The jump pic

So now we have three #1 D: Dahlin, Power, and Bobby Orr.

His knee seems ok. He wouldn’t jump like that if he was badly hurt.

Word around the Q about his level of toughness is that he would jump like that if he had one leg and it was broken

Can I just jump in here to say how much I like the Remparts logo and jerseys.

Saw them live some years back in Le Colisee. It was a blast.

Great pic BTW

Quebec continued it's strong play with another win last night. VK was on for one of Rochette's goals for (the first) and the only Seattle goal, but generally played his solid defensive game. He was pissed at himself for the goal against:

Just because we didn’t have to sign him yet - and he was a 5th round pick. He can’t play in Rochester next year so our org doesn’t gain anything by getting him under contract now vs next year. There are valid points to signing him now as @HOOats mentioned. I also didn’t say it was a bad thing, just noting that KA is aggressive signing these guys early. I’m not predicting anything bad with this player - but it’s becoming a trend with KA. It could backfire, it might not.

Just wanted to circle back to this momentarily - Komarov is now the 11th player from his draft class taken in the 5th round or later who has signed an ELC so just about 11% thus far. It does seem teams are more willing to sign later picks than ever before.

have the quebec games been on nhl network? I set the memorial cup games to tape, but so far I've only collected kamloops/peterborough.

Interesting. I’d be curious to see how many of those are overagers

Didn't we suspect that would happen with COVID? Late sleepers.

If I’m reading correctly they should be on today at 9 eastern. If they win they should advance to the championship game. But I get turned around a lot on these things.

Yeah, if they win, they will have the best record in the pool at 3-0 and get a bye to the final. Peterborough needs this game to not be eliminated outright.

They announced at puck drop that the Remparts are already through to the final since they've beaten both Kamloops and Seattle.

More than not: 6 guys who are currently 19, 3 who are 20, and only 2 who are 21 of the 11. Adding in 4th rounders signed pushes it up to 15 signees, 7 are 19 year olds. Third round... it goes up to 15 19-year olds out of the 25 signed guys.

 

[Chainshot]

I still think he looks like he could be one of Peters' distant cousins.

 

[Chainshot]

Dodging hits to start, first shift.

 

[Ace]

Just got hurt

 

[Chainshot]

And he's hurt. :I

 

[Chainshot]

Off to the lockerroom after taking a hit from the Petes' Stillman.

 

[Chainshot]

Looks like he hurt his arm. Hopefully he's back.

 

[Chainshot]

Back on the bench -

 

[Ralonzo]

Stillman is one dirty mf as he headhunts Rochette on the wall. No call. Kea and JST slumming tonight?

Komarov back on the ice.

 

[Chainshot]

Same guy who hit Komarov just pinned Rochette's head to the dasher.

 

[Ralonzo]

This is like watching Rochester vs Hershey reffing, where Quebec is playing the part of Rochester.

That sequence with Gaucher getting hauled down but he comes out of it with a tripping penalty was certainly something.

 

[Chainshot]

Something I really appreciate about how VK plays is that he's always scanning off puck for where opponents are relative to him, the net, and the puck. He doesn't get mesmerized by puck watching at this level.

 

[Chainshot]

Oh man, loses an edge and the Petes convert on the turnover to take a 1-0 lead.

 

[Ralonzo]

Ouch. Komarov as last man back screws himself into the ice for the giveaway leading to a short-ice 3-on-0 goal.
