Did anyone see the Athanasiou goal highlight form last night? It was the highlight of the night on TSN, absolutely filthy. He needs to keep it up. By all accounts he hasnt been a problem in the room either
Yeah, quite a goalDid anyone see the Athanasiou goal highlight form last night? It was the highlight of the night on TSN, absolutely filthy. He needs to keep it up. By all accounts he hasnt been a problem in the room either
AA's second goal was quite a beaty. Here's the highlights, assist on the first goal, goals at 0:42 and 1:33: http://www.ontariohockeyleague.com/v...0044c9bbd0e280
Isn't London coached by one of the Hunter's? Not really a shock that a high-skill player wouldn't get along with those guys and get labeled as "lazy" or "locker room cancer". That's the typical Hunter MO for high-skill players who don't fit well into their tidy little inflexible system.
Sproul was -3, but really couldn't do anything for those goals. It was mainly his right side defensive parther who was humiliated in 3-1 (by Galchenyuk) and 4-1 goals. The first one was maybe a bad decision from Sproul to go behind the goal.
If Sproul is playing regulary on the left side as a right handed defenceman, it's not the easiest job defensively. I'm 100% sure he will have easier life as right-side, right-handed defenceman at next season in Grand Rapids.
A lot of defensemen prefer to play on their offside. It puts their stick in the middle of the ice opening up better angles to make passes. Only drawback is playing pucks along the boards on their backhand but if they play there enough they can easily adapt to it. Then of course is the added benefit of one timers

4 games. Of course, he'll be at the WJC for all of those, so it doesn't look like he's actually getting punished.Wonder if Huberdeau ends up suspended for practically body slamming the linesman, especially considering the official seems to have been hurt. Might be a concussion.
Team White d-pairings for intra-squad games: Harrington-Ouellet; Pelech-Murphy; Pouliot-Sproul
Team White lines for intra-squad game: Hudon-Strome-Ritchie; Catenacci-Jenner-Rattie; Monahan-Graovac-McNeill; Shinkaruk
Team Red d-pairings for intra-squad game: Rielly-Hamilton; Wotherspoon-Corrado; Reinhart-Dumba
Team Red lines for intra-squad game: Huberdeau-Nugent-Hopkins-Scheifele; Drouin-MacKinnon-Lipon; Camara-Danault-Wilson; Beauvillier
Ouellet is paired with Harrington
Sproul paired with Pens 8th overall pick Pouliot
I take it Rielly-Hamilton Harrington-Ouellet are more or less locks, so the fight is for the 5th and 6th D place (and 1 extra defenseman)
I read that Sproul, Murphy and Pouliot are all rotating on the same pairing with Pelech. Murphy and Sproul are the ones really battling for the PP QB spot.
As a Canada fan I like the Ouellet Harrington pairing because they did play great together in the summer, but I wonder if it would be better to put one with Hamilton and one with Rielly. Rielly and Hamilton are both the style where they like to roam and take chances. Might be better to balance them out with guys like Harrington and Ouellet.
I was actually writing a post about Sproul in the team Canada thread and when you really think about it he has come a ridiculously long way.
Didnt start playing in the OHL until part way through his draft year. He climbed from a non OHLer to a decently high second rounder in about three quarters of a season. The year after that he led the OHL in goals for D men and now this season he is tearing the OHL apart and making a good bid to be on team Canada in a lock out year.
The distance he has came in 2 years is ridiculous lol
