I get it.
It's very difficult to teach hockey IQ. Ostlund has it. I think it way more important than size.

Preparing PHASE TWO!
Ultimately, the CCHA isn't a very good league anymore since the bigger schools broke off into the Big Ten and NCHC. An AHL caliber player should be completely dominating that level, and I'm not sure 1.0 PPG and a so-so +/- fits the bill - I suspect Buffalo wants him to go back for his senior season and try to build on this past season.

Six-0 final, Levi with his sixth shutout. Slaggert had the other goal - good night for the depth guys to all get back in the mix they’ve got a home and HOME with Syracuse coming up tomorrow and Sunday

How's Levi coming along? I've noticed you've been a bit down on him at times. Do you think he can be a 1b next year? I haven't been to any games this year, unfortunately.
Nice. Since January 10th, Ostund's stat line:
GP: 29
G: 15
A: 14
Pts: 29
+17

I would like to say all is rosy but I am not sure there has been much improvement in his rebound control which I think is his biggest NHL issue. He's got great reflexes and his quickness and lateral movement are top notch. But he's had a couple lulls and the recent one here -
... had some clunky, clunky games. To point fingers and lay blame, he lost them both games in Laval IMO. There were some real turds in those GA (4 I would like him to stop) against the team they are trying to catch for the division lead. It bothered me, probably more than it should.
It's interesting watching his production go from being helping Rosen's heater to being the guy making it happen on his own. Like, is there some Aho there? There might be some Aho there. And I don't want to be excited because it's the Sabres but man... would that be nice.

Underway in Syracuse -
Running 11-7 with Prow drawing in. Wahlberg at 3C is new but with a shortened group of forwards, I expect they will get rotated around a lot. Helenius as RW2 tonight beside Jobst at center and Rousek at LW.

Brannstrom!
Amerks kill a penalty to Wahlberg. He comes out of the box, does a corner shoot in that Ostlund recovers but gets buried passing it to Jobst. Jobst cuts to the net and on the rebound Brannstrom buries another, his fifth as an Amerk.

Also, no surprise that Sandstrom is in net with the 3-in-3 and Levi having gone last night. I assume he goes tomorrow again.
Just to point out, this team is so much more enjoyable to watch. It isn't a matter of them being the affiliate, I went to school outside of Rochester and have had a soft spot for them my entire adult life. They just play the right way.
