Thanks Ransku!

I was just posting in the prospect thread.

perunovich looks really good. Neighbors seems like a good all around player, always around the play. Not a whole lot else of note thus far?

Hmm. Which are out lineup?

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Wouldn’t be surprised if we give Perunovich every chance to make club.

 

[Ranksu]

Kids are humming. 3-3

 

[542365]

Stop me if you've heard this one before: The Leafs have coughed up a 3-0 lead.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Leafs played yesterday. Once we got in synch we look good.

 

[Ranksu]

Perunovich looks good. Interesting to see what he looks vs pros.

Still doesn't like his skating at all. He is agile as hell, lateral skating top notch, but meh overall speed imo

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

48 in Blue is best player on ice for either team. By far.

His good areas you highlighted are more important than top speed.

His good areas you highlighted are more important than top speed.

With that speed you don't any time to to use those attributes in NHL level.

But you can't teach hockey IQ, but you can teach skating.

I'm just buffled how that small player that slow.

Agreed, but he's also several years older than a lot of these guys. Looks very good though.

Not sure what you mean. His agility and acceleration and stop/start and turns look great. Those are what you need.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Sure. Big range of ages but he is on older side. He should stand out. I’d be worried if he didn’t look great. But he does. Looking forward to seeing how he looks against pros.

Yes he is really good in those, but when he has puck and carry the puck up his top speed isn't there. Same as top speed without puck.

Interesting to see how he looks vs pro's. Than we can re-evaluate his position.

Watched only 3rd period, but how did Neighbours looked?

 

[Mike Liut]

How is Perunovich’s defending?

Watched only 3rd period, but how did Neighbours looked?

Good not great. my initial read is he looks to have promise but needs more time.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

How is Perunovich’s defending?

He looked really good. Granted Matthews and Marner didn’t play.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Perunovich looked real good, gotta rewatch a few more times to watch the other players. Perunovich definitely looks like he's on the cusp of either being a bottom pairing defender, or a call up ready defender. A year in the AHL would do him well tho.

Perunovichs skating has massively improved. He showcased an elite brain and elite skill set today. I’m way over excited for him right now

 

[Ranksu]

I did not see the third period as I had to coach, but I was not impressed with any of the Blues guys. Too much collapsing unnecessarily and too many players getting caught out of position from rather simple plays.

I was probably the most impressed with Alexandrov as he seemed the most poised on the ice. I thought he resembled Bozak and he certainly seemed like that today, albeit a raw version.

Thanks.

Can you give your take on Perunovich?

 

[Ranksu]

Have to say short sample, but Laferrierre had wheels such a tall guy.
