Absolutely is, learn the rules.

Yeah possession just means making a play on the puck, not an inadvertent touching of the stick. Hagens intentionally made a play on the puck and hence it being blown down.

Kangas is truly old school. 1980's d man.

I love him lol

Brodie is another very underrated prospect. I like him a lot.

Kid works his nuts off out there. As a Canadian it’s hard not to respect him. Feels like one of those guys who will be a better pro than a lot of his higher drafted teammates will be. I think Perrault is one who will struggle to translate his scoring to the NHL level.

Kinda shutter thinking of next year where Connelly and Eiserman are likely your two marquee forwards. Then the following year well let’s just hope they get passed Latvia.

Everything about Eiserman screams your prototypical Masshole lol like he screams colonial privilege. Great shooter but he’s a true one trick pony right now. Do you think he has true NHL upside? Or more of a tweener like Wahlstrom?

Next years chances live and die with whatever Hagens decides to do

Can’t see him staying at BC without Leonard and Perreault though. The ncaa is in trouble for the next couple of years, very little high end American talent coming in. Berchild probably the best of the bunch over the next couple of seasons.

This is a definitely a good take. That was my biggest issue with Perreault and why I felt Leonard was a better prospect. Don’t get me wrong, the guy could absolutely take off professionally. But, I have always seen Perreault has a guy with some risks attached.
