Lol, two posters who have never watched Mazur play are arguing with the guy who literally watched him in person.... about what he didnt see....based on them looking at rosters and box scores....welcome to HFBoards!

Heaven forbid two posters have a conversation about a player on a message board. I've seen every single on of Mazur's shifts this season by the way

You must be a DU student or season ticket holder that travels with the team, a member of the staff, his parent, or actually on the team. Either way, maybe it was just the game I saw with the teams playing in the big arena with a nearly sold out Ball Arena? Nerves and adrenaline right?
I was sharing observations based on the CC game. I have seen only two of DU’s games this year and the other was way early in the season.
 
No longer our prospect but nice to see: Filip Larsson is having a really good, and most importantly healthy, season in the Allsvenskan. 0.925 save-% on a bottom-4 team and has started 34/39 of their games. Should attract some SHL interest for next season, or at least from top Allsvenskan teams.

Have no idea what that chart means, but I was listening radio broadcast last game and commentator was telling how good Edvinsson was at clearing around the net. That's something is clearly we need in Detroit. Starting with Howard it's nightmare for goaltenders to play for Detroit.

Here's one you don't see very often. Gylander's Colgate pulled him at the end of the 2nd period with 3 seconds left on an offensive zone faceoff... And they gave up a goal. 3-1 loss but he only gave up one goal as they scored another empty netter at the end.

Trying to watch Mazur and Buium , both kinda meh, , but what a penalty shot by Hunter McKown
 
1 goal and 2 assists for Lombardi last night.(9-5 loss)

I watched the game. His skating continues to stand out, along with some electric puck handling moves. Very patient in and around the net. Displayed on his goal where he skated cross crease and grabbed a loose puck and dragged it all the way to the other side of the net and tucked it passed the goalie, instead of just trying to bang it home.

He definitely drives the play with his possession game and I was impressed with his shot.

Could have worked harder without the puck at times. And sometimes over stick handled, got in trouble and threw the puck away wildly. But overall showed off his impressive skill set last night.

Also did an interview between periods. Very smart, personable and well spoken kid for sure.

Don't worry. That'll get beaten out of him so he becomes an obedient chip in/chip out robot.

Thanks for the report. I wonder what his odds are of sticking at center as a pro. His strengths and weaknesses lend themselves more to him moving to the wing, imo, but I'm always curious to see if a center prospect who skates well can stay in the middle as a pro.

Do you just not believe in creative centers out of principle or is it looking at everyone through the LFG lense?

Ha. It's difficult to be an effective top-6/skill center in the NHL is all. The odds of getting to that point are always stacked against kids like Lombardi. They often have to move off the position because, even though they're tearing it up in Canadian juniors, they don't actually have the creativity/responsibility/IQ/skill to be a top-6ish center in the NHL. Best case is that Lombardi breaks the mold, sticks at center, and turns out to be a wild success. I'm not holding my breath though.

Well it probably doesn't help the development a lot to convert skill centers to wingers or LFG clones in their late teens and then somehow expect them to be skill centers in their mid 20s. See Veleno, Joe.

It would be amazing if Lombardi could become a top 6 center but it's unlikely. He still has great wheels and a motor on par with Marco Kasper if he can't become a skilled top 6 center. He's a guy that I think has the ability to be successful as a bottom 6 center as well.

Is that what happened to Veleno? His lack of offense and not really showing top-6 upside as a pro was because three different pro teams worked to turn him into LFG? Hmmm.

Hey, maybe he turns into one of those top-6 caliber players we can plug into the bottom-6 for a while, like nick is hoping for. Who knows.
