamer.

 

[Fjordy]

Levi's team doesn't help him much at all.

 

[Chainshot]

Ooof, that's going to be hard to overcome.

 

[Fjordy]

Awful team
