Looked like a shoulder to shoulder check

Oilers player throwing punches and they even it up

 

[AtomicJets]

Yager has taken over this game

 

[surixon]

Yager just can't buy a goal today.

 

[bustamente]

Only started watching the 2nd and yes Yager's play is very encouraging. Be interesting to see him at main camp

A little bit unlucky, but he is all around the puck every shift.

A little bit unlucky, but he is all around the puck every shift.

He’s also winning a lot of faceoffs. It’s nice to have a natural center in the pipeline

Looked like a clean hit

Then the guy dropped his mitts and started chucking. Should have been instigator, fighting major and misconduct

Agreed. He is looking like a very promising prospect for us. Very happy with the McGroarty trade.

 

[Shlep]

He was on the ice but definitely didn't touch the puck.

Yeah I had it backwards, He (player) wasn't on the ice but was announced as having assisted on the goal, Yager was on but nowhere near the play. Zhilkin and Chibrikov assisted.

 

[surixon]

Agreed. He is looking like a very promising prospect for us. Very happy with the McGroarty trade.

Looking like a two-way top 6 center in the Brian Little mold.

 

[bustamente]

Barlow's mitts fail him again

 

[bustamente]

Barlow decides he can't score so might as well fight

 

[Scheifele55]

Barlow definitely needs another year in the OHL followed by a year in the AHL.

Barlow definitely needs another year in the OHL followed by a year in the AHL.

Barlow is brutal. Can't skate and not too puck smart.

 

[Scheifele55]

Barlow is brutal. Can't skate and not too puck smart.

Thankfully he is only 19 and has time to develop. Winnipeg thankfully won't rush him to the NHL and he will have lots of time to develop.

 

[bustamente]

Nikkanen tips the second goal from Barlow

 

[Scheifele55]

I would like to hear thoughts on the performance of Dmitriy Kuzmin and Hunter Mayo. Do you see Kuzmin playing in the AHL full time? Did the Jets sign Hunter Mayo? If not, do you think they should? I am impressed with his performance.

 

[bustamente]

Kevin He skates real well and finishes his checks

 

[gojetsgo]

we did another win!

 

[cbcwpg]

Anytime you can beat anyone wearing an Oilers jersey... it's a good thing.

 

[KingBogo]

Kevin He skates real well and finishes his checks

He was one of the better prospects in this tournament. Also only 18. The kid looks like he will be a player one day.

 

[Shlep]

Zhilkin had a really strong tournament I thought.

Kevin He skates real well and finishes his checks

He had some really weak passes, like not necessarily the wrong plays just not enough weight on the pass and they got intercepted as a result. Definitely a buzzsaw and fast in a straight line.

 

[bustamente]

Another win is nice but overall it's great to see we have some real good prospects and some that need some work, bring on TC.

Zhilkin had a really strong tournament I thought.

Yup thought he was one of our better players along with Lambert and He.

Some clips from today:

Feisty Chibrikov | Liwiski big hit | Anhorn one to watch | Torgersson goal | Thomas Milic battler | Anhorn hit | Colby Barlow pugilit | Nikkanen goal | Yager faceoff efficiency | Combined shutout |

Yager just can't buy a goal today.

Likely that he’s feeling some pressure. Knows who he was traded for and is likely overthinking/griping the stick a little too hard. Good to see him in some actual exhibition games with NHL players
