It's too bad the team while watching Woo and Focht couldn't have signed Zamula to a ELC. That kids got some promise.

Jet Woo looks like he might one day be as good as Alex Biega

Canucks... if you need a WHL scout give me a shout :popcorn:

What?!?! Are saying some kids scouted as 17/18 year olds don't make it as NHLers? And that you can predict which prospects will fulfill their potential?!

Goddam my man, where have you been?

Just messen around.....was looking back for some info on Zamula as i remembered i liked that kid. -10 in almost 20 minutes so not exactly much to brag about. The Woo thing made me laugh though. I wanted Ryan McLoed so i was a little jaded.

FYI. Vilmer Alriksson just scored a goal but Guelph is still getting shelled 5-1 against Flint

Lots of very poor starts to the season. Really only Mynio and Willander producing at acceptable/projectable levels amongst the CHL/NCAA/Euro group.

Yes sucks to not have a bunch of quality picks to follow. Mynio and Willander are the important one's anyway. I do think Alriksson needs a little bit of a pass as his team is abysmal at scoring and he can't leech off anybody at this stage. His camp was good and 6'6 235 lb guys that can fly don't grow on trees. Could be a good 3rd liner one day. Patterson has disappointed big time...might just be the name?? lol

Mynio though is a big story to date he has blown the projection doors open with his advanced play. Since camp he's just rollin in the right direction big time. Wanted to see him live but Seattle don't come to Langley till December 1st and i'm away on Vacay. Plus i missed the opener. Gonna try to head out to Abby soon.

Edit: Hopefully Luchanko helps Guelph and Alriksson score some goals

Watching the one game, it looked to me that Alriksson was on the third line and 2nd pp unit but not sure if it was always like this. Didn't see his line mates generating much for him and he wasn't counted on much to score for the team when they were looking for offense. I doubt coach Stillman puts them together but we'll see.

Just some of the recordings I got from Dorrington's game last night. I'm going to see if I can get a shift-by-shift of him for today's game but no promises.

Things that stand out about his game is that he's just a mean player who isn't afraid to throw a open ice hit. Also, he is more than comfortable joining the rush as a defenseman.

If/when I get the shift-by-shift I'll let people judge on their own. But to me he has good gap control and can angle a guy out in addition to having great physical tools. He is big and plays big.

Thanks for this it's hard to get much on Dorrington.

His skating size/strength are intriguing. He's a powerhouse.

Should be an interesting follow as he gets closer to becoming a pro.

No problem!

Also, I think it's funny that the thumbnail that youtube chose was him punching a Maine player in the face :laugh: I didn't even do it on purpose.

Alriksson doesn't seem to be in the line-up for Guelph tonight.

Guelph is down 6-1 to Barrie, and, somehow, Patterson is pointless and a -1.
 

Here is the shift-by-shift (ish) for Dorrington vs Maine 10.27.2024. It has been a while since making one of these so bear with me and I had to rush a bit. I had to cut some of the shifts short since I don't want to get dinged with a copy right strike.

Some big hits from Dorrington this game. Maine is a good team and won both games this weekend so it was a good test. Dorrington seemed a lot more chippy than he did last game and flattened some players. He was on for all 2 Maine goals but I don't think they were his fault.

Aside from the hitting and the physicality, at this level, his transition game is quite good. He can stay calm and move the puck out of his own zone either via skating the puck out or a quick outlet pass. I don't think the offensive tools are there for Dorrington to be a big time scorer but that isn't his game. But the fact that he can clearly play defense and transition the puck out of the zone well at this level is a good sign.

But, watch the video and make up your own mind. I'm not your dad!

EDIT: Finally got it working

I've had Dorrington as my most under-reported/under-hyped Canuck prospect for a while.

It looks like there's a lot to work with there and a competive/physical mentality. Sometimes you get an NCAA guy who totally sneaks through under-the-radar because they don't get PP time to put up eye-catching hockey card stats, like Victor Mancini for NYR this year.

I agree, but it's quite surprising considering that he does put up some highlight moments with his physicality. I suspect that his stock within fans is going to go up as more people start paying attention to him. Dave Hall from Canucks Army recently put up a small highlight package of his on his twitter. I might do the same since I have the footage from this weekend anyway (if I have time).

I watched some of his film and he does seem to move well and hits like a truck, but he reminds me a little of Juulsen with his decision making and sometimes going at of his way to hit when he shouldn’t.
