Player Notes
I started taking player notes years ago, and created the Hockey Prophets website as a way to always have quick access to them. You have access to them, too. There are currently nearly 1,450 players noted in the archive, with more than 9.300 notes.
The Hockey Prophets Player Notes are a continually updated archive of notes taken while closely watching individual players during game action. Players are observed for key attributes such as skating ability, play recognition, shot quality, vision, defensive positioning, and more. An important thing to understand is that despite watching roughly 200 hockey games a year, I do not take notes on all games. If a player does not have specific notes in the archive does not mean that they have not been watched multiple times. It just means that I wasn't taking individual, focused notes on the player at the time.
Below is the complete searchable archive.

Anthony Allain-Samake | Note | Active but responsible. Good acceleration to pop out from the crease area and jump a gap to the puck without giving up a positional advantage or getting caught on the wrong side of the puck. His skating and lateral/backward movement helps a lot with that. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |

Anthony Allain-Samake | Summary | As one of the youngest members of the 2025 NHL draft class (Sept 10 birthdate), he already looks like a well-developed two-way defenseman. Decent frame at 6'0, 165 pounds and looks like a determined player who will get a bit bigger and good bit stronger. Smooth on his feet, smart with and without the puck, active player with good upside. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |
Dayne Beuker | Note | Accelerates with little, choppy steps but he gets going okay. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |

Jackson Crowder | Note | Passing and shot release are a tick too slow, keeping the puck on his stick just a little too long to be effective and opponents are getting sticks on his pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |
Lukas Zajic | Note | Effortless speed. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |

Nikita Klepov | Note | Trying to add some energy to a lackluster powerplay. He's moving, but no one else is. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |
Nikita Klepov | Note | Has very good speed and movement, but he was a step too slow to stick with the speedy Berchild. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |
Nikita Klepov | Note | He is a player who looks like he wants to put the puck on net at every chance. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |

Nikita Klepov | Summary | Sixteen-year-old Russian attacking forward born in Florida. He's 5'11, 161 pounds, quick and hard working, and has a high scoring drive. He uses movement as a weapon, and created several quality chances. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |
Olivers Murnieks | Note | Compact skating up ice, above average speed, okay agility on the move. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |

Olivers Murnieks | Note | The fact that he is centering the top penalty kill unit late in a close game at just sixteen years old says a lot about his defensize-zone abilities. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |
Olivers Murnieks | Note | Great one-touch feed to the low slot. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |

Olivers Murnieks | Summary | He is a solid-framed player who looks like a work in progress offensively, but a center who has the right game mindset to just keep getting better. His defensive play is excellent, the question is whether he develops better explosiveness with his feet and offensive intensity. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |
Victor Plante | Note | Lost position in the defensive zone, didn't mark his right-point defenseman coverage who dropped in, got a pass from the strong side and scored with a clear, untouched lane to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |
Victor Plante | Note | One-hands a puck to try to chip it past Allain-Samake at the point, then hustles up and takes advantage of a misplay by the point defender, creates a clean breakaway, short-side top corner goal. Good short-handed hustle. | Brian Fogarty | Sioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL) | 10/12/2024 | 11/13/2024 | 10325 |
German Suzdorf | Note | Big, tall kid who moves well and has fast hands. | Brian Fogarty | Dynamo Moskov vs SKA-1946 St Petersburg | 10/10/2024 | 11/7/2024 | 10324 |
German Suzdorf | Note | Gathers the puck below his own goal line, passes up the boards then chases after, collects a bobbling puck just inside the blue line and continues up the boards, through the neutral zone and into the offensive zone with speed. Drags the puck around a sliding defender and from the offensive goal line, feeds a pass back into the high slot for a beautiful chance, but the shot gets deflected up and away. | Brian Fogarty | Dynamo Moskov vs SKA-1946 St Petersburg | 10/10/2024 | 11/7/2024 | 10324 |

Ivan Arkhipov | Note | Size, good defensive posture with constant scanning. | Brian Fogarty | Dynamo Moskov vs SKA-1946 St Petersburg | 10/10/2024 | 11/7/2024 | 10324 |

Ivan Arkhipov | Note | Tires to pass through three defenders when there was a clear shooting lane to the net. He had a better chance to get the puck to his teammate via a low shot rebound than being able to complete that pass attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Dynamo Moskov vs SKA-1946 St Petersburg | 10/10/2024 | 11/7/2024 | 10324 |
Ivan Ryabkin | Note | Generates speed easily, very good acceleration and burst on the move. | Brian Fogarty | Dynamo Moskov vs SKA-1946 St Petersburg | 10/10/2024 | 11/7/2024 | 10324 |

Ivan Ryabkin | Summary | Ryabkin is quick, with great vision and passing ability, even while under pressure and can create in traffic. He has a lot of development to do, and I did not see him create his own chance on net, but he looks like a player who could become an excellent NHL playmaker. | Brian Fogarty | Dynamo Moskov vs SKA-1946 St Petersburg | 10/10/2024 | 11/7/2024 | 10324 |

Kurban Limatov | Summary | Skates well with good speed, lateral movement and plays a sound positional defensive game for a draft-year player. He looks like he could become a quality NHL defender due to his physical prowess and smart zone play. | Brian Fogarty | Dynamo Moskov vs SKA-1946 St Petersburg | 10/10/2024 | 11/7/2024 | 10324 |

Adam Benak | Summary | Benak has it all, but at 5'7 there will be a lot of shy NHL general managers who will select lessor but bigger talent. One day, Benak will make them suffer for their lack of bravery. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/9/2024 | 10/18/2024 | 10323 |

Arvid Drott | Note | Great size, he's a big kid. Smooth pivots and edges, too. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/9/2024 | 10/18/2024 | 10323 |

Jakob Ihs-Wozniak | Note | Good position and steal in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/9/2024 | 10/18/2024 | 10323 |

Jakob Ihs-Wozniak | Note | Moves well, good-looking mechanics. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/9/2024 | 10/18/2024 | 10323 |

Milton Gastrin | Note | Carrying in on a two-on-one, opens his hips and loads the puck until Mrtka commits to defend him, then feeds Klingsell for a beauty goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/9/2024 | 10/18/2024 | 10323 |

Radim Mrtka | Note | So big, takes huge strides and covers a lot of ice with them. IF he develops more agility (he's already okay) and better puck skills (he can already handle and pass), he could be devastating. Otherwise, he's a good stay-at-home, pass-first blueliner. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/9/2024 | 10/18/2024 | 10323 |

Lars Steiner | Note | From a stop, his first push is strong, but then his next couple of steps are a bit choppy. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 9/27/2024 | 10/2/2024 | 10322 |

Lars Steiner | Note | Takes a pass in the neutral zone, shifts left and turns the defender, gets passed him and is in clean for a one-on-one versus the Canadian goaltender, but Ivankovic robs him with the glove.

Matvei Gridin | Note | Unforced icing that will extend an already long shift. He had time and options. Yikes. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Boisvert and Hage matched up for two early faceoffs. Boisvert won both. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Has a potential for a quick odd-man in-zone attack, but instead of attacking the net, he throws a cross-slot pass, deflected away. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Carries into the offensive zone down the center lane, splitting two defenders with a backchecker right on him, battles through a wave of stick checks and goes straight to the net. He tried to pull a backhand around the goalie, toe saved, but the rebound gets banged in. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | On that drive to the net (see previous note), Hage was being hooked and pulled back. He was able to kick the puck with his right foot to his backhand to attempt the shot. Strong balance, coordination, creativity. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | He has fast hands and excellent ability to reconnect with loose pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Lovely nutmeg pass to the cutter in the low slot. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Very good on his skates when he has the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Killing penalties with active feet and stick. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Curls up ice when he should have been stopping and covering the d-zone low slot. Back to the puck, didn't recognize the threat. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Poke check works to stop the breakout attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Michael Hage | Note | Interesting that Hage isn't taking defensive zone faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Owen Tylec | Note | Nice read and pass to transition though the neutral zone. He shows pretty good speed, then off the puck hard up the center lane. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Owen Tylec | Note | All over Veilleux trying to get the puck in the offensive zone, eventually does and gives to his forward with speed to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Owen Tylec | Note | Really nice work to collect the puck in his zone, settle, and pass out to start a transition attack. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Owen Tylec | Note | Quick. Nice acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Boisvert and Hage matched up for two early faceoffs. Boisvert won both. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Going up ice he looks okay, but the puck reverses and he takes a wide, slow turn to head back to his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Going hard on the back check, but not going fast. After that effort, he was still effective and active in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Yeah, his straightline speed is lacking. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | He's competitive. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | And there is an example of how he will be effective up the levels. Gets knocked down in the offensive zone, but manages to shift the puck to a teammate. Gets up, goes to the net, gets a loose puck. His shovel attempt his a stick, he gets the puck again, flashes it past the goalie. It will always be a battle for him, but he looks up to the challenge. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Good hit against the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Xavier Veilleux | Note | Wrist shot from the point got through a lot of traffic, but kicked out to the corner by the netminder. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Xavier Veilleux | Note | Has a tough time turning and keeping up with Hage. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Xavier Veilleux | Note | Blatant interference as the hits the player who had passed well before the contact. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Xavier Veilleux | Note | Looks better defensively when he establishes position. Then he's strong on his skates, effective with his stick and feet and works to reduce chances. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Xavier Veilleux | Note | Goes back hard and cuts the lane to intercept. Good hustle and a smart line. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/3/2024 | 6/6/2024 | 10317 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Smooth edges, nice lateral movement and turning radius. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s) | 4/28/2024 | 6/5/2024 | 10316 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Shoulders and next are hunched over when he skates. Not great form. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s) | 4/28/2024 | 6/5/2024 | 10316 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Has the puck right corner offensive zone, carries up, reverses and shakes his man, then a quick pass to an open teammate. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s) | 4/28/2024 | 6/5/2024 | 10316 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Active with his stick, he's fast to try to regain possession if his team loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s) | 4/28/2024 | 6/5/2024 | 10316 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Shows very good agility, but he looks uncomfortable in the offensive zone off the puck. He moves, trying to find a spot, but he's not attacking. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s) | 4/28/2024 | 6/5/2024 | 10316 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Playing such a passive game. I just want him to get his nose in there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switzerland (2024 World U-18s) | 4/28/2024 | 6/5/2024 | 10316 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Tracks back keeping pace with the US rush, goes to the corner with the puck carrier, pins him and takes the puck away. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Smooth pivot and edges, able to change speeds with a step. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Carrying up the right boards, gets cut off by Emery who had a good angle, but Gridin didn't look like he was going hard, either. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Puck doesn't stay on his stick for long, and sometimes he just throws it away to an area seemingly hoping a teammate might be there. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Looks like he plays at maybe three-quarter speed on offense, and half-speed at best on defense. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Nice pass to split the pressure and give his center a look at goal. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Glides through the offensive zone and into the slot, then shoots one-time, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Not involved on defensive zone play at all. Super slow to get back. Zero urgency. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | In the defensive zone, standing near the right circle, puck chips into the right corner and he doesn't go after it, but instead just wathes as Eiserman collects, curls towards him. Gridin inexplicably backs away from Eiserman and gives him a clear lane to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Good passer when he has a target in mind | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Note | Looks like he has no interest in playing defense | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Matvei Gridin | Summary | He has size and puck skills that could get him to the NHL, but his mindnumbing lack of effort and sometimes negative effort in the defensive zone, coupled with his no-vision puck movement leaves me wondering if he'll be a viable prospect. He has a lot of work to do to correct mental and effort issues. | Brian Fogarty | Muskegon vs USNTDP (USHL) | 4/6/2024 | 6/4/2024 | 10315 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Lots of jump, engaging in puck battles, mostly by digging with his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Gets a clean breakaway because he is too fast for the defender to stay with. Goes backhand, forehand, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | A little stiff and upright when not in motion, his lateral movement is stilted because of it. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | A couple of times he has held the puck too long, wanting to skate into areas instead of passing and then moving off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | He's a much better skater when he's on the move. He looks so much more comfortable at speed then at a standstill, when his edgework in tight spaces is suspect. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Gets the puck in the neutral zone, drives and dangles but can't get a clean shot away. Carries behind the net, out the left side, around the top, then throws the puck at the net. Not once did he look for passing options. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Good chip and chase player because he's super fast and he wants the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Penalty kill duty. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Again, holds longer than he should, skating into trouble and then pitchforking the puck to no one. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | A burst of speed gets him first to the puck, then into the offensive zone, shot, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Too often he is the first player out of his offensive zone and the last one to get back. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Had a good chance to throw a shoulder into the puck carrier coming up the wall, but instead he just tried to stick check him and then watched as he just skated right on by. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Note | Another instance of him holding the puck too long, skating from low right circle, up across the top into the slot. But this time he rifles a shot back against his flow and over the goalie's shoulder to tie the game with 35 seconds remaining. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Andrew Basha | Summary | His shot is good, no doubt, but he was a major puck hog all game long. He passed when he had to, but often it was after he had skated himself out of room and had nowhere to go. Hungry for the puck in the offensive zone, and elite speed, but the rest of his game was infuriating to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL) | 4/2/2024 | 5/31/2024 | 10314 |
Adam Hesselvall | Note | Gets the puck off the neutral zone faceoff, fights to get into the offensive zone, stick battling all the way, and gets a shot off on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Adam Hesselvall | Note | His edgework is very good, and he uses it to make positional corrections. Easy acceleration even if his top speed is only a bit above average at best. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Adam Hesselvall | Note | Ugly pass back while in the neutral zone that became a perfect breakaway opportunity the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Adam Hesselvall | Note | Gets way out of position trying to block a shot and allows Ritchie uncontended crease access for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Adam Hesselvall | Note | Going hard up the ice to try to chase down a puck, but Iginla is able to easily gain the extra step. Behind the net, Hesselvall is able to steal the puck, but he throws a pass right down the middle back towards his own end and perfectly launches a clean breakaway for Canada. Oh, boy. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Adam Hesselvall | Note | Gets the headman pass but doesn't have the wheels to split the defenders. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Adam Hesselvall | Summary | Had moments where he looked effective, but too many moments where mental errors hurt his team. He could be a serviceable mid-line forward if he can clean up the mistakes, but I was not a fan of his hockey iq. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Good play to step around the puck carrier on the boards and seal off his path, got his body right into the hands. Well done. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Again, really nice positioning to takeaway a reception opportunity for the Swedish forward. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Holds behind his net for a line change, then starts a breakout with a long, in-stride pass up the right boards. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Holds for the forecheck contact, passes up the corner to Iginla. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Pinches in on the right boards, uses his shoulder and body positioning to force the puck to the blue line, then when the puck comes back he works hard to keep the puck in deep with some good stickwork. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Super attentive to the play, keeps getting himself into great position on the ice to maximize affect. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Blasts the Swedish forward below the goal line. That was a glass-rattling hit. Created a turnover, then he was fast up ice to join the rush. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Note | Saw the hit coming but made the right play and took the hit. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Charlie Elick | Summary | Big, solid defender who made good plays all game. Excellent positional defense and some offensive abilities. Likely tops out as a middle-pair, reliable blueliner in the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Gabriel Eliasson | Note | Tall player, moves pretty well on his edges though. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Gabriel Eliasson | Note | Is not shy about physical contact at all. Big kid who uses his size. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Gabriel Eliasson | Note | Top penalty killing unit for Sweden. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Gabriel Eliasson | Note | Crosschecks Wetsch to the ice after the whistle. Later on the same shift, he throws a late hit after the whistle that would have marked the start of a Sweden powerplay. That's a big mental error while down 3-0. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | Calls to his D partner to pass up the boards, but the puck gets passed into his feet instead. Brunicke wasn't expecting that, and had a hard time with the puck, which was then stolen by a Swedish forward, but Brunicke steps up and levels him with a solid shoulder check. Good body leverage there with only one step to generate it. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | Excellent hockey stop and reversal. Strong on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | Long reach allowed him to get to the overthrown pass and keep the play pushed up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | Has the speed to get back to retrieve pucks, but shows good sense on when to allow a teammate to get there and instead take up a better defensive position. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | Out to kill the five-minute major. Blocks the Fernstrom slapper. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | A minute and half on that penalty kill shift, blocked shot at the end of the shift. He's a warrior. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | Long seam pass catches Brunicke a step off, but he hustles back to cut off the attacker options. George made the save, but Brunicke made his job much easier. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Note | Killing the penalty to protect a one-goal lead with three minutes left. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Harrison Brunicke | Summary | Brunicke is a minute chewing, tough-as-nails defender who can help his team win games. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | I'm not watching Luchanko, but he continues to impress me. Just won a key defensive-zone faceoff. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | Bumps the player into the boards. Takes his out of the play but that could have been an interference call. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | Takes a big hit from Aicheson, and he's slow to get up. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | Just sort of loping around the ice. Lagging the play at both ends. Is he still a bit off after that hit? | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | Has good size but his feet look heavy. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | Looked a bit more lively there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | Second unit powerplay, but still looks unenthused on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Karl Sterner | Note | In the slot, working at the front of Canada's goal where he doesn't have to skate much, he looks more effective. Stick ready, highly alert. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Linus Eriksson | Note | Working a lot on that shift but not accomplishing much. Mostly just chasing the puck in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Linus Eriksson | Note | Above average speed. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Linus Eriksson | Note | Good read and puck recovery in the offensive zone, head up, finds an open player across the ice with a perfect pass for the one-timer goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Linus Eriksson | Note | First out for the five-minute powerplay. Carries in left side, rim around to no-one at the right point. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Linus Eriksson | Note | Tries to outskate Iginla, but no joy for Eriksson. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Got a quick shift in. Looked good skating, but he's had almost no ice time in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Marek Vanacker | Note | Gets another shift, this one after having served Marelli's five-minute penalty. Good edgework, hustled. That's a tough job to sit for most of the game as the 13th forward and then have to go full out for a shift, with energy and intensity. Did okay, though. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Good takeaway, but then he shovels a pass into his teammate's skates and gives the puck back to Canada. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Skating looks good, hips are a bit slow to get around but his edges are good. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Straightline speed looks pretty good, simple stride to match the attacker's speed. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Out on the ice after the Swedish time out. Good head-up pass to the slot but the puck hops past the one-timer attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | One-timer low kicked out to the corner. Then another one wide. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | He will use physical play to make his opponents move the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | I'd like to see some more urgency from him at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Showing that nice one-timer, but saved. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Moving the puck well on the powerplay, shooting when he can, but passing to better options when they are there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Beautiful pass to Sahlin Wallenius attacking the slot. Missed the goal by a sliver of crossbar. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | He's buzzing on the boards, creating some possession time. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | He will rip a one-timer from anywhere. That one was blocked, but Brunicke felt it for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Another sweet feed to the slot, and another sweet save by Carter George. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Melvin Fernstrom | Note | Flow awareness in the offensive zone is great. Excellent offensive iq and vision. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Ollie Josephson | Note | Drives the right side, keeping the puck outside of the defender, makes the turn below the goal line then one-hands a pass to the right dot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Ollie Josephson | Note | Out killing the penalty, movements were quick and efficient. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Ollie Josephson | Note | Another instance when he's able to keep the puck out of reach with one hand while using his other arm to ward off the defender, then one-hands a pass to set up a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Spencer Gill | Note | Good skater with decent backwards speed. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Spencer Gill | Note | Just took a hard hit in the corner and got upended. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Spencer Gill | Note | Excellent ling diagonal breakout pass. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Spencer Gill | Note | Gets caught trying to cut off the Swedish player behind the net, and leaves a Swedish forward alone short side. Goal against. Gill wasn't helped by the D partner who chased to puck behind the net, but Gill needed to be more aware on that one. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/28/2024 | 10313 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Nifty backhand pass releases the breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Gets a loose puck in the offensive zone and snaps a wristshot low that the goalie closed out, but uncontrolled. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Calem Mangone | Note | He's small but fiesty and physical, and he plays in the homeplate area. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Calem Mangone | Note | His balance is excellent, very strong on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Calem Mangone | Note | The epitome of his game: takes a shot left side, hits the post, there's a puck scramble that kicks the puck out right side and he's there to put it back on net. Then the puck goes the other way and he's the first one back to defend. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Calem Mangone | Note | He can really unleash a wrist shot. This time he hits the post again. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Calem Mangone | Summary | He plays an honest game and lives between the dots down low. He'll front up at the crease, battles hard everywhere, shows great agility and balance, and is all around a very good hockey player. I'll be shocked if he doesn't get drafted this year (his draft +1 season). | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lincoln Moore | Note | Straightline looks above average, but agility seems just okay. A little methodical. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lincoln Moore | Note | Pivots are a bit slow and awkward. Speed up ice is okay. 0 - 0.5 | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Note | Puckhandles through the neutral zone, then slides a pass left to the forward with speed. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Note | Big kid, tall, solid frame. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Note | I'm not keen on the way he's just floating around his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Note | Above average speed with those long strides. 0.5 - 1.0 | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Note | Edges are good, although he's not an exciting skater at all. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Note | Way out of position for that goal against. What was he doing? | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Lynden Lakovic | Summary | Big bodied forward that plays an decent game, but too many times he was absent or lost in the offensive zone, and not effective enough in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Michael Misa | Note | Uses his skating ability to back the defender off, all while his eyes are up, using the extra time to find good options. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Michael Misa | Note | Tries to split and dangle through four (4!) Moose Jaw defenders. That did not work. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Michael Misa | Note | Posts up on the left side of the crease, and had an open net, but the Dionicio pass was on his back foot, and by the time he kicked the puck to his stick, the goalie was over and covers. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Michael Misa | Note | Exellent pass to the far side crease. He was looking point until the last second. Should have been a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Michael Misa | Note | Speed is there when he needs it. Not elite level but excellent, no doubt. 2.0 | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Michael Misa | Note | Hustles back to be the first to a loose puck | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Owen Berge | Note | Switches off in the defensive zone, then down to block a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Owen Berge | Note | Lateral movement looks average. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Pavel McKenzie | Note | Speed looks okay, nothing special. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Pavel McKenzie | Note | Good shoulder rub out forces the puck carrier to send the puck deep without coverage. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Pavel McKenzie | Note | Not the best acceleration, there. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Pavel McKenzie | Note | Unnecessary icing, because he missed his pass by ten feet. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Gaps up on Yager just as he enters the offensive zone grabbing a head-man pass, and Parekh takes the puck away from him and immediately starts a counter attack. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Skating is superb, speed and edges. Effortless and fluid on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Pivots are clean and his switch forward to back loses no speed at all. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Closes down Rysavy with relative ease. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Curls back under pressure from Firkus, who then steals the puck but Parekh harasses him back into the corner and his check gets the puck back for Saginaw. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Hustles into the neutral zone, draws a defender and passes forward for a zone entry. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Gets the puck at the left point, steps in then a step to his right to get space and angle, then a hard shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Drops into the left circle and one-times a pass, but his shot wasn't clean. However, he grabs the puck, battles and keeps the play alive. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | His poise with the puck and his vision/awareness is high level. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | His patience with the puck is a weapin and he uses it well. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | His all-way mobility makes him an excellent man-to-man defender. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Flying around the offensive zone creating time and space, wrist shot on the move, tipped in. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Start of the second period, he carries into the zone and draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Parekh and Firkus are going head to head a lot, and so far I'd call it a draw. Fascinating to watch, though. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | One-timer from the high slot area catches the goalie drifting. Parekh recognized the opportunity and pushed back for a shooting lane, opens hips and ready for the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Takes the puck right side, drives below the goal line then out short side and pulls to puck around to make a ridiculous cross crease pass. Is there anything he won't do? | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Note | Gets pasted into the boards by Savoie. That hurt, and Parekh goes off. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Zayne Parekh | Summary | He plays with supreme confidance, does not look afraid of anything. He looks like a player who has always been the best player on the ice, which might make for a tough adjustment early in his pro career, but his talent will allow him to be that at the NHL level, too. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024) | 5/23/2024 | 5/24/2024 | 10312 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Acceleration looks solid, fast-twitch burst to the puck. Straightline stride mechanics are great. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | On the rush, diagonal attack across the offensive zone toward the puck, and when it comes to him he one-touches it on net. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Tries to flick a pass on the rush but it was well behind the left winger. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Puck comes on the rush but his first touch is too hard and the puck skips forward to the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | He's first to all the loose pucks, mostly because he seems to want the puck more than anyone else on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Powerplay in the bumper spot, nice downward deflection attempt but it goes wide. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Opens his hips passes to the middle and then accelerates into a give and go. Draws two defenders and passes back to the pivot man who nearly scores short side. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Trying to go up ice up outskates the pass and leaves the puck behind him for the opponents to pick up off the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Loses his stick, but attacks the puck anyway and tries a back-heel kick pass that should have worked. Super creative, that. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Highly competitive, but goes down easily under contact. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Shot misses wide by a good foot. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Nice one-touch pass finds the best neutral zone option | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | He might cheat up ice, but he doesn't cheat on effort. Big-motor player. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Note | Not afraid to drop down or dive to block a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Nikita Artamonov | Summary | Hard working, always on the go, but his mind sometimes seems to race in front of his body. He showed his creativity and offensive instincts, but also too often tried to one-touch pucks that would have been better to collect. If he can get a better command of his game, his work ethic, speed and flair could take him to the NHL (if he wants it). | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Dynamo (KHL) | 2/2/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10311 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Lots of shoulder swing in his power stride | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Awkward to on defense against a Lindstrom rush, but he gets away with it and sweeps the puck to the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Nice long diagonal pass to the far blue line | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | He can really move in transition, and will get better, too. He's a powerful skater. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | A couple of times on this powerplay sequence he has tried to force a pass through a defender's skates and neither time has it worked. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Right-handed shot playing the left point in the powerplay, but he's moving around the top a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Again passes right at the opponent's feet. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Gets drawn into an after-the-whistle cross checking penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | A turnover in the neutral zone and the puck finds his stick. He leads a two-on-one rush from the left side, holds on his way in looking pass, then shoots--saved--but he follows his shot and buries the rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Another after-the-whistle cross check penalty as he drives a prone Lindstrom down into the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Great job to get his stick down and into the passing lane on the penalty kill. Probably saved a goal there. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | I'm not a fan of his defensive positioning. He's getting out too high, too often. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Note | Risky with his feet and with his passing | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Carter Yakemchuk | Summary | He is a risk-and-reward defender, no question. He sees so much, but his passing at times couldn't translate the play he saw into the play on the ice. Very good skater, good size, lots of physicality, but he made some bad choices and needs work on his overall game awareness, I think. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Nice pin to rivet Yakemchuk to the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Takes the puck off the boards, dangles to the high slot and fires a shot against the grain, but a fine glove save robs him. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Tomas Mrsic | Note | Average speed, finding it difficult to create space with his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Tomas Mrsic | Note | Fairly harmless wrist shot from the blue line that the goalie swallowed up. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Tomas Mrsic | Note | Second-unit penalty killer. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 12/15/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10310 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Moving well laterally and backwards. Skating stride is simple, effortless. Pivots are seamless. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Starts up ice, but the puck kicks back and his change from forward acceleration to backwards retreat was fast and all in his edges. That was a lovely piece of skating. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Looks so well-coordinated for such a young player with that kind of height. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Getting pulled out of position a bit in his own end, but he's not getting a lot of help, either. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Positions his hips and shoulders well in advance of receiving the puck. This allows him to already be in motion when he gets possession. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Trying to skate the puck through the neutral zone. He doesn't look as comfortable carrying as he does passing. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Good step up and poke check to disrupt an attack. He relies on the poke a lot in lieu of a hit, but this time it worked well. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Well-weighted pass gives the attacking forward the chance to maintain speed and enter the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | There's some physical contact. Finally. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Chases his man behind the net and gets burned for it. Tough choice, but he was on the wrong side of the puck and paid for it. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | Offensive zone possession, he does a good job keeping the puck in the zone at the right point, then throwing the puck into the slot area scrums. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Note | He really seems to prefer the step-up poke check to thwart oncoming attacks. He's good at it, but that's a move he will have to dial back. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Anton Silayev | Summary | Big, smooth defender that shows more stay-at-home, first pass skills than a pure transitional or offensive blueliner. He has some work to do to improve on his defensive awareness and holding position, but any chance an NHL team has at a 6'7 blueliner with easy skating and nice hands, they'll jump on. | Brian Fogarty | Torpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL) | 1/29/2024 | 5/23/2024 | 10309 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Kind of a high kick motion up ice, but he's still pretty fast, then nice edges at the slot | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Playing right wing on the top line with Hagens and Stiga | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Drifts back into open space on the left side of the offensive zone with Hagen and Stiga fighting for possession in the right corner, and the puck finds him. Nice shot low that the goalie kicked out, but problematic. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Steals at the blue line, hustles in on net, looking, holding for options to open, then a low far-side wrist shot off the pads, looking for a pad-boune pass. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Nice backhand pass to the pinching defenseman cutting into the slot, but it didn't connect. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Hits the offensive zone right side with speed, then uses a nice, subtle drop pass to create space. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Steals in the neutral zone, goes hard to the net and shows shot, then no-looks to Hagens for the easy open-net goal. Great play. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Out to kill a five-on-three. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Note | Gets a feed from Hagens and he's in on goal. Beats the netminder glove side with a well-targeted, fast release. Pretty shot. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Brodie Ziemer | Summary | He showed effectiveness at both ends of the ice, and was not relying on Hagens to create the plays (although he was willing and able to take advantage when Hagens did). Ziemer isn't flashy, but he makes plays, showed a good shot, and hustled all over. He's going to make a nice, solid professional, I think. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | Puck in the right corner, he slips down into the slot area, gets a pass and tries to snap it on net | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | Shifty with the puck on his stick, helped a lot by top-flight agility and smooth puck handling at motion. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | Under pressure, overhandles, loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | Fight the puck, passes the puck back to a trailer who was well-covered and it’s a breakaway the other direction. Not the best recognition by Hutson. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | Excellent skating gets him back to cover a potential breakaway, but a smart play by the Swiss attacker draws Hutson into an interference penalty. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | Goes back to retrieve, and then just kind of floats for a second and allows a Swiss forechecker to swoop in and take the puck. What was he doing? | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Note | He's good the puck moving forward, but again a kind of half-hearted attempt with the puck and a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Cole Hutson | Summary | He looks like he plays with an arrogance that seems to both help him on the rush and in the offensive zone, but also hurt him at times in the defensive zone. It's almost like he expects to be able to outskate any trouble at any time, and so he isn't working hard from the start. He's talented, no question, but there is some polishing that is needed. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | Top penalty kill unit. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | On the powerplay, transitions out of the zone, carries all the way into the offensive zone. Nice clean zone entry with possession. So calm with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | Circling his own net to buy time and kill the penalty, then he fires the puck deep up ice. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | Puck behind his net, sees the forechecker coming hard, and he absorbs the hit to make a clean, smart pass. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | Out on a four-on-four, full possession in the offensive zone, and he's able to do whatever he wants with the puck. Great puck control, poise, command of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | He's smooth, and changes speeds effectively when carrying the puck. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Note | Nice little backhand flip pass. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Daniil Ustinkov | Summary | He looks best when he has the puck, because he is unruffled and able to keep and use possession no matter what the opposition tries. He will need some hard work in his own end, but if he develops properly, he could become a reliable breakout defensemen with powerplay potential in the professional levels. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
James Hagens | Note | (Not watching) Just took a puck behind the net, faked what looked like the start of a Michigan attempt, the stopped hard and pulled the puck back to try to hit a short-side attempt. It didn't go in, but that was clever, fast and audacious. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
James Hagens | Note | Hagens sees plays that aren't there until he puts the puck into a place on the ice that brings the play into existance. Incredible iq and vision. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Note | His lateral movement is excellent. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Note | Defensive zone, penalty kill faceoff. Wins it. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Note | Top of the penalty kill box, good active stick and he pokes the puck loose and nearly out of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Note | Good forechecking effort. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Note | So smooth on his edges, gives him a lot of easy mobility. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Note | At the crease, trying to work for a deflection. I like his willingness to battle and his stick positioning. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Kamil Bednarik | Summary | He did not show a lot of offensive flair, but he did a lot of things well and showed a competitive nature that will serve him well. He is a quality home-plate player who will muck around in the tight areas of the game, and he has the edgework and balance to be effective in heavy traffic. I liked him. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Note | Switches into the bumper spot on the powerplay, moves so well. Fluid skater. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Note | Second-unit penalty killer for the US team, using his quickness to close on loose pucks. Clears the zone. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Note | Ill-considered backhand at the offensive-zone blue line was a problem, but didn’t bite him too hard as the US squad regained possession. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Note | Missed a defensive read there, but recovered well with footspeed. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Note | Great skating, agile through the neutral zone, creates an entry lane. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Note | Has very good speed, but he's not an explosive skater. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Max Plante | Summary | Seemed a lot like his job was to try to set up Eiserman for a shot. I need to see him more in different aspects of play, and further in his development. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/2/2024 | 5/21/2024 | 10308 |
Alfons Freij | Note | Fluid backwards, stands his man up at the blue line and prevents the zone entry. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Alfons Freij | Note | In on a short rush, hard snap shot, just wide | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Alfons Freij | Note | Big, strong skating strides, nice edgework. Looks like easy skating for him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Alfons Freij | Note | Leading the rush on the powerplay, not shy about driving the puck in deep, but he gets back to a responsible position after. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Alfons Freij | Note | Good point play on the give and go. He no-looked the return pass and set up a pretty goal with his pass. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Alfons Freij | Summary | Has a good, solid frame at 6'1 and 196 pounds, and he moves well in all four directions. A true two-way blueliner with good NHL potential | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Cole Beaudin | Note | Tall, but doesn't look awkward on his feet. Too upright at times, but good crossovers and edges. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Cole Beaudin | Note | Chases down a puck and turns it into a partial breakaway attempt. Had only a step to make something happen, and goalie makes a good stop, but Beaudin showed speed and willingness there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Cole Beaudin | Note | Throws his head and shoulders up and back when he tries to accelerate. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Gabriel Eliasson | Note | Forecheck effort creates a turnover leading to Sweden's first goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Gavin McKenna | Note | Flying through the neutral zone, passes ahead and keeps moving at top speed. Gets the puck back at the blue line, flashes through the defense, backhand, forehand across the goal mouth, scores. Beautiful stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Gavin McKenna | Note | His turn around the net there on the forecheck was as tight as it could be. That's impressive turning. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Gavin McKenna | Note | He'll throw his body around a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Gavin McKenna | Note | Waits as the Swedish forward tries to bring the puck out of the corner, then he just takes the puck away from him, turns, blazes up ice. He then stickhandled past two Swedes and made a clean zone entry look easy. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |

Jack Berglund | Note | Takes the controlled breakout pass, drives up ice, handles into decent shooting space but his wrister is deflected wide | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Jack Berglund | Note | Follows his shot, then a nice setup pass foiled by a better glove save from George. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |

Leo Sahlin Wallenius | Note | Loses the puck behind his own net as Iginla gets his stick in there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |

Leo Sahlin Wallenius | Note | Cuts hard to the slot, shoots and draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Leo Sahlin Wallenius | Note | Point quarterback on the powerplay, he wants the puck a lot and lets his teammates know it. He's a shooter. Moves it well, but his first thought seems to be scoring. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Liam Greentree | Note | Player in his face, but he absorbs the contact in order to get the puck to a better transition option. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Liam Greentree | Note | Right dot, holds then passes to the left point. He then gets his hips shifted and one-times the return pass short side for the opening goal. Good body awareness and positional prep. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Liam Greentree | Note | Second unit powerplay, carries in, moves the puck and then sets up left circle. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |

Lucas Pettersson | Note | Offensive zone set up, puck at the left point, he's backwards walking the blue line stick high and cocked for a one-timer. He was watching the carrier waiting for the chance instead of seeing what was actually available as a play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Lucas Pettersson | Note | The one-timer did not materialize, so he goes in deeper and becomes more effective. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Lucas Pettersson | Note | Speedy player who needs to work on his balance some | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Porter Martone | Note | Three-on-two rush, carries in left side, then pulls the puck back between his legs to try the fancy pass. Too clever by half, and the attack fizzles out. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Spencer Gill | Note | Gets the puck from Greentree, walks in to draw the defender, and when the lane opens he feeds Greentree again for the one-timer. Lovely pass and play for the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Tij Iginla | Note | Quick read and react as he grabs a loose puck below the goal line and immediately feeds to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |

Tij Iginla | Note | He's fast, but more importantly, he modulates his pace well. It's more about being in the right place at the right time. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Tij Iginla | Note | Goes fast to the back door and was wide open, but the far-side puck carrier shot instead of passing. That would have been an easy tap-in goal, but no puck joy for Iginla there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Tij Iginla | Note | Inginla with a hard check | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Tij Iginla | Note | At the top of the crease, Freij wrapping him up, but he manages to muscle through enough to poke the puck to Marrelli who one-touches a pass to Ritchie, goal.Great play by Iginla to make all of that happen. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Tij Iginla | Note | Work rate is off the charts. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Tij Iginla | Summary | So much to like about Iginla, but his overall tenacity and work rate means that he will impact games on every shift and his hockey iq means that he will always have a positive effect. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/5/2024 | 10307 |
Adam Nemec | Note | Not working hard enough on the backcheck. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Adam Nemec | Note | Puck enters the offensive zone on a rush, and he goes hard to the net, stick down. Winger puts the puck low into the goalie's pads for a rebound pass, and Nemec is there to convert. Nice goal. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Austin Baker | Note | Looking lost in his own end, unsure of where to go, so he's moving out of position a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Austin Baker | Note | Penalty killer, sees his forward linemate go in deep on the forecheck, and he backs out to the blueline strong side wall to cover. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Austin Baker | Note | Takes a hit to make sure the puck clears. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Plays with his stick blade at shoulder height like he's going to shoot no matter where he is on the ice, including in his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | There's what he does best. Hagen's feed is perfect, and Eiserman one-times it short side. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | He can't solve problems with his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | The team that drafts him wants his shot and thinks they can coach all the bad out of him. His shot is elite and his scoring drive and instincts are top flight, but so many other problems. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | He'll hit you if you're trying to move the puck up the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Apparently he'll hit you in open ice, too. He just levelled Straka with a clean shoulder check. Straka was looking at the puck and Eiserman drove his shoulder straight into Straka's chest. The Slovakian was down for a while. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Straightline speed is better than his short-space acceleration or agility. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Everything is geared toward setting up his one-timer. But it’s a great one. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Cole Eiserman | Summary | Eiserman showed good physical play, and although his skating and playing style is monochromatic, his shot and shooter's mentality is a desired resource. He will be a project to get his game up to NHL levels, but there is no question that his scoring ability is already there | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
James Hagens | Note | He holds the puck loaded for as long s possible while closing in on net, always looking fo rthe best option. He can rip it if the goalie cheats even a little, or pass it if he doesn't. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
LJ Mooney | Note | Super fast. Probably the fastest on the US team, maybe in the tournament. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Luka Radivojevic | Note | Radivojevic is incredibly smooth, poised, looks confident at both ends. One to watch (though I'm not focusing on him in this game). | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Miroslav Satan | Note | Tall player getting ice time on the second powerplay squad. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Miroslav Satan | Note | He's got a ways to go to get more comfortable on his skates. Looks coltish on that crazy tall frame. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Nicolas Vrtiel | Note | Trails the rush, goes to the slot, and waits for the play below the net to come back to him. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Teddy Stiga | Note | Such a nose for the net. Sees the play developing off the offensive zone faceoff, cuts hard to the slot as the point shot is released, rebound comes right to him and he puts it in the net. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Teddy Stiga | Note | Shows good speed on better, smooth change of direction, edgework is quality. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Teddy Stiga | Note | Very good skating and edges. He's an odd player to watch because he's often quiet, but his anticipation allows him to jump into plays and become instantly effective. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Tomas Pobezal | Note | Easy skating, on this opening shift was matched up against Hagens, and matching him well on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Tomas Pobezal | Note | Creating some trouble in the offensive zone, then a good hit on the boards to try to stop a breakout by the US. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Tomas Pobezal | Note | Left side on the top powerplay unit. He's getting shots away but the US penalty killers are blocking everything. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Tomas Pobezal | Note | A bit of Pobezal v Hagens action agin as the two are matched up. Great battles between this two. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Tomas Pobezal | Note | Excellent penaly kill play to step around Eiserman to get between him and the puck, then angles a hip check that drops Eiserman and he clears. Great play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Tomas Pobezal | Summary | There was a lot to like from his play in this game. He had the foot speed and agility to succeed at both ends of the ice, and showed a high hockey iq. He made the right choices and was a key to driving play for the Slovakian squad. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Skating is pretty good, not top echelon. He's tenacious though. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | He's always on the move in the offensive zone. High work rate, but he's efficient, moving to good areas anticipating the play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Almost has a breakaway, defenseman pokes the puck away, and Connelly cuts back, fights to recover the puck, and keeps the play in the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Good recognition to realize that the puck bounced back into the offensive zone off of a Slovakian player, and he goes straight to the attack instead of resetting. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Not afraid to take the puck into the home plate area and create danger. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 5/4/2024 | 5/4/2024 | 10306 |
Aatos Koivu | Note | Guarding the crease, takes a loose puck, wheels out of danger and clears. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Aatos Koivu | Note | Very good or better straightline speed. 1.5 to 2.0 | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Austin Baker | Note | Excellent speed to go after the cleared puck, he easily gained a couple of steps on Saarelainen | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Christian Humphreys | Note | Slippery with the puck on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Christian Humphreys | Note | Good, creative puck mover, using his feet and crisp choices to be very ellusive. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Christian Humphreys | Note | He is a high-vision passer who finds dangerous options when he has the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Christian Humphreys | Note | Hands are super quick. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Christian Humphreys | Note | Uses his hands to create deception, showing one way with the puck and turning the other with his hips and feet. He's crafty. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Christian Humphreys | Summary | Humphreys is a playmaker who can find open players with the best of them. His passing and puckhanding are excellent, and he has the small-space skating that will help him a lot in the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Heavy shoulder into the puckcarrier on the defensive zone boards. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Carries on a long arc into the offensive zone, pulls up, fires a hard pass to the slot but well behind the cutter. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Feet look heavy trying to chase down an opposing rush. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Quality one-timer hits the post. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Another pass that was a great choice poorly executed. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Skates to a spot, then hip pivots towards the puck. He made a good play with it when it came, but there's a lack of fluidity to his skating and a bullish linear tendancy to his thinking. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Note | Upright, lots of shoulder swing. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Cole Eiserman | Summary | He is a volume shooting goal scorer, and he excels at that, but the rest of his game looked so plodding on most shifts. Mechanical, clunky at times, missed on his passes and didn't have any shine to his game. But he can score. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Heikki Ruohonen | Note | Good speed, nice stride mechanics powers him through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Heikki Ruohonen | Note | He's a beavertailer. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Heikki Ruohonen | Note | If a Finn player is slapping the ice, you know it’s going to be Ruohonen. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Heikki Ruohonen | Note | The beavertailing in making me crazy. Every time a teammate has the puck he's clapping the ice. And that time when he got the puck, he booted it. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Heikki Ruohonen | Note | Has some physicallity to his game, which seems fitting. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Sneaky no-look pass that created a chance. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Gets really low on the faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Active on defense, taking up good spots in the slot, constantly scanning. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Playing on the second penaly kill unit, and I can see why he's trusted there. Picks up on puck changes quickly, stays in the shooting and passing lanes, then helps generate a short-handed rush with speed and effort. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Excellent use of his edges to change from forward to backward movement. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Beauty of a deke to get around the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Keeps getting the puck to Stiga, who keeps putting it in the net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | His change of direction is sharp and immediate. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Hagens is the player who always knows what he wants to accomplish with the puck before he gets it. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Gasp. Intercepts just inside his own blue liner, dekes the defender just after entering the offensive zone, looks shot and gets the other defender to his knees to block, then spins and throws a backhand pass to Stiga at the doorstep. Would have been an easy tap in goal, but it hit a stick and went in anyway. Hagens get the goal credit. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | He has a good, hard wrist shot, too. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | And there he pots one from the slot with a good one-touch wrister. He caught that loaded and immediate released short side. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Note | Opening faceoff of the third period, he chats with Hutson before the drop. When he wins it back to Hutson, he curls wide and flies up the ice. Hutson lifts the puck deep, and Hagens is behind everyone, first to the puck off the back boards, and one-times the carrom short side for his hat trick. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
James Hagens | Summary | Easily the best player in the game. He was everywhere, and always engaged in the play at both ends. He will be a star NHL player. His mind is the key, as he anticipates the play so well, and then his feet and hands are skilled and talented to keep up. Great, great player. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Joona Saarelainen | Note | Lagging the play as the US transitions into their offensive zone, goes to the slot, then does a good job to kick a loose puck to his stick and launch a breakout. Didn't like the lead up, but the end was okay. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Joona Saarelainen | Note | Upright, not driving through his strides. Choppy. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Joona Saarelainen | Note | Top powerplay unit, planted at the top of the crease | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Joona Saarelainen | Note | Great hands and patience to take the pass, take an extra step to drag across the crease and slide the puck into the open net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Shane Vansaghi | Note | Solid frame, thick legs. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Shane Vansaghi | Note | Average skater or a touch below. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Shane Vansaghi | Note | Crunching hit. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Teddy Stiga | Note | Hard snap shot low far side gets under the left pad to open the scoring. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs US (U18 WJC 2024) | 4/30/2024 | 5/3/2024 | 10305 |
Adam Jecho | Note | Moves good, but looks a bit awkward | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Adam Jecho | Note | Another huge player in this game. Not nearly as good a skater as Lindstrom, and maybe not as good as McQueen. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Adam Jecho | Note | Wearing an A for the Czechs | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Adam Jecho | Note | Scrum at the front of the net, he allows Catton to go in uncontested and poke in a loose puck | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Adam Jecho | Note | Lacking agility and his backward skating is somewhat average. Hands are quicker than his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | First step is a bit too upright, but after that, he generates speed quickly | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Wrist shot snaps his stick. A lot of flex before it broke. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | He's faster than most of the players around him, often having to cut around players on the rush or backcheck because they are too slow in front of him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Hustles up the ice, passes the defender, beats out an icing. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | It's so humid and warm that the glass and camera lenses are fogging, so the ice looks incredibly soft. Lindstrom just overskated a puck. Interested to see how a fast player will adjust as the game wears on. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Uses his height and strength to his advantage, leaning, shoving, hitting. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | What an excellent sequence that started with him calling out directions in his own end, taking a pass at the red line left side, zone entry pass to the high slot cutter. The defender poked the puck away but right back to Lindstrom and he one-touched a pass to the right dot that gave Martone an unobstructed line to the net. Beautiful play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |

Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Active in the defensive zone, patrolling the slot, puck goes out to the neutral zone and he's hard up ice.Gets a nice saucer pass from Martone, holds the puck at length backhand, gains a full step plus on the defender trying to keep up, then pulls the puck back to forehand as he jams on the brakes and lifts the puck over the goalie's right shoulder. Gorgeous goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | I like the physical elements of his game | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Note | Up one goal, midway through the third, and he's out on the penalty kill and draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Cayden Lindstrom | Summary | Although there are some aspects to his skating and game that need development, Lindstrom is a multi-category beast of a prospect. Fast and agile at 6'4, 205. Great hands and vision with serious game awareness. He's going to be a star. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Jiri Klima | Note | Showing okay speed, but he's not going hard. Just looks like three-quarters effort on the backcheck early in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Jiri Klima | Note | Nice reverse at the corner boards. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Liam Greentree | Note | Nice recovery to get in position and block a pass through the slot | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Powerplay, running the play off the left halfboards | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Above average speed, good lateraly mobility | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Doing a good job moving laterally to try to get into open passing lanes during the powerplay | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Harmless shot from the top of the right circle | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Trails and goes hard down the slot, puck bounces up and off him into the net to tie the game | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Too much fishing, not enough effort with his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Looked good there transitioning with the puck through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Another instance of him fishing for the puck instead of sealing off the potential attack | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | On the powerplay, gets called for closing his hand on the puck as Lindstrom was all over him | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | Big. Tall player with long limbs. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | Slushy first few steps. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | His super-long strides are a diesel engine. Slow to power up, but fast after a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | Heavy lean on his edges gives him a sharper turning radius than expected. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | Decent edges going heel to heel and crossovers | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | Crunching hit on a mostly stationary puckcarrier in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Note | Good clean pass across the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Roger McQueen | Summary | Tall, rangy player with some upside. He's a work in progress who will need time develop, but he showed aspects of his game that could translate well to professional play, particularly his desire to push the puck up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024) | 8/5/2023 | 4/25/2024 | 10304 |
Brady Martin | Note | Taking a draw in the offensive zone, plays it forward and steps around the Guelph center to be first to the puck. Nice first step. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Brady Martin | Note | Tries a spin move, but the defender just checks him and bumps him out of his play. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Brady Martin | Note | Left side, takes a drop pass, cuts to the slot, dekes around a defender and lets loose with a wrist shot against the grain. Nice goal. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Brady Martin | Note | Strong on his skates. He's hard to dislodge when he's not trying to be agile. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Christopher Brown | Note | Good quickness, takes a nice line to get in the shooting lane in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | Very nice edges and stride. He's a fast and lively skater. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | Highly active player at both ends of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | Sharp long diagonal pass through the neutral zone that he got away while under forecheck pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | Leading the top powerplay, he played a long shift before the penalty but was right back out. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | He's sent a couple of passes to try to set up one-timers, but the shooters couldn't quite connect. Good vision, though. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Jett Luchanko | Note | Gets tripped in front of the net, but the puck rebounds to him, and he makes a play from his knees but is robbed by a desperate stick from the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Leo Serlin | Note | Speed looks above average. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Leo Serlin | Note | Receives a pass in his own end, looks up and leaves the puck while a Soo player dashes in a takes it away from him. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Leo Serlin | Note | Good forecheck read as he steps into the lane and picks off a pass. Then, head up, he feeds to the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Parker Snelgrove | Note | Moving the puck through transition, he footwork is nothing special, and his puckhandling seemed a bit awkward. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Parker Snelgrove | Note | Hustles up the right side with the puck, tries to turn the corner but the defender cuts him off, so he rips a hard pass to his rushing line mate, but no joy. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/3/2024 | 4/8/2024 | 10303 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Powerplay quarterback on the top unit. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Staring down a one-on-one attack by Kulich, holds his position, active stick, keeps Kulich to a mid-range wrist shot easily saved. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Puck at the blue line, slides left, dangles, gets inside to the high slot and fires a wrist shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Not afraid to join the rush. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Turns his back to the puck while retreating against the rush. Didn't hurt him there, but that's a no-no. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Smooth on his skates, moves well and shows decent speed. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Note | Good positioning and lines to thwart to attacking forward, and he steers him behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Arttu Karki | Summary | More of a two-way defenseman than a pure transition/offensive blueliner. Shows good instincts and positioning in his own end, runs the powerplay well, and throws crisp passes on target | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Note | So tall. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Note | Collects the puck behind his own net, comes around, circles back under pressure. He doesn't have the quickness to escape pressure, but his reach allows him to keep the puck out of reach and then go off the glass with the puck to clear the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Note | He has a tight turning radius for such a tall player. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Note | Using his long strides to generate good speed, goes hard to win the puck race deep in the offensive zone. Passes to the left winger and then cycles back to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Note | Willing to be the first player in to retrieve pucks dumped into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Note | Too many times he feathers the puck aound the corner as an outlet option. This seldom works for him. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Jesse Pulkinnen | Summary | Quick to activate up ice, and although his first couple of steps are nothing special, he can build speed fairly quickly and win long races. He shows a lot of scoring drive and wants to be involved in the action at both ends. He needs to work on his defense and puck management in his own end, but his up-ice abilities are fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Note | Very good speed at the end of the shift. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Note | Using crossover steps to accelerate on a curve out of his own end, and then his transition to power strides is super smooth. Fantastic skating ease. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Note | Ducks low to the right side, pulls in a nice pass, and then pots it up high from a tight angle. Pretty shot. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Note | Passed on a shot to try a one-touch pass acrosst the goal mouth. The play would have been nice had it worked, but it fizzled out among too many sticks. Probably was better off shooting that one. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Note | A couple of times he's taken the puck out of the corner to the half boards, only to be surrounded by Czech players. He doesn't seem to panic, but he needs to make a quicker read and either move the puck or cut back sooner. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Note | Excellent powerplay shift during which he made a couple of dazzling passes out of the corner. One of them created a great chance that should have been a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Konsta Helenius | Summary | Maybe staying a bit too much on the perimeter, but he is willing to hold the puck until options open up. Showed excellent skating and soft hands, and obviously has offensive talents and instincts. As his game develops, and he gets a couple of bad habits out the way, he could turn into a high-quality offensive factor in all games. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Tomas Galvas | Note | Looks small out there, especially guarding the net against the big Finn forward | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Tomas Galvas | Note | Quality skater, high agility, fast in all directions. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Tomas Galvas | Note | Puck mover, and he does it pretty well. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Tomas Galvas | Note | Snap shot form just inside the blue line, didn't seem dangerous and easily gloved. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Tomas Galvas | Note | Relies on his quickness and puck abilities to compensate for some defensive lapses. He tends to get out of position and outmuscled in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Tomas Galvas | Summary | His skating helps him out, a lot, but his smaller size and lack of positioning strength means that he has a lot of work to do to become a better defender capable of warding off bigger forwards. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czechia (WJC 2024) | 1/5/2024 | 4/2/2024 | 10302 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Powerful skating strides, good technical form, builds speed easily and converts power to direction changes with nice edges. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Beats out the icing with speed and effort. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Big frame which he uses well to shield the puck from defenders. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Good vision to pick out the long diagonal pass through the neutral zone, but a bit off target. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Sneaky reach out and pull back gets him around the US defender. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | He's so fast for a guy that is 6'1, 200 pounds. Power skater. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Out on the powerplay at the start of the second period. He's right point on the top unit. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Smoking wrist shot comes off of his stick low and hard, blocked. Fortescue is hurting after that one. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Again on the powerplay right point, takes the puck, walks in to the top of the circle and rips a wrist shot just over the far corner and rattles the glass. He's got a powerful wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Nice, physical pin along the defensive zone boards. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Vision is pretty good, he's finding the right plays, but his passing is a little inaccurate. He'll get there, though. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Takes a hard line up ice and is rewarded with the pass for a clean break. Fires a hard shot far side but Augustine gets just enough of it with the edge of his blocker. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Active on defense, but doesn’t look at comfortable back there. Not bad, for sure, but looks just a little uncertain. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Another nice hit along the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Rushing up ice, the pass comes to him but it's in his skates. He handles it well, gets the puck to his stick and continues up ice without breaking momentum. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Rattles the crossbar, up and out. His shot is so hard as his leans heavily into his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Fishing in his own zone, relying on his stick instead of bodying up the opposition. That will be coached out of him, but his defensive play is still a work in progress. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Note | Any doubts about his skating are answered there as his is able to stick with the near-elite skating of Lane Hutson. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Summary | Big, strong power forward with a massive wrist shot and excellent skating. As he develops, and if he can get some bad habits out of his defensive game and build a low-post power element to add to his blistering wrist shot, he could become a beast of an NHL forward. | Brian Fogarty | Norway vs USA (WJC 2024) | 12/26/2023 | 4/2/2024 | 10301 |
Zeev Buium | Note | Silky, fluid skating in transition, dips and drives then slides the puck to the forward after hitting the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Cornell vs Denver (NCAA) | 3/30/2024 | 3/30/2024 | 10300 |
Zeev Buium | Note | At the point on the powerplay, gets the puck, handles to draw the penalty killer closer, then a nice feed to the right, shot, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Cornell vs Denver (NCAA) | 3/30/2024 | 3/30/2024 | 10300 |
Zeev Buium | Note | Agile and quick, he can easily match elusive forwards trying to switch back and shake him. He looks frustrating to play against. | Brian Fogarty | Cornell vs Denver (NCAA) | 3/30/2024 | 3/30/2024 | 10300 |
Zeev Buium | Note | What a great play that all started with a brilliant read in his own end to intercept. Then after the puck goes up ice two-on-one, and a blocked rush shot skips out toward the blue line, Buium hustles up, cuts diagonally to reach the puck before it exits the offensive zone, then one-touches it against the grain to feed his attacking forward for a clean look. Just great stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Cornell vs Denver (NCAA) | 3/30/2024 | 3/30/2024 | 10300 |
Zeev Buium | Note | Another excellent defensive read to get back into position and take away a potential net-front threat. | Brian Fogarty | Cornell vs Denver (NCAA) | 3/30/2024 | 3/30/2024 | 10300 |
Zeev Buium | Summary | Full tool kit with this guy. He has the innate hockey sense in all game aspects, and wonderful skating that allows him to execute all the plays that his eyes are finding. Good size, soft hands. He's the real thing, no question. | Brian Fogarty | Cornell vs Denver (NCAA) | 3/30/2024 | 3/30/2024 | 10300 |
David Goyette | Note | Top powerplay unit, which isn't surprising at all. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
David Goyette | Note | Perfectly timed fly by in front of the goalie, with a hop at the end to get above the low Dvorsky shot. Great screen for the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
David Goyette | Note | Several nice reads in the neutral zone where he picked off transition passes with ease. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
David Goyette | Note | Ankle breaking drag move. That was nasty. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jack Van Volsen | Note | Speed looks average going hard up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jack Van Volsen | Note | Two bad giveaways in a row, one that led to a great Goyette chance. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jack Van Volsen | Note | Getting involved physically, but mostly upper body shoving rather than getting his legs involved and generating force. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jack Van Volsen | Note | Being called upon to take a lot of defensive-zone draws, and doing quite well with them. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jakub Fibigr | Note | Shows good speed there, hustling back to cut off an attack, then curling to the boards to freeze Dvorsky. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jakub Fibigr | Note | Top penalty kill unit, out against the Wolves' best powerplay attack. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |

Jakub Fibigr | Note | Smooth and fast backwards, using C cuts instead of crossovers. His skating coach would be proud. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |

Smart read. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Jakub Fibigr | Summary | Fibigr is a smooth skating two-way defender that looks capable in his own end, holding position and making quality choices on defensive responsibility.

Luke Misa | Note | Fast through the neutral zone, drives the left side ,then tries to flip a shot short side over the goalie's shoulder. Unnecessary to take a low-probability shot there when he had other options. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Luke Misa | Note | Too lackadaisical in the high slot in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |

Luke Misa | Summary | His skating is easily his best tool. Did not appear to be overly creative on offensive, and lacked some dynamism in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
MacGregor Richmond | Note | Incredibly wide skating stride. His feet return to outside his shoulders by a good bit. Looks okay using his edges and going backwards, but his forward stride is all noise. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |
Nathan Villeneuve | Note | Collects a puck in his own zone then accelerates out through the neutral zone. Nice speed generation despite having Walton inexplicably cut right into his path. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Sudbury (OHL) | 3/28/2024 | 3/29/2024 | 10299 |

Beckett Sennecke | Note | Acceleration and a long stretch keeps the puck from skidding out the offensive zone and he keeps the attack alive. The ensuing pass from the corner deflects into the net. That goal doesn't happen without Sennecke's effort at the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs London (OHL) | 2/28/2024 | 3/5/2024 | 10298 |

Julius Miettinen | Note | On the powerplay, collects deep in his own zone and attacks. Carries through the neutral zone, diagonal to the left outside, drops for the point man. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |

Tarin Smith | Note | Not the smoothest puck carrier, more of a pass-first blueliner. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |

Terik Parascak | Summary | Parascak is all about getting the puck on net, but the rest of his game is fairly well-rounded. Good skater, high work rate, thinks through the game. He shines when he's loading up the puck, though. Smart, deceptive shooter who can unload a dangerous shot from anywhere. | Brian Fogarty | Everett vs Prince George (WHL) | 11/20/2023 | 2/16/2024 | 10296 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | Uses his speed effectively, but never excessively. Rarely overskates a play. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs Massachusetts (NCAA) | 2/16/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10295 |

Oskar Jellvik | Summary | Another good showing, but again, despite getting himself involved both offensively and on defense, he doesn't create chances for himself. He looks like a complementary player who can take advantage of opportunities because of his ability to read the play, and is a great puck distributor. He may struggle to be effective on offense at higher levels after he leaves college hockey unless he does a better job of getting into offense-generation modes. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs Massachusetts (NCAA) | 2/16/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10295 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | Good first stride to get to the loose puck, eyes up, scanning for options before his gets his stick on the puck, and then a deceptive one-touch pass to open space away from the forechecker. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |

Oskar Jellvik | Note | With Perrault out of the lineup, Jellvik is working on the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | Killing penalties, out at the top, active stick, mostly effective in pressuring the point and cutting down passing lanes. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | Willing to throw a hip into the puck holder on the wall. Don't see him making any type of open ice physical plays, but he's not afraid of contact. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |

Oskar Jellvik | Note | He's not a puck carrier, and his stickhandling is average, but he can bring the puck through the neutral zone with speed, and his vision and passing are high quality. When he gets the puck, he knows exactly what he wants to do with it. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |
Oskar Jellvik | Note | High IQ player, reads and anticipation levels are excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |
Oskar Jellvik | Summary | Plays with high energy and combines his skating ability with fast game processing. He didn't have a shot in this game (which was tightly played in the neutral zone overall), and he does not look like a player who will create his own offense. However, great passing and awareness, and his a quality defensive forward, too. | Brian Fogarty | Boston College vs New Hampshire (NCAA) | 3/3/2024 | 3/6/2024 | 10294 |
Artyom Bondar | Note | Can’t handle the pass that's a bit in his skates, kicks it to the opposition. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |

Igor Chernyshov | Note | Working hard in the offensive zone to battle for possession. | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |

Igor Verbitsky | Note | Carrying on the powerplay transition, decent handling, wheels are just average or little better | Brian Fogarty | SKA-1946 St Petersburg vs Dynamo Moscow (MHL | 2/2/2024 | 2/9/2024 | 10293 |

Artyom Levshunov | Summary | Smart positional play in his own end, and two-way mentality stood out the most for me. The fact that he was on the ice so much late in the game as Michigan State was trying to get back into the game speaks to his offensive abilities, as well. He may lack the high-end speed, but that's about the only thing I saw missing in his skill set. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Brody Lamb | Note | 2nd PP | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Brody Lamb | Note | Lamb with another nice feed, this time to the high slot but the chance was saved | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Second time this game that he's blocked a shot with his hand. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Eyes up, finds an open man in the slot and sets up a great chance | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Out to start the 3-on-3 OT | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Brody Lamb | Summary | Continues to make strides in his overall game, and his vision and passing stood out in this game among many players with high-level talent. He looks like he is putting it all together. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Bryce Brodzinski | Note | Top PP unit | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Bryce Brodzinski | Note | Change of direction with the puck looks a little methodical, lacking sharpness there | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Bryce Brodzinski | Note | Loads up a hard wrist shot from above the right dot that beats the netminder far side, off the top of the pad and in | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Bryce Brodzinski | Note | Low-intensity shift in the offensive zone with just a couple of minutes left in the first period. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Bryce Brodzinski | Note | Converts a nice feed with a one-timer short side | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Bryce Brodzinski | Note | He's got a sharp release and shot mechanics. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Bryce Brodzinski | Note | Behind his own net, he bounces a pass off the halfboards to create a clean breakout and a 2-on-2 attack. Smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Bryce Brodzinski | Note | Another hard wrist shot that created rebound havoc. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Bryce Brodzinski | Summary | Brodzinski is all about his shot. The puck comes off his stick with intent and heat. He has a good release point, and likes to use his shot. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Connor Kurth | Note | Skating looks okay on the first shift. Not digging in hard, but showing some mobility | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Connor Kurth | Note | 2nd PP | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Connor Kurth | Note | Working the area in front of and around the crease, is quick to the loose puck, then makes a high-vision pass to the slot that skipped past Lamb as he was tripped | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Connor Kurth | Note | Gets a puck with space in front of him, skates in to the neutral zone, but sends a too-hard pass across to the left that bangs off of the receivers blade and skips into the offensive zone where State can recover | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Connor Kurth | Note | Dangles into the slot and draws a hooking penalty | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Connor Kurth | Note | Gets a headman pass, speeds up ice and is able to gain a step for clean look at net, and finishes nicely. His effort at the end of a shift spent mostly in his own zone was admirable. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Connor Kurth | Note | He has a nice burst and has used it effectively several times this game. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Connor Kurth | Summary | His burst while in motion is his most effective weapon, with a quick change of gear that allows him to take advantage of open spaces. Beyond that, he has a good wrist shot on the move. The rest of his game is above average, but no one other attribute stands out as a big advantage. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Showing nice acceleration on the move | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Buzzing, but he's working without much forethought, it seems. He is just a bit too rushed. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Uses his feet through the middle to get a partial breakaway, but couldn't find enough room to get a clean shot away | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Later in the same shift, brings it up the left side and backhands a pass to the slot for a clean look for Geary to tie the game at the end of the second period. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Not as fast as I want him to be. He's above average to good, but his speed isn't going to earn him any accolades | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Isaac Howard | Note | Continues to make questionable choices with the puck. Here he tried to swing a backhand, backwards pass to the right point instead of the simpler pass to the left point, and the pucks exits the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Isaac Howard | Summary | Too many mistakes with the puck countered any effectiveness he showed. He really needs to work on puck management and simplifying his game | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Jaxon Nelson | Note | Captain. Tall, long legs, but not great speed. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Jaxon Nelson | Note | Shoves the defender back into the goaltender, who goes down. Shot from the point goes in, and Nelson gets called for goaltender interference. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Jaxon Nelson | Note | His long legs give him that sneaky, tall-man straightline speed | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Jaxon Nelson | Note | Great 4-3 pp pass to M22 far side | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Jaxon Nelson | Note | Halfhearted sweeping attempt on net. He had time and possession to do something better. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Jaxon Nelson | Note | Has a great opportunity from the slot and misses the net. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Jaxon Nelson | Summary | One would expect a player his size to be more physical, but he's a big player with a skill game. He wasn't a big impact player in this game, but he made some small plays that were effective. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | His shot just blazes off his stick | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Snuggerud gets ejected for a hitting from behind call that ends their own 5 minute major | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | Carries through the neutral zone, gets a zone entry while his line is changing, and then he puts a harmless, just-inside-the-blue-line wrist shot on net with no hope of recovery. His only saving grace is it was blocked up into the netting and play stops. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | Good play behind the net to lift the stick and take the puck away from M4, then turn and feed Savage in the slot for the first Spartan goal of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | Wraparound attempt looked dangerous | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | I like his skating, smooth and effective quickness and mobility on his edges | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | Scores from the high slot with 18 seconds left to tie the game. Got himself into a great spot, and paid it off when the pass finds him | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | Not fast with the puck through the neutral zone. Has good jump, but top end caps out pretty quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | Toe-drag release was tough for the goalie to handle, low. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | PP, wrist shot from the left circle, kind of double clutched on it | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | Cutting high slot and gets leveled by a solid body check | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Note | Tries to chip a lateral pass on net. I'd rather he was stronger on the puck there. If he'd collected and then put the puck on net, it likely would have been a better chance. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Joey Larson | Summary | He was involved all game long, driving offense and was often a threat in the offensive zone. His game-tying goal showed the full aspect of this game: movement, awareness, poise with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Karsen Dowart | Note | Harassing the puck carrier with a sequence of stick lifts, taps, chops | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Karsen Dowart | Note | Average speed, a bit wobbly side to side. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Karsen Dowart | Note | Steals in the offensive zone, driving diagonally through the slot on his off side, decides to try to drop pass when I'd rather see him try to win a step and turn hard to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Karsen Dowart | Note | Fires a good, hard wrist shot low, but a pad save kicks it out | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Karsen Dowart | Note | Leading a 3 on 2 late in the period, his best play was to the right, but he sent the puck to the left and the entire attack comes to nothing. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Karsen Dowart | Note | His work rate is impressive. Always pushing play | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Karsen Dowart | Note | Out to start the 3-on-3 OT | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Karsen Dowart | Summary | Constantly engaged and pushing play, his energy and competitive drive stood out on every shift. He might not have the skills to match, and his ceiling looks fairly low at this point, but he's a gamer. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Overskates the puck in the offensive zone, and the opposition gains possession | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Nice saucer pass on the move drops the puck onto Kurth's stick, but Augustine with a beauty glove save | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Oliver Moore | Note | Cutting at the top of the crease, but the pass in to him was just a bit into his skates and he has to dig it out and the moment passes. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Top PK squad | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Nice, patient play on the PK allows his line to change | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Diving attempt to knock in a rebound frustrated by a left pad save | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Never far from the front of the net, and always battling | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Nice deflection of the point shot, but saved | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Redmond Savage | Note | All that work in front of the net finally pays off as he gets a feed in the low slot and buries it. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |

Rhett Pitlick | Note | Top PP unit | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Wow, he just got called for hooking on a play where he lifted the shooter's stick from behind. Never touched the body hands, nothing. That's an odd call, to say the least. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Pass is too far in front of the lead man trying to enter the offensive zone, and the pucks goes all the way into the corner | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Pitlick's puck management has left a lot to be desired so far | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Nice job to redirect a deflected puck, down and past the netminder. Marginal high stick, but I think it was good. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Pilick has Snuggerud all alone in the slot, but puts the pass hard and in his skates and the chance is gone | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 11/26/2023 | 12/14/2023 | 10292 |
Adam Benak | Note | Fast up ice with the puck, tries to dangle through a couple of defenders and does, but gets tripped (no call) and slides hard into the end boards. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Quick but so small at 5'6. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | High slot at speed, dangles his man, loads and fires a wrist shot that clips the goalie's shoulder and drops behind him but skitters to the side of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | His speed is excellent, and he is light on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Low right side on the powerplay, playing just above the goal line, and when he gets the puck he's in complete control of the entire zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | His weight shifting and edgework makes him extremely ellusive and agile. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Hits the puck holder on the boards. Not hard, but he's getting in there. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | His confidence in possession, and the ability to puckhandle in any conditions or threats, is elite level stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | If he gets to 5'9, he'll be an NHL superstar. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Takes a dirty, high hit from Spellacy. He was down for a minute, but then up and ready for the powerplay. Between that hit and his hard knock into the boards earlier in the game, he's taking a beating but still highly effective. Tough kid. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Slips his man, fires on net, and Kubiesa puts away the rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Congested slot area, he's on the move left to right, and a kicked puck comes to his feet. He one-touches a no-look pass back between his feet onto the tape for what should have been an easy goal. That play made me gasp. So fast, so creative, so well executed. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Wrist shot low far side is difficult for the netminder, because he has to expect everything from Benak and can’t cover it all. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Note | Another excellent pass for a tap-in goal. Perfect. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Benak | Summary | Far and above every player in this game despite being a year younger. He is an amazing prospect in every way, save his height. Incredible hockey iq and hands to match the processing speed. Quick, agile, nearly untouchable, and showed some physicality and toughness, too. He just has to get taller to get his fair chance. Super talented. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Note | Eating tons of penalty kill minutes. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Note | Easy backwards manueverability | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Note | Not afraid to use a one-timer bomb from the left circle on the powerplay. Two in a row that were hard, on target, but saved. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Note | Pinches deep, draws a holding call. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Jiricek | Summary | Not a lot of notes in the game, but that was mostly due to him just doing everything well and the play being mostly in the offensive zone. I liked his activation up ice, and he helped generate offensive chances. He also played probably 30 minutes and never missed a beat. Maybe has a better offensive game than his brother at this point, but he's just as good everywhere else. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Titlbach | Note | Nice give and go through the neutral zone gets him into the offensive zone in possession, and the passing combination has created a 4-on-2. Titlbach shows pass as he drives the slot, then unleashes a no-look, hard wrist shot that beats the goaltender top blocker side. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Titlbach | Note | Great feed. Holds, looks off the defender, then elevates the puck to Drancak for a tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Adam Titlbach | Summary | Notes suffer here because he was on the same line with Benak who just stole the show. Titlbach looked dangerous and clever, with good skating and awareness. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Note | Skating looks methodical, not dynamic or fast. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Note | Carries into the left corner, turns back, then shuffles the puck to an opposing player for a breakaway against. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Note | Good hustle to split through the center lane, take in a pass and get an attempt on net. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Note | Gets a partial breakaway but can't shake Galvas to get the shot away. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Aidan Park | Summary | Skating lets him down a little, but there was some spark to his game. He had a couple of good chances that he created with smart play, but needed an extra step to finish. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Note | Has the puck, trying to turn with the defender covering him, pumping his outside skate. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Note | Hard pass comes to his feet, handcuffs him, and the puck goes by and out of the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Note | He's a chip and chase player. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Note | No flash, just a straight north-south player with some skill. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
JJ Montiero | Summary | Has size, and some skill to go with the work rate, but he lacks offensive creativity. He will drive play into the zone with determination and fight for possession, but at this point he's not much more than a grinder. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Good read to cover the point for the pinching defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Tries a shot from distance, but not at all a threat to score. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | That shot from closer in at the inside of the right circle was much more dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Nice, solid hit in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Note | Collects a Benak rebound and pots it into the open net for a powerplay goal. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Matej Kubiesa | Summary | Engaged at both ends, active and intentional. He looks like a utility player that can do whatever is asked of him. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Killing penalies early on. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Looks fast. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Right point on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Penalty kill, and his forechecking efforts just burned 30 seconds off of the penalty. Tremendous work. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Finishes a nice feed from Sykora with a one-timer snap shot. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Note | Nice, long power strides. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Ondrej Kos | Summary | I liked his game a lot. Fast paced, works hard and uses his feet and game iq at both ends of the ice. On the penalty kill he hounded the puck, never letting the US powerplay get settled and created a couple of short-handed chances. His offensive play was marked by the same intensity and hustle, but he also showed good vision and good hands to start and finish plays. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Good wheels early, gets to a puck deep and then flashes it out to the right dot for a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Right halfboards on the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Excellent speed carrying through the neutral zone, hits the offensive zone hard and gives the puck away trying to drive the center lane through three penalty killers. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Loses the handle in the offensive zone, but tracks back all the way to his own zone to retrieve. But then he just gives it away again in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Note | Cutting left high slot, feeds an against-the-grain pass to the right post for an assist. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Trevor Connelly | Summary | The skill is obvious. He plays hard, and with a high level of scoring drive when he has the puck. He was creative in finding open players, showed a hard, accurate shot. The biggest downfall in the game was the mental errors, especially in puck management choices. Still, he could be a good second-round-type prosect with upside. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Bumper spot on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Hard wrist shot from the slot almost beat the goalie low. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Has a great first step, accelerates well laterally and changes directions easily. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Lovely sauce drops the puck right onto Park's stick. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | So fast getting to loose pucks off the faceoff. He's quick off the blocks. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Good one-timer from the right of the net to finish to excellent pass from Connelly. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Note | Good use of his body to wedge into the defenseman and try to separate him from the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Will Zellers | Summary | Uses his acceleration to be disruptive, and he showed nice patience and vision along with puck skills that enabled him to be one of the best players for the US squad. He'll battle in tight but looks more effective with space in the middle. I liked him. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/20/2023 | 10291 |
Atte Vikla | Note | Drives the center with the puck, dangles but can't get a clean shot away at the end. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Atte Vikla | Note | Scrap and hustle. Moving his feet to get involved in the play. Banging, lifting sticks, doing whatever it takes. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Atte Vikla | Note | Moves well and often. Uses his feet to gain and regain position. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Atte Vikla | Note | Hard slapper wide off a one-timer. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | One-hands the puck on a turn using his free arm to ward off the defender, then a sharp pass to the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Wearing a "C" here. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Quick first step, excellent agility and burst. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Excellent read to cut the lane in the neutral zone, intercept and start a dangerous counterattack. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | He's patient and commanding with the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Shows good hands to try to tap a deflected shot, but an excellent save keeps the puck out. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Bit of a scramble in Canada's end, and he's calling out assignments and talking to his teammates a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Good, quick shot coming out from behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Berkley Catton | Note | Draws a holding penalty with his speed and drive | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Berkley Catton | Note | Like his effort going back and in his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Gets to the loose pucks, eyes up, feeds over to Mews at the left circle. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Note | Beautiful touch pass with elevation, gets it over the defending sticks and drops it right in stride to get Masse a solo look on net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Berkley Catton | Summary | Crafty, playmaking Center who can also shoot. He is a hard-working player at both ends of the ice, and was driving the play on every shift. He's a high-quality prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Carson Wetsch | Note | Excellent speed up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Carson Wetsch | Note | Movement is clean and simple. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Carson Wetsch | Note | Good coverage in his zone, sticks to his man, harrasses him into a bad choice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Carson Wetsch | Note | Another big hit catches the puck carrier trying to get out of Finland's zone. Blasted him at the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Carson Wetsch | Summary | Fast, two-way physical forward who makes up for his lack of offensive creativity with hustle and determination. He's a player who can do it all, but at this point looks unlikely to light up scoreboards anytime soon. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Emil Hemming | Note | Gives the puck away on the powerplay with a bad pass under pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Emil Hemming | Note | Follows the bad turnover with an excellent cross-ice pass to the farside point. Hard, right on the tape, starts off a three-pass powerplay goal sequence. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Emil Hemming | Note | Hard wrist shot off target, but not by a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Emil Hemming | Note | Comfortable handling the puck in tight. He gets his shot away quickly even off balance. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Emil Hemming | Note | Hard slapshot at a sharp angle. He can shoot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Emil Hemming | Note | Less creative as a puck holder than he is as a shooter. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Emil Hemming | Note | Good patience followed by a nicely weighted pass and assist. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Emil Hemming | Summary | Looks like a shoot-first player who can also use that to set up other plays. As he develops his puck management, he could become a dangerous offensive threat. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Henry Mews | Note | Gathers the puck behind his net, good read to find the right outlet pass with a forechecker closing in on him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Henry Mews | Note | Shows stick to fake a hard around, then watching for the forechecker's commitment, moves the puck the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Henry Mews | Note | He's very crafty. There, he used position and shoulder to show big hit, then shifted slightly to slide into the forward's hands and just take the puck away. Smart, fundamental play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Henry Mews | Note | Again uses positioning to get into the puckcarrier's hands at the boards. Pivots so he's on the puck side with his back into his opponent, and has his eyes up ice as he gains puck control. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Henry Mews | Note | Another smart, decisive play in his own end, active stick breaks up the possession then pins the man to the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Justin Poirier | Note | Great line to get into the shooting lane and block the point shot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Justin Poirier | Note | Takes a sharp angle shot high, off the goaltender's shoulder and in. There was a small hole and he found it. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Justin Poirier | Note | Step slow to get to the loose puck, but it's been a long shift. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Justin Poirier | Note | Excellent speed there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Justin Poirier | Note | Wins the puck in the corner, but then sends a no-look pass to the high slot where no one was. Led to a one-on-one counter that the Finns finished to take the lead late. Poor decision from Poirier that hurt his team. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |
Justin Poirier | Summary | He'll use physical play to be disruptive on the forecheck or defending transitions, and showed quality speed and acceleration, but also seemed somewhat inconsistent shift to shift. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023) | 7/31/2023 | 9/9/2023 | 10290 |

Eric Pohlkamp | Summary | Offensively talented player out of the backend who brings little defensive capabilities at this time. As a right-handed blueliner with up ice skills he might get some more chances to crack an NHL lineup, but without size and without a good defensive game, I'm skeptical. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |

Kentai Isogai | Summary | I honestly wish he had more skill, because everything else about his play is high-quality. Unfortunately, despite having all the mental qualities I like to see in a hockey player, he just falls short of the skill package necessary to make the NHL, I'm afraid. | Brian Fogarty | Youngstown vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 4/14/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10287 |

Tanner Ludtke | Note | Skating stride is so slow. His feet take forever to move through the cycle. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Top powerplay center. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Misreads the puck bounce off the boards, and he lacks the step needed to correct position before the opposing defender can close the gap and take possession. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | Straight-line speed is too slow. Just lost probably ten feet in the race to stop a shorthanded breakaway and was too far behind to do anything at all. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Tanner Ludtke | Note | His turn is tight, but he can't push out of it, just no power in his feet at all. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |

Tanner Ludtke | Note | Again showing nice hands, with some good sauce on a circle-to-slot powerplay pass. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |

Tanner Ludtke | Summary | Ludtke's game is all in his hands. He's a good passer and owns a quality shot, with good game awareness and vision. Unfortunately, his feet hold him back a lot and unless he improves his skating he will struggle to make an impact at the NHL level. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Lincoln (USHL) | 4/8/2023 | 6/17/2023 | 10286 |
Brad Lambert | Note | On the powerplay, carries--flying--up the left wing, runs out of space, pulls up, passes to the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |

Gracyn Sawchyn | Note | Entering the offensive zone, puck slides to him but a bit behind, tries to one-hand it in and doesn't quite, and the Petes take control.

Gracyn Sawchyn | Note | Good choice under pressure to pass to his defenseman out of the neutral zone and reset. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |
Gracyn Sawchyn | Note | Active intensity at the net. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |

Nico Myatovic | Note | has the puck deep, tries a backhand pass gives it away. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023) | 6/2/2023 | 6/3/2023 | 10285 |

Caden Price | Note | A little flat-footed in his zone on that sequence during the Slovakian attack. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Cameron Allen | Note | Wrist shot freezes the netminder, but clips the crossbar up and away. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Tangled up with Price, scrapping and wrestling after the whistle. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Frantisek Dej | Summary | Dej is a big, no-nonsense center. Good at the game of hockey, but at this point does not bring anything special to the ice. Diligent off the puck, some physicality, some offense, but looks like a marginal NHL prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Big player on the left wing, with the big player first step that looks about average. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Tries to drop a pass back through his legs, but he was stationary at his defensive zone half boards. Not the best idea. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Looks so mechanical and clunky at the end of a shift, and a step or two behind the play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Looks like a different player with the puck. Intentional, aggressive. Quick release. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | Gets a breakaway, but Dragicevic grabs hims and draws a penalty shot. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Juraj Pekarcik | Note | So strange how he looks so much better rushing up ice with the puck. Another good chance. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 2-Jun | 10284 |

Juraj Pekarcik | Summary | Pekarcik plays an aggressive up-ice attacking style of offensive, with good speed in possession and a goal-scorer's mentality. His skillset lags his style of play a bit, but he does have some upside in his development. Likely an early-mid-round pick (think 3rd round) whose development will be crucial to future success. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 2-Jun | 10284 |

Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Good pinch to keep the skittering puck in the zone and Canada on the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Maxim Strbak | Note | Center point on the powerplay, loses the puck at his feet, then loses Cellebrini who races past him. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Floating a bit in his zone. Tried a couple of hard rim pushes that didn't lead to a breakout or clearance. Cruising back towards his net while his teammate is outnumbered in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Tries to cut off th epuck at the offensive blue line but doesn't recognize the threat behind him and gives up a 2-on-0 counter. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Penatly kill, would like to see a better first step | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Maxim Strbak | Note | Methodical and calm at both ends. Not very creative, though. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Case in point, on the powerplay, skates the puck out his zone, then tries the back pass as written, but there's a Canadian player right there. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | He's a workhorse, in multiple ways. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Maxim Strbak | Summary | Strbak's future in the NHL looks like a more stay-at-home type of player who will be relied upon to kill penalties and keep forwards from holding the puck in the high-danger area of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Tristan Bertucci | Note | Transition, far side, puck goes deep and he has a choice to chase or pull up and let the forwards go after it. Tempting to chase, but he wisely pulls up. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |
Tristan Bertucci | Note | Hard, long diagonal pass with air that misses by a good bit. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs Canada (U18 2023) | 4/30/2023 | 6/2/2023 | 10284 |

Dans Locmelis | Note | Shows good awareness on defense, but maybe floating a little to high in the slot. His coverage is man-on-man, so it makes sense, but still. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Dans Locmelis | Note | Against caught reaching and it makes him flat-footed and susceptible to quick change-of-direction attacks against him. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |

Dans Locmelis | Summary | There are things to like in Locmelis's game, such as his high scoring drive, offensive skills and good acceleration, but too often he put himself out of position, lacked general awareness, and suffered from a sort of disorganized play. | Brian Fogarty | Latvia vs Canada (WC 2023) | 5/27/2023 | 5/27/2023 | 10283 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Watchful, gliding into position, rips a one-timer, but just wide. That was close. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs France (WC) | 5/22/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10282 |

Leo Carlsson | Note | A bit too upright skating, but that will get fixed no problem. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs France (WC) | 5/22/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10282 |
Leo Carlsson | Note | Release is ridiculously fast, as are his hands skills in general. Wrists are so strong. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs France (WC) | 5/22/2023 | 5/23/2024 | 10282 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Slowly backing out of the neutral zone with the puck, waiting and drawing the forechecker until an opening appears, then a clean connection to the far side red line. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | One-time slap shot from the blue line goes wide. Lots of power, though. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Settles the puck, nice slot pass to the forward with speed differential. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Tries a pinch, but misses on a reaching poke check and the Germans head up ice. However, Reinbacher gets all the way back, big powerful strides, intercepts a pass and recovers possession nicely. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Good line, then just muscles the puck away from the German puck carrier with a solid shoulder rub out on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Looks like a brick wall. Broad shoulders, solid frame. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Carries up ice, chips and the goes hard to the forecheck. Just intensity personified. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Sharp wrister from the mid point, glove save. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | As a right-handed shot, with speed, size and two-way awareness, Reinbacher is going to be a prime target for NHL gms. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Tries to clear, whiffs on the puck, turns it over That's the first clear mistake I've seen him make this game. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Doesn't give up on the play, stretching, diving, doing whatever it takes to keep the puck in the offensive zone as his team is trying to claw back into the game. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Has such a hard, heavy wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Excellent backhand leading pass that springs a great chance on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Veit heading up ice with the puck left wing boards, and Reinbacher completely neutralizes him with angle, shoulder and leg strength. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | A beast in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Note | German attackers are reversing the puck just to avoid having to take on Reinbacher. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
David Reinbacher | Summary | Probably the best all-around defenseman in the draft class. Maybe not the high offensive ceiling that someone like Dragicevic shows, but he's big, strong, fast and smart and just a killer in his own end. He will be a first-round pick and a future NHL defender that teams won't like playing against. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Chases to the endboards, forces the defender into a mistake. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Good first step and change of direction. He's agile and moves easily around the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Seems to like the chip and chase approach to zone entries, and why not. He has the speed and tenacity to get into the corner and win the puck battle. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Second time he's turned his back to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Powerplay, misses his pass attempt into the slot. Needs that to be a bit sharper. Next couple of attempts were better, though. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Solid body contact deep in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Curls in, drags, fires and scores the powerplay goal. Nice shot five hole. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | He's a battler. Never stops moving or scrapping. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Note | Little wasted movement in his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Ian Scherzer | Summary | Tenacious, very good skating and some good hand skills makes him an interesting prospect. Unlikely to go high in the draft, but someone will want to get him into their system. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Max Stiegler | Note | Comes up the right side, above average speed, then forces a too-hard backhand pass that can't connect and the puck goes tumbling into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Seemed to just watch that German rush instead of trying to get involved in it. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Just looks too passive a lot of the time. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Sees an opportunity developing, jumps hard to the slot, takes a good pass and wrists it low far side. Nice shot, but it seemed again like he was just passively waiting for something to happen, saw it, and reacted. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Veit Oswald | Note | Good speed carrying up through the neutral zone. Shifty. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Veit Oswald | Note | Had a decent chance to clear the zone, but he tried to chip out with a backward-between-his-legs move that simply did not work, and the Austrians keep it in the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Veit Oswald | Note | Veit heading up ice with the puck left wing boards, and Reinbacher completely neutralizes him with angle, shoulder and leg strength. | Brian Fogarty | Germany vs Austria (2023 WJCs) | 12/30/2022 | 4/12/2023 | 10281 |
Danila Sysuyev | Note | Looks speedy. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Danila Sysuyev | Note | Going full out but falling a step or two behind the rush. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Danila Sysuyev | Note | Backhand pass to the slot, but no one there except defenders. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Klimovich | Note | Beautiful lead pass finds him right at the blue line, and he makes no mistake on that lightning wrist shot. I wish I had a still clip of that release: huge bend, excellent weight transfer. Beauty. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Klimovich | Note | Ice-water composure. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Klimovich | Note | Gorgeous one-touch pass at speed. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Klimovich | Summary | Looks like the veteran MHLer that he is. Cool and calm, he creates chances and looks creative in the offensive zone. I'd be surprised if he goes undrafted again, but I'm not certain what his NHL potential would be. Middle six at best, and likely a KHL player that maybe comes to North America at 24 or 25. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Still likes to get right in the slot, stick on ice, and ready to pounce on a conversion opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Left side on the powerplay, just launching salvos on net. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Taking up his spot in the defensive zone, staying in touch, but not really contributing much. Mostly just stationary. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Tries to drive the puck to the slot, but there are three defenders there and he gets closed down and loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Can get some sneaky passes away because his shot draws so much attention. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Another look at his key strength as a player: getting the puck in the slot and creating something dangerous on net. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Looks so thin. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Tries to force a long diagonal that hits the only stick between himself and the intended target. Telegraphed that pass. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Backing up, then goes forward on a dime. Excellent change of direction. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Takes the hit to move the puck to his fellow defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Good keep at the blue line, then he passes up the boards and goes hard to the net, tired to tuck in a rebound but the puck dies right at the goal line. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Wrist shot fom the point sneaks through somehow. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Right point on the powerplay and he's beavertailing like mad. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Smooth puck transition, carries out of his zone, through the neutral zone and nice zone entry. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Very good passer. Flat, on the tape. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Reads pinching opportunities well, times them well, too. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Note | Excellent speed to fly to loose pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Mikhail Gulyayev | Summary | Does a lot of things well. He's a transition defenseman who distributes the puck well, particularly from the point in the offensive zone. Walks the line to open up shooting or passing lanes. Looks unruffled with the puck under pressure. This 2023 NHL draft class is light on high-end defenders, so he'll be among the first few blueliners selected. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Timofei Davydov | Note | Rocket one-timer off the faceoff beats the goaltender glove side. What a blast. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Timur Mukhanov | Note | Very small, super quick. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Timur Mukhanov | Note | Bumper on the powerplay, does not seem to mind being in the middle of it all. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Timur Mukhanov | Note | Takes the puck top right, goes to the dot, then edges hard to his left, loses the defender, and roofs it over the goalie's shoulder. Lovely powerplay goal. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Timur Mukhanov | Note | His skating gets him into and out of little spaces, making him especially effective in high-traffic areas. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klesov | Note | Wide-set strides but okay speed up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klesov | Note | Doesn't seem to have the greatest agility. Wide turning base, slow on his turn exits. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klesov | Note | Big body at the net on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Blue line to blue line in a blink. Very fast turns. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Top powerplay unit with his brother. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Slides low on the weak side, good one-timer attempt saved. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Always on the move, this time sneaking down the weak left side of the ice, one-touch attempt on a cross-crease pass but the pucks slips just on the outside of the post. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | His closing speed is ridiculous. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Mixing it up after the whistle at his own crease. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Gets the puck right point and he's suddenly in the low slot, but his wrister goes just over the bar. Wow, he's fast. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Beautiful look and completion, high to low. Nice assist. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Attacks the net right side, draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | His speed with the puck is disruptive. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Gets taken down, loses the puck, and his frustration at the non-call leaves him deep in the offensive zone while the puck is already all the way at the other end. Get up, man! | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Note | Cleans up a rebound and puts it into the open net. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Yegor Klimovich | Summary | Such an exceptionally fast skater. His wheels will give him a lot of opportunities in the future. I was not at all fond of his obvious frustration and how it derailed his game at times, but he looks like a player that might contribute in the NHL some day if he continues to develop. | Brian Fogarty | Omskie vs Sibirskie (MHL) | 3/12/2023 | 4/10/2023 | 10280 |
Danill But | Note | Looks good on his skates, mobile and balanced. Uses little crossovers steps effectively to generate speed on an angle. Long legs make his turning radius fairly wide, but he accelerates through it. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Off the bench, the attack coming towards him, he turns and easily matches the pace of the rushing opponent. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Gets caught reaching for a puck at the point and defender dips around him with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Half-hearted snap shot off the boards looks more like trying to create rebound trouble than an actual scoring attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Hard, crunching hit that could be a boarding call puts his man down to the ice. Draws a long video review and an eventual five-minute major. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | On the powerplay, right point, he exits the zone and hovers a few feet outside the blue line so that he can hit the zone again with some speed when the pass comes across from the left point. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | Uses his long reach and easy glide to drag the puck low, looks like he's going behind the net, then an ultrafast pull back behind the netminder and flicks the puck into a now-open net. Excellent goal. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Note | A few times he has done the same play, where he's at the right point, pass low to the circle then drives the center lane looking for a give and go return pass. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill But | Summary | Very interesting forward prospect. Tall, with long reach and long legs. Very good skater who is always active. Looks a bit like a guy who has not quite adapted to his length, but he showed good hands, good vision and a nose for the net. His development progression will be interesting to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill Ivanov | Note | Up top on the powerplay, stays out a long time. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill Ivanov | Note | Big windup slapper hits something in front of the crease. He was fast through the back swing and release, and the shot was low and hard but hit a skate. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill Ivanov | Note | Good line to cut off the forward from an attacking lane. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Danill Ivanov | Note | Very much a first-pass blueliner who can be effective at the point on the powerplay. Not much of a transition game. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Dmitri Simashev | Note | Big guy, rangy with long strides. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Dmitri Simashev | Note | Has the speed to easily match attacking forwards and to beat most of them up the ice. He has good turns and lateral movement, too. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Dmitri Simashev | Note | Not killing penalties at all, despite the lengthy major. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Dmitri Simashev | Note | Looks like a defender who is far more comfortable leading a rush up ice than he is defending his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Fyodor Khrapov | Note | Takes a bump and goes to the ice, a bit too easily for my liking. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Fyodor Khrapov | Note | Goes hard on the backcheck. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Fyodor Khrapov | Note | Hounding Simashev on the forecheck. That was good stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | Turns to his right, foot work is good, and the next step was powerful. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | Top penalty kill unit, where he can use that nice first step to close gaps. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | On the penalty kill, left-side player drops to block a shot, and when the puck goes back to the shooter, Rogovsky is fast to his left to clog the lane until his teammate can get back on his feet. Fast thinking, faster skating. Excellent play. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | Rogovsky and his glorious lettuce are first out to kill the major penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ilya Rogovsky | Note | Easily beats Danill Ivanov in the up ice puck race. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ivan Gavrilov | Note | Throwing his body around a lot on his first shift. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ivan Gavrilov | Note | Coach seems to be matching him against But early on. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Ivan Gavrilov | Note | Big hit with his shoulder straight into the chest. That was textbook. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Playing the bumper spot on the second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Better with his edges than power skating. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Goes to the net, but the goaltender sticks away the incoming pass. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Generating some chances coming off the left half-boards on the powerplay. First a hard wrist shot, then a pass low. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | That's a couple of times in a row he's fired a hard wrist shot into the shins of the defender. He's got to figure out a way to change the angle and get that shot around his opponent and on net. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Nikita Susuyev | Note | Highsticks the defender below the goalline. Tried to lift his stick and missed it completely. Bad enough it was deep in the offensive zone, but it was also at literally the last second of the period. His team will start the next period with a tw0-minute penalty kill to deal with. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Yegor Surin | Note | Very good speed, perhaps better than that. | Brian Fogarty | Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL) | 3/23/2023 | 4/7/2023 | 10279 |
Arjun Bawa | Note | Covering right point, forced back to defend a two-on-two rush. He looks comfortable skating backwards, just stays calm, maintains his lane, and the attack fizzles out. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Arjun Bawa | Note | Solid on the puck. Big guy, hard to move away from the boards or knock off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Arjun Bawa | Note | Big, long strides. Not quick, but he builds respectable speed. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Cash Koch | Note | Highly attentive in his zone. Watching, scanning, swiveling his head to monitor his point coverage, staying in position. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Cash Koch | Note | Unfortunately, Koch did not see much ice time in the game, but his defensive zone awareness was noteworthy in the few shifts he had. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Good speed. Low, compact strides. Skates into open space and makes a nice outlet pass. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Center point on the powerplay, moving the puck quickly, accurately. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Hard one-timer low, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Walks the puck down the left dot lane, keeps finding more space until he wrists one high and tight that Suchanek fights off with his shoulder. That was a tough shot to save. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Keeps his eyes scanning at all times, Allows his to consistently find the right outlet receiver. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Hard slapper low, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Note | Collecting the puck and making the first pass is his biggest strength. So good at it. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Hudson Thornton | Summary | Obvious from the notes is his ability to gather the puck in his zone, get a few strides into space and make a clean breakout pass. Had a few good looks at net and used a couple of different shots to try to beat Suchanek. High competitive drive, and decent all-around transition defenseman. Maybe lacks the dynamic factor that would make him an NHLer, but I would be surprised if he passes through the draft again. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jordan Gavin | Note | Left wing half-boards on the powerplay, top unit. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jordan Gavin | Note | Two steps towards the slot, pivots his hips around to face the puck (which is down in the left corner), then one-times the pass, but a big save stops him. Good shot. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jordan Gavin | Note | Agile, but not fast, really. Good speed but not much more than that, it seems. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jordan Gavin | Summary | Had a lot of ice time, and a lot of chances. Sometimes he was driving the play, and sometimes he looked a step behind the pace and more of a passenger. Has easily apparent offensive skills, and looked comfortable handling the puck in the offensive zone. Needs some development time, though, but as a 2025 draft-eligible player, he has plenty of time to do that. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Note | Moves well going backward, cuts off the lane to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Note | Straight line speed is average or a little better. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Note | Wrister from the point that Dubinsky deflects down, and the puck finds its way past Suchanek. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Note | Very good lateral movement. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Jozef Villem Kmec | Summary | Steady but unspectacular blueliner. Does all the little things well, but doesn't really stand above the rest in any one area. I can see him as a contributing bottom pair defender that adds depth and reliability to a good NHL team. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Gets a puck low right side, waits, waits, tries to lift it over Suchanek's shoulder but the goalie saves it. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Good acceleration to get to a puck. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Love the angle of attack into the zone, the pass finds him perfectly, drives, pulls up, fires low. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Not ten minutes into the game and he's already had four or five high-vision looks and completed passes. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Fighting and winning net-front battles. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Just buzzing. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | It just looks like the game is so slow to him. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Solid hit on the defenseman behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Glorious chance that Suchanek somehow gets a toe out to stop. Brilliant save robs Ziemmer there. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Another nice hit below the offensive goal line. Physicality and speed and scoring ability. Nice package of skills and desire. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Note | Likes the spinning shot on net low. Hasn't worked yet, but he'll try it from anywhere. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Koehn Ziemmer | Summary | Such an impressive player who ticks all of the boxes for a NHL forward. Very good to excellent skater who can accelerate to loose pucks or open spaces, use his edges to avoid contact or reposition, plays with some physical impact. His vision and passing are excellent, and he can either shoot from the dots or battle at the net. Easily a first-rounder who in a normal year might be knocking at the door of the top ten. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Lightning one-timer hits a leg at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Brilliant defensive line of retreat, then battles and wins position at the net. Smart play all around. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Defensive intelligence is so high. Excellent decisions all the time. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Minute and a half left, tied game, and he's diving at the offensive blue line to keep his powerplay unit in the offensive zone. Pops back to his feet to control the play, and earns his team extended zone pressure time. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Summary | There's a reason that Dragicevic is the most relied-upon defender for Tri-City. Speed, smooth four-way movement, high-level scoring and offensive skills packaged with near-elite defensive acumen, and with size. He's an NHL impact blueliner through and through. Unquestionably the top defenseman in this draft class. | Brian Fogarty | Prince George vs Tri-City | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10278 |
Connor Levis | Note | Out killing penalties early in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Connor Levis | Note | Stankoven with a nice feed, but Levis lets the puck go through his skates and it's a turnover and counter attack the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Connor Levis | Note | Nice check into the boards. Solid, clean. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Connor Levis | Note | Likes to be at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Emmitt Finnie | Note | Lead pass takes him into the offensive zone, tries to split two defenders but gets upended. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Up top on the second penalty kill unit. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Good speed on the forecheck. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Tries a hit at the boards, but mostly misses. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Gets spun around and shows good balance to just 360 and maintain momentum up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Can't convert the amazing feed from Honzek. Just didn't do anything with it despite the excellent chance. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Same shift, lifts the puck up over the glass from his own end and takes the delay penalty. That went from bad to worse. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Note | Bends at the waist, but is a bit stiff-legged. Okay skater, but can improve. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Jaden Lipinski | Summary | Lipinski looks like a project player. Has good size, and some good tools, but just isn't playing at a high enough mental pace yet. Given time, he could there, though. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Right wing on the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Tall, but very fluid on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Carries toward the slot, dangles then slips a fast-release pass low right side. Excellent look. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Carries with confidence and uses his edges and long reach to evade trouble. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Has the puck right halfboards, and finds the far-side cutter with a spectacular look and pass. No finish from Lipinski, but what a chance created. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Shove to Hofer's back is about the most physical I've seen from Honzek so far this game. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Going full out he has excellent speed. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | I like how he used his shoulder and hip to wedge between the puck and the opposing player and gain control. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Sort of attempts a hit but mostly just bumped the puck carrier instead of driving through him. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Note | Curls off the right wall, snipes short side and beats the netminder clean. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Samuel Honzek | Summary | Composed, tall forward with a lot of talent. His passes stood out--clearly--in this game, but his shot looked good, too. The Giants were clearly outmatched by the powerhouse Blazers in the game, but Honzek was easily the best Vancouver player. He'll be an NHLer, for sure. I'd like to see him improve his physical play, but he has all the tools to be a top-six forward and a scoring threat. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | Okay movement laterally, a little methodical maybe. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | Nice acceleration to change speeds off the glide and get back. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | Double-shifting, it seems, killing penalties, too. He's on the ice a lot, here. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | Low wrist shot, saved but leaves a juicy rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Note | He can produce very good top speed. He's first to a lot of loose pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Ty Halaburda | Summary | Halaburda is a smart, 200-foot player with very-good-to-excellent speed. Lacks a dynamism and offensive flair, though, and I think that will limit his upside by quite a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Vancouver vs Kamloops (WHL) | 4/1/2023 | 4/3/2023 | 10277 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Nice, hard shoulder contact in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Another good shoulder check. Really asserting a physical presence early in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Produces a ton of speed using crossovers out of his turn. Graceful power. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Huge burst of speed there going after the long pass. Like a rocket. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Can really fire the puck on the move. Hard, sneaky and jet-fast release. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Finishing every check. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Has the size, speed, patience, skills. He's ready for the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Great backcheck effort, a two-step change of speed and long reach to disrupt the backdoor chance to Cooley. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Adam Fantilli | Summary | Despite the tough competition from Leo Carlsson for the second overall spot in the 2023 draft, I think Fantilli is a lock. He moves, thinks, handles everything so well, and has such great game awareness, that he really does look ready for the NHL right now. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Cooley blocks a shot, and Lamb joins him on the odd-man rush.Not as fast as Cooley, but fast enough. Turns his hips to open up for the pass and wires on over the sprawling netminder. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Muscles his way through traffic up the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Brody Lamb | Summary | Continues to look like a potential NHLer, but probably with a bottom-six upside. Solid player but he hasn't shown game-breaking ability at this level. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Super quick. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Left side with the puck, one-handed control trying to turn the corner and leverage the defender with his inside arm, but gets forced behind the net by sound defensive positional play. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Killing penalties against the vaunted Minnesota top unit. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Always on the puck. And his speed is so dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Leads a rush, hard angle, but snappy shot rebound creates a breakout the other way, and Brindley is going 200 feet to break up the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Faster than anyone else on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Third assist of the game. He's factored in on all three goals for the Wolverines. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | I think he'll get an assist on that goal, too, but if he does, it's more puck luck than a clean secondary assist. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Note | Races to beat an icing late, up a goal, two minutes left. What hustle! | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Gavin Brindley | Summary | His speed is a killer, but his ability to consistently affect the game on every shift that makes him look like a solid NHL-caliber player despite his 5'9, 157 frame. He works so hard to make an impact, and the puck just finds him. His father played at 5'10 and near 200 pounds, so if Gavin can add an inch of height and maybe get to 175, even better. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Snuggerud with a beautiful pass. One tap give and go through traffic at speed. Just wonderful activity. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Snuggerud is skating much better these days. Seems like every time I see him his feet look better. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Big hit dislodges the puck, he collects and starts another attack. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Blasts up ice to join Snuggerud on a break and snipes a goal. Cooley is flying. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Luke Hughes | Note | Not having his best game, but he's still driving play up ice. So much fun to watch him transition the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Smooth on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Plants into Brindley and puts him down. Knies is so big and strong. Brindley is…not. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Beats Luke Hughes with an inside out move, draws a trip and one could argue for a penalty shot, there. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Rhett Pitlick | Note | Highlight goal! Eventually puts the defender on his belly with a sequence of forehand-backhand moves, then pots it. Incredible goal. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | McGroarty cleaning up rebounds at the crease. Twice in just a minute. Great hands in tight. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Ill-advised back pass gets tipped and springs Snuggerud. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Michingan (NCAA) | 3/18/2023 | 3/30/2023 | 10276 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Snappy wrist shot from the point, low to the ice, redirected for the goal. Strong release, nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Pass across to his defensive pair along the blue line, too much loft, hard to receive and the pass goes past his man. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Sharp wrist shot from the point, tipped down in front, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Pass back to his defenseman, too hard, and behind him. His defensive pair has to retreat to collect. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Looks good carrying the puck in transition, gains the zone, passes to an opponent. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Bumps his man off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Dips, dekes, enters the zone, wrist shot high slot, easy save. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Brutal giveaway, just a horrible choice. Gave the puck away inside his own blue line for a two-on-zero against. Easy goal that cuts the Youngstown lead to just one in the third period. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Note | Carries into the zone, loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Andrew Strathmann | Summary | Has some obvious offensive upside, but his mental errors were numerous and at times nearly unforgiveable. His best asset appears to be his shot, but his game IQ and decision-making appears to be his worst. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Brandon Svoboda | Note | Smooth on his skates, great acceleration off the glide. Easy speed. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |

Brandon Svoboda | Note | Like his skating a lot. Builds speed quickly, and keeps building. Fast skater, smooth feet. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Brandon Svoboda | Note | Defender is caught low, and he slides back to cover the right point. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Brandon Svoboda | Summary | He's 6'3, 212 pounds and his a very good skater, with easy mobility. Battles in the corners and on the walls. Not a lot of offensive upside at this point, but he has the tools to develop into a sturdy, bottom-six forward especially if he can improve his offense. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
James Reeder | Note | Average skater. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
James Reeder | Note | Not the flashiest acceleration. Upright skater. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
James Reeder | Note | Left wing on the second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Lucas St. Louis | Note | Likes using his edges a lot, always in motion. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Lucas St. Louis | Note | Gets caught way up ice, and shows little hustle trying to get back. Just sort of wandered back to his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Lucas St. Louis | Note | Center point on the 1-3-1 powerplay. Moves the puck with authority. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Note | Wide stride, average speed, average acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Note | Really nice one-touch, diagonal pass through the neutral zone finds the head man right at the blue line. That was a smart pass, and shows excellent awareness and vision. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Note | Creates a turnover, two-on-one follows, gets an assist. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Note | Centering the second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Note | Noting that on many shifts he looks dead-legged by the end. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Michael Burchill | Summary | Some moments of offensive flair and intelligence, but his feet will hold him back. He will have a lot of work in front of him if he wants to proceed up the levels. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Note | Stride has his feet crazy far apart, never coming back in front. Very awkward looking and power limiting. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Note | Snaps a cross-ice pass to get a clean zone entry, but doesn't have the speed to follow appropriately and the puck carrier gets swamped with no options. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Note | Runs into his own man in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Note | Feet are so wide, he can't generate any push at all. Needs desperately to fix that. Does Dubuque have a skating coach? | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Noah Powell | Summary | Can almost write the same summary as I did for Burchill. Has some moments, but his skating needs so much work. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Ties to thread a cross-ice pass through two defenders and it's blocked and turned over. Risky choice on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Next pass attempt gets some air, finds the cutter in the high slot. Better choice, better pass. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Smaller, speedy player. Aggressive at times, but glides a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Pucks pops to him off the faceoff, cutting behind the dot to the slot, snap wrister that the goalie was able to fight off, but only just. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Same play off the next faceoff, but this time hs slides the puck back to the point, and then goes to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Patient with the puck under pressure. Keeps working, maintains possession while avoiding pokes and lifts. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Physical game despite his size. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Excellent line to get back and prevent a shorthanded breakaway. Speed helped him a lot, but that was a smart recovery, too. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | High agility and fast hands means he can generate chances quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Will Whitelaw | Summary | One of the best players in the game, certainly of the group that I was watching. At 5'9, 173, he is on the smaller end of the NHL forward spectrum, but his skating is good enough, and he has the offensive flair to make the NHL but possibly only as a marginal player. | Brian Fogarty | Dubuque vs Youngstown (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/5/2023 | 10275 |
Chris Delaney | Note | Not watching him, but that is the second time I've seen him turn his back to the puck and just skate away not noticing that if he had turned toward that puck instead he would have had easy possession and a clear attacking lane. Ooof. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Shows very good speed sprinting up ice during a rush. Then gives good effort to get back. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Drifts back with the puck, holding until the line change is made, then a crisp pass to the open winger at speed. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Drifting a bit in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | On a night when the ice was incredibly snowy, it's been fun watching him adjust his pass weight to compensate. Passes getting harder and sharper each time. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Like him a lot better moving forward than playing in his own end. His defensive game needs help. Plays up too high, looks more for transition options than protecting his net. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Note | Getting outmuscled at the net front, losing positional battles. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jake Livanage | Summary | An offensive-style defenseman who needs to improve his commitment in his own end. Just not playing hard enough in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Peels out of the left corner with the puck, curls, finds Celebrini right circle for a one-timer. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | One-timer shoulder saved. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Bad pass behind his man kills a zone entry possibility, the ice is so bad pucks are just dying. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Drives past two Cedar Rapids players, turns the corner, finds Celebrini at the net front for a tap-in goal. Great play. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Superb pass that wasn't converted. Too bad, because that was a beauty. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Note | Shifty with the puck on his stick. Good handle, good edges. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Jayden Perron | Summary | Highly skilled player who works so well with his linemate Celebrini. He showed excellent awareness, good skating especially with the puck, and a natural ability. Like him. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | He's going to be a good skater. Light on his edges, good four-way movement. Stride is a little sloppy but that will get better. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Just not getting any ice time at all so far. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Out for a shift, looks speedy, working hard, steals a puck and no-looks a pass to a better option who boots it. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Another nice pass that the receiver loses. He's getting no help. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Getting a lot more ice time in the third period with Wisdom out of action. Quicker than he is fast, but he's got good wheels. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Note | Beautiful cross-ice pass. Great vision on this kid to find open players. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Logan Renkowski | Summary | The young player did not see much action in the first two periods, but got better ice time in the third. Very good skater who will get even better, and showed excellent vision and passing. It will be fun to watch him develop. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Reads Perron's turn and quickly sets up near the right dot. One-timer, but didn't get all of it, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Not the best acceleration. He's just not digging in for hard pushes, but at speed he is a very good skater. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Takes a hit, stays on his skates while the other guy goes down to the ice. Strong base. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Cutting through traffic in the offensive zone, passes back between his legs, but the play dies on his teammate's stick. Good look that deserved better. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Consistently winning faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |

Mack Celebrini | Note | Goes to the net, tips in the excellent Perron feed. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Sets up for a one-timer, but instead sends a one-touch pass to the far post. Excellent look that should have been a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Tries to deke around his man, who essentially tackles him (no call), then he's up and racing back to nullify an odd-man rush against. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Own end, positions at the near post with the play behind the net, intercepts the centering pass and clears it out. Smart defensive play. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Impressed by his defensive play. He plays a high-IQ game, with a lot of offensive skills but still digs in at his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Tied game with 8 minutes left and he's battling for pucks like this is a Stanley Cup game seven. Love it. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Gets tackled for the third time, and finally gets a call. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Note | Jaw-dropping move and finish. Gets a puck moving down his own blue line, dekes the F1, gains speed through the neutral zone, dekes the left winger by dropping the puck around the defender's back then skating around him to it, recovers, curls the defenseman, then wrists it far post and in. Gorgeous play. Wow. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Mack Celebrini | Summary | Sensational player. Whip smart, dedicated at both ends, superb work ethic, skills, passing, shot. He's the entire package and he plays the game like he was born to it. Excellent prospect. Just so much fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Nick Moldenhauer | Note | Mostly ineffective. Average speed, looks kind of clumsy at times, but then shows nice vision or awareness. He needs lots of work. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | Wide strides, and wide turns, but he gets up ice quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | Gets a puck high slot, tries the five hole but his wrist shot is saved. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | On the forecheck, pressuring, defender bobbles the puck and Wisdom steals, steps hard to the net, beats the netminder from the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | Attacking the zone entry with speed, but his game looks so linear. He's straight ahead, single minded, plays like he's on rails. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Zaccharya Wisdom | Note | Takes a puck in the face after a pass attempt ramped off a stick. Leaves the game with a towel on his face. Ouch. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/17/2023 | 3/3/2023 | 10274 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | Speedy defender, eager to get into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | Takes a solid hit but keeps his feet. Excellent balance, there. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | Uses his speed to chase down a breakaway and lifts the stick to prevent the shot. Great hustle, clean play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | High scoring drive and is constantly involved in the offense. He wants the puck, but he's not overcommitting nor neglecting his defensive responsibilities. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Note | Elusive with the puck as he uses his feet to outmaneuver opposing forwards at the point. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Aram Minnetian | Summary | At 6'0, 170 his has a full-package skating skillset that makes him dangerous in all three zones. Doesn't show a great shot at this point, and will need to work on his offensive contributions, but if he continues to develop his hand skills, he could become a solid NHL transition defender. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Note | Looking indecisive in his own and just got caught trying to both go up ice and get back, and his man just skated away from him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Note | Big guy, very tall. Average speed, bends at the waist instead on in his knees. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Note | Turns away from the play and doesn’t see the turnover, so he's going up ice when the play was going the other way towards his own net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Note | Tries to dump and chase but he doesn't have the wheels to beat the defender to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Austin Burnevik | Summary | I think Burnevik still has a lot to work on his game. He was not fast enough, creative enough or physical enough to make much of an impact in this game. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |

Sasha Boisvert | Note | Long body, thin legs, moves very well though. He gets to speed easily. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |
Sasha Boisvert | Note | Drives the offensive zone towards the left dot, loses the puck to a well-timed poke check. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |

Will Smith | Note | Harassing on the forecheck, poking, lifting, right side, left side, until the puck carrier makes a bad choice to escape pressure by passing backwards up the boards, straight to Leonard for a counter. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 1/21/2023 | 2/27/2023 | 10273 |

Leo Carlsson | Note | Near the red line, pass coming from his defensive zone, and he turns to shield the passing lane from the defender, gains positional advantage and creates a clear line of attack.

Leo Carlsson | Note | Getting some unfavorable bounces, or he'd have a couple of points in this game already. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |
Leo Carlsson | Summary | Carlsson is the full NHL package. At 6'3, 194, he already has an imposing physical presence, but he plays such an intelligent game, with such good body awareness and stick skills that he could play in the NHL now. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs) | 12/27/2022 | 2/25/2023 | 10272 |

Axel Sandin Pellikka | Note | Left halfboards on the top PP unit. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Felix Unger Sorum | Note | Skating is really sub-par. Just took about twenty steps to go ten feet. No knee bend, no push, just a ton of wasted movement in his feet. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Noah Dower-Nilsson | Note | Good skater, smooth edge work and good form. Will get even faster over time. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Oliver Moore | Note | Carving his way through the offensive zone with the puck. May be the best skater in this game. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Oliver Moore | Summary | There is so much to like in Moore's game, but it all starts with his feet. He is a full-package skater, and plays a comptetitive game with a high work rate.

I need additional viewings to have a better gauge of his offensive game. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Will Smith | Note | Now the US is on a 5-on-3, Smith carries down the right boards, below the goal line, shifts a pass to the other corner. I want to see more spark in his play. Just not a lot of urgency. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | Release on his wrist shot is lightning, though. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |
Will Smith | Note | Like his vision and passing. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Will Smith | Note | He has an array of deceptive moves, built out from his passing ability. Shoulder dips, head fakes, torso twists. Keeping the opponents off balance. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Will Smith | Summary | Smith is an extremely skilled puck handler and passer. His stick work can look elite at times, and his vision and awareness are absolutely NHL level. However, I am concerned after watching this game that he may not be able to do those same things when the pace of the game is NHL level. As a U18, he can use his hands to beat anyone on the ice, but he will need to get his game pace to match his hands if he wants to continue to have the same kind of success against the world's best players. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s) | 2/10/2023 | 2/24/2023 | 10270 |

Adam Fantilli | Note | Lowers his shoulder and drops the oncoming forward. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Adam Fantilli | Note | Holds the puck at reach while carrying, which affords him a wider range of options to pull it back, around, etc. With his hands, he can use that reach as a weapon. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Andrew Cristall | Note | Crossover skater, but his transition to power is okay. Keeps his feet moving a lot, good energy early. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Andrew Cristall | Note | Carries into the ozone, flicks the puck to left point then goes straight to the crease. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Andrew Cristall | Note | Nice job paying attention in his own end, ties up Firkus's stick just as the pick gets there and took away a great scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Andrew Cristall | Note | Fast out to the point to close down the puck, then back again the the high slot and another excellent stick lift to destroy and one timer attempt. Working hard on defense. Love it. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Andrew Cristall | Note | Physical on the walls. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Andrew Cristall | Note | Low right side on the pp, holds while a sliding defender goes past him, steps left, holds to try to open the Nettie, then shoots far side but the goaltender gets the edge of his blocker on it to make the save. Nice, patient work down low. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Carson Rehkopf | Note | Very lax on the penalty kill. Had a chance to change, didn't. Tried to cheat the zone, got caught. Didn't move his feet. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Carson Rehkopf | Note | Two opponents entering the zone left side, with Rehkopf inside both. He tries to jump past the inner most player to get to the puck carrier instead of keeping position and bottling them both. When he made the jump, the puck carrier read it well and just slipped the pass to his now open teammate with an open lane to the net. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | Big, looking to make a hit, maneuvers around a player but was a bit late to make hard contact on the puck carrier, so he wisely eased up. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | Out on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | Not the smoothest skater laterally or in tight turns, but he works hard to get the puck on net. His edgework isn't the prettiest on ice today, though | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | On the penalty kill, intercepts in his own slot, then a beauty short pass to open up the breakout for Gauthier. That little pass created a dangerous 2-on-1 short handed attack. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colby Barlow | Note | In deep on the penalty kill forecheck, but he reads the switch and hustles back to cover in his own end. I like the work ethic he's showing in this game. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Colton Dach | Note | Not watching him, but he's been noticeable in the game. He's developing nicely, it seems, since the last time I watched him. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Kalan Lind | Note | High hit sends Lind to the box. Keep your hands down. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Kalan Lind | Note | First step is very good. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Kalan Lind | Note | Gets possession in the offensive zone, lots of time, spins a cross ice pass to the middle of nowhere. Opposing defenseman just skates over and picks it up. No idea what he was doing with that pass attempt. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Kalan Lind | Note | A point shot was partially blocked, and skittered toward Lind at the top of the crease. He tried a turning one-touch shot that was smothered. He had time to catch and shoot, which likely would have given him a better chance. He tried a deceptive play that was well read, but a more deliberate play could have given him a better reward. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Matthew Wood | Note | Hard shot from a wrister on the move. A bit wide, but lots of heat. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Matthew Wood | Note | Turning radius is wide, but his hips are quick on forward to backward swivel. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Matthew Wood | Note | Great read to intercept the Del Mastro exit pass, drives across the line and rips a shot from the high slot, again just wide. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Matthew Wood | Note | Gets to the lower right circle, settles, shoots and scores. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Matthew Wood | Note | Had two options to pass, and he made the one I wanted to see. Literally said out loud, "There you go." | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Matthew Wood | Note | Hard, right-handed wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Riley Heidt | Note | Finding chances for shot attempts and using them. He has a quick release and good accuracy. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Riley Heidt | Note | Excellent choice to bounce a pass off the glass from just inside his blue line. Put it up and past two opposing players to find his line mate with space just past the red line. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Riley Heidt | Note | Well positioned to stop the pass out of the corner to the back door defender. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Powerplay, right front side of the crease. Doesn't beaver tail, but slaps his stick down on the ice and leaves it as a target. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Takes a hit, but keeps his feet and recovers possession. Great balance. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Scott Ratzlaff | Note | He's been great through the first 35 minutes. Reading well, good hard lateral pushes. Making quality saves and controlling the rebounds. I don't watch the goalies, but this performance has been tough to ignore. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |
Tanner Molendyk | Note | Speedy, high mobility on edges and technique, forward and backward. Excellent skating. | Brian Fogarty | U18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022) | 7/27/2022 | 7/27/2022 | 10269 |

Connor Brown | Note | End to end with the puck. Fast. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |

Griffin Erdman | Note | Handling the puck well in traffic | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |
Kevin Bicker | Note | Creates a shorthanded attack with his speed, sticks to it, puts the rebound back to the crease, and the second man in puts that away. Great effort from Bicker. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |
Kevin Bicker | Note | Scoring drive is obvious. Wants to get the puck tot the net. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |
Lucas St. Louis | Note | Big, hard hit levels the passer. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |
Lucas St. Louis | Note | Shows good shot from the point. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |
Quentin Musty | Note | Tries to push his way into the zone, bobbles and loses the puck. Forced the play | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |
Quentin Musty | Note | Beauty sauce to the slot hits Terrance in stride, goal. Great setup pass. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |
Quentin Musty | Note | Floating out high in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |
Quentin Musty | Note | I know the US is up 3-0, but Musty's effort has been underwhelming. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |

Quentin Musty | Note | Tries to skate the puck through two defenders. Another turnover. Gah. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |
Quentin Musty | Note | When he shows his skill with a simple play, he shines. But mostly he's forcing, or waiting for someone else to do the work so he can shoot. Not at all happy with his play this game. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Quick with the puck, skates it along the neutral zone boards and gets into the zone. He went past probably three potential road blocks there. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |
Will Whitelaw | Note | Excellent speed, right handed shot playing on the left side. He keeps driving the puck in deep. Always moving. | Brian Fogarty | US vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10268 |

Ethan Gauthier | Note | Hard rub off at the half board forces the puck back into the corner. Then Gauthier moves to the empty space in the slot and when Benson gets the puck to him, there's no wasted time or movement. One touch snap shot against the grain. Goal | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switerland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 202 | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10267 |
Matthew Wood | Note | Very upright and stiff on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Switerland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 202 | 7/31/2022 | 8/1/2022 | 10267 |

Aron Kiviharju | Note | Lovely soft pass from behind his own net to play his line mate into safe space. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Aron Kiviharju | Note | Left point, Wood pokes the puck free from him and heads for a breakaway. Kiviharju closes back, gets position, angles Wood out and below the goal line. Excellent recovery play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Brayden Yager | Note | One pp sequence: carries in, passes behind the net to the far corner. Circles back, waits, gets the puck and shoots low far side, kick save. Curls back to the same spot, gets the puck and shows shot but passes far circle for a onetime chance, hits the post. Curls back again. Gets the puck, wrists it high short side off the bar and out of play. What an excellent display of patience, shooting, passing, and awareness.

Calum Ritchie | Note | Moves so well. Smooth and graceful on his edges, long strides generate speed. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Back on ice, but favoring that arm. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Jesse Nurmi | Note | On the pp, carries with speed up the left side, but has to curl out and passes back to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Jesse Nurmi | Note | Gets to a rebound, but a great save from Ratzlaff robs him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Jesse Nurmi | Note | Okay speed. Doesn't use it a lot, though. Playing kind of stationary in both zones. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Mathieu Cataford | Note | Not dynamic on the transition there. More plodding than attacking. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Tuomas Uronen | Note | Harassing with his stick, gets called for tripping. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |

Tuomas Uronen | Note | Acelleration looked crisp there | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022) | 8/5/2022 | 8/6/2022 | 10266 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Took a couple of small crossover steps there, when I think he would have rather seen him dig in and push, but after those first steps he was fast up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Back deep in his own end to retrieve a puck, then it's up and out. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Jiri Kulich | Note | Lots of energy on the forecheck. Harassing the puck, taking away lanes. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Man, he wants to score. Just drove straight at the net, but the pass never made it to him. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Speed is excellent or even better. He accelerates on his turns. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | He's an amazing skater. Highly agile. Not an explosive first step, but he is at speed in two or three steps. Dynamite on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Jiri Kulich | Summary | His entire game is built from his feet up. Speed, agility, fantastic spatial awareness. Works hard in all zones and looks like he has a high scoring drive.

Michael Gut | Note | Picks up a loose puck in his own zone, powers the puck through the neutral zone, makes a clean entry across the blue line, then passes off to the right wing. Okay speed, okay hands, but kind of rough on the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | Using his edges well to gain lateral movement on his glide and then to reverse at the crease. He is a good backwards skater. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | Pops up a little upright on his first step. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Michael Gut | Note | Puck goes back to the goaltender, and Gut sees the Germans changing. Calls for the puck, but instead of beavertailing, he points to the area of the ice where he wants to the puck to go. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Summary | Looks a lot more like a quality defensive, possession center than a scorer, but he does have some offensive upside. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Michael Gut | Note | He continues to work hard, but no one is getting the puck to him when he's in the high-danger area. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Sebastian Malat | Note | Sees the Germans get the puck, and he's back and in defensive position immediately. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Sebastian Malat | Note | Overextends and gets beat, allows his man around him in the neutral zone, but gets lucky because the play was called offsides. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Again, in the neutral zone, just puts his stick out to try to slow the puck carrier, and again the carrier just goes right on by. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Coming up the right wing with speed, turns the corner on the defender, shovels a backhand shot high short side, shoulder save. Malat showing great speed, there. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Sebastian Malat | Summary | Too many mistakes, too much playing at his feet instead of head up, eyes out focus. Has the speed and defensive awareness to be a penalty killer, bottom line forward, but in this game he looked like a guy who would struggle to stay at that level. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |
Sebastian Malat | Note | Held the puck too long and turned it over under pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Germany (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 6/23/2022 | 10265 |

Fraser Minten | Note | Nice outside-in move with the puck, beats Mateychuk but not the goalie. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Fraser Minten | Summary | Kind of average in the game, nothing bad but nothing special, either. He looks like a player that could break into the NHL as a role player at 21 or 22 if all goes well for him. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Josh Filmon | Note | Gets the puck in the high slot area on the powerplay, skates it towards the point, but into more trouble than clear space, turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Luca Del Bel Belluz | Note | Long legs, playing mostly stationary and slow right now. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Note | Having a hard time matching the pace of this game. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Note | Lost his feet pretty easily there after a shove from Lindgren. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Luca Del Bel Belluz | Summary | Disappointing game. He showed a few moments of potential, but those were often washed out by sort of lackluster play. Spent a lot of time watching. The tools are there if he ever wants to use them, though. Decent skater, decent hands. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Mats Lindgren | Note | Gets a puck behind his net, then uses fast crossover steps to back out and turn up ice with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Maveric Lamoureux | Note | Shoves more than hits Verreault, but dumps him off the puck just the same. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | So tall he plays kind of bent over at the waist. Awkward lateral movement. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | Good on his feet in general, which is outstanding for someone as tall as he is at his age. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | Geekie able to turn the corner on him. Lamoureux just kind of laid his stick out there as a form of defense. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Note | Physical player, but bumps guys a lot more than he lines up huge hits. Still, at his size, the bumps pack some force. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Maveric Lamoureux | Summary | Hard not to want him to succeed at his size. It will take him a while, but when he puts it all together he could become a nice middle-pair, first pass, stay-at-home defender. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Michael Buchinger | Note | Chasing the puck behind his own net, getting crossed up a bit in coverage. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Michael Buchinger | Note | Allows Gaucher to get around him going after a dumped in puck, then ties him up at the boards. Good play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Looks like he's roaming the ice trying to find someone to hit. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Nathan Gaucher | Note | Chases Donovan behind the net on the penalty kill forecheck, starts to lose him, slashes, slashes again, and gets called for the second one. Now a 5-on-3 as he goes to the box. Not smart, beginning to end. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Not the best stops and turns. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Nathan Gaucher | Note | Quick hands to convert the feed for a one-touch goal from the edge of crease. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Nathan Gaucher | Summary | Will need to improve his first few steps and agility, but the power forward moves and strength are there if he can. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Owen Pickering | Note | Reads the incoming pass, steps up, reaches out, and deflects the pass away before it can reach it's target. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Tristan Luneau | Note | Snaps a quick-release pass from blue line to blue line, right on target. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |

Tristan Luneau | Summary | Luneau showed above average skating and hands, and with his offensive drive, he could become a legit top-four NHL transition defender. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2022 | 3/23/2022 | 6/21/2022 | 10264 |
Cameron Lund | Note | Gets the puck left hashmarks, but turns away from the net, then leaves a soft pass easily picked off. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |

Cutter Gauthier | Summary | Uses his size well, and has power in his feet, which he also uses to generate physical power on the boards. His hit of Greene was high and late and unnecessary, though. He showed good hockey iq otherwise, made some smart plays on and off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |

Frank Nazar | Note | Goes hard into the endboards after flying at the net in a scoring chance footrace. Draws a tripping penalty and goes slowly to the bench. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Frank Nazar | Summary | Has the hands to make things happen and a nose for the net. His skating is very good to excellent, and his offensive hockey sense is keen.

Isaac Howard | Note | Hustles up the left boards, slips past the check, then makes a nice find and pass to Leonard cutting to the crease. Excellent assist. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |

Isaac Howard | Note | Extends his stick arm to push the puck ahead while holding off the defender with his free arm to maintain possession as he carries behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Wants to get out of the defensive zone as fast as possible. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Good edges, goes 10-and-2 to open up for an incoming pass. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Playing left wing on Nazar's line. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Blows past the attempt to stand him up at the blue line, head up at the left-side half boards, then he wires a beautiful pass to the crease to find Leonard for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | First step is easy and impressive. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Not a lot of urgency to get back to his own end, not a ton of energy off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Closing in on a loose puck just inside the offensive zone, head up, looking for options as he gets to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | On the powerplay, takes a puck center ice, tries to split two defenders as he enters the offensive zone despite having two much better options on either side of him. Turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Isaac Howard | Note | When he has the puck with time, he is a dangerous playmaker. Otherwise, he is not nearly as effective. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jayson Shaugabay | Note | Smaller player at 5'10, moves well, engaged. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jayson Shaugabay | Note | Jumps to a loose puck, skates into space at the left circle, pulls up, passes back to the high slot, but a bit in the attacker's feet. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Turns are okay, but his first step lags a bit. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Just not very fast. His form is okay, but his feet are slow to move through the entire stride and return. Limits his speed and acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | No looks a pass from right circle to left to find a wide-open Duke and an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Note | Nice little pass that leads Nazar into a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Jimmy Snuggerud | Summary | Not the fastest player on the ice, but he made a significant impact at both ends with tenacity and puck movement. He'll bump, he'll grind, and then he'll make a nice read and pass that ends up with the puck in the back of the net. Probably more of a quality middle-six type than top six, but he looks like he has the tools to be an NHLer. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Note | Back looks a little hunched over as he glides, but better when he skates. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Note | Hustles back for a puck, protects and turns from the forechecker until he finds an long outlet pass. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Note | Carries with speed and maneuverability through transition in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Note | Sees the ice well, and makes some creative passes with loft and appropriate weighting. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Lane Hutson | Summary | Transition defender, keeps his head up and seems happiest when the puck is on his stick. Good passer with vision and patience to pick out the right first pass out of his zone when carrying isn't the option. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Great middle man on the tic-tac-toe, takes the pass right circle and one-times a pass to Gauthier far post. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Everywhere in the offensive zone. Green Bay having a hard getting a stick on him, then a creative backwards pass through his legs to the crease that deserved a better conversion. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Takes a great line through the neutral zone, then picks up speed to beat the defender to the corner. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Great job covering Cooley, wins the puck, turns up ice and passes to start the breakout, then gets clobbered by Gauthier. That looked like a headshot and a half-tick late. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Looking like he's playing at 3/4 speed. I wonder if that Gauthier hit has zapped him a bit. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Ryan Greene | Note | Wrists one top far side from the left circle. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL) | 3/27/2022 | 5/25/2022 | 10263 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Gets to the high slot, gets a pass, turns and puts it on net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | So quick, acceleration is excellent, speed and agility are top level. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Takes a pass driving the right circle, but the defender is on him, so he goes behind the net, using it to rub off Reinbacher, then passes out to the other side - goal. Good play from Lambert. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Skating is beautiful and fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Jumps to a loose puck in the slot, tries to pull it in, toe drag, and the puck rolls off his stick and he turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | His game in a snapshot: he's first to a puck in the corner. Tries to change direction back behind the net, loses the puck, watches the Austrian player skate away. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Four-on-four, he hits the offensive zone with speed, then tries to take on all four Austrian players instead of looking for anyone else. What was that? | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Brad Lambert | Summary | Maybe the best skater in the draft class. His movement, acceleration, speed are all elite. He has good hands and shot, but there are too many times when he tries to do too much or doesn't try enough to get it back. So much to like, but still a lot of question marks for me. If he can develop into a player who absorbs the game instead of fighting it, he could be a top-line NHL forward. If not, he'll bounce around more, have some flashes, but never meet expectations. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Gets to a loose puck first, absorbs the hit to move the puck up the wall. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
David Reinbacher | Note | Physical, seals off his man well in front of the net. Fights for position. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Joakim Kemell | Note | Jumps a gap to a puck in a flash. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Joakim Kemell | Note | Slap shot from the center point crushes the post. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Joakim Kemell | Note | His puckhandling hard reverse just made me gasp. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Joakim Kemell | Summary | Kemell is all about the shot. He can play hockey, has the footspeed and vision to be a good forward, but his shot could make him special. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Johannes Tschuring | Note | Speed is quality even when he's not full out. Like his stride mechanics. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Juuso Maenpaa | Note | 5'7, 148. I know the league is easier now for small players, but that is small. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Juuso Maenpaa | Note | Stride/mechanics look good. Smooth form. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Luca Auer | Note | Good speed, plays the body, goes to the front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Luca Auer | Note | Not a lot of quickness/acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | Smooth, efficient skater. Long extensions, good edges. Speedy. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | Such a battler. He'll dig and dig on the wall, hustles all of the time. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | Holding, maneuvering around the forecheck, trying to pen something up. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | Sticks with Paivarinta, which is not easy to do. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Marco Kasper | Note | So good in possession. Screens the puck from defenders, handles around them, moves it well, uses the boards. Just a high-quality puck possession player. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | Nice shot block. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | Another tough shot block. That one hurt. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | Acceleration looks very good. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
Vinzenz Rohrer | Note | Shows some speed going backwards. That was impressive. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022) | 12/27/2021 | 5/24/2022 | 10262 |
David Jiricek | Note | Smooth slide to his right while going backwards, easily cuts off an attempt to go around him, | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Gunther tries to dangle and go around, but Jiricek stops him cold. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Steps up at the red line to pick off a long head-man pass. Carries to the blue line at speed, passes live, then goes hard to the net. Great play. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | He's an aggressive defender, closing spaces with intent | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | When the puck is on his off side, he hustles back to establish defensive position before the play arrives. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Bedard catches Jiricek leaning on the wrong foot, cuts to go around, but Jiricek recovers with a long reach and pokes the puck away. No threat. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Anticipates the opposing players' intentions so well. He's reading minds out there. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | Holds until the lane appears, then makes a sharp pass to start the transition up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Note | And there's the knee injury I knew was coming. Stepping up to hit Guhle, leg-on-leg contact, and Jiricek's knee takes the worst of it. Too bad. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
David Jiricek | Summary | Jiricek is the total NHL defender prospect. Good wheels, ability to move lateral and turn with top opposing forwards. He's strong on the puck and along the walls, and his balance allows him to lean into players to negate their options. He's aggressive to attack the puck when that's an option, but responsible and doesn't give up attacks. Moving up ice, he's patient with the puck and goes hard into the attack. He's going to be an excellent NHL defenseman and likely a cornerstone blueliner. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | End of a long shift in the defensive zone, Kulich gets the puck near his bench and tries to play the puck across the redline by going through his legs backward. Turnover leads to a quick counterattack from Gunther, | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Straightline speed looks above average, good form but not a ton of flash. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | I like his work rate. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Drops down to block a shot, then quickly back to his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Skating is good, especially small-space multidirectional movement, but top speed isn't thrilling. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | Does an excellent job in his own end to stick with MacTavish as he has the puck, turns him to the corner and then plasters him into the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Jiri Kulich | Note | I think his speed will improve to probably a 1.0 to 1.5 level. Good to very good. | Brian Fogarty | Czechia vs Canada (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 5/12/2022 | 10261 |
Elias Pettersson (D) | Note | Gets twisted up trying to change directions while in the middle of backwards crossovers. Looked clunky. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Elias Pettersson (D) | Note | Gap closing speed is very good. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Fabian Wagner | Note | Settles just inside the neutral zone to cut off a breakout attempt, intercepts the outlet pass. Well done. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Fabian Wagner | Note | Primary penalty kill center for this Swedish squad. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Long, not super fast, but fluid. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Carries the puck with speed into the offensive zone, draws two players, cuts back and passes to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Dangerous and elusive with the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Uses little steps and crossovers, then relies on his edges to gain mobility | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Looks so comfortable on his skates, but rarely pushes hard into a full stride. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Gets a puck high slot with his back to the net after a turnover, curls to his right and exits the turn at the top of the left circle with the puck already loaded for a wrist shot. Fires it on net, handcuffs the goalie, but the save is made. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Hands and feet work so well together. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Finally going hard (backchecking) and his form looks excellent. Smooth, no shoulder swing, nice extensions. Judged his speed requirement well. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | One-times a snap shot on a loose puck. He does not need encouragement to shoot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Takes the puck off the wall and drives laterally across the front of the net, working through traffic, gets a shot away from the far-side hashmarks. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Wrist shot is his weapon of choice, and it is a rocket. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Hangs out around the top of the left circle on the powerplay, waiting to pounce. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Not working a lot off the puck, but he's finding the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Summary | Lekkerimaki is a shoot-first forward who looks like he wants nothing more in life than to put the puck in the net. His wrist shot is dangerous, with a fast release and a lot of heat behind it. Several times his shot bothered the goaltender (who played an excellent game). I don't recall a single shot of Lekkerimaki's that did not result in an awkward rebound as Elias fought them off. He has good vision, but he is not a playmaking forward at this point. Skating is interesting. He has excellent dimensional movement due to his edgework, but he doesn't show exceptional speed or acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Up the right side with the puck, hard stop, head up, fires a long diagonal pass to the left side of the blue line for a solid one-timer chance. Good find. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Flips a long wrister from just inside the blue line near the center point, trying to give his man at the side of the crease a deflection opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Blocks a shot, collects the puck from his feet, tries to move it out of his zone, but Ostlund takes the puck away. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Not a dynamic skater, but he gets around the ice well. He's just a big, strong forward with soft hands and an imposing pro power forward style. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Right point on the powerplay, just fired a bombing one-timer. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Uses his body well for position superiority. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Not putting a lot of effort into defense. He's there, and he's active, but I'd like to see him really working instead of monitoring. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Draws a penalty in the corner just because Havelid had to grab him to try to keep him from muscling his way out with the puck and into a dangerous scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Summary | In a game where the Slovakian jerseys (red numbers on blue field) made it incredibly difficult to identify players, Slafkovsky was a clear stand out. His size, his style, his dominance on the puck all made it fairly obvious who he was on the ice. This game was nine months old, and Slafkovsky has grown into his game even more in the meantime, but he's a clear power forward NHL talent. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Strong push with his left skate moves him laterally to his right for position off the draw. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Slapshot has a big, sweeping follow through, but that one wasn't particularly dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Very good skater. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Bad pass out of his corner, put it into the feet of the forward and it skitters to a Slovak player in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Mattias Havelid | Note | Wrist shot center point top left corner. Caught the goaltender leaning the wrong way trying to see through traffic. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Ondrej Molnar | Note | Pulls the Swedish breakout pass down with his stick to intercept, back pass to a charging Dvorsky. Great play by Molnar. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Nemec with a beauty long wrist shot through a screen to put his team up in the 3rd. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/4/2021 | 5/4/2022 | 10260 |
Braeden MacPhee | Note | Lovely shot off a quick feed, one touch bar down over the shoulder. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
James Swan | Note | Small, skates with feet wide apart, but looks like he gets good extensions. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
James Swan | Note | Second chance for a wrist shot from the hash marks, both sent far side wide by a good bit. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
James Swan | Note | Works hard to create an odd-man rush, follows Orr deep, gets a return pass, puts it over the net. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
James Swan | Summary | Swan is a scrappy little player who plays hard but he needs to work on his skating and shot. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Tries a sharp cross-crease pass, doesn't get through, then he gets the loose puck and snaps a shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Right side on the powerplay, holds and walks in toward the net until he can draw the defender to him, then passes around him to the low post. Created that chance with patience. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | His first couple of steps lack strong push, and have more of a high kick to finish. But after those steps he gets into good stride posture and looks better. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Lifts a stick to allow the pass to go through, then collects it on the other side. Smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Goes to the crease for the deflection attempt, saved low. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Giving out instructions on the offensive zone faceoff setup. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Excellent sequence. Gets back to his defensive zone, positions perfectly to create a turnover by stepping into the only lane where a pass could be possible, then shows off the sick hands in tight to pull the puck in, around the opponent, then a quick flick pass to start the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Has the puck in deep, sees his team changing, so he turns to the corner boards, absorbs the pin and holds the puck until his team finishes it's line change. Another smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Beavertails a lot, calling for the puck, but almost always he is the best option at that time. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Finishes the tic-tac-toe play with a beauty one-touch off the feed from Desnoyers. Was open hips for the pass, and soft hands to collect and shoot. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | On the ice for a defensive zone draw late, protecting a one-goal lead. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Patient pass out of his end, springs a breakaway for an empty net goal. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Kian Bell | Note | Pushes up instead of forward with his first steps. Needs to deepen those knee bends. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 4/14/2022 | 4/14/2022 | 10259 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Mechanics look sound, shows nice speed getting back for a loose puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Puckhandling is calm, and he has a nice, smooth release on his passes. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Small space, four-way movement is very good to excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Tall, sturdy frame. He's going to be beastly when he gets stronger. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Plants the German puck carrier just inside the neutral zone. Solid, punishing open-ice hit. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Joins the rush, takes a pass from Ostlund, then fires a hard snap shot low that hits the post. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Note | Shoots the puck with confidence and authority and his wrist shot is difficult to handle. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Calle Odelius | Summary | Solid player from the back end, who can join the rush and make plays. Needs to polish his game, but the core materials are there for an NHL defender, likely middle pair with upside. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Elias Salomonsson | Note | Nice hip check. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Elias Salomonsson | Note | Goes belly down to try to do, what? There was no possible way for that move to do any good whatsoever. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Elias Salomonsson | Note | On the power play, takes the puck from behind his own net, and with all five back, he leads the breakout carrying the puck into the neutral zone. Then, he passes back straight to Roman Kechter, who skates in and buries the clean shorthanded breakaway goal. Not a smart play from Salomonsson. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Elias Salomonsson | Note | Another ill-advised play that leads to a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Tall, rangy player, but good mobility. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Holds the defender off on the turn with his length, but the turn was slow and he had more duress than necessary because of it. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Looks coltish and awkward at times. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Filip Bystedt | Note | Carries through the neutral zone, then tries to go in alone though the slot instead of looking to his wings for help, and he gets closed off and turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | He is constantly involved in the play at the offensive end. Not focusing on him, but he keeps making plays. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Jonathan Lekkerimaki | Note | Drives the net, pulls across, shoots far side, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Sneaky wrist shot beats the German tender five hole from the right circle. The netminder probably should have had that one, but it was a good shot nonetheless. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Skates the puck up the left wing boards, tries to pull up, loses the puck. Later in the same shift, skates the puck up the left wing again, then passes off to a German defender. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Recipient of an excellent pass out of the corner, and he's all alone at the crease for an easy tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Out on the penalty kill protecting a one-goal lead late in the third. Just made a diving play to clear the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Liam Ohgren | Note | Puck in his skates, pirouettes to find it, keeping momentum, and regains control on the move. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | His lateral movement is amazing. Super quick to his right, while facing up to the puck. Puts this movement to excellent use on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | Good hit into the halfboards. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | Gets past Pahlsson at the blue line, goes to the slot, and when Hordler gets him the puck, he goes forehand-backhand, goal. Nice deke and shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | Finds some open space at the right dot, gets the pass out of the corner, steps toward the slot then wrists one bar down. Beauty over the goalie's left shoulder. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Note | His hips are so fluid, he creates excellent backwards and lateral pivots and quickness. His straightforward acceleration could use some work, though. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Matthias Pischoff | Summary | The first thing that stood out to me was that remarkable lateral movement and constant activity off the puck. He can be a good penalty killer at any level with that movement and his active stick and willingness to block shots. Offensively, he had two nice goals, showing off a good, quick release. He'll need to get into the middle more, but if he does, he could be a sleeper. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Good, sharp turns, acceleration above average, nice lateral work. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Solid slapper one time from the right dot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Running the powerplay from the right circle, moving the puck quickly, sends an excellent pass to the far circle for a one-timer goal by Lekkerimaki. Beauty. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Gets good power on his wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Looks off the defender then passes the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Possession game is quality, able to handle through traffic, uses his feet to get separation, and wins races to loose pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Excellent read to intercept at the blue line, drives up, finds Joel Jonsson with a clever and deft pass to create a chance. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Note | Great burst to the slot from the right circle. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Noah Ostlund | Summary | Drove play throughout the game, making good passes with deception and vision, winning puck races, disrupting breakouts and attacks. Showed a good shot and high level of competitiveness. I liked him a lot in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Wearing the "C" for the German squad. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | With the puck in his own corner, easily evades the forechecker by spinning away and then moving the puck up to the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Drops a heavy hit in the offensive zone. Ooof. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | Collects the awful Salomonsson back pass, clean breakaway, pops the bottle shorthanded. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Note | You can tell by his composure, especially with the puck, why he is the Captain. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Roman Kechter | Summary | Kechter is calm, poised and in control when he is on the ice. Smarter than he is skilled, probably, but he plays an honest game with no glaring weakness, but no standout electrifying skill, either. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021) | 8/2/2021 | 3/10/2022 | 10258 |
Carter Mazur | Note | Mazur can fly. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Carter Mazur | Note | He is everywhere, crashing and banging, using his speed to close gaps to the puck carriers. Fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Carter Mazur | Note | Thumping hit, but a half-tick too late for IIHF play, and he's called for interference. Nice physical play, though. Legal in the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Carter Mazur | Note | Powerplay sequence he just showeda hard wrist shot, a driving slapper, and good net front presence. Not a highly accurate shot, but hard, hard, hard. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Carter Mazur | Summary | Speeding, physical best with some skill. Probably not a scoring forward at the NHL level, but certainly has the style of play to get him there in a bottom six capacity. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Dominic James | Note | Changes gears, drives the net, lots of power in his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Easy mobility, some excellent speed up the right side. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Second powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Chokes way up on his stick to get a clean one-timer away on a pass that was a bit too far forward. Great adjustment and then better weight transfer. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Knows how to slide through lanes to get to the space he wants. Alters his speed as needed, using his feet to benefit the play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Note | Big effort on the backcheck. Really battling out there trying to claw the team back into the game. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Filip Mesar | Summary | Fast, agile, competitive at both ends, and makes good decisions with and without the puck. He's a top-quality player. Would like to see him convert chances a little more, but he looks like a player who will continue to work hard in improve | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Second powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | So much height and strength, and to move that well, it’s a dangerous combination. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Soft hands in traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Accelerates better than you'd expect for someone that big, and it’s disarming for defenders. It's like a mountain leaps at you. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | So manueverable, slides into the slot, backhands a good shot of the short-side post against the grain. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Big wrist shot from the high slot off the draw. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Extremely difficult to move off the puck. His feet allow him to reposition himself between the puck and the defender, his hands keep the puck out of reach, and his size absorbs physical pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Sweet no-look pass to Mesar to set up a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Summary | There is a reason that Slafkovsky is a top prospect in the draft. He's big, agile, balanced, coordinates his feet and hands into effective play generation, and he has a big shot that he uses well. Future NHLer, no question. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Looks stable going backwards, but uses his crossovers more than I'd like. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Facing the boards behind his goal, tries a quick backhand pass to the slot, but was too clever by a lot. Why? Sequence that ensues ends with his goaltender fishing the puck out of his net. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Maxim Strbak | Note | Gets caught up ice, and can't keep up with Berard going the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |

Simon Nemec | Note | Pure skater, excellent mechanics straight line, brilliant edges, effortless. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |

Simon Nemec | Note | Takes a hard slapshot right into his midsection and crumples to the ice. Took a couple of shifts, but he's back on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Note | Well done to use the back boards for a bounce pass to get around the forechecker. Nice play. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Simon Nemec | Summary | The best defender in his draft class, by far. Smart with the puck and without it, keeps his positioning in his own end against even the highly skilled and super fast US forwards, and creates advantages with ease. Moves the puck intelligently, gets up ice into to the rush, even getting in on the forecheck if he's up ice. Great player, future NHL top pair defender. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |
Tanner Dickinson | Note | Turns are wide, and he just got burned by a quicker, tighter turn radius of Nemec, who turned inside and gained a step. | Brian Fogarty | Slovakia vs US (WJC 2022) | 12/26/2021 | 3/3/2022 | 10257 |

Connor Bedard | Note | Bedard's release is just sick. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Short, stocky, looks balanced on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |

David Adaszynski | Note | Gets the puck behind his own net, but rushes the clearance attempt and sends it straight to the Regina defender at the point. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Exiting his zone, the pass comes a bit behind him, and he turns back to receive it. I cringed, but he escaped harm. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Keeps his stick on the ice, but with the puck, his arms look stiff. Hands not very active on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Chases down a puck, collects in the offensive zone right circle, pulls up, passes to the trailer, but way too hard and the puck clangs off the attackers stick. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Note | Solid hit on the boards on the forecheck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
David Adaszynski | Summary | Plays a tough game with good skating and energy. Did not generate a lot of offense in this game, and held his stick tight in his hands. He made some good passes, but in general put too much on them and was too deliberate in finding them. Will need to soften up his offensive game a good bit over the next year. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Tries a little saucer/chip pass to Bedard, but leads him just a bit too close to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |

Matteo Michels | Note | Snap shot low through feet from the high slot. Caused problems because the shot went through a lot of trees to get on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Matteo Michels | Summary | His game was most evident in the defensive end, playing hard down low. In the offensive end, he had a couple of good moments and fought hard in puck battles. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Note | Full power strides chasing an icing. Maybe a bit too much in his shoulders, but got good speed and power through his legs. Good lower-body mechanics. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Note | Big, good skater, looks like he wants to push offense. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |

Maxim Muranov | Note | Went hard on a long run to the net, then he was struggling to get back, trying hard but not getting much from his legs. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Note | Tried a few times to power around Svozil, but hasn't been able to turn the corner on him. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Maxim Muranov | Summary | Power forward type, goes strong with the puck to the net, constantly driving the puck up ice. Has a strong wrist shot, but did not seem overly adept at creating the space he needs to get good looks on net. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Oliver Tulk | Note | Good positioning backing out of the forecheck, intercepts. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Oliver Tulk | Note | Drops his stick, pivots to pick it up, takes a hit, absorbs the force and uses it to get upright and repositioned, then he's back into the play. That was a great show of balance. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |

Raiden Zacharias | Note | Acceleration is good, speed is good, but not great yet. Looks like it will improve, though. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Raiden Zacharias | Note | Looks so small out there, especially since he ducks down a bit as he plays. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Raiden Zacharias | Note | A little uncertain in the defensive zone, but considering this is his third WHL game, it's not too surprising or troubling. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Ryker Evans | Note | Evans is incredibly smooth, both on his feet and with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |

Sean Tschigerl | Note | Works hard going to the offensive zone. Much harder than going back to the defensive zone, for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Just absent in the defensive zone. He's wandering, drifts out beyond the blue line looking for a release pass, meanwhile his team is outnumbered down low. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Sean Tschigerl | Summary | There are some great aspects to his game, in particular his offensive play off the left side. Good shot, high level of scoring drive, good work with his linemates. However, at the other end, his work rate and interest level dropped considerably. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Spencer Tye | Note | So small, he looks like a fourteen-year-old out there. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |

Tanner Howe | Note | Digging in and battling on the boards, fends off Fiddler-Schultz and wins the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Intercepts, dangles, but his stick gets lifted right at the beginning of his shooting action. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Glued to Bedard's left wing, even strength, powerplay, penalty killing. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Good penalty killing shot block, out at the top, tracking, goes down to block the shot attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Honest game in his own end, attentive, active, not hurried when he gets a puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Excellent pass cross ice out to the far point. Got it through traffic, right on the tape, easy to catch. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Note | Another good pass, this one a little two-foot backhand to catch Svozil at full speed up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Tanner Howe | Summary | Interesting player with top offensive instincts and very good hands. He showed nice agility and quickness on his feet, able to change speeds to take advantage of spaces. I was impressed with his defensive-zone play and willingness to block shots, and his patience when he got the puck. This was the third of three straight games for Regina, so I want to watch him more to see him when he is bit fresher. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/27/2022 | 3/1/2022 | 10256 |
Brad Gardiner | Note | Two sequences early in the game, and he's gone down to the ice on both. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |

Patrick Thomas | Note | Looks like he has good speed, keeping pace on the backcheck without a ton expended energy. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Patrick Thomas | Note | Killing penalties, much more stationary than I'd like to see. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Patrick Thomas | Note | Lots of churn in his acceleration, getting so little forward movement from so many steps. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |
Patrick Thomas | Note | Plays almost entirely upright, okay laterally manueverability with his little cross-over steps, but nothing straight-ahead unless he has a long run. | Brian Fogarty | Hamilton vs Ottawa (OHL) | 1/26/2022 | 2/23/2022 | 10255 |

Calum Ritchie | Note | Long wrist shot saved, but more of an attempt to get the puck into play at the net than a true scoring attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Wouldn't mind seeing him go a little harder on the backcheck, but he's not lazing back, either. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Jordyn Ertel | Note | Solid balance and very good acceleration, particularly out of a turn. Gives him nice closure on loose pucks, and allows him to generate power into a check. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Luca Marrelli | Note | Turns his hips on the glide to open up for a shot attempt if the puck comes. When it does, he holds to get past a long-reaching stick, and puts a wrist shot short side, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Luca Marrelli | Summary | My first close viewing of Marrelli, and I was impressed. Composed, very fluid movement, offensive minded but defensively responsible. How good can this kid become? Very good, I think. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Matthew Buckley | Note | A bit above average speed. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Matthew Soto | Note | A little hunched over as he skates, but he's got good mobility. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Matthew Soto | Note | Feet stay out wide when he tries to power up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Matthew Soto | Note | Can't keep his edge on a hard forechecking turn, and he goes sprawling. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Matthew Soto | Note | Footrace with Buckley, a little better, but Buckley had the puck. Neither are burners. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Nice hand-eye to bat a puck down mid-stride and then control it while moving into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Battling and shoving at his own crease. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Killing penalties, centering the second unit, out at the top of the diamond. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Second-unit powerplay, playing left point and halfboards. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Shows nice quickness and intensity to attack the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Speedy player. So much to like in his game. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Relentless, gets a steal, turns and shoots low far side, but a good kick save keeps the puck out of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Moves the puck well, but he needs to work on his shot selection, I think. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Note | Solid shoulder check. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Paul Ludwinski | Summary | Maybe one of the most entertaining players on the ice. He is constantly on the move, all hustle and quickness, and shows a lot of excellent hockey sense. The key lacking part of his game right now is a dangerous shot, but he has the tools to get there. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Jetting up the left wing, his stride and mechanics are so good. Strong, low, powerful. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Gets a puck while under pressure, but easily pulls it around and passes off to the wide open teammate. Processes the play so fast. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Killing penalties. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Not a hugely physical player, but he'll bump and lean on players. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Glides out of the corner with the puck, drawing the defender with him out to the halfboards, then a sharp stop and backhand pass to the dot. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Rips a wrist shot just wide. He gets so much heat on his wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Looks like a player trying to play across all two hundred feet of the ice instead of flashing to the net all of the time. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Drives the right dot, then puts a shot pass to the slot that generated an excellent and dangerous chance for his teammate in front. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Simply crushing on faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Ridiculous! Backwards, between-his-legs, no-look, below-the-net bank shot goal. That was insane. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | It's rare to see him run out of options with the puck. He always seems able to find an open lane, create a space to make a pass. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | When he is below the goal line, supporting the puck, he seems to have any alternative outcome mapped and loaded. He can move the puck almost immediately when it comes to him. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | One of my favorite aspects of Wright's game is his constant support of the play. Always there, always supporting the puck at both ends of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Shane Wright | Note | Multiple changes of speed when necessary. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |

Shane Wright | Summary | What more is there to say about Shane Wright? If he does not go first overall in the 2022 draft, there will be some incredibly unhappy fans in the near future calling for their GMs head. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/24/2022 | 1/27/2022 | 10254 |
Alex Assadourian | Note | Small, with good skating ability and a lot of energy. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Alex Assadourian | Note | Highly active player, but he coasted there while an opponent in the slot needed coverage. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Moving up ice expecting the puck to be carried out of the zone, but he wasn't really supporting the play at all. Forechecker stops the progress of the puckcarrier, and Harrison just kept skating despite being maybe ten feet from the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Misses on a four-foot pass and puts the puck into his teammate's skates. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Gets a pass at the right hashmarks and snaps a wrist shot far side and in. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Easy strides give him very good speed. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Digs in on his edges to shift a bit to his right and get into a better space in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Does well to tie up Degrazia's stick in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Gets a partial two-on-one, takes a hard wrist shot on the fly, but the goaltender was able to fight it off. Hard shot that was difficult to handle. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Good acceleration | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Patient with the puck when he needs to be in order to draw defenders to him. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Excellent balance and agility. Smooth on his feet and can absorb contact and retain balance. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Chokes way up on his stick so he can take in the pass coming directly to him and immediately move the puck out to his left. Deft hands, smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Note | Playing the bumper on the top powerplay unit, but the Generals are keeping the puck on the perimeter for the most part. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Calum Ritchie | Summary | Has all of the tools and the work rate to be a top-six NHL forward at the least. His skating and balance may not be elite level, but it is certainly very good and likely to get better. He showed great hockey intelligence, a willingness to get to the dirty areas of the ice, and a high scoring drive. He is a top prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
David Goyette | Note | Carries in, pulls up, passes down the blue line, intercepted. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
David Goyette | Note | On the powerplay rush with Stillman, carries, pulls up at the blue line, waits, then passes to an opponent. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
David Goyette | Note | Left side of a two-on-one, takes the saucer pass from Stillman and goes short-side wrist shot, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Excellent diagonal pass to the far side to find the driving player, who then wasn't able to convert. Too bad. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Nice lead pass to give a clean offensive zone entry. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Evan Konyen | Note | He wants the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Kocha Delic | Note | Uses lots of little crossover steps and chopping half-strides as he moves up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Kocha Delic | Note | Good neutral zone work to steal a puck and get into the offensive zone. Maybe his best off-the-puck play in the game. The rest of the time he has been wandering a bit and inefficient. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Matthew Buckley | Note | Pass out to his own blue line too soft and was easily picked off. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Matthew Buckley | Note | Second-unit powerplay minutes. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Ty Tullio | Note | His first step is almost as good as his excellent vision and hockey sense. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Second time he's taken a hard hit in order to set up offense, and this one earns him a bruised assist. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Hits a rut and goes to his knees, maintains puck control, and shovels a backhanded pass to his teammate at the point. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Steps into a slap shot from the high slot and crushes the post. | Brian Fogarty | Oshawa vs Sudbury (OHL) | 1/9/2022 | 1/18/2022 | 10253 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Big. Absorbs hits well. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Follows Chibrikov in, and when the rebound gets kicked out to the left dot, Yurov is there and one-times it near post and in. Hit the defender's skate, but well-timed and aggressive offensive play. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Extended time when he was matched up against Henry for Switzerland. Yurov was bigger, faster, stronger. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Makes good choices in the offensive zone, safe, short passes to maintain possession and apply continuous pressure on the defenders. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Willing to play right at the crease, cruising the low slot area, digging in and battling at the front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Danila Yurov | Note | Accelerates to a loose puck, then backhands across the top of the crease. Should have resulted in a goal. Excellent play from Yurov. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Joel Henry | Note | Good speed (1.0 to 1.5) with some agility and quickness on display. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Joel Henry | Note | Nice read to step up and intercept a lazy pass along the offensive-zone blue line. Can't make much of it, though, as the puck rolls off his stick in the high slot. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Joel Henry | Note | Hard wrist shot from the left circle goes off the crossbar. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Excellent size. Looks so big on the ice and uses every bit of his frame to lean on and overpower opponents. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Turns back under forecheck pressure, cuts and turns, can't match the speed of the forechecker so he uses his body to protect the puck until help arrives. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Lacks straightline speed, but his first couple of steps are very good for the big man and he's agile on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | After the whistle, give Michkov a chop to the back of the knee that the refs missed. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Solid hit puts the Russian forward into the bench. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Whiffs on a one-timer attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Lian Bichsel | Note | Good example of how he uses his size: with the puck going into the defensive zone corner and his teammate about to the be the first player to it, Bichsel looks back over his shoulder, sees the forechecker closing, then alters his line and pace to set up a moving screen and allow his teammate more time to gather the puck and ready a breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Keeps his feet firm and stable beneath his shoulders on the glide. Balanced and loaded. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Lowers his shoulder, power turn to the net, loses the handle. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Nifty little kick fake to freeze the defender, cuts around, puts a wrist shot on net. Had good speed with the puck through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Chibrikov wants to attack. Not helping a lot to get the puck out of his zone, but he's ready to launch if it does. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Liking his quickness. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Hard wrist shot from a sharp angle. Saved, but it was a good choice and created possibilities. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Killing penalties, using his acceleration to close gaps out to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Nice hands to collect a bouncing puck and get it quickly on net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022) | 11/27/2021 | 11/29/2021 | 10252 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Tall, nimble, quick. Hyperactive feet. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Carrying the puck, shields and takes a bump from a forechecker, and then turns the contact into a spin pass up ice to keep the puck moving. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Stationary on defense there. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Carrying out of his end, sees his lane cut off, so he curls back and resets to his defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Chooses not to take a clean shot in favor of a tap pass to the slot where his teammate was well covered. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Another defensive zone shift where he essentially maintains a spot near the right side hash marks and watches the play around him. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Note | Linear player. Not a lot of deception in his game. Looks like he'll try to beat you with his length and his determination, but not a lot else. Good hands, good maneuverability though. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Egor Goriunov | Summary | An interesting player, mostly because of his length and agility. Showed good hands at times, and protected the puck well, but there simply wasn’t much creativity to his game. Got knocked off the puck a few times, but showed good balance. His play in the defensive zone was clearly lacking and disappointing. I kept wanting to see him try to drive play, but he never did in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Ethan Gauthier | Note | Down low near the top of the crease, slams home a nice feed from the low right circle. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Ethan Gauthier | Note | Constantly in the danger area, not afraid to mix it up at the net or on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Ethan Gauthier | Note | Tries to guide a wrist shot top corner, but misses high. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Ethan Gauthier | Summary | Always around the slot, goes hard to the net and is willing to camp out there. Good hands down low, and could make a living by banging home rebounds and backdoor passes. Would like to see more of his shooting from range before making a determination on his shooting ability. Good skater, nothing exceptional, but again, plays down low so much that his skating isn’t really an issue either way. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Strong on his edges, gives him power in turns and good balance on faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Pushes hard laterally to accelerate away from the net and into some open space at the hash marks. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Doesn't need a lot of effort to keep pace with the transition. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Drives the right side, wrist shot top left, but the goalie gets just enough of it. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Note | Good feeder pass to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Hugo Primeau | Summary | Doesn’t play like a 5’8 Center. Strong on his skates, digs in on his edges to drive strength and balance. Good skater but doesn’t stand out as a speedster. Showed some offensive creative on a couple of plays, but generally did not accomplish much in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Keeps trying to chop the puck away while in his own zone, but he's a half-second too late each time, and the puck is moved before he can engage. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Killing penalties, playing on the powerplay, getting all-situation minutes. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Nice backhand, backwards pass cross crease. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Goes back hard on the back check, but he didn’t have enough left to prevent the three-on-two attack against. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Note | Like his stride and speed. Very good o the move. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joey Vetrano | Summary | All-around type of player who has decent skating ability, a touch of offensive creativity, and is always around the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Forces a wrist shot at the defender's feet, trying to get the puck through, but no doing. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Center point, managing the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Hard one-time snap shot, kept it low, but saved. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Moves the puck well, but sometimes he just passes into an opponent's stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Definitely glides a lot more than he skates. Has good speed, though. Just moves with a near nonchalance that looks both capable and disinterested, but he's active. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Turns away from a slash and gains position, walks into space at the high slot, wrist shot saved. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Good pass through traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Wrist shot looks just like his passes. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Shows slap shot from the center point, but I don't think anyone believed it was coming. It wasn't, and Roy passes off to his left. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | The half slap one timer from the right dot looks like his most dangerous shot | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Two on one, he was off the puck and did well to measure his pace and keep himself in a good spot relationally to the puck carrier. Give and go, his pass popped up and his teammate batted it into the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Note | Virtually no physicality in his game. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Joshua Roy | Summary | The high points of his game are his patient vision and passing ability. He'll hold the puck until the good option appears, then move the puck accordingly. Unfortunately, if the option doesn't appear, he tends to force a play and often turned the puck over because of it. Did not show much of a shot other than the one-time snap shot which is a weapon. Lackluster in his own end. He will need to amp up his physical play and be willing to get his jersey dirty as he moves up levels. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Justin Larose | Note | Centering the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Justin Larose | Note | Crashes the net, puts a rebound off the post. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Justin Larose | Note | Tries to chop a puck away from Joshua Roy, and in doing so gives up position. Roy turns him and goes to the slot for a clean look on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Justin Larose | Summary | Played a hard game, constantly engaged, and looked mostly like a player who has been in the league for a while rather than a 16yo rookie. Took on bigger players in the defensive zone and held his own. Interesting player to keep an eye on for development, especially in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Raphael Blouin | Note | Keeps his stick down and active on defense. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Raphael Blouin | Note | Nice drop step to gain inside position at the opposing crease. Again, has his stick down and ready. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Penalty killing, hops to a loose puck and clears. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Quick stick, clears the puck again. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Note | Blocks a slap shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |

Zachary Lessard | Note | Good crisp pass to the far blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Zachary Lessard | Summary | I liked him as a young defenseman who is obviously still adjusting to the pace in the Q. Plays a quick game, with a good jump in acceleration and lateral movement which allows him to be the first player to the loose pucks, and then his quick hands get the puck up and out of his zone in a hurry. Quality passing on the breakout. Positionally good, got pushed around a bit but fought to regain inside position and used his feet to recover when necessary. Had he been born a week or so later he would be a 2023 draft eligible. | Brian Fogarty | Sherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL) | 11/21/2021 | 12/14/2021 | 10251 |
Calem Mangone | Note | He lives in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |

Calem Mangone | Note | Excellent look and the spinning backhand to find the only player on the ice with a clean look at net. Brilliant assist, that. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Outworks and gets under the defender in the board battle, comes away with the puck, and looks like he has only scoring on his mind. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Strong wrist shot from the left point (yeah, he's all over the place now) almost beats the goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Intercepts just inside his own blue line, generates a clean zone entry the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Calem Mangone | Note | Puckhandling, then flips a little backhand sauce. Smooth and deceptive passer with excellent vision. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Curls to the slot without the puck, pass comes in, one-touch flick into the net for his first OHL goal. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Tall, good frame. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Big strides, quality on his pivots. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Put a little too much on that lead pass, and the puck goes down toward the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ethan Martin | Note | Opens his hips to receive the pass, then swivels back to attack skating. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Centering, and playing decent positionally in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Penalty kill time, too. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Drives left to right below the goal line, steps out at the crease, hits the crossbar. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Sneaky wrist shot low. Goalie's pad stops it, but that jumped off of Sapovaliv's stick. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Super cutback with the puck. Left a spray of snow and the defender behind. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Matyas Sapovaliv | Note | Played a crap-ton of all-situations hockey in this game. Played 25+ minutes, for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Nicholas De Angelis | Note | Loose puck in the slot in the defensive zone, tries to pull it in and go up ice, but a Saginaw player pokes it first, and De Angelis is horribly out of position. No damage, but that could have been costly. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Nicholas De Angelis | Note | Takes a great angle through his zone to cut off the attacking lane of the far side winger. Well played. Did that without sacrificing his weakside coverage. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Tall, long legs, but good on his edges, tight turn radius with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Hits the ice on a line change, leads the rush up the middle. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |

Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Mechanics look top notch. Very good speed that will continue to improve. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Good penalty-killing stick lift to secure the puck and clear down the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Strands his man up in the neutral zone. Maybe a touch late, and a touch high, but that was hard. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Positioned well in his zone, intercepts, passes off, joins the rush. Takes a pass at the offensive blue line, splits two Windsor players with speed, slides the puck around the defender and picks it up again right at the top of the crease. Forehand, backhand, net. Beauty of a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Pavel Mintyukov | Note | Ends the game by blocking a shot to kill the 6-on-4 advantage in a one-goal game. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |

Ryan Abraham | Note | Weak on the puck, and the Saginaw forward takes it away from him and goes up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ryan Abraham | Note | Nice hard turn on his edges. Better on his edges that straight ahead. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Ryan Abraham | Note | Tends toward short, choppy strides, but he's mobile and very active. He looked sluggish at the beginning of the game, but he's picked up his effort late in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |

Sebastian Gervais | Note | Searching for a place in the defensive zone, moving well but looking a bit confused. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Sebastian Gervais | Note | Wins the ozone draw back to Mintyukov then goes to the net, but no rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Wylie Birkett | Note | Slow through the neutral zone. Nice curls on his edges, though. | Brian Fogarty | Saginaw vs Windsor (OHL) | 11/26/2021 | 11/27/2021 | 10250 |
Anthony Wilson | Note | Shows good speed as he backchecks on the speedy Stankoven. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |

Brayden Schuurman | Note | Puck just out of reach as he tries to steal a pass, then he's off balance and out of position. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | Sweeping one-timer snap shot, on net, difficult for the goaltender because of the lengthy release point. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | Speed without the puck, slices through and takes a pass for a clean look, but the puck rolls off his stick. He exploded through the neutral zone to start that chance. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | He's long, but he's not using his reach to protect the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | He mostly skates at a leisurely pace, but then he shows the crazy acceleration and he's gone. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Brayden Schuurman | Note | Loose puck, gets it, instant shot just wide. He converts pucks into shots extremely fast. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Caedan Bankier | Note | Long-legged strides. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |

Caedan Bankier | Note | Does a good job to cover the left point as the defender pinches in, but then gets forced to play defense as the puck gets cleared, and he did not look comfortable in that role, at all. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Caedan Bankier | Note | Goes hard to the net, drops his shoulder, draws the overtime tripping penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |

Fraser Minten | Note | Has the space to turn away and keep possession, but tries to go through the forechecker instead. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Fraser Minten | Note | Tries a far post backhand shot, when he'd have been better to pass left instead of that low-probability shot. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Josh Pillar | Note | Wrist shot, low glove, saved easily. Shot was from near the top of the circle. He's going to need to throw some fire on that if he wants to beat the nettie from there. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Josh Pillar | Note | Spinning pass out to the center point of the powerplay. Makes the pass, but it took a long time and the penalty killer gets out to pressure center point, takeaway. Sort of clumsily played by Pillar. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Josh Pillar | Note | Does well on the backcheck to take a good defensive position, take away the passing lane, and blocking the pass when the winger tries it anyway. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |
Josh Pillar | Note | Carries to the blue line, self-pass off the boards, wheels behind the net, ends up surrounded by three penalty killers and he's forced to dish back out to center ice. | Brian Fogarty | Kamloops vs Victoria (WHL) | 11/6/2021 | 11/26/2021 | 10249 |

Ben Bujold | Note | Rips a cross-ice pass, but it was too hard for the right wing to handle, and it bounced off his blade and into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Charlie Paquette | Note | Shoulder shove against the puck carrier, just finishing a bit as the pass was made. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Charlie Paquette | Note | In his own end, turns to go after a puck, and he took three steps before he was going anywhere. The opposing defender at the point easily wins the race to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Charlie Paquette | Note | Following the play a lot more than driving it, at both ends of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Danny Zhilken | Note | Skating looks suspect. Lots of shoulder swing side to side, below average speed, at least on that opening shift. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Danny Zhilken | Note | His turns and stops are good, just that his straightline skating needs help. Achievable though, I think. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Easton Cowan | Note | Bouncing puck, he taps it down, makes a quick pass. The kid has good hands, no doubt. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Easton Cowan | Note | Relentless forecheck, tracking two Guelph players back and forth on the end boards. Showing great ability to stop and start. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Jake Karabela | Note | Changes direction so well with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Jake Karabela | Note | Hyper attentive, which combined with his feet, means that he covers little changes in play quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Landon Sim | Note | Battling low behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Matthew Poitras | Note | Chops at Max McCue's stick and lets him slide past, leaving him all alone in front of the net. McCue gets a pass and scores with Poitras a good meter behind him. That was shoddy defensive play. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Matthew Poitras | Note | Tries a long pass back towards center point, but intercepted. Up a goal, eight minutes left, I'd rather see him playing that towards the corner than out towards the point, into traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Ruslan Gazizov | Note | Gathers a loose puck, sets up behind the net, waits, waits, turns, turns, finds Colton Smith at the post, goal. Watching back, Gazizov spotted Smith before he made that last turn, and in fact used that move to set up the pass. Excellent awareness. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |
Ruslan Gazizov | Note | Hard hit plants Pastujov at the red line. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Ruslan Gazizov | Note | Chips the puck high into the zone, then he's the first one to it. | Brian Fogarty | Guelph vs London (OHL) | 11/9/2021 | 11/21/2021 | 10248 |

Aidan Castle | Note | Passes from the circle out to Fimis in the high slot. Not perfect, but it was a good look. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |

Anthony Tabak | Note | Looks like a player poised to have the kind of monster overager OHL breakout season that gets him signed by a NHL team. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Anthony Tabak | Note | Uses his size to take up space, but he's not physically imposing. He's not throwing his body around. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Beau Akey | Note | Pins his man to the boards, and there was no escaping. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Beau Akey | Note | Over-extends on an arm-check attempt, but his feet allow him to stick with Ethan Sims and restrict his chances, forces a difficult shot, wide. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Beau Akey | Note | Skates around forecheckers, protecting the puck, enters the neutral zone and then hands off to Porco. Akey then follows to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |

Isaac Enright | Note | Good edgework skater, likes to go heel-to-heel. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |

Jacob Frasca | Note | Doesn't have quite the footspeed as Haight, but above average, I'd say. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |
Jacob Frasca | Note | Nice pass, pulled the puck to his left and then passed it behind the back of the defender trying to stand him up. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Niagara (OHL) | 11/12/2021 | 11/18/2021 | 10247 |

Bryce McConnell-Barker | Summary | On a typically fast and skilled Greyhounds team, McConnell-Barker playing on the second line, was consistently involved in the play when he was on the ice. He has very good acceleration and pushes pace whenever possible, either on the forecheck or in off-the-puck transition through the neutral zone. He drew attention on every shift, and offensively showed good ice awareness and passing ability, A play-driving, 6'1 Center with speed and work rate is a commodity that NHL teams look for. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |

Justin Cloutier | Note | Hustles, but could improve on his line efficiency and positioning that would allow less effort and better results. Then he could focus that hustle more. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Kirill Kudryavtsev | Note | Looks like he's working really hard to achieve fairly normal acceleration, | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Kirill Kudryavtsev | Note | Goes to his knees to try to block off a lane from the North Bay forward attacking along the goal line. Not sure why he chose that method, but okay. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Kirill Kudryavtsev | Note | Good gap control against the oncoming foe, holds his position, then closes and pokes the puck away without sacrificing positioning. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |

Liam Arnsby | Note | Looks like he's having a hard time identifying his defensive responsibility on his shift. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Puckwatching in his own end, gets caught in no man's land and the guy he should have been covering takes a pass from behind the net and buries it. He was by the dot but Arnsby was still at the goal line. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |

Liam Arnsby | Note | Commentary announcer just said "Arnsby had been very quiet tonight," so maybe just a bad game for him? | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Spinning backhand pass to his left, not spectacular but good. Follows the shooters attempt to the crease and bangs home rebound. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Liam Arnsby | Note | Diligent in keeping his stick on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |

Liam Arnsby | Summary | Arnsby was hit and miss in the game. At times, he looked like a quality offensive center. At others, he looked like his heart just was not in the game. I'm going to give him a pass and revisit him in a month or so. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Owen Outwater | Note | Long, coltish legs. Looks like he just had those things attached and he hasn't quite incorporated them fully yet. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Skating looks excellent with dexterity and high-level ability to change direction. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Rifles a diagonal pass red line to blue line, through congestion, spot on the tape. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Drifted away into his own corner, expecting his defensive partner to send the puck over, but a Soo player took it away. Nelson should have been tighter to his net there, I think. Instead, the Soo player has full possession unmarked behind the North Bay net. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Big hit levels Savard at the red line. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Smaller defender. He'll need to really become a position-savvy player. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Good wrist shot from the halfboards, but hit a body in front. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Gets hung out to dry on a two-on-one against, and he just flops down on the ice too early to make a difference, and the Soo get an excellent scoring chance, Yuck, | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Uses his speed to get up into the rush. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Note | Drives the puck up the left boards, curls to the net just before the goal line, then shovels the puck at the goaltender's feet. The short rebound out front goes to Petrov, goal. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Ty Nelson | Summary | The Battalion's top offensive defenseman. He stands just 5'10, but weighs nearly 200 pounds and moves that weight around the ice with ease. He may be a work in progress, trying to build up better game intelligence in the defensive zone, but he plays with an edge, transitions the puck extremely well, and wants to get in on the attack. Sixteen games into the season, he is nearly a point-per-game player and has more than double the points than the second-highest-scoring defender on the roster. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 10/22/2021 | 11/11/2021 | 10246 |
Beau Akey | Note | Skates extremely well, fast in a couple of steps, slides up and back, four-way mobility is swift and smooth. Good command of his body. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Akey | Note | Another example of his poise and mobility: steps up to a loose puck, snags it and reverses, then turns away from the forechecker and makes a perfect bank pass off the end boards behind his goal, hitting his defensive partner perfectly. Calm, wise, efficient. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Akey | Note | Sets and shoots, hard wrist shot blocked. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Akey | Note | Akey is a gem. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Akey | Note | Carries through traffic. He's slippery, and enters the zone in possession. Nice play. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Akey | Note | Long wrist shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Akey | Summary | Did not start the game with Akey on my list of players to focus on, but by mid-game he was forcing me to watch him. He does everything well, and looks like a truly promising prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Jelsma | Note | Above average speed, but at the front of the net he was getting moved around fairly easily by the defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Jelsma | Note | Jumps on a loose puck, steps into the slot, whiffs on the shot attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Jelsma | Note | Poor balance and skate strength | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Jelsma | Note | Cuts left to the high slot, wrists it wide short side, but the shot was humming. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Beau Jelsma | Summary | He had moments when he looked great, and moments when he looked average. Good mobility, but lacks strength when it comes to battling against defenders for position. He got knocked off his feet several times in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Brandt Clarke | Note | Clarke is easily the best player on the ice in this game. So assured, a constant presence, always dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Chris Grisolia | Note | Maybe average speed, keeps both hands on his stick, swings his shoulders, getting no help from his arms at all. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Chris Grisolia | Note | Beaver tails, gets the puck, one-timer from the left hash marks, saved. The puck came to his front foot but he still got a lot on that shot. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Chris Grisolia | Note | Good angle on the backcheck, takes a line to cut off of the forward driving the middle lane. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Picks up speed with the puck, drives into traffic, then pulls up looking for better options. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Strong pushes generate acceleration, but his turns are wide and slower. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Anticipates the play, cuts through the slot and makes the interception. Good read. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Goes to the net, gets a pass, tic-tac-toe, goal. He moved that puck quickly to the scoring option. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Decisive with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Active stick pokes the puck off the attacker's blade just inside the defensive blue line. Then Goyette pushes hard through the neutral zone to create a three-on-one, slows at the top of the circle keeping the goaltender honest, then fires a deceptive pass far post, but Derbidge can't convert. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Note | Trailer on a three-man attack. Puck on his left, passed to him, and he flips a quick pass to Stillman on his right for a goal into a wide-open net. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
David Goyette | Summary | Goyette has excellent hockey sense and in a game in which his team looked lackluster, he kept making plays and eventually carried his team into at least some kind of contest. He showed the kind of awareness that allowed him to make fast reads and passes to set up teammates for easy scoring chances. He's a clever player with a bright future. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Good speed, nice form. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Want to see more hustle from him (and his entire team, for that matter). | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Drives the puck into the zone, splits two defenders with nice handling, then a setup backhand pass for the assist. Best Wolves play by far in the first twelve minutes of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Another nice pass, this one a half-spin backhand to move the puck around the defender to a more open linemate. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | At the crease, but had he taken a step to his left he would have been a screen. Instead, the goalie sees the shot the whole way, and makes a save directing the puck out to safety. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | In the defensive zone, he's getting out to the point to pressure pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Note | Takes a bad pass into his feet and kicks it onto his stick, then one-times it far post, low, but the goaltender got his toe on it. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Evan Konyen | Summary | If not for Konyen and Goyette, the Wolves would have fared much worse than even the lopsided score represents. Konyen played hard all game, making plays at both ends of the ice, trying to generate. He was creative with the puck and diligent without it. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Smooth crossovers to generate some diagonal movement, then a pivot to straight ahead that looked a little bit awkward, but not problematic. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Powerplay, left side, shows soft hands in corralling a puck coming off the end boards, then turning it out to the center point in one fluid movement. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Nice, sharp one-time pass through a lane to the far-side circle. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Backchecking, he calls out a coverage for his defender who doesn't listen, leaving Haight to cover two men in front. Haight tries to cover both, and gets a partial tip as he pokes at the puck, but not enough to prevent the goal. He tried hard, there, but his defenseman left him hanging. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Smooth on his skates, adjusts speed as needed, good turns and agility. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Decent hit on the forecheck. Nothing huge, just finishing it as he should have. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Hard pass into his feet, but he digs it out cleanly. Well done. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Stops on a dime. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Note | Attentive on defense, doing little things to make a difference: covering low, stick in lanes, backchecking efficiently. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Hunter Haight | Summary | A solid two-way player with scoring drive, some physical play when called for, very good skating, and keen awareness. He looks like a future captain, and is deserving of his first-round prospect status. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Nick DeGrazia | Note | Lazy turnover at his defensive halfboards. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Nick DeGrazia | Note | On the powerplay, trying to get out of his zone, has a covered man on his left and about 50 feet of open ice in front of him. Decides to pass left and the puck is easily intercepted. Why? | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Nick DeGrazia | Note | Weak shot on net. Down by three in the third period. Put something behind that, man. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Ryan Del Monte | Note | Dangles, dishes, gets the assist. Not the best defensive play in front of him, but that was a good pass well delivered. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Ryan Del Monte | Note | Wrist shot from the hash marks goes over the net | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Ryan Del Monte | Note | Good deflection down, goal. He was in position, facing the shooter, good hand-eye tip. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs Sudbury (OHL) | 10/28/2021 | 11/8/2021 | 10245 |
Brayden Yager | Note | Swift, smooth acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Brayden Yager | Note | Trailer on a three-on-one, gets the pass and he buries it top shelf. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Brayden Yager | Note | Another chance from the slot, this one saved, but barely. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Brayden Yager | Note | In on the left side of a two-on-one. Alarie sets him up, and Yager blasts a huge one-timer for his second goal of the game. Likes how he opened his hips to the chance and kept his pace laterally as the puck came to him. Great shot. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Carson Lambos | Note | So refined in his play. Smart, uses all of his tools as he needs them, equally capable at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Carson Lambos | Note | Perfect 80-foot pass to lead Geekie into the offensive zone at full stride. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Plasters his man into the boards, separates him from the puck, and Winnipeg takes control. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Loose puck at the goal mouth. Geekie tries to clear it away, but Baco was stronger on the puck and pushes it into the net. Geekie needed to bear down on that. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Hard wrist shot through traffic, but just wide short side. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Conor Geekie | Note | What Geekie lacks in speed he makes up for with strength and power. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Geekie hasn't had a lot of room in the game, but he's working hard, pushing play. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Nice snap shot from wide at the left circle, saved but dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Denton Mateychuk | Note | Tries crossovers steps going backwards, but Savoie takes advantage and beats him easily as Mateychuk tries to turn. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Denton Mateychuk | Note | Very good closing speed, can snap the gap to the puck closed in a flash. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Denton Mateychuk | Note | Pushes the puck up ice whenever he has the chance. He looks like he'd rather carry through the offensive zone than make the leadout pass. And for good reason. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Denton Mateychuk | Note | Partial two-one-one against, and he's the last man back. Stick check to the player on his left, the pivots and takes the man on the right, and breaks up the play. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Denton Mateychuk | Note | Looks like he's playing every other shift, plus getting full time on the special teams units. Will be interesting to monitor his energy level as the game progresses. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Denton Mateychuk | Note | Gets in front of shots, and has gone limping off a couple of times. But he keeps blocking them. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Denton Mateychuk | Note | He's top quality skating the puck through the neutral zone. Carries until he creates a better option, then has the awareness and passing to find it, then continues to power into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Denton Mateychuk | Note | Consistently makes threatening zone entries with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Denton Mateychuk | Note | Five minutes left, and his legs are starting to look a bit wobbly. He has probably played upwards of 30 minutes in this high-tempo game. Yet there he is, on the rush, ripping a one-timer on net. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Denton Mateychuk | Summary | Mateychuk is the prototype transition defender who can carry the puck with speed and maneuverability through the neutral zone. He can lead or join the rush, shows a high scoring drive, and more often than not, ends his shifts in the offensive zone. However, he is also sound positionally in his own end, and despite his push up ice, I don't recall seeing him not getting back into position when the puck went the other way. Speedy, balanced, agile. He's a quality defender. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Evan Friesen | Note | Loping back through the neutral zone as Moose Jaw attacks the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Evan Friesen | Note | Wrestling for territory in front of the opponent's net. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Evan Friesen | Note | Tries a riskier, long pass up the boards instead of the shorter, lower-risk pass to the center dot. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Jagger Firkus | Note | Attempts to clear up the boards, but the puck died at the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Jagger Firkus | Note | Has good power in his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Jagger Firkus | Note | Getting a lot of touches. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Jagger Firkus | Note | Nice chance to see him go full out up ice. His mechanics are sound and he builds up a lot of speed. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Jagger Firkus | Note | He's been everywhere in this game. High work rate player with speed and tenacity up and down the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Pokes a loose puck up ice then beats both defenders to it deep in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Using one hand on the stick while fending off the defenseman with this other arm, yet he is still able to use his wrist strength and make a nice, one-handed pass in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Excellent passer. Hands are soft, his passes on the tape and easy to receive. Lovely stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Plays like he is fully confident that he is the best player on the ice. Composed, quiet game with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Smooth one-time slapshot hits traffic, but the fundamentals were strong. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | His ability to pass off the puckhandle makes his shot more deceptive as he closes on goal. No one can cheat shot when he has the puck on his stick. His vision and hands are so good that he just freezes everyone in place. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Hands are so lively and agile. Bouncing puck in front had no chance when it landed within Savoie's reach. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Hustling through the neutral zone, a chip pass bounces to him, and he chokes way up on his stick to get better control. He brings the puck down and enters the offensive zone at full speed and with full puck possession. What a play. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Note | Puck bounces off the end boards. Savoie closes to the goal line and one-times the bounce down the goal line and into the net. Wow! | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Matthew Savoie | Summary | Excellent player. His passing and vision are near elite level. Skates exceptionally well, and alters pace as necessary to keep defenders guessing. As mentioned, his ability to pass instantly during puckhandling, equally adept forehand or backhand, freezes defenders and goalies and forces them to try to protect against both pass and shot, meaning they are often caught between choices and have a hard time defending either. High iq player in total control of the his game. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Note | Slick and agile, kicks a puck to his stick while skating backwards and makes a clean ten-foot pass. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Note | Acceleration is very upright, with a lot of swing in his shoulders. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Note | Leave the zone early and gets rewarded with a great head-man pass, allowing him to get a partial breakaway. Big shoulder save deflects his wrist shot up over the bar. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Note | He almost stands completely upright when he accelerates. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Note | Turns are very good, but he tends to trail his outside foot a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Note | Wins the puck in the corner, carries behind the net, then hits Orzeck at the right dot for the tying goal. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Michael Milne | Summary | Milne has a good skill set and works hard on every shift. He shows good hockey sense and above average speed, but his acceleration mechanics need work. Edges are quite good and his agility is very good. He went undrafted last year, but that will not happen again. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Nathan Pilling | Note | Good size, a sturdy frame, and he'll take a hit to make the play. | Brian Fogarty | Winnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL) | 10/23/2021 | 11/2/2021 | 10244 |
Cruz Lucius | Note | Finds a gaping hole in the middle of the Muskegon defense and wires a long diagonal pass to Cooley for an excellent chance. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Cruz Lucius | Note | Struggling to keep up with the transition, but he was at the end of his shift. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Cruz Lucius | Note | Gathers a long pass at the blue line, drives to the top of the left circle, fakes shot, pulls the puck around the defender to get inside, then a back pass to McGroarty for a beauty chance, blocked. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Cruz Lucius | Note | Skating on a diagonal through the neutral zone, pass comes but he misses it, and it's through to the end boards for an icing. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Cruz Lucius | Note | Showing off his agility with an excellent spin move off the puck to gain advantageous offensive zone positioning. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Cruz Lucius | Note | At the bumper spot on the powerplay, gets a backhanded chance at a rebound from a Cooley slapshot, and he puts it away. Good, hardnosed, heavy traffic play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Cruz Lucius | Summary | Plays a steady game but he still has some rough edges that need polishing. His skating is okay generally, though he is lacking speed when he pushes up ice. Showed very good hands and good on-ice awareness. I like that he will go hard to the net with and without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Emil Jarventie | Note | Taking up his spot at the top of the crease on the powerplay, makes a nice deflection up under the bar to tie the game late in the third. That's where his goals will come from, not from the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Emil Jarventie | Note | I'd like to see Jarventie and Cooley go head to head on a puck chase. Both are fast and elusive. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Emil Jarventie | Note | Opened up for the incoming pass, takes it, finds Larson on the far post, but the US netminder saves. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Beavertailing going up the ice, but there was simply no passing lane to him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Bad choice to backhand a pass off the defensive zone halfboards, and he puts it right on the tape of the forechecking Muskegon player. The goalie bailed him out, though. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Enters the zone on the powerplay, goes to the net, puts a fairly soft backhand on target that the goalie smothers. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Odd man chance, tries to saucer the puck to the cutter, but hits a defender. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Enters the zone again, tries to saucer one to the opposite side, hits a defender. Rinse. Repeat. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Note | Nazar can skate, but his choices with the puck are confusing. There he created a two-on-one, but held too long and when he did pass it off, he hit the back foot of the winger. Granted, the winger should have pulled up, but that could have been managed better. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Frank Nazar | Summary | Lots of speed and some good scoring ability, but his puck management in this game was questionable at best. He made too many unforced errors, but if he can clear that up he has a nice skillset. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Uses quick crossover steps to accelerate backwards. Good mechanics going forward, too. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Closes on the puck carrier, then harasses him with sticklift attempts. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Isaac Howard | Note | Tries to chip a puck off the boards to go around a forechecker, but the puck doesn't make it through, and he overskated the play, giving Muskegon a turnover and a odd-numbered chance. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Isaac Howard | Note | He shows some physicality. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Jake Richard | Note | Carrying up the left boards, bobbles the puck a bit, but muscles through all the way deep into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Jake Richard | Note | Gets called for interference as Mehlenbacher was skating the puck into the offensive zone. His penalty killed a decent attack. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Puck comes out of the corner, and Cooley collects it near the left dot and puts it hard on net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Compact turns and good push as he comes out of it. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Swipes the puck from a defender, turns, steps in on goal, and beats the netminder five hole. Great individual effort. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | He's fast. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | One shift: comes on the ice as Muskegon is working through the neutral zone. Cooley goes hard back to cover on defense, then as the US defender gains possession, Cooley goes hard up ice, hits the blue line first and tracks down the chipped-in puck. Carries the puck behind the net, around to the right halfboards, passes to the left circle then continues out around the top. Curls back to the left point, then to the center point where he takes a pass, splits two opponents at the top of the left circle, backhands to McGroarty in the slot. Goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Receives the pass with soft hands, puck on his hip, loaded for shot or pass. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | I'd like to see Jarventie and Cooley go head to head on a puck chase. Both are fast and elusive. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Note | Uses his burst to close on a loose puck in the high slot of his defensive zone. He beat the Muskegon player to the puck and moves it to safety to the wing. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Logan Cooley | Summary | Probably the best player in the game, with speed, a wide variety of effective shot selection that he used well and excellent vision. He was constantly on the move, as typified by the shift description in the notes (which was not an abnormal type of shift for Cooley). He is a leader on the ice, if for no other reason than the puck finds him all the time. All of the play goes through him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Owen Mehlenbacher | Note | Beats the defenseman to the loose puck, but overskates and the US start a breakout. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Owen Mehlenbacher | Note | Long strides gets him places faster than it looks like he will. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Owen Mehlenbacher | Note | Average speed, stiff play in general. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Ryan Chesley | Note | Hard hit on the boards. Didn't get full contact, but definitely got enough. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Ryan Chesley | Note | A bit out of position after a line change, but he digs in, stays with the play, and eventually gets between the puck and his goal and breaks up the play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Ryan Chesley | Note | Hard shoulder check in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Ryan Chesley | Note | Playing right point on the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Ryan Chesley | Note | Hard wrist shot wide. He's not afraid to pull the trigger. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Ryan Chesley | Note | Bobbles the puck at the blue line on the powerplay and gives up a breakaway. He worked hard to try to get back and was able to add some back pressure. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Seamus Casey | Note | Effortless edgework skater. He has light footwork and accelerates laterally and straight ahead quickly and with ease. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Seamus Casey | Note | Has the puck at the left point, and a penalty killer dives out to try to poke the puck away from him, but Casey holds and patiently waits, then passes off. Calm. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Seamus Casey | Note | Top penalty kill unit, blocks a shot by taking up a superior position. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Seamus Casey | Note | Keeps a good gap, and gets his stick on the puck to poke it off the shooter's stick at the release point. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Tyler Dunbar | Note | Gets a loose puck, goes to the slot, makes a lateral move and wrists one past the goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Tyler Dunbar | Note | Better with his edges and maneuverability than he is at straight ahead skating. In a straight line, he takes short strides and lifts his feet too high. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL) | 10/9/2021 | 10/28/2021 | 10243 |
Deagan McMillan | Note | Lazy backhand pass straight to an opposing player. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | He's the kind of skater who accelerates like he's just taking a step or two and suddenly he's ahead of everyone on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Tries to poke a puck from a board battle. I'd rather see him engage there instead. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Tries to center to the high slot, but the pass was read and intercepted. Not his best option. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Nice back pass to set up a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Little touch pass to the cutter in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Killing penalties, intercepts and launches an attack. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Rybinski's experience shines when he has the puck, making small, patient, knowledgeable plays. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Wrist shot wide. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Note | Reaching instead of defending. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Henrik Rybinski | Summary | The experienced, quality offensive play is his strength. He makes smart passes in the offensive zone, moving the puck to the advantaged player. Off the puck, his danger level decreases as he tends to make more stick plays than engaged defensive play. Little physical game, at all. Skating is smooth, with good agility and acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jake Sloan | Note | Spent an entire shift just coasting around, watching the play. He looks completely disinterested. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jake Sloan | Summary | Almost no notes taken on his play because I was generally dissatisfied with his lack of intensity or drive. He floated on almost every shift, gliding around in space at both ends, waiting for something, but I'm not sure exactly what. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | Playing the right side on the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | Curls in at the right dot, tries a wrist shot but whiffs completely. So strange. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | Doesn't bring his feet back all the way, so he has a very wide-footed stride. It cuts down his straight-line speed considerably. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | Nice diagonal pass in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | Centers to no one. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | Wrist shot from the left circle looks like it was going wide, but hit a defender in front and deflected in. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Note | One-timer for his second goal of the game. This one was hard and clean. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Jordan Gustafson | Summary | He was hit and miss in the game, showing very skating ability and some offensive flair. However, he made plenty of mistakes, too. Given a couple of years, he should improve to be a viable NHL prospect, but there's work to be done. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | He can really move, fast up ice, leans heavy into his edges on the turn, power backwards. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | Carries the puck into the offensive zone up the left boards, pulls up with the puck and shakes the defender completely to gain space. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | Tons of composure in his game. He plays with control and tempo at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | Passes are accurate, even over long distances, placed and weighted to allow the receiver the best opportunity to gather and attack | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | Plays the game like he's an adult on the playground, allowing the kids to play until he needs to step in a take over to get something done. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | Follows the rush, goes to the front of the net, banging away for a rebound, but Boyko smothers. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | Haven't seen him make a bad pass all game. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Note | Excellent long bounce pass off the side boards, right on target. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Kevin Korchinski | Summary | Korchinski looked like an excellent blue-line prospect. He has the size at 6'2, 185 in his draft year, with excellent skating and high hockey iq. His poise on and off the puck is truly remarkable. His passing is superb and consistently well-selected. His positioning may have been off a couple of times, but he often corrected quickly, and his active stick and long reach helped to compensate. Several times he simply swept the puck off of the attacker's stick. Just an excellent two-way player. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Long wrist shot from the left point flutters to the net. Didn't get much behind that shot. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Carrying the puck out of his zone, tries to sweep a pass back to his defense partner, but loses control, then falls as he tries to turn back. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Good reads on defense, playing a smart positional game but not physical at all. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Note | Good and patient passer, looks comfortable with the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Lukas Dragicevic | Summary | Has a ways to go in his development, but he looks like an offensive defenseman with the full toolkit of quickness, playmaking ability and solid play in his own end, as well. One to watch to check in on his overall game awareness and cleaning up his game at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Rhett Melnyk | Note | Good speed, mechanics look good, but he'll get better as he gains leg strength. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Rhett Melnyk | Note | In a race against Korchinski, but the big defender had the speed and the better angle. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Sam Oremba | Note | Solid hit on the forecheck forces the defender to move the puck before he was ready. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Sam Oremba | Note | Quick off the hop, gets across plenty of ice in the first couple of steps. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Sam Oremba | Note | Splits the defenders with speed, but his wrist shot for the top left corner misses high and wide. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs Tri-City (WHL) | 10/22/2021 | 10/26/2021 | 10242 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Enters the zone, slows, then backhands a short saucer pass to the winger with speed. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Top PP unit | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Tries a long diagonal pass through the neutral zone but leads his man too far, and he looks at the sky in apparent self-admonition. As the play is blown dead for icing, he waves an apology to his linemate. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Smooth on his pivots. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Takes a pass from Marchenko and immediately converts it to a shot, but a good save stops him. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | A couple more nice, short passes that set up scoring chances. If the play is there, he finds it. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Likes to bang his stick on the ice to try to distract the opposing puck carrier. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Goes back to help out on defense. Solid positional play in his own end. This guy is a pro all around. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Goes hard down the goal line, driving the net, and as he closes, goes backhand to shield the puck, but instead of going back forehand for a shooting angle, he slips a pass to the far side of the slot for a one-timer goal. Excellent play to both protect the puck on his attack, drawing all the attention, then finding the open man. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Straightline speed is okay, but his edges, strength on his skates and maneuverability provides him a lot of opportunity. Coupled with his awareness, he never looks out of position or lacking footspeed. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | His ability to make plays in small areas and in heavy traffic bodes well for playing on the smaller North American ice if he ever comes over. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Big slapper that the goalie stopped, but he checking behind himself. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Note | Tie game, 1:20 left in the third, he takes a pass just inside the offensive zone, toe drags around the defender, lowers his shoulder, drives, then beats the goaltender roof from in tight. Beauty goal that breaks the late tie. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Andrei Kuzmenko | Summary | His game is so well refined at this point. He plays all three zones with fire, makes smart, little plays. Shows exceedingly good edgework and has a strong, solid base. Variety of shots, vision and game awareness. He could be an effective player on North American ice and could easily be a two-way middle six forward with scoring upside. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Tries a move to the inside of the defenseman, gets a step around him and draws a tripping penalty. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Top PP unit | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |

Kirill Marchenko | Note | Excellent lead pass into space for a Kuzmenko chance. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | In constant motion, always hounding the play, and he moves so well at his size and uses his maneuverability as a valuable tool. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Deceptive behind-the-back pass that he hid from the goaltender, puck out the point for a one-time slapshot that beats the goaltender low. Nice setup and assist for Marchenko. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Kirill Marchenko | Summary | Always impressive with his work ethic and willingness to battle and claw for everything. I like him more every time I watch him. He's still not a getting a ton of minutes, but he is playing on the powerplay and contributing something on every shift. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Edgework is so good, allowing him precise turns, change of direction and lateral movement. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Closes down a defender on the forecheck in just a couple of steps. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | On the penalty kill unit, and he's effective with his speed and agility, active stick forcing puck carriers to change their minds. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Goes for a loose puck but misjudges and collides with a teammate. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Good angle on the forecheck earns him a takeaway. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Blocks a shot by stepping laterally into the shooting lane. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Keeps his stick on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Plays inside the opponent, gets between the player and the puck, and is willing to use physical play to make sure he gets there. | Brian Fogarty | SKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity | 10/15/2021 | 10/22/2021 | 10241 |
Alexis Bonefon | Note | Gets toppled over by what didn't look like much of a hit. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Closes on the point man and forces the defenseman to dump the puck, then muscles him out of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Gets a breakaway, but Tourigny closes on him and cuts off his angle, and Desnoyers fires a wrist shot, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Killing penalties with L'Heureux, and they got away on a two-on-one, but couldn't pay it off in the end. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Keeps getting good looks at the net because he's making himself available in space, and keeping his body in position to make an attempt when he does get the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Fancy deke, buying time in the offensive zone while his team changes lines. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |

Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Give and go, Desnoyers to Dumais to Desnoyers, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Summary | So effective all over the ice. Play awareness is so good, he makes an impact on each shift regardless of game situation because he's moving his feet, putting himself in the right spot on the ice, and constantly trying to drive play toward the opponents net. His offensive game is developing nicely. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Great little flick pass into space leads Desnoyers to a breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Decent speed as he hustles for a puck down ice. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | A pass intended for Desnoyers gets stopped at the crease, but Dumais was following the play to the net and he quickly wrists the loose puck home to tie the game. Good awareness of the game flow on that play. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Fast, able to carry into the offensive zone, takes his man wide, then slides a centering pass to L'Heureux who gets hauled down to prevent the dangerous chance. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Quick feet, quick hands. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Wow. Puck behind the net, Desnoyers kicks it out to the side of the crease, where Dumais was closing in. All alone (both defenders were below the net), he stops the puck, rolls his wrists to get the blade behind the puck, then roofs it from right at the edge of the crease. What a beautiful goal. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Another great show of hands as he takes a pass from Desnoyers, passes back to his left through the defender's triangle, and hits L'Heureux's stick perfectly for the tap in. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Stick in the lane breaks up a pass at one end, then hustles up ice, takes a pass and throws a nasty dangle that gets him to the front of the net. High skill player. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Note | Give and go, Desnoyers to Dumais to Desnoyers, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Dumais | Summary | Highly skilled player getting a lot of minutes on the top line, and for good reason. His hands are so fast, and his read of the play so good, that the puck continues to find him, and when it does, he makes the opposition pay. He plays with speed, but it's his hockey sense that puts him where he should be. Not appearing on any of the main 2022 draft lists yet, but he will. I can see him as a first-round pick at this point. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Tourigny | Note | Shows excellent speed to chase down Desnoyers' breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Jordan Tourigny | Note | Excellent skater like his brother. A little raw, for sure, but there's a lot to build on there. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Lorenzo Canonica | Note | Well done to cover back to the point as the defender pinches in. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Lorenzo Canonica | Note | His pass is a bit behind the winger going up ice, and the attack stalls out. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Lorenzo Canonica | Note | Killing penalties, intercepts a pass, carries all the way to the net, but James saves the attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | A step slower than most of the pack as Shawinigan transitions through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Backhand pass down through the slot to the winger going to the net. Beauty of a pass. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Seems to be a player that reacts to the play instead of creating it. He waits for someone to get him the puck, then he tries to make something happen. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Put in a big effort to try to get back to stop a two-on-one, but despite going full out, he couldn't close the gap. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Comes off the bench and goes hard into the far corner to pressure the puck on the forecheck. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Does everything with urgency. Not rushing the play, but his work rate is high level and he's not holding anything back as he plays. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | With the puck, ducks behind his defender for a quick screen, then passes up the boards to clear the zone. Took a big hit for his efforts, too. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | His play in his own end to make good, safe breakout passes is remarkably consistent. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Oliver Nadeau | Note | Opening shift, gets crossfooted by the puckcarrier's cutback, but just after, he's up, takes a pass and shows very good speed through the neutral zone with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Oliver Nadeau | Note | Parked at the back door on the powerplay, looking for the tip-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Oliver Nadeau | Note | Makes a pretty pass on the middle part of a tic-tac-toe powerplay sequence. He drew the keeper to his side threatening shot, then zipped the pass cross-crease giving Bourgault a wide-open net to shoot into. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Senna Peeters | Note | Intercepts inside the blue line and when the defender trips himself up, Peeters has time, walks in, and beats the goalie over his shoulder. Great shot, horrible defending. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Paws a puck out of the air then makes a 50-foot diagonal pass to the far dot. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Another good look, this one finds Nadeau at the crease, but a sliding right pad save from James gets the puck out of danger and into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Battling along the wall, strong on his skates and on the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Yet another look on the powerplay, this one cross-ice to Bourque to Nadeau and into the net. Excellent powerplay shift for Bourgault. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Sees the ice so well. Makes smart little passes, strong long passes, and is always getting the puck to the more dangerous player. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Lofts a perfectly weighted chip pass over two defenders and drops it right in front of the head man. Speechless. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | Very good speed, good agility, excellent balance and stability. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Note | That was the third or fourth time that he's shot the puck from the slot, and each time he has tried to go low, mostly for the five hole. None were successful. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Xavier Bourgault | Summary | Looks like a complete package NHL player. Plays a super-smart game, and his passing is not only accurate and easily handled, but he makes the right passes at the right times to set up his linemates for aggressive attacks. He skates well, and shows good speed, but it is his strength on his feet and in his hands that allows him to play the type of game that he does. He looks like an NHLer, and maybe only his shot needs work. That said, he looks like middle-six is his floor, and he has top-line NHL potential. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/15/2021 | 10/18/2021 | 10240 |
Braeden MacPhee | Note | Accelerates up the boards after the puck, gets brought down and draws a holding penalty. His burst put the defender in trouble. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Kieffer Lyons | Note | Acceleration looks a little leaky. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Kieffer Lyons | Note | Dumps the puck and tires to rush past MacKinnon but can't get separation from the defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Logan Crosby | Note | Hard edge stop and pivot, well balanced, able to get exactly where he wanted despite the snap change of direction to get to the tipped pass. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Logan Crosby | Note | Hustles to a loose puck then passes back to the slot, finds Gauthier, earns an assist. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Lucas Canning | Note | Gets buried by a hard check in the corner, but pops back up. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Lucas Canning | Note | Spends a lot of time bent over at the waist. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Spending a lot of time in his own zone floating towards the play, but not getting involved in any meaningful way. Sort of turning from one dot to the other. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Centering the top PP unit, showing good puckhandling in tight spaces. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Speed is average, nothing dynamic about his straightline skating. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Tries a one-timer but whiffs on it. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Not liking his lack of defensive intensity. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | On the left side the powerplay, but slowly gliding out toward the puck at the point. Even if the point man passed to him, Vidicek is limiting his next option if he gets the puck. Get active, man! | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Good, hard, one-touch pass through the high slot. He has good hands, for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Looks better with the puck on his stick than any other time. Otherwise he is playing so slowly. Early season malaise? | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Backchecking forward chases down Vidicek and knocks the puck away from Vidicek's stick. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Excellent chip pass to Crosby releases him up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Finds a rebound at the top of the crease and snaps it in. Again, good hands in tight places. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Note | Good defensive positioning on the play, maybe the first time I've seen in this game where he looked decisive in his zone. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Markus Vidicek | Summary | There were glimpses of what he can be when he had the puck: tight puckhandling, confidence with the puck, hard release. However, he spent a lot of this game doing mostly nothing at all. It is possible that there was something going on with him (illness, lack of game shape, bad mood) so more viewings are warranted to see if this was a bad game or a general mode of play. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Good speed, even when not pushing hard. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Nice forecheck effort, bumping the defender off the puck on the end boards, then keeping the puck deep. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Looks to start a rush but gets tripped and draws the penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Pauses on the boards with the puck, draws the hit, and times the pass correctly to make the play up the boards for a clean breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Whynot finds him with a beautiful pass, and Cataford is in alone. Tries to wrist one from 15 feet, but the goalie makes the save. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Note | Works to the net, incoming shot hits someone in front, and he is able to get his stick on it and pitchforks a backhand five hole for the go-ahead goal with six minutes left. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Mathieu Cataford | Summary | Plays with a spark. He has quickness that he uses to his advantage both with the puck and on the forecheck. Made good choices and showed a willingness to draw pressure to make a play. Has a scorers intentions and goes to the danger areas to make plays. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/15/2021 | 10239 |
Alexis Brisson | Note | Locked up with Savoie from the opening faceoff, chirping, shoving, wrestling at puck drop. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Alexis Brisson | Note | Like his fluid mobility. Light skater. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Alexis Brisson | Note | Trailing the backcheck, when he should have tried to close on the player heading to the slot. When at last he tried, he was too late and allowed a top-of-the-crease chance. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |

Antoine Roy | Note | Good size, speed looks average, and he seems hesitant on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Antonin Verreault | Note | Quick, hustles up ice, takes a crosscheck and draws the penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |

Antonin Verreault | Note | Accelerates into an empty space to steal a pass, then flicks a feed to his linemate for a high-danger chance. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |

Antonin Verreault | Note | Again showing the awareness to adjust speed to find the open ice, this time making himself available for the pass and scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Antonin Verreault | Note | Verreault's agility is excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Antonin Verreault | Note | Vision and awareness. I like everything about his game, but I haven't seen him get a clean shot off yet. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |

Colby Huggan | Note | Bad choice trying to block Hanelt's progress in the corner, and when Hanelt cuts back, Huggan checks the empty boards. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Colby Huggan | Note | Tries to feed a cutter to the net, but the chance never materializes and the puck goes into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Colby Huggan | Note | Works hard to regain possession after his team gave up the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Colby Huggan | Note | Gets in a faceoff crosscheck fight with Savoie, but the refs break it up. Both go to the box in what is becoming an increasingly chippy game. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Second powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | I like how he uses his body positioning, in this case spinning off the crosscheck and dropping his back foot to gain inside position at the net. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Drives hard to the slot, but the pass comes way out in front of his lead foot, and he can't get his stick on it. Too bad. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Choses to turn away from the loose puck and tries to get a jump out of the zone, but his teammate doesn't get to the loose puck either, and there's no clean breakout pass. Get possession first! | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Plays strong on and off the puck in the dirty areas. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Has a big motor, and he skates well, meaning he's always getting to the spots, always putting himself in a place to make a play. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Takes a hard crosscheck to the mouth. Ouch. Goes off for medical attention. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Haakon Hanelt | Note | Back out on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Manix Landry | Note | A gorgeous play to take the puck from the rightwing halfboards, attack the slot and draw defenders, then makes a no-look, behind-the-back pass to his wide open teammate for a clean look at goal. Great assist. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Miguel Tourigny | Note | Showing off his speed as he carries the puck through the neutral zone, then gets tripped by a diving defender, and still manages to sweep the puck to the top of the crease for an easy tap-in goal. Sweet individual effort to set up the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Samuel Savoie | Note | Locked up with Brisson from the opening faceoff, chirping, shoving, wrestling at puck drop. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Samuel Savoie | Note | Second powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |

Samuel Savoie | Note | Steals the puck on the red line boards, enters the zone, but doesn't have the speed to back the defender off, so he gets bottled up and turns back. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Samuel Savoie | Note | Nice, hard shoulder check on the defenseman trying to break out, but the hit was a half-second too late and the puck is up and out of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Samuel Savoie | Note | Pitchforks a weak backhand shot that the goalie kicks into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Samuel Savoie | Note | Hard wrist shot from the top of the right circle. Hits the crest. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Samuel Savoie | Note | Ill-advised wraparound attempt that fizzles out. | Brian Fogarty | Gatineau vs Blaineville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) | 10/2/2021 | 10/4/2021 | 10238 |
Brody Lamb | Note | Quick, gets full extension on his push | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |

Brody Lamb | Note | Left side on the powerplay, moving and keeping his stick ready | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Brody Lamb | Note | On the powerplay, tries a pass across the slot, intercepted | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |

Brody Lamb | Summary | This was a game early in the season, and the entire affair was sloppy and disjointed, and Lamb's play was no exception. I think at best it was a good opportunity to see some of his skating mechanics, which looked good to very good. There was so little smooth puck play in the game, so not much to note about his puck handling, etc. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Davis Burnside | Note | Pins the defenseman to the boards with some intensity | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |

Davis Burnside | Note | Picks up a puck in his own right-side circle, but he gets stripped and loses it right away to the other team. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Davis Burnside | Note | Tries to get out on a breakaway, but doesn't have the wheels to get free of the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Davis Burnside | Note | Takes a hard hit while trying to poke the puck across the blue line and into the offensive zone. He was not ready for that. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Davis Burnside | Summary | Looked more quick than fast, but there's some promise to his play, despite the low quality of this game in general. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Ethan Fredericks | Note | Killing penalties. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Ethan Fredericks | Note | Works to the slot, slaps a bouncing puck into the net for his first goal of the season. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Ethan Fredericks | Note | Good job to tie up his opponent off the faceoff and allow his teammate to retrieve the puck and enter the offensive zone with possession. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Gregory Spitznagel | Note | Push is wide, restricts his extension, makes him look like he has a waddle in his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Gregory Spitznagel | Note | Goes to a knee to block a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Nicholas VanTassell | Note | Speed looks okay, about average straight line with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Nicholas VanTassell | Note | Working the top of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Nicholas VanTassell | Note | Tiny, choppy cross-over steps. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 9/24/2021 | 9/29/2021 | 10237 |
Chase Pearson | Note | Pearson does all of his damage right at the goal mouth. I don't recall seeing him have a dangerous shot from more than ten feet out. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Chase Pearson | Note | On the powerplay, from just left of the right dot, a hard wrist shot high that goes over the net. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cole Sillinger | Note | Out killing penalties, joins a short-handed rush, takes the pass, buries it. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cole Sillinger | Note | Dangerous again on the penalty kill, with a partial break and a hard wrist shot just wide. Pearson was struggling to keep up, but couldn't. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cole Sillinger | Note | Sillinger's speed is a weapon. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Looks so solid on the ice, and plays like it, too. Not fast, probably about average speed or just a bit better. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Will go straight to the top of the crease, with or without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Stick down, preventing passes. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Good cross-ice head pass starts the breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Veleno carrying the puck into the offensive zone, and Hanas tries to step across his line, and accidentally bumps him off of the puck. Why? | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Fighting for a loose puck at the goal mouth, pokes it in. Tough, greasy goal. [Note that on replaying, the puck actually had landed behind the goalie's left pad, and Hanas's jab at it hit the pad as the puck was already edging across the line. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Jake Gaudet | Note | Killing penalties. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Jake Gaudet | Note | His straight line mechanics look awkward. His push is short, his return is short, and his arms are all over the place. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Veleno seems to like it down low on the right side and ripping shots on net from about the goal line. He scored there in an earlier game, and hit the post this time. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Not watching him in this game, but he just made such a perfectly weighted pass through traffic that I had to make a note of it. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Luke Toporowski | Note | Slow to get back, his man goes to the net, and Toporowski is not there in time to prevent the scoring chance. Goal against. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Martin Rysavy | Note | Playing a mostly passive game at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Martin Rysavy | Note | Good example of the passivity: puck on the offensive boards between two Detroit players about five feet apart. Rysavy tries to skate past and snag the puck instead of digging in and trying to win possession. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Martin Rysavy | Note | Again just reaching out for the puck instead of engaging, and this time Veleno just goes right past time. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Martin Rysavy | Note | Looks willing to put his shoulder in if he has no chance at a puck. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Fakes a defending forward, throws a wrist shot at the net blocked. Not much action on that shot. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Hard cross check at the front of the net. Mutter is nasty tough to play against. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Monster shoulder check on the back boards. He still knows how to throw crushing hits. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | There's something about him that is so intriguing to me. Size, decent skating, decent hockey sense, and physicality that intimidates opponents. He just doesn't score, otherwise he would be an excellent pro prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Mutter: guess what? Yep. A big hit along the boards. Then another one. Then he circles to the slot and gets a good chance, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Drives, turns at a glide with the puck in front of him, eyes up, passes through the defender's triangle and sets up a beautiful chance. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Stanislav Svozil | Note | Not focusing on him here, but he keeps making smart, high-quality plays. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Stanislav Svozil | Note | I have Svozil too low on my current Top Defenders prospect ranking. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Good chance to see him skate full out as he tries to beat out an icing. Excellent form, impressive speed. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Nice look to the slot to Sillinger in space, but the pass was a bit off target and Sillinger couldn't bring it in. Too bad. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Driving the right side, drops to Sillinger, circles in front of the net, then recognizes that the left defenseman had pinched in low, so Chinakhov hurries back to the blue line to cover. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Plays patiently, engaged but not overly aggressive, especially without the puck. It's like you can see him thinking, making the calculations, winding the spring. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Rocket one-timer from the right circle, hits traffic and bounces so high straight up that all the players at the net stopped to wait for it to come back down. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Subtle play to adjust his skating line and just basically create a running screen all through the defensive zone, allowing his D a chance to start the breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Rocket one-timer from the top of the right circle (sound familiar?) that beats the netminder clean. What an excellent one-timer he has from there. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Time running out at the end of the second period, he has the puck on the wall just inside the blue line, and he wires a wrist shot that the goaltender had to fight off with his blocker. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | His wrist shot is hard and deceptive, and he can get it away from odd body positions. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Driving the neutral zone, passes to Sillinger on his left across to the blue line, takes an angle into space in front of Sillinger. When Sillinger passes to him, Chinakhov--with his back to the puck--lets the puck slide through his skates until it is in front of his left foot, then he one-times a snap shot on goal. Made me gasp. The play-by-play announcer didn't even know how to describe the play. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Puck at the blue line, Chinakhov in the high slot with his back to the net, facing the puck. Takes the pass, circles out to just inside the blue line, goes to the very high slot area, then blasts a 45-foot wrist shot over the goalie's shoulder. Wow! | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Note | Goodness. Another one-time slapper from the top of the right circle. Excellent weight transfer. Blows it past the goaltender who was set up and ready but never even flinched. Hat trick. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Yegor Chinakhov | Summary | A smart player with excellent on-ice awareness and an upper-echelon shot. Skates well, and his balance is particularly evident in his ability to get his shot away no matter what his body position is. He's not a dynamic, game-breaking hockey player, and as such, I'm not sure that he'll become a top-line NHLer, but I'd be surprised if he wasn't a good second-line scoring winger. He passes well and sees the ice so well, and he is a creative offensive player without being a puck hog or neglecting his responsibilities. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros | 9/19/2021 | 9/22/2021 | 10236 |
Jonatan Berggren | Note | Berggren is so smart with the puck. He sees everything and knows exactly what he wants to do. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Looks big and strong, just a solid NHL-type build. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Powerful stride without a lot of wasted movement. Speed is good. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Hard wrist shot from the top of the circle, low far side, but the goalie fights it off with the pad. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Does well to cover the crease with the netminder trapped below the goal line. Veleno saved a goal, there. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Tries to split two defenders but can't get through and he loses the puck into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Gets a nice feed from Berggren and wrists it short side low, beats the goalie at the post. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Muscles his way through a check in the corner and leads a breakout. That's the kind of possession play that will earn Veleno his paychecks. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Joseph Veleno | Summary | Doesn't look that different from what I've seen from him before. Strong possession forward, good offensive tools, nothing spectacular but a workman-like player who has an NHL future. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Strong first push gives him good acceleration from a stop. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Cheating up towards the blue line with the puck in his zone. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | But… when the Wings get a turnover and break out, he's up ice fast on a 3-on-2 and buries a wrist shot short side top shelf. He held to puck long enough to freeze the goaltender, then roofed it over his shoulder. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Snappy pass off the boards to hit a cutter who feeds Pearson for the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Excellent read as he gets a short pass from Berggren then one-touches a pass to the wing to the player with no one near him and a clear scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Uses body position so well to protect the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Sort of half-hearted bump into the puck holder on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Slides laterally well with his stick active, eliminating lanes in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Just tenacious out there, always engaged and active. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Note | Gets the puck, turns his man to the net, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Kirill Tyutyayev | Summary | Probably the most effective player in the game, regardless of the goals he scored. Every shift he had the puck and made something happen. Has the speed, offensive mindset, good play going back. Does not look like he is as small as he is listed. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Takes a nice diagonal route to the net, stick ready, but the pass for the corner doesn't get through to him. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Playing in the middle of the powerplay. He holds his top hand in high and tight against his chest to keep his stick blade flat on the ice but in close to his feet. Looks so awkward. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Certainly not afraid to get to the slot area. Moves fast. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Choppy acceleration that is good but can be improved. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Note | Speeds up the right wing boards, but can't turn the corner against McIsaac, who just plays him off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Logan Stankoven | Summary | Worked hard, but nothing seemed to break for him. I liked that he seemed fearless and willing to go to the high-traffic areas to make plays. Needs to work on some issues with his feed and hands, but if he does, he could have a good professional future. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Pasquale Zito | Note | Takes a bad angle to the defender and allows a clean transition with speed. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Pasquale Zito | Note | Speed looks average. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Pasquale Zito | Note | Not very effective so far, looks off by a step or two and mostly floating at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Pasquale Zito | Note | Tries a wraparound, but the goaltender was ready for it and makes an easy save. Too slow in developing. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Looks good on the move, but his first step is listless. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Better glider than skater. Just gets so little push and takes a long time to reset, but he can make up for some of that with his long reach. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Trails the attack by a good bit because he just isn't getting up the ice fast enough. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Has big drive, and as mentioned is good on the glide once he gets up to speed. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Gets a ton of leverage on his snap shot so he generates a lot of power behind it. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Comes out onto the ice after a change, straight into the offensive zone and a lucky puck lands right in his wheelhouse for a heavy one-time snap shot goal. Bang! | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Thomas Harley | Note | Harley is so smooth with the puck in transition. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Wyatt Johnston | Note | Top powerplay unit for this squad, playing at the bumper spot. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Wyatt Johnston | Note | Puck in his zone skips to his feet and he tries to just chop it blind out of the zone, but hits traffic at the blue line and stays in. He had time to make a more controlled play but didn't use it. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Wyatt Johnston | Note | Can't handle a pass and it skips away to a Red Wings player. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Yevgeni Oksentyuk | Note | Ill-advised behind the back pass that went straight to the Red Wing defender because Johnston had turned the other way and never saw the pass coming. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Yevgeni Oksentyuk | Note | Gets a one-time opening, but his shot goes center net, and the sprawling goaltender is able to make a save. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Yevgeni Oksentyuk | Note | Getting powerplay time in the middle. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Yevgeni Oksentyuk | Note | So lucky not get destroyed there. Took a suicide pass by turning fully around. Eeeek. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Yevgeni Oksentyuk | Note | Pitchforks a backhand pass to Kawaguchi, but puts into his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Detroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City Prospe | 9/17/2021 | 9/18/2021 | 10235 |
Adam Sykora | Note | Races past Miroshnichenko up the left wing boards, drives into the offensive zone, soft pass to the middle that sets up a shot. Excellent wheels | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Adam Sykora | Note | Second-unit powerplay, working low at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Adam Sykora | Note | Using his feet to get a step ahead of the defending player, then passes off to the better option. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Adam Sykora | Summary | Sykora's game is all about using his skating ability to create opportunities. He showed decent vision and game awareness, and a strong drive to push up ice into the offensive zone. He worked diligently at both ends of the ice, but he wasn't as effective as I'd like him to be. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Gets his stick into the lane to break up a pass. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Top powerplay unit, taking up residence in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Gets a shot away while falling. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Good hard pass to launch an attack, then hustles to follow the play to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | If the puck reaches him in the slot, its immediately on net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Uses his long reach to hold the puck at length and sweep around the Russian forechecker in the neutral zone. Confident with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Note | Excellent work to get back and break up what could have been a quality Michkov chance. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Dalibor Dvorsky | Summary | Skating is above average, with good balance in tough traffic. Showed nice hands and the ability to carry the puck through the neutral zone, but he's not a puck handler. Choices were sound, puck movement quality, but his weapon is his ability to generate shots on net from within fifteen feet of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Demidov | Note | Turning a bit in on defense, looking uncertain. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Demidov | Note | Head up, puts a sneaky backhand pass from below the goal line out to the side of the crease, goal. Great look. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Demidov | Note | Playing low on the second-unit powerplay, moves the puck with intention and snap. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Shows good balance as a hit spins him but he keeps his feet and is right back at it. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Good positioning to the left of a goal-mouth scramble. When the puck pops out, Kvochko finds him and Miroshnichenko buries it into the open net. A little lucky, perhaps, but he was ready and in the right place. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Gets another chance from the right of the crease, but the pass is in his feet and he couldn't get the shot away. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Sends a pass a bit behind the target. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Wearing the "C" for the Russians | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Note | Another goal from about the same place. He's a menace from that spot, and his teammates know he's going to be there and be ready. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Ivan Miroshnichenko | Summary | Plays a quiet type of game, staying low and steady at both ends of the ice, using his positioning to create and defend attacks. His main role in the offensive attack was to set up at the side of the slot and funnel shots on net, and he was good at that. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Continues to be effective in getting the puck up ice and on net. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Juraj Slafkovsky | Note | Drives the puck up the right, slides it over, goal. He made that play with effort, speed, determination. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Partial break at the end of a shift, but just takes a long-distance wrist shot that the goalie handles. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Top penalty kill unit | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Tries a long saucer pass from the corner out to the opposite side blue line, but intercepted. Not the greatest choice there. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Plays the right half-boards on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Michkov just gets his shot away whenever he wants. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Gave up a shot to try a pass, but it was tipped away from danger. Thought he should have just ripped it from there instead. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Note | Not to be deterred, Michkov heads back up ice, draws three defenders, then makes a fantastic pass to the side of the net, through traffic, for an easy tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Matvei Michkov | Summary | Even in a game where he was drawing a ton of attention from the defenders and wasn't his most effective, he still managed to have a big impact on the game. He's not the most dynamic skater, but he is strong on his skates, and a puck possession monster. He sees the ice, knows what he wants to do, and it's difficult for the defense to prevent him from doing it. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Peter Repcik | Note | Bad giveaway from the top of the circle allows the Russians to launch a counter attack. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Peter Repcik | Note | Like his stride mechanics, but his turns are a bit wide. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Semyon Sinyatkin | Note | Big burst of speed on the penalty kill draws a penalty to prevent him from a clean breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | Russia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky Cup | 8/7/2021 | 9/14/2021 | 10234 |
Brayden Boehm | Note | Goes back to the bench hard. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Carlen Dezainde | Note | Hustles out to harass the point man. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Carlen Dezainde | Note | Not a lot of knee bend, so he's not pushing through with long extensions. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Carson Latimer | Note | Gets caught water skiing. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Cayden Glover | Note | His first step looks average from a stop, but his third/fourth step acceleration was good there chasing down a loose puck. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Short, choppy strides, but he has a change of gears when necessary | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Carries up the left side, muscles past a check in the neutral zone, dips in, wrap around, goal. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Takes a bump up high, but his balance is strong through his legs and he shrugs it off. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Killing penalty, wide sweeping stick, decent lateral movement to clog lanes. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Shovels a pass to the crease for a good chance. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Steps inside of the defender to get position for a stretch pass, and he creates a partial breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Always working to drive offense and get pucks into scoring positions. Hard worker, big scoring drive. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Logan Dowhaniuk | Note | Penalty kill time. Puts a hip check into the puck carrier just inside the blue line and puts an end to that attack. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Logan Dowhaniuk | Note | Not doing much to give an outlet to his defensive partner who was behind their net and under pressure. Dowhaniuk needs to create an option there, but he was watching. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Oasiz Wiesblatt | Note | Bad pass in skates at speed, but he's able to pirouette, stabilize the puck then flick a backhand pass to keep the rush moving. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Oasiz Wiesblatt | Note | Super responsible on defense. Gets back fast, covers for his D if they pinch in. In that sequence, he tied up the opponent at the front of the net and completely neutralized him. Well played. | Brian Fogarty | Edmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL) | 4/25/2021 | 7/16/2021 | 10233 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Just coasting and floating around up top in his own zone while the entire play was happening at his net. No defensive input at all there. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Strength on his edges allows him to be highly maneuverable laterally | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Tries a no-look backhand pass to the slot, but finds nothing. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Driving the neutral zone, takes a pass on the center ice dot, hits the offensive zone with one defender between him and the goalie, then passes no look to his left, to literally no one at all. I watched the sequence five times and still have no idea what he was thinking there. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Again, tries to pass without looking his teammate, and missed him by probably ten feet for an easy recovery by the opposing penalty killers who then clear the zone. What is up with him? | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Tries to drag the puck around the defender, but leaves it there. Bad turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Ayrton Martino | Note | Still not engaging in defensive play, but a puckhandling Tri-City forward got too close and Martino stripped him. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Hunter Strand | Note | Good speed, nice skating technique | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Hunter Strand | Note | When he goes full out, he has head way out in front of his skates, back almost parallel to the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Hunter Strand | Note | Nothing too special about his skating. Average or a little better speed, average or a little better agility. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Hunter Strand | Note | Being heavily relied on to do everything in this game, and the reason is obvious. He's solid in all aspects, probably the best all-around utility forward on the team. But, there's not much spark there. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Kieran Cebrian | Note | Not getting much ice time, but when he does, he's involved, skating well, getting to the net and into the scrums. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Straight ahead speed is lacking, maybe average. Lots of upper body movement side-to-side, feet moving fast, but he's not driving forward. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Strong stick, good position, creates a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Matthew Knies | Note | He's a better skater with the puck than without, because when he has the puck, he keeps his stick out in front while straight-line skating, and is more balanced with less wasted movement. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Snappy release on the wrist shot at speed. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Matthew Knies | Note | Plays big when he has the puck. Hard to move and knock off his line. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Vinnie Borgesi | Note | Smooth crossovers, excellent acceleration, eager to join the rush. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Vinnie Borgesi | Note | Good, hard slapshot from the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Vinnie Borgesi | Note | Powerplay sequence, wrists one from 60 feet and hits the post. This kid has a hard shot. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Vinnie Borgesi | Note | Again using excellent crossovers to gain lateral acceleration. He's a good skater. I'm really starting to like this kid as a player. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Vinnie Borgesi | Note | Applying pressure to prevent a breakout, using his quickness to close a gap and force the Omaha player to abandon the attempt and turn back. | Brian Fogarty | Omaha vs Tri-City (USHL) | 4/23/2021 | 7/10/2021 | 10232 |
Dylan Duke | Note | High work-rate player. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Dylan Duke | Note | Rifles a pass right to left, but it was too much for Behrens to handle. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Dylan Duke | Note | Keeps his stick on the ice, attentive and ready. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Dylan Duke | Note | Trips the Czech goalie, gets buried into the boards. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Dylan Duke | Summary | Did a lot of little things well in the game, gaining inside position at the crease, making himself available for passes, working into open spaces, and working hard on the defensive side of the game. He's not an offensive force by any means, but he plays a solid, honest game in all three zones. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jakub Altrichter | Note | Looks to be a bit slow going up the ice. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jakub Altrichter | Note | Good stickwork on the backcheck leads to a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jakub Altrichter | Note | Half-hearted bump mostly just distracted the US puck carrier. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jakub Altrichter | Note | He's making me crazy. When you watch him, he has a good tool set, with good skating, elusive puck handling, above average work rate, but nothing is happening for him. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jakub Brabanec | Note | He has a quality skill set and good offensive instincts. He's been one of the top drivers for the Czechs in this game. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Second powerplay unit, playing low and battling at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Big player at 6'4, 198 | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Good mobility, using his agility to shake a defender and spin off the wall with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Decent recovery speed on the back check. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | With his size and skating, if he develops some scoring (he's young for the draft) he could become a good NHL-type player. Need to see some offense first, though. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Bites on a fake by Lane Hutson at the blue line, and Hutson drives past and starts a dangerous sequence. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Great backhand look as he cuts hard to the high slot. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Jaroslav Chmelar | Note | Successfully chases down and catches Behrens on a back check. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Justin Janicke | Note | Speedy, just took an excellent line to prevent the shooter from a good look at the net. Went to the lane first, and then closed in on the shooter. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Justin Janicke | Note | Plays a slip and weave style. Ducks under bigger players and beats them with his edges. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Justin Janicke | Note | Tries to tie up Rysavy with his stick, but putting his stick out did nothing to stop Rysavy from getting his stick on the puck and scoring. Janicke needed to step in and actually tie up Rysavy instead of just trying to block him with a waist-high stick | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Justin Janicke | Note | His defensive game needs a lot of work to get to an effective level. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Justin Janicke | Note | Has the puck on the low boards, and he spins directly into the Czech defender and loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Justin Janicke | Note | Throws a puck to the slot, but the only players there are all wearing Czech sweaters. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Shows some quickness through the neutral zone, then chips it past the US defender and goes to the corner. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Pucks scrum on the boards, he wins the puck then flicks a backhand pass to a teammate at the circle. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Skates hard to get back to his zone, going full out until he hit his defensive assignment then pulling up hard. There's no glide in his game. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Good choice to back off instead of attempting to race to a 50/50 puck. If he'd been unsuccessful, that would have been a 2-on-1 going the other way. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | He's a part of the action on every shift, always making some kind of impact on a play. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | What form on his one-timer. Looks picture perfect on form, and he gets a ton of power from it. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | One-timer, kept it low on the ice, but the goalie made a good save. Pajer's one-timer is top notch. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Steals a puck in his own end, drives up ice diagonally, entering the offensive zone along the left boards, but loses an edge pulling up. He then hustles back, lifts a stick, dives to block a shot. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Another smart, safe play, this time to chip the puck past a defender and clear his own zone. He put the puck into empty space and allowed his side to get relief from the US pressure and reset. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Lukas Pajer | Summary | There are a lot of good things in his game, but it's his one-timer that lights up a game. He plays well, skating is excellent, and made several smart choices with and without the puck. He's a player to keep an eye on as he develops over the next three or four years. Pajer looks like the type of player who cracks the NHL at 21 or 22 and people start asking about where he came from. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Wide skating stride, his return brings his feet back to beyond shoulder width at best. He's leaking power everywhere. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Good size at 6'1, 195 pounds as a D-1 | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | He goes to the front of the net any time he can. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Strong on his feet, but needs to work on his overall technique and balance. He looks like a young player going through a growth spurt. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Haven't seen him create much in his ice time, but he's working hard and putting in the effort on every shift. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | If you ever want to find McGroarty on the ice, just look to the crease. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Rutger McGroarty | Summary | An interesting young player for the 2022 draft. He has a solid frame and good speed despite not having the best skating mechanics. He goes hard to the net and as he continues to develop looks like a player who has an NHL floor. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Ryan St Louis | Note | Skates well, moves his feet, but he's not affecting play much so far. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Ryan St Louis | Note | Missed a chance to change and then spent nearly two minutes on his shift. He was dead out there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Ryan St Louis | Note | Skates well, but he's not active. There looks to be almost no urgency in his game. Follows the play instead of leading it. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Uses his leverage and balance to just totally upend the much larger Simon Marha. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Simon Marha | Note | Paying a lot of attention to positioning, going quickly and diligently to his spots. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Simon Marha | Note | Digs a puck out from in front of his net, goes up the right side, pulls up, gets planted by Behrens. Ooof. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s) | 4/29/2021 | 7/6/2021 | 10231 |
Brad Lambert | Note | Lambert is full activity every shift. Hitting, using his feet, always trying to make something positive happen for his team. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Buchelnikov | Note | Hard wrist shot from the circle goes just wide. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Buchelnikov | Note | Using physical play to create a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Buchelnikov | Note | Quality skating and speed, bordering on excellent-level mobility. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Buchelnikov | Note | Wrist shot causes trouble, then he gathers his own rebound low and tries to chip it off the goalie's back. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Buchelnikov | Summary | Interesting player that works hard at both ends of the ice. Forechecks well, uses his skating ability to create or deny chances. Feisty, with offense. I liked him. Sept 6 birthdate. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Katelevsky | Note | His feet go fast, but his body isn't going anywhere. Generating no forward power from his strides. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Katelevsky | Note | Skates completely hunched over. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Katelevsky | Note | Killing penalties | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Dmitri Katelevsky | Summary | Not a fan of his play in this game. Lackluster, skating is problematic, just seemed to bring little to the game overall. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Fyodor Svechkov | Note | Errant pass to nobody at the right point and puck goes out into center ice. Follows that with a beauty of a pass from below the goal line to the crease that should have been a goal, but saved. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Fyodor Svechkov | Note | Speed looks only average, good agility and balance though. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Fyodor Svechkov | Note | Poor choice to try a backwards, between-the-legs pass at the offensive blue line. Gave the puck away with less than five seconds in the period, and allowed the Finns a late attack. Just hold the puck there and protect the lead. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Fyodor Svechkov | Summary | Made as many mistakes as he made special plays. His speed is average but he gets to good spots on the ice. If he can clean up the mental errors and improve decision making, he could blossom. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Nice pass into space to lead his man to good drive into the zone. Smart pass. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Good lateral speed, using edges and crossovers to curl through the crease and get to the corner first. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Attempts a dangle in the high slot but leaves the puck behind. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Enters the zone, curls to the slot, wrists one easily saved. Good route to the high-danger area to create a chance. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Little give and go, rips a wrist shot low far side that beats the goalie clean. Fast release, with power. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Note | Extends his arms with the puck at his hip to change the position of the shot release, trying to use more of the defenders position to screen the release. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikita Chibrikov | Summary | Drove a lot of the Russian offense in the game for a player not named Michkov. He has an excellent shot that he works hard to utilize and disguise. Smart player in offensive zone. He's the type of player that can both create and finish chances, and he has a good sense of where to put the puck to make the most of the game situation. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikolai Makarov | Note | Positioning looks sound and he just took a great angle to make sure the puck carrier stayed outside the dots. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikolai Makarov | Note | Closes the distance to head off a potential attack and regain inside position against the rushing Finnish forward. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikolai Makarov | Note | Big, strong defender playing a ton of minutes. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Nikolai Makarov | Summary | Just a solid, stay-at-home type of minute chewing defender. His positioning was fantastic, and he showed some good speed from time to time. He's a defender that will make life miserable for forwards trying to get to scoring spots in his zone. However, his offense seems limited, so he's a guy that teams will just park at the back end to shut down top opponents and make good first passes out of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Oliver Kapanen | Note | On the forecheck, chases Svechkov instead of positioning himself to cut off the escape route, and Svechkov is able to breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Oliver Kapanen | Note | Another forechecking sequence, he's active, hounding the puck until he creates a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Oliver Kapanen | Note | Gets his stick into the passing lane and intercepts a breakout pass just outside the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Oliver Kapanen | Summary | It seemed like he was effective on every shift, not with anything fancy, just playing solid hockey in all three zones. He'll get better with experience, too. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Sami Paivarinta | Note | Coming back to support the defense, not in a hurry but calling out coverages. Stayed behind the puck carrier though, instead of pushing to catch him. Would have liked more intensity on the backcheck on that play. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Sami Paivarinta | Note | Jumps a pass at the blue line, then draws a short-handed penalty shot. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Sami Paivarinta | Note | Very good speed, but he seems to only use it on the attack. Still lacking urgency going back to his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Sami Paivarinta | Note | Good recognition to cover the left point after the defender pinches in deep. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Sami Paivarinta | Note | Tough to pin down when he has the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Sami Paivarinta | Summary | I liked everything about his game as long as he had the puck or was working in the offensive zone. On defense, he seemed like he understood what he was supposed to be doing, but didn't care a lot about doing it. If he sharpens up and develops play on the defensive side of the puck, he could become a quality second-line winger with scoring potential. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Samu Salminen | Note | Right-wing circle on the powerplay, hard one-time slap shot beat the goalie to tie the game. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Samu Salminen | Note | Tries a stretch pass, but the head man was surrounded by opposing players. Not the best choice from Salminen. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Samu Salminen | Note | Captain of the Finn U18 squad. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Samu Salminen | Note | Bats a puck out of the air waist height for his second goal of the game. Great hand/eye on that one, as the puck hit a stick and popped up right in front of him. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Samu Salminen | Summary | Offensive minded, but a quality hockey player at both ends of the ice. Showed a lot of potential in the game to become a top-six scoring forward in the NHL. I liked his stability in the game, even though he did make a few mistakes. He'll learn, and he looks like he is capable of a lot of potential development. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | 5/6/2021 | 7/5/2021 | 10230 |
Francesco Pinelli | Note | Skating looks a bit hunched and sloppy. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Francesco Pinelli | Note | Seems to struggle with his feet. Needed to get one more stride to a loose puck, but couldn't get there so he was forced to reach out to try to poke the puck instead. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Francesco Pinelli | Note | Works his way to a turnover off a bad play from the Czech goaltender, but then he just gave the puck back with a pass to a Czech player in the slot. What an excellent opportunity wasted. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Jakub Brabanec | Note | Has some quickness, but his hips look slow in pivots. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Jakub Brabanec | Note | Perfect setup pass for the one-timer by Pajer. Good weight, right in front of the back foot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Jakub Brabanec | Note | His passes have excellent touch. Just made another one that hits the receiver like he just dropped it there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Jakub Brabanec | Note | Solid agility and sharp turns. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Jakub Brabanec | Note | Winning all the races to pucks and open ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Beautiful one-timer that he got all of, and rips the puck into the net. One of the prettiest one-timers I've seen in this tournament. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Lukas Pajer | Note | Hustles down ice and beats out Zellweger to nullify an icing. He made up ground and passed Zellweger. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Mason McTavish | Note | Closes from the slot to the corner, good movement, puts a hip into his man to force an early pass. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Mason McTavish | Note | Well done to just chop pass a puck out of feet and back to the point to reset the play in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Mason McTavish | Note | Changes gears and develops additional speed hitting the offensive zone looking for a pass. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Mason McTavish | Note | Good centering pass while moving diagonally into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Olen Zellweger | Note | Spins out of pressure and turns the puck up ice and into the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Olen Zellweger | Note | Constantly scanning the ice, always head up and reading the rest of the flow. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Stanislav Svozil | Note | Has the puck in the neutral zone, and skates away from Pinelli. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Stanislav Svozil | Note | Top powerplay unit, playing high with Pajer and Brabanec on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Wyatt Johnston | Note | Receives an excellent pass from Bedard, right at the top of the crease, and buries it on his first shift. He got that away in a hurry and the goalie had no chance. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Wyatt Johnston | Note | Average straightline speed, maybe half a step faster than Pinelli | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Czech Republic (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 7/1/2021 | 10229 |
Albert Sjoberg | Note | Speed looks average. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Anton Olsson | Note | Has a powerful one-time slapshot. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Note | Carries into the offensive zone, wide base as he tries to stickhandle past a defender. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Note | Top powerplay unit, playing at the right point, sliding down to the right circle. A lot of the play going through him. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Note | Draws a penalty with his acceleration as he looked to split defenders and was tripped, but gets called for diving as well. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Note | Lysell can fly. Excellent straight-line speed. Probably the fastest player in this game. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Note | Jumps an ill-considered pass, dekes around Behrens, goes behind the net, wraparound, goal. Excellent individual sequence from the speedy winger there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Note | Hits the offensive zone with some speed, carries into the circle, ,the picks out the top farside corner with a laser wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Fabian Lysell | Summary | Fast and skilled with a high scoring drive, Lysell looks to be a high-pace scoring winger for the NHL level. Will need to clean up a bit of his defensive play, but he was by no means a liability in his own end. He is, however, all offensive instincts. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Closing speed stands out as he chases down a breakaway opportunity | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Wrist shot looks a bit deliberate. Has tried two so far, and both have hit a defender in the shinpads. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Active puckhandler. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Nice cross-ice pass from the right circle to the left point sets up a PP goal. That was a good look to find the clear path and lift the puck over sticks in the lane. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Another wrist shot blocked. He's forcing those attempts without much gusto. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Follows with an excellent pass to the far post that should have been a goal. His passes are already determined before he gets the puck, seeing the ice well. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Distributes the pucks with so much confidence, accuracy and intelligence. He just set up another attempt that should have been a goal. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Smooth skater, carries the puck so well, excellent vision and distribution, but so far lacking intensity. There doesn't appear to be much goal-scoring drive there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Uses his speed to create a break, but his lack of offensive dynamism cost him when he got to the net. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Effective on the penalty kill because of his quickness and long reach. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Fearless passer. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Note | Poor puck protection on that play, gives the puck away just inside the offensive blue line | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Isak Rosen | Summary | Good skater who is a natural playmaker. His vision and ability to get the puck to teammates are both excellent, and he reads the ice incredibly well. His usage and success on the penalty kill shows his defensive awareness is also very good. His shot is a weakness, though, and looks more like a tactic than a weapon. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Liam Gilmartin | Note | Solid hit in the neutral zone | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Liam Gilmartin | Note | Playing a physical game, used his shoulder and leverage to separate the puck the Swedish carriers, creates a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Liam Gilmartin | Note | Finds a loose puck in the high slot with plenty of time and space, but puts the puck over the top of the net. Would have liked to see him take one more step and force the goalie to make a move. However, he was likely just surprised to have everything so open all of a sudden. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Liam Gilmartin | Summary | A straightforward, physical forward with some offensive skill. He looks to be a bottom-six type of player who could develop into a decent two-way possession-type player at the higher levels. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Good acceleration off the glide | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Blocks a bomb from Olsson. Wow, that hurt. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Breaks up a pass on the penalty kill and goes quickly up ice. He has been highly effective on the penalty kill unit so far. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Lines up a hit at the blue line but misses his man entirely and the Swedes gain the offensive zone with little trouble. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Note | Good technique straight ahead, just not very explosive or fast. Changes directions well and his lateral movement is good or better. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Note | A couple of chances in the third period, but both times the puck slipped off of his stick. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Redmond Savage | Summary | Savage was mostly used in a defensive capacity here, killing all of the penalties and working hard in the defensive and neutral zones. He does have some offensive ability, but he lacks an explosiveness in his feet and in his hands that will likely limit his offensive upside as he moves up the ranks. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Rutger McGroarty | Note | Good hustle play to step into the defender's path, take him off the puck, curl to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | One timer into the side netting. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | Another one-timer, blocked in front. The shot seems a bit telegraphed. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | When he's holding the puck, he is patient and mostly picking out the right plays. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | One time slap shot that fooled the netminder. That shot actually looked much more threatening than some of the earlier big-wind-up slapshot attempts. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | Positioning is a but ragged in his own zone, but keeps his stick on the ice, in lanes, and stays attentive. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | Definitely not afraid to shoot. He likes to put pucks on net and his wrist shot is heavy. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | Gets a rebound at the edge of the crease and roofs it past the diving netminder. His career will likely be determined by how effective he can continue to be in that area of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Note | Passing is not as natural a skill as his shooting. Passes are decently accurate, but he telegraphs them a bit, and they seem secondary options instead of chance generators. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sasha Pastujov | Summary | A shoot-first player who will make his living in the homeplate area of the ice. His skating is average, but he is strong on his skates and able to maintain his position when defenders are leaning on him. He needs to develop his passing game, but his shot is quick and sharp and instinctive. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Floats a soft pass off the boards along the offensive zone blue line, easily intercepted and turned the other way. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Tries to chop a puck out of his end, but would have been better offing taking an extra step and controlling the puck instead. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Not the greatest speed. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Playing the left halfboards on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Good pinch on a loose puck, pushes past a defender and centers a pass for a dangerous chance. Good play from Behrens. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Carries through the neutral zone with determination and some good maneuverability. Not a speedster, but takes a confident route into the offensive zone with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Patient at the left point while the play in low in the right corner, but as the puck moves towards the crease, he drives down weak side for a possible rebound chance. Smart play. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Gets a puck at the blue line, dips left and gets around two Swedish players to the outside, wrists one on net. He's an elusive puck carrier. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Note | Again pushing the puck up ice. He's been one of the US's top possession players in the game. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Sean Behrens | Summary | An interesting player from the back end. He lacks a top gear, but his ability to maneuver through traffic and beat defenders despite not being super fast is impressive. He timed his attacks well, and played a smart game in transition, particularly. Still shaky in his own end (Lysell faked him out of his skates on one play), but he could become a good middle pair, transitional defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Simon Edvinsson | Note | Smooth movement with and without the puck | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Simon Edvinsson | Note | Going back behind his net to retrieve a puck, checking over his shoulder for options as he goes in for the puck, then making a safe play to seal the puck off from the forechecker and moving the puck to a teammate. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Simon Edvinsson | Note | Great read to intercept a breakout pass. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Simon Edvinsson | Note | Balance is steady, keeps well-centered above his skates. Strides are somewhat methodical, but he still shows okay speed. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Simon Edvinsson | Note | Long-legged strides cover a lot of ice with little effort necessary. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Simon Edvinsson | Summary | Another excellent Swedish defender with smooth , long limbs, and a deceptive speed. He looks almost sleepy at times because everything he does looks so effortless. Edvinsson could develop into a player that might one day be considered the best of his draft class. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
William Stromgren | Note | Gets a loose puck in the high slot, uses his body to shield while he settles the puck, then puts a strong wrist shot off the post. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s) | 5/3/2021 | 6/16/2021 | 10228 |
Braxton Whitehead | Note | Uses his edges well, has good speed, too. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Braxton Whitehead | Note | Feet are close together while taking the faceoff. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Braxton Whitehead | Note | Tries a steep-leaning turn and loses an edge. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Braxton Whitehead | Note | Curls to the slot, drags the puck in and wrists one just wide. Quick hands. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Braxton Whitehead | Note | Quick to a loose puck, then uses his speed to create a chance and draw a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Braxton Whitehead | Summary | His best attribute is his skating, showing both agility and speed. Gets to loose pucks, jumps into plays at both ends. He did not get many looks at the net in this game, but his hands looked okay. Needs seasoning. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Chase Bertholet | Note | Has the puck in his end, top of the right circle facing his goal. With two better passing choices to either defender, he chooses instead to buttonhole towards the boards and gets trapped there by a forechecker, and turns the puck over to the attackers. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Chase Bertholet | Note | Footwork needs help. He hops to get his feet in the right position for acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Chase Bertholet | Note | Lack of agility costs him on defense as he is having trouble keeping on his man. Ends up reaching a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Chase Bertholet | Note | Takes a solid hit in open ice and loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Looks so light and lively on his skates. One of those skaters who looks like he was born with skates on, | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Physically engaging with the 6'3 Owen Pederson at the top of the crease, trying to muscle the bigger player out and protect his own net. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Carrying the puck behind the net, gets a smooth lacrosse-style attempt but sticks the puck to the outside of the post. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Generates a lot of velocity on his shot, power and accuracy with a super-fast release. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Comes into the zone on the left-wing side, pulls up and passes to the right point to hit a man just entering the zone with speed. Bedard sees the whole ice so well. That wasn't the most obvious option, but it was the best one. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Rolling puck, bouncing puck, it makes no difference, he'll still get it on net with heat. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Excellent look-off pass to the left circle for an assist. Showing shot all the way in, eyes on the net, then a perfect pass for an easy goal with the netminder out high to stop Bedard. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Summary | I will never get tired of watching Bedard play. He does everything so well, and has that innate sense for the game around him. His shot has a ferocious quality to it that everyone has to respect, and then his vision and passing are just as good or better. Makes plays at speed, but also slows the game down when he needs it that way. Just a brilliant player. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Long strides with good form, he moves faster than he looks. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Uses his size to shield the puck behind the net and keep the play going despite the attempt to pin him to the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Two nice passes on that shift, the second a well-weighted saucer pass just inside the blue line that split two defenders and released Bruce to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Good positioning in his own end, reads the pass and makes a clean interception. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Looks so big out there, takes up a lot of space on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Entering the offensive zone behind the puck carrier, lifts an opponent's stick to create an open skating lane for his teammate with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | First couple of steps are weak, but it looks like they can improve with leg strength and better technique. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Solid hit in the neutral zone. Uses his size to his advantage. Good, clean check that completely disrupts the play. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Hands are good. Dips a shoulder, makes a head fake, then rolls his wrists and drops a pass back to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Note | Drives the goal line, slides a puck into the goalie's pads, then gathers the rebound and roofs it backhand from in close. Nice goal. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor Geekie | Summary | For a young player with his size (6'4, 205), he uses his body as a weapon, which many skilled young big guys either avoid or have not yet learned. Geekie's passing are excellent, but he misfired on shots a couple of times an looked a bit awkward in setting up his shot. Needs to work on his acceleration and footwork, but that looks correctible and will get better with time. I wouldn't say he is a top prospect, but he could be a good prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor McClennon | Note | Strong balance to stay on his feet while fighting for space against a bigger player. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor McClennon | Note | Gets out tight to the point on defense, taking away time from the puck holder, and takes good lines to get into the shooting lane for potential blocks. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor McClennon | Note | Excellent long diagonal pass through traffic to lead Krebs in on a partial breakaway. That was a beauty. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor McClennon | Note | Playing low left side on the powerplay. Likes to take up a spot to the goalie's right at the edge of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor McClennon | Note | Gets a goal off his shin pad at the crease from the Krebs hot pass that got deflected up into McClennon's shins. Accidental goal for him, but it was his positioning that made it possible. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Conor McClennon | Note | Good hit. He may be small, but he plays hard. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Skyler Bruce | Note | Takes a pass from Geekie, pulls up at the net, and wrists one low that deflects through the goalie's legs for the first goal of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Skyler Bruce | Note | Tries a one-timer but the pass skips between his legs. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Skyler Bruce | Note | Feeds a pass to a cutting Krebs, but the pass needed a but more zip to have gotten to Krebs cleanly and in stride. Good look, though. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Sloan Stanick | Note | Carries with speed into the zone, tries a pass to the front but leads his man too much and the puck goes into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Zachary Benson | Note | Active penalty killer. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Zachary Benson | Note | Making some questionable puck choices, often carrying or handling the puck when a simple pass would be a better option. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Zachary Benson | Note | Speedy for sure, but his game needs refinement and experience. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Zachary Benson | Note | Puck scramble at the net, and Benson is the only one who sees the puck escape to the side. He snags it and wraps around for a goal that no one else saw coming. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Winnipeg (WHL) | 4/3/2021 | 4/8/2021 | 10227 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Puck goes into the corner, and he curls to the slot. Takes a pass, wrists one hard off the goalie's mask. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Puck along the boards available for a 50/50 battle, but he chose a better play, stepped back around the defender and cut off his only lane of escape, then pinned him to the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Strong on his edges, keeps position at the front of the net with a defender pushing and leaning into him. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Takes a hit from Guhle to get the puck into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Following the flow of play in his end of the ice, but looking a bit like he's not quite up to speed yet. But when the puck goes the other way he knows exactly what to do. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Righthanded shot, drags the puck in and releases a lightning wrister between the defender's legs. Saved, but effective. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Taking defensive zone faceoffs. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | You can tell that the puck loves him. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Right half-boards on the powerplay, always on the move, hits the zone with speed. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Strong wrists, lots of heat on his wrist shot. Comes of his stick fast and with deception. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Starts in his own end, hits the blue line with speed, dekes a defender, then snaps a shot from the circle that beats the goaltender over his glove for his first WHL goal. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Steals a puck along the boards on the left side circle, pulls the puck around a player as he cuts to the slot, and then blows a shot past the goalie. That puck was in the net and the goaltender had barely begun to move. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Definitely a shooter, but he's also a good passer and moves well to make a play. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Note | Great look to pass across the slot to the man cutting to the net, but they just missed the connection. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Connor Bedard | Summary | Did not disappoint in his WHL debut. It's obvious why Bedard is playing at 15, and other than maybe Ozzy Weisblatt, he was easily the most electric player on the ice. He is impossible to handle when he has the puck, and has a range of deceptive moves and puckhandling to protect the puck and create shooting lanes. Without the puck, he is constantly engaged all over the ice, and although his defense needs some development, he wasn't shy about using his body and looked eager to contribute to defending the net. He's an excellent skater and like all aspects of his game, his skating will improve with strength and experience. Definitely the real thing. Just a fantastic hockey player. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Drew Englot | Note | Not the most agile skater, a bit slow on his stops and change of direction, loses Weisblatt who steps to the slot and scores. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Drew Englot | Note | Waving his stick as a form of defense. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Builds speed through a few strides, feet look a little jittery in small spaces. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Big kid, looks tall and solidly built. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Forces a snap shot when waiting and moving the puck was the better option. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Fishing for the puck instead of actually committing to defense. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Easton Armstrong | Note | Has the puck on a two-on-one, keeps it, fires the puck over the cross bar. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Graydon Gotaas | Note | Mobile, active in his zone. Lost an edge, recovered quickly and regained position. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Layton Feist | Note | Poor pass that caused problems in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Layton Feist | Note | Creates a chance in the high slot, but his shot was well wide on the far side. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Layton Feist | Note | Good job recovering back and putting a shoulder into the puck carrier trying to drive the net. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Logan Linklater | Note | Loses an edge and takes out the goaltender's feet. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Logan Linklater | Note | On the powerplay, low at the side of the net, takes a pass and steps forward to try a backhand shot, saved. He's been battling there at the crease for the entire shift. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Nolan Allen | Note | Tries a hit at the blue line but doesn't get enough, and Bedard slips past him. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Sloan Stanick | Note | Has tiny, pitter-patter steps, which keep his feet under him for balance but seem to limit his burst. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Sloan Stanick | Note | Overskating the play a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Sloan Stanick | Note | Average or a little better speed though the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Sloan Stanick | Note | Second-unit powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Tyson Laventure | Note | Good on his inside edges, giving him nice maneuverability at a slow glide. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Tyson Laventure | Note | He's got some speed. | Brian Fogarty | Prince Albert vs Regina (WHL) | 3/12/2021 | 3/13/2021 | 10226 |
Ashton Ferster | Note | Strong feet, well-balanced, allows him to absorb hits | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Brayden Boehm | Note | Nice turn, finds his man, and delivers a solid body check along the neutral-zone boards. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Brayden Boehm | Note | Good acceleration there. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Brayden Boehm | Note | Throwing hits all over the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Brayden Boehm | Note | Tries to drive and turn the corner, but the defender matches him and shoulders him off his turn and into t he boards. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Brayden Boehm | Note | Tracking the play, looks engaged, but he's more of an observer than a participant. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Brayden Boehm | Summary | Plays a physical game with good skating, but in this game at least, the play was generally out of his effective range of interaction. Many times he was in the middle of the zone but the play was along the boards, etc. It made it difficult to get a good read on his puck skills. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Cayden Glover | Note | Has a wide-footed turn and stance, which makes him look off balance. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Steady stride, seems to conserve some speed as necessary. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Change of direction is crisp. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | One-times a long pass that was at his back foot. He got a lot of power on that. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Aware of opportunities and finds the play quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Converts a back-door pass into an open net. Good footwork to open himself for the one-time shot. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Moves so well through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | His first step looks good, allows him to jump into spaces. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Missed a one-timer (pass close to his front foot) but I couldn't tell if he whiffed or the puck jumped on the 20th-minute ice. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Has a fluid speed. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Good hit from Guenther to knock the player off the puck in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Note | Snaps a wrist shot from the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Dylan Guenther | Summary | Definitely more of a scorer than a playmaker. Guenther has an excellent array of shots, with power and accuracy, that he uses often. His passing and vision are good, but he finishes chances far more than he creates them. He has very good straight-line speed and is agile in his turns and changes of direction. He can give and absorb hits, plays from the dots in, and will make his living beating NHL goaltenders from the left circle. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Jayden Henderson | Note | Buries the puck carrier into the boards. That was a thumping hit. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Keegan Slaney | Note | Looks small, working hard but having a difficult time getting the puck away from pressure in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Keegan Slaney | Note | Winds up for a big slapper from the right point but hits a leg in front. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Keegan Slaney | Note | Killing penalties, good stickwork in the lanes | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Keegan Slaney | Note | Very quick, and he uses that to help cover gaps. Not too fond of his puck management so far. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Keegan Slaney | Note | Gets in short-handed, winds up a slap shot. His backswing is slow to develop, giving goalies a tick of extra time to prepare for the shot. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Keegan Slaney | Note | Getting a ton of ice time in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Keegan Slaney | Note | Another questionable puck decision leads to a two-on-one against, and he's forced to chase back. His speed again helping him to recover from his mistake. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Keegan Slaney | Note | Recovers a loose puck behind his own net, then backhands it out to the slot, right to a Medicine Hat player for a good scoring chance against. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Keegan Slaney | Summary | Needs to tidy up his defensive game a lot, and improve on his decisions with the puck, but other than being just 5'9, he has good tools. He is quick, can use his feet to cover his mistakes and take away space from attackers. However, he will absolutely have to limit those mistakes or players at the next level will take full advantage and his speed won't help him nearly as much. | Brian Fogarty | Medicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL) | 3/5/2021 | 3/12/2021 | 10225 |
Brendan Brisson | Note | Tries to slip a little pass across the crease to a wide open Beecher, but the puck clips the defender's skate and bobbles out of Beecher's reach. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Brendan Brisson | Note | Driving the high slot without the puck, but the pass was too hard and into his skates. I'd like to see him adjust a bit better, but that was tough handle. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Brendan Brisson | Note | Rips a pass through traffic, but I think that it surprised Beecher, and the puck skips out into the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Cam York | Note | Keeps turning his back to the puck. He needs to get that habit out of his game, and now. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
John Beecher | Note | Looks huge out there. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
John Beecher | Note | He's fast enough to beat people to loose pucks, but he still doesn't seem to use his speed often. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
John Beecher | Note | Pulls a puck down with a high stick, which means that the puck was probably twenty feet in the air. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
John Beecher | Summary | Great size, excellent on faceoffs and when he wants to use it, he can be quite fast. However, at this point he still seems fairly one-dimensional in the offensive zone and lacks creativity and fast reaction thinking. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Kent Johnson | Note | Diving attempt to sweep the puck away from an attacking forward at the blue line | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Kent Johnson | Note | Slick, behind his back pass into an open space at the blue line, finding Beniers is stride for a clean zone entry that appeared out of nowhere. Wow. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Kent Johnson | Note | Another great play to get the puck to Beniers. He poked the puck away just inside the blue to keep zone possession, then makes a lateral pass while falling to find Beniers. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Kent Johnson | Note | Puck on a string, helps keep the play in the offensive zone, then gets a shot in close, and Beniers buries the rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Kent Johnson | Summary | Just an outstanding NCAA debut, showing patience, tenacity and super-clever passing vision. This game got out of control quickly (Michigan was up six goals before the end of the second period), so I want to see him in close combat, but he's fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Skates are not coming back underneath him on the return, instead his feet are wide set | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Beniers takes the pass from Johnson, dips inside his man to get around him, passes off and then goes hard to the front of the net, where he tips in the game's first goal and his first for Michigan. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Moves much better than he looks like he will. Smooth on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Getting time on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Just looks like he was born to play this game. So aware and at ease with and without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Works just as hard in the defensive zone as he does up ice. I really love this kid's game. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Matthew Beniers | Summary | Does everything so well, including getting deep into his own zone and playing solid defense to win back pucks. He is highly aware at all times, shows excellent anticipation with and without the puck, and is constantly looking for ways to produce and help his team. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Michael Mancinelli | Note | Decent first step as he jumps to a loose puck and beats the defender to it. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Owen Power | Note | Pivots with ease, and does so to keep square to the puck carrier | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Owen Power | Note | Backs with the puck, dragging the forechecker deeper and deeper, then flips a pass to his D partner and Michigan goes fast up the ice. Power steps around the forechecker and beats him to the neutral zone for a five-on-four attack. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Owen Power | Note | Smart choice to pull up a bit and allow the attacking forward to reach a loose puck first, which gave Power a better line and the angle to rub him off on the boards and gain puck possession. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Owen Power | Note | Continues to absorb contact in order to make a safer pass. I wonder how long it will take before these Arizona State forecheckers stop closing on him like that. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Owen Power | Note | Looking a bit lost tracking the speed of play in the defensive zone on that sequence. He was holding his spot more than playing active defense. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Owen Power | Note | Excellent pass to feed York sneaking in on the left side, who then beats the goalie five hole. Great look. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Owen Power | Summary | For a draft-year defenseman playing his first NCAA game, Powers looks composed and in control almost the entire game. There were a couple of moments of indecision, but otherwise he was on top the game, making plays with his feet, his body, and his offensive game. Nice passing, safe reads, and moves so well for such a big guy. Just an outstanding prospect and a top draft prospect for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Thomas Bordeleau | Note | Buzzing around the offensive zone (as usual), pulls the goalie way out of position but just can't quite tuck the puck in around the post. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Thomas Bordeleau | Note | Poor choice to try to one-hand a puck up the boards and push it past the opposing forward. Gift turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Thomas Bordeleau | Note | Just audacious with the puck. He's not afraid to try anything at all. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs Arizona State (NCAA) | 11/14/2020 | 11/14/2020 | 10224 |
Alexander Pashin | Note | Small, speedy player with fine first couple of steps. At a glide, he accelerates to speed in just a stride or two. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Alexander Pashin | Note | Wrist shot from the circle gets tremendous power with not much stick movement. Wrists snap and the puck is in the net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Alexander Pashin | Note | Wheels and energy, especially in the offensive end. Just started a great give and go, but his partner took too long to get the puck back to Pashin or he would have been in all alone with the goalie. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Alexander Pashin | Note | Dishes out a good hit in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Alexander Pashin | Note | Turns the corner and flicks a pass to the crease but it's broken up by the defender. High scoring drive in Pashin. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Alexander Pashin | Note | Killing penalties, gives a little shove after the whistle to try to move the Canadian player away from the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Alexander Pashin | Note | Should have moved the puck instead of trying to speed his way behind his net and up the boards. He got caught and buried and turned the puck over in his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Alexander Pashin | Summary | Pashin fits that typical small, crafty player mode that has had success in the NHL. He plays at both ends of the ice, and is willing to play a physical game despite his size. He is a player that drives play toward the offensive zone, and is capable of scoring once he gets there. He has a quality wrist shot with power and accuracy from distance. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Dmitri Zlodeyev | Note | Tied up his man a defensive-zone faceoff, and he's locked up at the crease. He stays there, keeping position well, then when the puck exits the zone he's up ice and puts a good solid hit on Weisblatt. D zone start, O zone finish. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Dmitri Zlodeyev | Note | Defensively responsible, quick to get back when he senses danger. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Dmitri Zlodeyev | Note | Got a hard wrist shot that rocketed off his stick and almost beat Garand up high from the circle. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Dmitri Zlodeyev | Note | Just not working very hard. His feet are silent a lot of the time. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Tries a shoulder fake, the defender doesn't bite, so he passes to his winger. Good choice on a play where many would try to power through the defender instead of finding the better option. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Skating is nice and compact, not much wasted movement, and the result is good speed and acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Killing penalties and his mobility is a key asset for that. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Wearing the C for Russia. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Spins away to avoid a hit. High agility on display. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Summary | A smooth skater who plays up and down the ice and looks well coached. A player who contributes something on every shift. He might not be the most talented player on the ice, but he will be among the hardest working and looks willing to do all the little things well to make his team successful. He will grind, cycle, play defense, pick out good plays. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Pavel Tyutnev | Note | Diving stick sweep gets just a piece of Foudy's shot and saves an open net goal. Excellent effort. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Pavel Tyutnev | Note | Cruises the offensive blue line looking for something to come free, and he's reading those opportunities well. This time he cuts in, tries a move and loses the puck. Regains, shoots into shinpads in front. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Pavel Tyutnev | Note | Plays defense by waving his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Pavel Tyutnev | Note | Has fast hands, good at collecting the puck, and in this case he settled it on the move, turning backward and fed Pashin at the side for a snap goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Shakir Mukhamadullin | Note | Size is impressive at 6'3, 180 pounds. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Shakir Mukhamadullin | Note | With Foudy coming in, he goes to a knee to block, and gets a piece. Looked tentative, though. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Shakir Mukhamadullin | Note | Handled the puck well there when it was in his skates. Not easy for a tall, young player. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Shakir Mukhamadullin | Note | Took a big hit in the corner, and although he got up quickly and re-engaged in the play, he seemed a bit disoriented at the net trying to catch back up to the action. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Shakir Mukhamadullin | Note | Does well to find the puck at the crease and get a clean pk clearance. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Shakir Mukhamadullin | Note | Commits early going to a knee to block off the shooting lane. He's done this a couple of times and the puck carrier just maneuvered around him taking advantage of Mukhamadullin's stationary position. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Shakir Mukhamadullin | Note | You can see the skillset, height, skating, etc., but he looks tentative and a bit lacking in his positioning and physical game around his net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Shakir Mukhamadullin | Note | Can’t handle Foudy's speed, and he gets beaten on the turn and Foudy scores. No shame in losing a skating match to Foudy, but Mukhamadullin could have leaned on him more heavily and cut him off better. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Shakir Mukhamadullin | Summary | Looks like a project defenseman that has the tools necessary to be an NHL defenseman but will need some time to fill out, get more comfortable in his own end, and get a bit of snarl into his game. After this game, he looks like a player that might be better suited to a less physical, big-ice-surface game in which he can use his feet and length. More of a puck mover than a carrier, but he does move the puck well. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019) | 8/12/2019 | 7/13/2020 | 10223 |
Charles-Antoine Dumont | Note | Agility and change of direction are very good. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | So smooth in everything he does, his stride, his composure with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | Taking the puck behind the net, fakes the back pass, drives behind the net and out and turns for a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | Feasting in the faceoff circle. Cleanly winning drop after drop. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | Fantastic display of puck handling. Uses the toe to stop the puck, pulls into his feet to avoid the poke check, then turns and shoots. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | Hard slapper while gliding backwards, a one-timer from the left circle. Rocket. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | Hands are active on the stick, loose and confident puckhandler. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | Intercepts a pass in the neutral zone, drives the left wing, around the original passer, then cuts to hard to the net along the bottom of the circle and dishes to the player with a better shooting angle. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | With the Chicoutimi goalie behind the net with the puck, Mercer swoops in, takes it cleanly away from him, and goes straight into a wraparound for an easy but stunning goal. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | Hands and vision are so great. In a board scrum, he still manages to see the open man and pick the puck out of the pile and swiftly backhand a pass to him before anyone can stop it. Sick stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | Hands are so crafty the opposing defense and goalie have a difficult time reading shot or pass. Either can come off of his stick in an instant. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | Loose puck, he collects and takes off. Lapierre tries to match him, but Mercer gains a step, and Lapierre hooks him to prevent a possible breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | His full-out mechanics are not clean. He doesn't get enough extension or power in his pushes. If he cleans that up he'll get faster at the top end. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Dawson Mercer | Summary | Simply one of my favorite players of this draft, and has been for a while. He looks lean, and his power skating needs work, but his is agile and rarely loses out on getting to the spot before his opponents. His hockey iq is ridiculous, which helps overcome the missing top gear. But it's his hands that shine when he has the puck on his stick, and he seems to see plays no one else notices. Just a fantastic player and a potential NHL superstar. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Hendrix Lapierre | Note | Conserves his energy skating, but when he needs to go, he can generate speed, and immediately. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Hendrix Lapierre | Note | In his zone, constantly checking to see where the attackers are. Head is on the proverbial swivel. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Hendrix Lapierre | Note | Matching the pace of the game without having to dig in, which allows him plenty of speed that he holds in reserve. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Hendrix Lapierre | Note | Nice shoulder check on the puck carrier changes the play. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Hendrix Lapierre | Note | Puck just inside the blue line, heavily covered by the defender, finds his man cutting into the zone with a beautiful and sneaky pass in stride. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Hendrix Lapierre | Note | Can close a two-step gap so fast, it seems to surprise puck carriers. In this case, he jumps up and the lifts the stick, takes the puck cleanly. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Hendrix Lapierre | Note | Pulls up, changes direction, kicks out a skate to stop a pass, and creates yet another turnover deep in the ozone. He's driving this Drummonville squad nuts on this shift. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Hendrix Lapierre | Note | Going end-to-end, beats Dumont with a move, then crosses in the ozone and gets clobbered with a high hit. Oooof. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Hendrix Lapierre | Note | Up the ice like a rocket to backcheck, then puts a shoulder into the jaw of the puck carrier for two minutes in the box. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Hendrix Lapierre | Note | Chips the puck around the quick Dion and then beats him to the corner and regains puck control. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Hendrix Lapierre | Summary | A great skater who works efficiently but can cover the ice when he needs to. Has a good passing touch and makes good choices with the puck. The team around him in the early part of the season was without a lot of pieces to help him, and it showed. Still, was effective on his shifts, always getting good touches, and he worked hard at both ends of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Jacob Dion | Note | Crisp first pass out of his zone. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Jacob Dion | Note | A step faster than Dufour, he's able to get in front, then shoulder him off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Jacob Dion | Note | Reads the turnover coming, and gets back into position to neutralize the attacker at the crease before he can receive the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Jacob Dion | Note | Top PP unit. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Jacob Dion | Note | Carries from behind his own net to below the goal line at the other end. Wheels and hands to weave through the neutral zone traffic with ease. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Jacob Dion | Summary | A solid young two-way defenseman who plays a sound game in his end, but uses his feet to get the puck out of the zone. He's hard to pin down in his own end, and if he can't skate the puck out, his outlet passes are safe and accurate. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Thimo Nickl | Note | Nickl shoves a puck at Mercer, who does his best to make something out of the questionable pass. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Thimo Nickl | Note | Not watching him, but hard not to notice another thoughtless pass. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Thimo Nickl | Note | Tries to stop a 2-on-1 by dropping to the ice and sliding completely out of the play on his belly. Easy goal for the Chicoutimi attacker. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Thomas Belgarde | Note | Not much ice time so far, but on that shift he was using his body, showed a little bit of pace with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
William Dufour | Note | Looks heavy on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
William Dufour | Note | Trying to take a hard backcheck line to cut off a breakaway, but just as he arrives, Charron cuts back and Dufour blows right past him, and Charron buries his shot. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
William Dufour | Note | Nice backhand pass. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
William Dufour | Note | In a foot race with Mercer, and loses badly. Mercer made up a good six feet from blue line to blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
William Dufour | Note | Really needs to work on his skating. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
William Dufour | Summary | He knows what he supposed to do on the ice, and when he doesn't need to rely on skating he is effective. Otherwise, his skating is a weakness that prevents him from fully utilizing what looks like good hockey sense and okay hands. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Xavier Simoneau | Note | Footspeed looks above average, but when trying to change gears there is not a lot there. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Xavier Simoneau | Note | Gets a pass in the high slot and gets a hard wrist shot away with a quick release. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Xavier Simoneau | Note | Killing penalties and out there on the power play. He's doing everything. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Xavier Simoneau | Note | Great read to jump into the passing lane, pick off the clearance attempt and go straight in on goal. Tries to fake the shot, but the goalie hangs tight, and gets just enough of Simonteau's shot, and the puck trickles just outside of the post. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Xavier Simoneau | Summary | Small forward with okay speed but nothing special about his skating. He plays the game well, and as a D+1 I think he's likely to get drafted in the later rounds because he seems to have progressed enough this year to make him a safer bet for some teams. He'll struggle to get a permanent spot in the NHL, I think, because he lacks that dynamic quality to his game that a 5'7 player needs in the top league in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Chicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL) | 10/19/2019 | 6/28/2020 | 10222 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Back is almost parallel to the ice as he's skating. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Turns are wide and slow, and he doesn't look crisp when needing to do a full stop and turn. Agility looking below average. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Killing penalties, would like to see better lateral movement from him. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Gets a flying chance for a one-touch at the crease but directs it just wide. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Another quick chance at the net and this time his one-touch shot again goes wide. He's getting there, but not finishing. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Tries a quick shot from below the circle and misses the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Alex Johnston | Summary | At times Johnston looks like a player who will make a difference, but then his skating or decisions fail him. His straight-ahead skating is good, but his turns are not crisp enough, which leaves him slowing on his change of direction and magnifying any poor choices he makes on angles of attack. He often missed the net even when in close, which is a shame because he kept working hard and getting into the spots on the ice where he could make an impact but his hands and feet failed him when he got there. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Brandt Clarke | Note | Tries to spin a backhand pass out to the point on the powerplay. Not a great choice, almost intercepted for a breakaway. He needed to be smarter with the puck there. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Brandt Clarke | Note | Pass from Foerster skips over his blade. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Brandt Clarke | Note | Goes fast to get back and get in position to slow a rush the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Brandt Clarke | Note | Tries to take the puck end-to-end, shows good speed and handling through the neutral zone, tries to drag around a defender but loses his feet and the puck. Odd-man rush goes the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Brandt Clarke | Note | Short, agile lateral movements. He's highly maneuverable in tight spaces. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Brandt Clarke | Note | In the offensive zone, puck on his stick, dips around a defender, closes on net, and a flick of his wrist beats the goaltender from three feet out, but he hits the post. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Brandt Clarke | Note | Standard setup has him on the left halfboards while on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Brandt Clarke | Summary | Clarke was involved in all facets of the game, including on the top powerplay unit with a lot of responsibility to work the puck on the left side, He is a skilled puckhandler and a great skater, using his power and edges effectively. Mobile and quick while changing directions, he's able to slightly shift his position efficiently when needed. He looks like a defenseman who plays behind his blue line with the sole intent of regaining possession and pushing play back into the offensive zone. A few of his choices while puckcarrying were a bit over-exuberant and risky, but in general his play was quite sound with and without the puck. He passes well and has a quick release on his shot either in close or from range. A 2021 player to watch closely. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Dominic Mufarreh | Note | Dump and chase sequence and he goes hard to the end boards to dig for the puck. Good effort, hard work against a couple of opponents. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Dominic Mufarreh | Note | First step off the faceoff has snap, then a smooth pivot to backwards and turning speed, fast to the boards to chase a puck. Smooth on his feet, like he's always on skates wherever he goes, the rink, dinner, to the movies. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Dominic Mufarreh | Note | Sees the big hit coming and sidesteps, dodging the hit completely, then turns up ice with complete possession of the puck. That's about the full definition of slippery in action. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Marc Boudreau | Note | Gets called for interference because he skated through the crease for no reason and essentially slew-footed the goaltender. Accidental? | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Marc Boudreau | Note | Pivot from the back to front looks clunky. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Marc Boudreau | Note | Long, full extensions when he drives up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Ryan Del Monte | Note | Decent speed, skates low with good knee bend, generates power then uses his edges well to maintain momentum while shifting angles. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Ryan Del Monte | Note | On the bench getting his right hand taped by the trainer. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Ryan Del Monte | Note | Chasing in his own end, getting turned around, just seems like he was struggling to find a place on that shift. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Ryan Del Monte | Note | Not fast enough for the angle he took to the puck carrier, and he can't stop him from getting through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Ryan Del Monte | Summary | Del Monte has good speed and mechanics but looked like a raw player who has not yet adapted to the speed of play in the OHL. He's a slight player at 158 pounds, but at 16 years of age, he has a lot of time ahead of him to develop. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Ryan O'Rourke | Note | Good, clean penalty-kill clear from deep in his own end to send the powerplay squad all the way back down the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Ryan O'Rourke | Note | Playing the left point on the powerplay. Like his puck movement out there. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Ryan O'Rourke | Note | Skates with his eyes up, doesn't look hurried at all, but well-composed and alert. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Ryan O'Rourke | Note | On the powerplay, he takes a puck from the left point, carries to the high slot area, then fires a pass back to the left and misses his man by four feet. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Ryan O'Rourke | Note | Hounding backcheck, he is all over the puck carrier and doing it cleanly. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Ryan O'Rourke | Summary | Makes quiet impacts on each shift. He plays the game like a high-quality defensive forward, and plays the left point on the top powerplay unit. He's all around the puck and is the type of player that the puck loves to find when he is out there. Smart, simple game that with a bit of polishing will be NHL-caliber. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | Skating hard to get back, good long strides with clean mechanics, gets his stick out in front. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | Showing excellent speed through the neutral zone, with the puck, carries in for a heavily backchecked 2-on-1, and a sprawling SDP© stick sweep knocks the puck off of his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | Deep lean on his edges allows him to drive and turn, picking up speed as he comes out of his turn. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | Coming up ice without the puck, a pass comes that is off target, and he adjusts his skating line to pick up the pass without reaching back or slowing down. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | One-timer, waiting for it, drills it wide of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | Lurking around at the top of the left circle on the powerplay, just waiting for one-timers. This one was low, but went off of a skate in front. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | Making good reads when he has the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | He works hard going after loose pucks, winning most of the races and battles. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | Excellent pass from his own blue line to the offensive blue line that surprises the defense, and the Colts get a breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | Playing a ton of minutes, and at the end of the period, he's still working hard. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | Defends by attacking the puck. He's relentless. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | Shorthanded, teammate creates a turnover and Foerster goes hard with him, pulls up at the far post. A great effort by his teammate who cuts back and then drives to the net and slips the puck to Foerster, who then pots it into an open net. I like Foerster's patience and recognition there, to set up and wait for the play to develop and trusting his teammate to get the job done. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | Awkward pass at a bad angle that comes into his skates, but he handles it perfectly. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | On the penalty kill, he comes over the boards like he has been absolutely champing to get out there. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Tyson Foerster | Summary | Another quality showing from Foerster. He stood out by his high work-rate with and without the puck, tenaciously attacking on defense and offense. He moves his feet all the time, and shows excellent skating ability that with his size at 6'1 and 183 pounds makes him a force on the ice and a difficult opponent to play against. Has a variety of shots that he will use from the top of the circles in. A quality passer who makes good choices with the puck and rarely looks selfish with the puck. He does not look like a player who will break defenses apart by himself, but he will be a key contributor to a team attack. I like his play a lot and he looks like he will become a possession-driving top six NHL forward. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Vladislav Dvurechenksy | Note | Nice look to the slot but just misses him man with the hard pass through traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Vladislav Dvurechenksy | Note | Good puck battle below the net, he's taking on two defenders and holding the puck until help can arrive. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Vladislav Dvurechenksy | Summary | Did not see much ice time in the game after Barrie fell behind the Soo quickly and their bench got incredibly short. When he was on the ice, he showed good skating and effort, working hard in all zones and moving his feet. A couple of passes looked more deliberate than natural, but in general his game looked okay especially for a big body forward playing in just his fourth OHL game. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL) | 12/19/2019 | 6/19/2020 | 10221 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Closes the gap to the puck carrier and lifts his stick just as the pass is attempted. Clean takeaway for Lundell. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Drives the puck in from the blue line, trying to turn Krebs, can't quite get all the way to the net. Good, strong move from Lundell. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Carries from the red line in, cuts to the middle at the top of the circle, then the left-shot player wrists a very hard shot, low short side. Fast release on the move. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Takes the puck from behind his own net, powers through the neutral zone avoiding Canadian stick checks, goes hard to the net and gets pulled down for a penalty. Unstoppable there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Power play, right circle, one-time slapshot but his stick breaks. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Killing penalties, and when he gets the puck his feet and power put the Canadian powerplay guys back on their heels. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Finland hits the zone with speed, Lundell going to the slot without the puck, attentive, stick ready, get the pass buts its out in front of him. He reaches out, pulls it back just slightly and snipes a filthy, off-balance wrist shot top corner. He was extended and he still got that puck away so fast and with such power that the puck was in the net as the goalie was just starting to move his glove hand. What a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Strips the puck at center ice, then slides it back behind him to a charging forward for a clean zone entry. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Forehand to backhand pass to the man cutting towards the crease along the goal line. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Draws another penalty with his feet and drive. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Opens up so that he can be ready from the right side, but the puck came too late, and his sharp-angle shot hits the side of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Shows patience with the puck, then zips another fast-release wrister on net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Getting back deep into his own zone on the penalty kill, battling for a loose puck at the crease and winning. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Showing shot, but sends a pass to the winger low and sets up an excellent chance. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Note | Competes hard on every shift. He's the type of player that when you watch him it's impossible to know what the score is by his effort level. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Anton Lundell | Summary | A great forward prospect with size and a ton of skill. He competes hard all the time, has what seems to be an insatiable scoring drive, and he is a tremendous skater. When he has the puck, defending teams pull back trying to cut down his opportunities for powering the puck to the net, but his passing and shot are so good that he can punish opponents for giving him too much space. Lundell is the type of player that will draw a lot of pressure in the NHL, because the only way to contain him is to be on top of him. So talented, and he is a special, hungry player. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Kasper Simontaival | Note | Holding his place at the front of the net despite Canadian defenders trying to move him out. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Kasper Simontaival | Note | A step slower than Daemon Hunt there, so Simontaival has to reach out and waterski a bit to try to slow the Canadian forward as he's going to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Kasper Simontaival | Note | Wrist shot hard and low, needs a pad save to keep it out of the net. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Kasper Simontaival | Note | Small (5'9) but stocky (172 pounds). | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Kasper Simontaival | Note | Playing on the left side on the top powerplay group. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Kasper Simontaival | Note | Snappy pass to the crease from behind the net for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Kasper Simontaival | Note | Stays close to the net in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Kasper Simontaival | Note | Speed is above average, and he can change speeds on the fly, but he's not going to win many footraces. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Kasper Simontaival | Note | Has the puck on the boards in the neutral zone, gets pressured, throws the puck out to center ice and the Canadian penalty killers pick it up and go the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Kasper Simontaival | Note | Tries a backhand pass off the boards, but bobbles it to Krebs who immediately takes the puck up ice. Too many sloppy puck plays from Simontaival in a tied game. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Kasper Simontaival | Note | One-timer blocked. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Kasper Simontaival | Summary | Had moments around the net where he looked good with the puck, but some of his choices away from the net were questionable, and he did not have much effect on the game outside of the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Peyton Krebs | Note | Krebs' vision and creative passing is just sensational. He's so much fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Topi Niemela | Note | Heading back to his own end as a long clear goes down to the Finnish netminder. With back pressure, Niemela takes a good angle to give the goaltender an easy target so he can move the puck safely. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Topi Niemela | Note | Making safe choices on the right side. Conservative player. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Topi Niemela | Note | Acceleration is a bit weak, both backwards and forwards. The problem looks more technical than anything having to do with his physical ability, though. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Topi Niemela | Note | Under pressure behind his net, he still finds a lane and passes out to the top of the slot and the Finns break out of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Topi Niemela | Note | Another good outlet pass through traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Topi Niemela | Note | Well-timed check to stand his man up at the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Topi Niemela | Note | Backing into his zone, calling out instructions to his forward for coverage. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Topi Niemela | Note | Good passer, which he utilizes in all situations. He's not one to hold or skate the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Topi Niemela | Summary | More of a cautious, stay-at-home defender who makes an excellent first pass. He plays a smart, controlled game in his zone, and will improve on his positioning as his skating improves. Looked poised with the puck, and made good decisions. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Veeti Miettinen | Note | Knocks a puck down with his hand at the offensive blue line, then settles the puck and fires it on net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Veeti Miettinen | Note | Forechecking angles shifting side to side as he closes on the puck, cutting down angles without losing forward momentum. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Veeti Miettinen | Note | Tries a blind clear and puts it straight into the Canadian player at the blue line. He had more time than he realized, I think. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Veeti Miettinen | Note | Fighting the puck on this shift. It just won't settle and he's chasing it through the neutral zone until he turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |
Veeti Miettinen | Note | Tries a soft pass around the defender but didn't get it through. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s) | 4/18/2019 | 4/10/2020 | 10220 |

Alex Laferriere | Note | Takes a puck away from Tuch, cuts around him, drags right to left to beat Kleven, gets buried by Slaggert. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Alex Laferriere | Note | Out on the penalty kill. Excellent backhand flip to clear the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Alex Laferriere | Note | Nearly out reads the US defender to make a fantastic takeaway, but Sanderson is there to save the day. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Alex Laferriere | Note | US trying to break it out, and Laferriere is backing out of the zone, but vigilant and looking around to check the coverage and the options, reading the potential plays, while others are just watching the puck carrier. He's a highly aware player. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Alex Laferriere | Note | He is better when he's under pressure, because then he makes smaller, simpler plays. When he has more time, he tends to try a lot and that sometimes costs him. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Alex Laferriere | Note | Keeping up with Sanderson, but just barely. And Sanderson had the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Alex Laferriere | Note | Gets out to the point to block a shot. Closed well, stayed up tight. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Alex Laferriere | Note | Showing off his speed with the puck, drives the zone, cuts to the net, starts to go behind then flicks a behind-the-back pass to try to set up his trailer, who stopped short and the play dies. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Alex Laferriere | Note | First steps are very good. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Alex Laferriere | Note | Has the puck , trying to get to the high slot, takes a solid hit from Peterson, but keeps his feet and the puck, shifts to the backhand because he got turned by the hit, slips a pass back to Anderson and sets him up perfectly for a dangerous shot from the hashmarks. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Alex Laferriere | Summary | He has the size, skating and scoring ability to be a good producing winger in the NHL, but he'll need to learn to play better within his limits. Sometimes, he's trying to do too much, and he was not particularly effective in this game. He did show some flashes of creativity and pure puck skills, but overall, with little help from his teammates, he did not show that well. I have a feeling I wasn't seeing him on his best night and the US U18s are a tough squad to battle. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Brett Berard | Note | Pushes up to beat the puck to the blue line, keeps it in the zone, backhands to the player on the boards. Fast hands. Good jump. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Brett Berard | Note | Circles around to the right side, sneaking in behind the penalty killers, handles a tough pass, sends the now-hurried shot wide. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Brett Berard | Note | Good read from the neutral zone, picks off a poor choice by Lovell, then a nasty snap shot beats the goalie low. Berard got that away in a flash. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Brett Berard | Note | Lovely cross-ice one-touch pass on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Brett Berard | Note | From the right half boards, he's running the powerplay, distributing pucks and choosing the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Brett Berard | Note | On the defensive blue line, passes to the driving forward, but puts it in his skates and the run of play turns back into his zone. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Brett Berard | Note | Chirping and chopping on the edge of the faceoff dot. Feisty. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Brett Berard | Note | Looks so comfortable with the puck. He can step, switch back, twirl, handling the puck, then make a 60-foot pass look too easy. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Brett Berard | Summary | Berard's game is poise and skill, with quality skating abilities thrown in on top. He moves the puck with authority, although he seems more of a distributor than a scorer. His skating gets him into and out of tight spots, and he looks confident that he can escape trouble whenever he needs to. Moves the puck expertly, both in technique and reads, and often finds the player who needs the puck the most. Played well in his zone, but he looked a lot better moving forward. Has a bit of bite to his game, too. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Chase Yoder | Note | Good speed through the neutral zone, calling for the puck. Gets the puck as he enters the zone, pulls up, hits Hunter Strand just inside the dot, shot almost goes in. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |

Chase Yoder | Note | Fast conversion from having the puck behind the net to a solid wraparound attempt that hit the far post. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Chase Yoder | Note | Intercepts a mishandled puck from the Des Moines player, finds Strand at the offensive blue line. Heady play. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Chase Yoder | Note | Yoder's quickness is causing problems for Des Moines | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Chase Yoder | Note | Sees a bouncing puck coming up the boards, leans back into the Des Moines player to push him back into the boards and get himself between the puck and the opponent and still seal off the wall. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Chase Yoder | Note | Third man in, trailing right down the middle, stick on the ice, but the pass never comes to him. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Chase Yoder | Note | Great backcheck, chases down a potential breakaway and steals the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Chase Yoder | Summary | Played a solid two-way game, and was disruptive in the neutral zone, getting in lanes, picking off passes, using his feet to cause problems for the Buccaneers. He set up some prime chances, and got things done, even if they didn't show on the scoreboard in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Dylan Peterson | Note | Top powerplay unit, mostly hovering around the middle of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Dylan Peterson | Note | Skating is okay as longs as he is on his edges, but just not good stride mechanics at all. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Dylan Peterson | Note | His shot is hard and fast, even on a no-windup one-touch. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Dylan Peterson | Note | Tries a redirection but sends the puck way wide of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Dylan Peterson | Note | He's a mostly vanilla player until he has the puck in the homeplate area, then he comes alive. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Dylan Peterson | Note | Bad choices off of the puck, either looking to cherry pick, or even backing out of his defensive zone hoping (seemingly) that the player with the puck will try to pass to the blue line. What was that? | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Dylan Peterson | Note | Good, long-distance pass, diagonal blue line to blue line, hits the headman perfectly. His best pass of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Dylan Peterson | Note | Another opportunity for a redirection and sends it wide. He was on the move, but that's at least three good feeds that he's missed on. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Dylan Peterson | Summary | Peterson is a big body that plays his game in the slot, but doesn't look too great away from his comfort zone. He needs to improve his power skating, and often his game seemed pedestrian. He has a good release, even though at times he struggled to get the puck on net. However, when Berard and Beniers set him up, he looked dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Logan Anderson | Note | Skating looks okay. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Logan Anderson | Note | Had Laferriere wide open far side and chose to try to jam it in instead. Too bad. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Luke Tuch | Note | Tuch with a big interference hit on Salice at the blue line. The puck was already at the circle when Tuch hit him. Ugh. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Good defensive posture in the offensive zone, then back to cover the blue line for the pinching defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | With the puck at the red line, has speed enough to split two defenders trying to close on him, who then both put their sticks on him, but he keeps at it, and gets a shot away that the goaltender fought off. Draws the penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | He has jets for days. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Takes a pass on the wall at the goal line, walks in, dangles a bit then tries to jam it far side and the goalie barely gets a stick on it. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Takes a different pass just to the left of the net and immediately puts it cross-crease on Bordeleau's tape for an open-net goal. Excellent anticipation, vision, read. This kid has offensive instincts pouring out of his ears. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Another great read, picks off the pass in the offensive zone, passes behind his back. He's creative, alert, dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Killing penalties, too. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Can change gears carrying the puck, picking up speed when needed to get past players in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Passes from behind the net to Peterson, who wasn't ready for it and the puck slides out to the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Moving from the top of the crease to the side of the net as the puck moves around the perimeter, Constantly aware, finding the best spot. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Chops down a high bouncing puck to get it flat then a fast pass out to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Blocks a shot while on penalty kill duty, then darts out to pick up the puck that rebounded off of his leg. Suddenly, he's on a short-handed attack, right side, curls in to the high slot, circles to net right, then flutters a pass back to the top of the crease that should have been converted. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Consistently making smart, creative plays and being effective on every shift. He and Thomas Bordeleau are the best players on the ice in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Skating is 2.0 or better (70+), He can get deep on his edges, cuts on command, accelerates well. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Times a drive-by in front of the netminder perfectly to set up a moving screen. Good save though. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Up 3-1 with ten minutes left in the third, he's getting down on the ice to break up what would have been a likely goal-generating pass after a turnover over deep in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | One-timer from the low left circle, off a feed from Bordeleau below the goal line. Beniers was ready for the crafty pass, and release a fast one-timer that the goalie never saw. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Ten seconds left, up by two goals, diving to try to clear a loose puck out of the zone. The heart and drive on this kid is sensational. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Matthew Beniers | Summary | Beniers is a multi-tooled top prospect for the 2021 draft. He plays with energy up and down the ice, is a creative playmaker who can rip the puck when necessary. His shot was hard and accurate and flew off his stick. He competes tremendously on every shift and made a mark on this game like no other player on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Noah Ellis | Note | Watching the puck in the corner, has to follow Yoder behind the net and then he's too far behind to try to prevent the wraparound attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Noah Ellis | Note | Powerplay duties, relying on his skating, his passes have snap but his accuracy seems a bit wanting. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Noah Ellis | Note | Top of the powerplay umbrella on the top unit. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Noah Ellis | Note | He moves with some pace, has good change of direction. His stickwork seems slow, though. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Vincent Salice | Note | Shows patience to let the pass come through him to the boards and then play the carom to get a clean lane through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Vincent Salice | Note | The waterbug zips through the neutral zone, flips a puck past Tuch, and then gets walloped. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Vincent Salice | Note | Skates quite well, but tends to skate large circles through the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Vincent Salice | Note | In a straight line, he is not fast, maybe just above average at best. He's elusive, but lacks top-end speed. | Brian Fogarty | Des Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL) | 11/15/2019 | 3/23/2020 | 10219 |
Brendan Brisson | Note | He looks like a player who really likes to use his edges, shifting, changing speeds and skating lines, dancing out there. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Brendan Brisson | Note | Quick shot off a feed from the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Brendan Brisson | Note | Cutting to the net, pass comes behind him, reaches back, receives it, continues into a 360-degree spin and at the end of it fires a pass back across the crease, and Colangelo finishes. That’s what truly nimble skating and good hands and vision can do. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Brendan Brisson | Note | Another creative feed, this time a lateral pass back between his legs. He's clever with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Brendan Brisson | Note | In a footrace with Bantle who was carrying the puck, and Brisson is matching him with not much effort. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Brendan Brisson | Summary | Brisson's game is built up from his outstanding skating ability, which allows him to outmaneuver most players on the ice against him. He can evade and turn opponents with little effort, and has the hands necessary to make plays that his feet afford him. Probably the most effective player in the game, involved in the play on nearly every shift, and willing to get his hands a bit dirty. He generally avoided physical contact, but was willing to take a hit when necessary. He looks a lot like a second-line NHL winger. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Carson Bantle | Note | Stays high in the neutral zone as the puck goes back to his end, and he's far out of the play when Chicago creates a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Carson Bantle | Note | Big, strong strides. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |

Carson Bantle | Note | Keeps launching attacks, but he just doesn't have that much help around him. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Carson Bantle | Note | He's more than willing to use a physical game to get possession or position. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Carson Bantle | Note | Nice job getting across and stick out to break up a passing lane. He didn't get the takeaway, but he forced the player into a bad pass that led to a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Carson Bantle | Note | Going hard through the neutral zone in a puck race. He's digging deep, form looks good but his kick is high and behind him. Still, he has good speed. Should improve with training. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Carson Bantle | Note | In a footrace with Brisson while carrying the puck, and Brisson matched him with not much effort. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Carson Bantle | Note | Puck is in the defensive right-wing corner, and he's on the left side, out above the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Carson Bantle | Note | Stick pokes the puck away on the forecheck, clean takeaway, steps up and wrists one, glove save. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Carson Bantle | Summary | A lot to like about his game, including his skating which seems like it will improve. He's big and strong (6'4, 201 pounds), competes hard to get the puck up ice, but he has some bad habits that need to be corrected, particularly with his propensity to float at the blue line looking to go up ice while he teammates battle for pucks in the defensive zone. He also gets his hands up high and dished out some questionable high hits on the boards. In his defense, he's playing on a bad team, and he looked a lot like a player just trying to make something happen. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Gunnarwolfe Fontaine | Note | Uses his body well to shield the puck as he makes moves. Draws a holding penalty purely because he gained better position than his opponent. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Gunnarwolfe Fontaine | Note | Gets a rebound on the right side, fakes and cuts across the crease and nets it far side. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Gunnarwolfe Fontaine | Note | Picks off a pass in his own end, jumps through the neutral zone and turns the defender with a good burst of speed, shows shot all the way, then last second passes cross crease but leads his winger too much. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Gunnarwolfe Fontaine | Note | Shifty puck handler. He can pull it side to side very quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Gunnarwolfe Fontaine | Note | Gains distance on Kirwan through the neutral zone, and has three strides on him by the offensive blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Gunnarwolfe Fontaine | Summary | Showed several times that he has quick hands and the ability to move through traffic with and without the puck. He is a fairly agile skater who, at 5'8, 174 pounds, has a solid frame that can stand up to contact, and he was willing to go to the crease and battle for his spot. Good offensive instincts, too, with a fine release and an eye for finding open space when he has the puck, sliding into shooting lanes. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Mackie Samoskevich | Note | Gets a one-timer opportunity, hits the side of the net, and without much on it. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Mackie Samoskevich | Note | Gets a drop pass in the high slot, has a chance to make a pass to an open player, but chooses to hold and go wide, then wrists a shot back across his body into the waiting goaltender. Samoskevich played himself out of options there. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Matt Coronato | Note | Ill-advised pass off the boards in the offensive zone goes far wall, easily picked up by Madison and there's a rush going to the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Matt Coronato | Note | Picks a forward's pocket at the blue line, dishes to the left, then goes to the slot, and he pots the return pass with a nice one-touch wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Matt Coronato | Note | Killing penalties, a puck leaves the zone, and his burst to go after it was eye opening. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Matt Coronato | Note | Always going. High-energy player. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Matt Coronato | Note | Crosses the blue line, shovels a backhand pass that leads his man by four feet at least. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Matt Coronato | Note | Great edge work. Pivots backwards through the neutral zone to open up for a pass, gets the puck, pivots to forward, cuts laterally to the slot, curls on his inside edges and rips a wrist shot past the netminder. Best sequence of the night for him so far. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Ryan Kirwan | Note | Moves well, but his strides look like his feet are tied together and can't move them away from each other. He has decent speed but could get a lot faster, I think. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Ryan Kirwan | Note | Short choppy steps cost him most in his acceleration. Just not any push to get going. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Ryan Kirwan | Note | Quick release wrist shot from the half boards. Handled well by the goalie. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Ryan Kirwan | Note | He goes hard, but needs to fix his stride mechanics. He's got good enough speed now, but could get better and be a more effective player. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Ryan Kirwan | Note | Gets a headman pass and a breakaway, but with two defenders closing on him, he tries a simple backhand shot in close, easily stopped. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Ryan Kirwan | Note | Shorthanded takeaway gives him a clear path to the net, drives straight at the goalie, no moves, wrist shot saved. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Sam Colangelo | Note | Second goal of the period, both from about the same spot: just inside the left circle while cutting to the net. The right-handed shot is lethal from there. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Sean Farrell | Note | Dangling and circling in the offensive zone, carries out to the blue line but held the puck a bit too long and runs out of space. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Sean Farrell | Note | Tries a wraparound, but can't complete it. However, the puck goes to Colangelo on the far side who snaps it home from just inside the left circle. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Sean Farrell | Note | Working hard in the offensive zone, with and without the puck. Not the fastest player, though. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Sean Farrell | Note | Just coasting in his zone, and then a step too late to get to a shooter. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Sean Farrell | Note | Tries to skate out of his zone gets trapped between three Madison players and coughs it up. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Sean Farrell | Note | A lot of shifts through the first two periods where he's just not making an impact at all. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Sean Farrell | Note | Curls behind the net, tries a cross-crease pass but misses the mark and the errant pass leads to a breakout the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Sean Farrell | Summary | I was not impressed with him in this game. He spent too much time cruising along the outside of the action. He went several shifts without even touching the puck, despite playing on the top line and spending a good bit of time in the offensive zone. When he did have the puck, he tended to hold it too long and work his way into trouble more than getting out of it. Maybe it was a bad game for him, but I wasn't a fan of this one. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Trey Fechko | Note | Moving up ice there was no continuity to his stride, instead he had several little hop-like steps. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Trey Fechko | Note | Lateral movement looks like a struggle when he's skating forward. Too many hitches in his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Trey Fechko | Note | He so often seems to pop up instead of driving off his back foot. It's like he bounces his up ice with every couple of strides. His skating is making me crazy. | Brian Fogarty | Chicago vs Madison (USHL) | 2/28/2020 | 3/23/2020 | 10218 |
Grant Silianoff | Note | Does well to pull a puck off the boards, but he goes to the net, he's a step or two slow and the US defenders have time to get into position. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Grant Silianoff | Note | Takes a good line to the net during a zone entry, slips behind the defender, and taps in a rebound from a far-circle wrist shot for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Grant Silianoff | Note | Above average to good speed (0.5-1.0; 55-60) | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Grant Silianoff | Note | Carries into the offensive zone on the right wing, but whiffs on the wrist shot, leaving the puck sitting up for the defender to poke clear. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Jackson Jutting | Note | Truncated strides. He's not pushing through a full extension at all. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Jake Sanderson | Note | Legs are long, and his pivot looked odd, like he was dragging one foot on the way around. Long crossovers to generate speed starting backwards skating. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Jake Sanderson | Note | Near the blue line, puck skips out of the circle, and he jumps to it, taking it behind the net, passes, then hustles back to his point. Nice burst and reaction. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Jake Sanderson | Note | Straight line, he generates power and speed, but his backwards crossovers still look a bit awkward and swing him wide. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Jake Sanderson | Note | Dives into the slot, but nothing comes to him, back out again. His acceleration allows him to activate quickly off of the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Jake Sanderson | Note | I like his movement along the blue line, showing shot, then passing to his D partner. His movement along the line is not rushed, but he is difficult for the forward to pin down and cover. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Jake Sanderson | Note | His first push is a weapon. He covers so much ice in a single step. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Jake Sanderson | Note | Passing is okay. He doesn't put much heat on them even when required, and they seem to be just a tad bit off the mark. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Jake Sanderson | Note | Tries a check, but is off his line, and he sticks out a leg. Lucky that wasn't called. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Jake Sanderson | Note | Defending what was basically a broken-play three-on-one, and he positioned himself perfectly to try to cover both passing options, and eventually intercepted a weak pass attempt. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Jake Sanderson | Note | Handles a tough pass, then puts a hard shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Jake Sanderson | Summary | His size combined with his pure skating ability, and his excellent acceleration, are easily NHL level. He reads the play well, taking good lines to find the right spots in his zone. His backward skating is good, though his crossovers take him wide at times instead of a more linear route. He manages the puck well on the powerplay, running the play from the blue line. He did not show a tendency to rush passes and chose good times to shoot instead of moving the puck. He also showed good timing on pinches and attacks, and the hustle to get back to his position instead of lingering low when there was nothing for him. I'm not convinced of his offensive upside yet, but he's a smart player whose NHL future seems all but certain, in some capacity. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Luke Tuch | Note | Gets bumped in the back and loses his footing, falling to one knee. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Luke Tuch | Note | Carries into the offensive zone on the left side, fires a shot high. Good power on that. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Luke Tuch | Note | Again knocked to the ice without much effort. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Luke Tuch | Note | Tuch has been starting shoving matches after several stoppages. He's taking some shots at Roughrider players after the whistle, sometimes deserving, sometimes not as much. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Luke Tuch | Note | Knocked down yet again. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Luke Tuch | Note | What was that? Blind back pass from just past his blue line into his own end, right to a Cedar Rapids player. Ooof. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Luke Tuch | Summary | Had little impact on this game. His skating is okay, but at 6'1 and close to 200 pounds, he needs to be much stronger on his skates to get anything done as his career move forward. He does not have the hands or feet to be a perimeter player and he did not show the muscle or stability to be effective in traffic. I know his brother is a big, power forward type, but at this point I'm not sure if Luke will develop enough to meet that standard. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Nate Hanley | Note | Half-hearted body check works, but he mostly just stepped into the skater than hit him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Nate Hanley | Note | Good display of puck handling, but he had to make those moves because his feet were not good enough to get him out of the pressure situation. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Nikolai Mayorov | Note | Keeping wide and on the fringes of the play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Nikolai Mayorov | Note | Persistent in the offensive zone. Will work on the boards, kick pucks free, battle against bigger players. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Nikolai Mayorov | Note | Tries to chip the puck around Kleven, takes a bump, can't get around to the puck to recover it. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Nikolai Mayorov | Summary | Small but sturdy players who does things well in the neutral zone and into the offensive zone. He seems to have a big scoring drive and competitive nature, but without the puck he tends to stay outside. He showed a willingness to be physical on the forecheck, and he has good hands, but he was not a very impactful player in this game. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Thomas Bordeleau | Note | Small but speedy, gets his feet really wide to use his inside edges while gliding. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Thomas Bordeleau | Note | Doing his job, waiting at the defensive-end halfboards, takes the pass and leaves if for the rushing forward. He then follows the rush as the third man in, gets to a loose puck, and wrists it into traffic looking for a deflection. The puck is deflected wide. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Thomas Bordeleau | Note | Takes a hard pass with patience and soft hands. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Thomas Bordeleau | Note | Nice pass into the slot that deserved a better result. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Thomas Bordeleau | Note | The most dangerous forward for the US in this game. He's attacking the net with speed, driving play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Thomas Bordeleau | Note | Leading a two-on-one, gliding in on the right side, looking pass, looking, then snaps a hard shot that beats the goaltender but not the crossbar. That shot was so deceptive the goaltender never moved, and so hard that the rebound nearly cleared the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Thomas Bordeleau | Note | Doing well on faceoffs, taking key defensive-zone draws on the penalty kill late in a tied game. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Thomas Bordeleau | Summary | Probably the best forward on this iteration of the USNTDP. He is a sub-5'10 player but has excellent skating abilities and could possibly grow a bit taller (his father, former NHLer Sebastian Borderleau, played at 5'11). Thomas has a good understanding of the game and fast reaction speed and vision, allowing him to make good, quick passes to the right options on the ice. He stays responsible on the defensive side of the puck, too. A good player, with offensive upside and the potential to be a top-six NHL forward, though he would likely shift to the wing at some point. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Ty Smilanic | Note | Pass is a bit behind him, but he reaches back and gathers it in, crosses the blue line, and wrists one just high and wide. Decent power. That shot was close. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Ty Smilanic | Note | Strong on his skates, working under physical pressure but not giving up his competition for the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Ty Smilanic | Note | Following the play a lot in this game, having a hard time getting into the thick of the game. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Ty Smilanic | Note | Poor giveaway in his own zone, just sloppy puck management. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Ty Smilanic | Note | Pushes a shot on net more than shooting it with any zest. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Ty Smilanic | Note | There are moments when he has the puck at speed that he looks like he is finally going to do something effective, but then he inevitably makes a poor puck choice or loses it altogether. Nothing is connecting for him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Ty Smilanic | Summary | Smilanic's defensive play is likely what will take him furthest in his pro career. He has good speed though, at time looking fast with and without the puck, but he lacked creativity and finishing ability. His passes were not always well-chosen or accurate, and his shot was not the most accurate, either. At this point he is not a first-rounder for me. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Tyler Kleven | Note | Like his c-cuts to keep his line backwards to the net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Tyler Kleven | Note | Doesn't have the same burst as Sanderson. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Tyler Kleven | Note | Wrist shot took a long time to load and release and wasn't particularly bothersome for the goalie. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Tyler Kleven | Note | Tries to slow Mayorov, but mostly misses with an arm check. Still, it was enough to disrupt the play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Tyler Kleven | Note | Shows nice hands and coordination as a hard rebound pops right to his feet. He handles it well and flips the puck out of the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Tyler Kleven | Note | With his size (6'4, 201 pounds), I'd like to see him be more of a physical presence out there, but he isn't. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Tyler Kleven | Note | Skating is solid and smooth. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Tyler Kleven | Note | There was a decent hit from Kleven, along the neutral-zone boards. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Tyler Kleven | Summary | Has a lot of the tools to become an NHL defenseman: Size, mobility, positional awareness in his zone. However, he did not show much offensive ability, often looking too deliberate with his stick either passing or shooting. On top of that, his lack of physicality, either in open ice or deep in his zone, was troublesome. In general, he struggled with timing in this game. He would be a project defenseman, with a good foundation, but will take some developing and time to become an effective pro player. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL) | 2/21/2020 | 3/17/2020 | 10217 |
Dominik Bokk | Note | Not getting many chances in this game as Canada has mostly shut down the German squad, but his release is so fast and uses so little wind up or stick movement, that he can get his shot away at any time. Such a dangerous shooter. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Jan Nijenhuis | Note | Killing penalties, keeps his feet active, stick in lanes. It looks like he might be crossing up his partner at the top of the box with his movement, but it's hard to tell if that's coaching/situational/intentional or not. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Jan Nijenhuis | Note | Taking up position right on top of the crease, shoving with Ty Smith to hold his spot, gets called for a crease violation. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Jan Nijenhuis | Note | Good penalty killer, closes gaps in a hurry, shows a lot of urgency in covering his zones, head constantly swiveling to track where everyone is. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
John Peterka | Note | Good sweep with his stick pressures the point man, who then turns the puck over to Stutzle. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
John Peterka | Note | Speed is okay, edges are good. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
John Peterka | Note | Working hard on defense, keeping his stick active, swiping at puck carriers while moving his feet, lifting sticks, keeping himself between the puck and the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
John Peterka | Note | At full stride, he's bent way over with his head out in front of his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
John Peterka | Note | Gets his stick on a puck just inside the defensive zone blue line and creates a clean breakaway. However, with increasing backside pressure from the speedy Liam Foudy, he did not have enough time to try a move, and was forced to try an on-the-fly wrist shot, easily saved. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
John Peterka | Note | Doing a lot of work in this game, but not being tremendously effective. It's a tough game for the Germans, but I'd like to see more display of skill and creativity from Peterka. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
John Peterka | Note | There was just a prime example of the difference between Reichel and Peterka, at least in this game: a loose puck sliding towards the blue line in the defensive zone, Reichel is closest to the puck, but he spins away from it trying to get ready to receive a breakout pass, and he leaves the puck in empty space at the top of the circle. Peterka, behind the puck, has to lunge forward to poke to puck up ice and try just to clear the zone. The puck is eventually controlled by the opponents, mostly because Reichel just left the puck. Lazy play from Reichel who should have been more responsible. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
John Peterka | Summary | Peterka is a sneaky-fast skater who doesn't look like he's going but then he's beating guys to the puck. He plays hard in all three zone with solid, fundamental effort. He'll keep his stick in lanes, keep oriented to the puck, and in the offensive zone he tends to stay in the high-danger area. He is unlikely to beat teams from outside the dots, but has enough size and his hands are quick enough to be able to generate offense in close in traffic. Plays a basic, pro-style game without anything overly fancy or creative. Just a blue-collar-type of player. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Lukas Reichel | Note | Acceleration is excellent, his first couple of steps take him a long way with little apparent effort. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Lukas Reichel | Note | Has the puck, falls to his knees skirmishing with the Canadian defender, but he keeps battling, gets back to his feet, keeps at it. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Lukas Reichel | Note | Staying high in his own zone instead of getting a bit deeper and being more of a part of the defense. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Lukas Reichel | Note | Looks a little sloppy in his end. Not really putting in a ton of effort on defense. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Lukas Reichel | Note | I'm getting frustrated at his seeming unwillingness to play defense. It's like the air in the defensive zone is poisonous to him. So he's reaching at pucks, waving at opponents as they pass him, and clearly looking to get out of his zone as fast as he possibly can. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Lukas Reichel | Note | Excellent agility, switches forward to backward without a hitch or losing speed. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Lukas Reichel | Summary | A speedy, offense-first player who moves very well with and without the puck. He looked quite one-dimensional in this game, playing with his eyes up ice from the opening puck drop. The Canadian defense seemed intent on making sure that the top German players were well constrained, and Reichel struggled to make anything happen. Unfortunately, because he was so inclined towards offense, he contributed nothing in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Tim Stutzle | Note | Stutzle's in-action, at-speed awareness is amazing. He reads plays so well and so quickly, and makes small adjustments to best suit circumstances. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Tim Stutzle | Note | Skating is excellent to elite. (2.0-2.5 at least, 70-75) | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Tim Stutzle | Note | Trying to clear his zone, turns away from a clogged blue line, but instead of curling back around, he whips a no-look backhand pass to Seider to start a fast breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Tim Stutzle | Note | Probably should have taken a shot there with the puck in the circle, but he chose a pass attempt to the far post that nearly connected. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Tim Stutzle | Note | A moment later he's in the same spot in the left circle, but this time he wrists a hard shot that hits Hofer in the mask. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Tim Stutzle | Note | Creative passer, with fast hands and a long reach, all of which makes it just that much harder for defenders to cover him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Tim Stutzle | Note | Could have been stronger there in trying to stop Foudy from walking in. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Tim Stutzle | Note | Puck chase to the end boards, widens his glide and lowers his shoulder to drift into the lane of the Canadian player and box him out as they arrive at the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Tim Stutzle | Note | Uses his body well, plays a smart physical game without necessarily throwing big hits. He leans on players, shoulders them out of plays, uses his strength to win battles. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Tim Stutzle | Note | He's got that ability that superstars have, to be able to be faster or slower than the game depending on what he needs at the time. It's like he can bend time and space around himself and the gravity of his skills and smarts. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Tim Stutzle | Summary | A born star player whose skills and skating are almost supplemental to his natural hockey intelligence and on-ice awareness. He seems to see everything all the time, and has the stick skills to make crisp, accurate and creative passes without hesitation. His feet get him swiftly to the right spots on the ice in any game situation. On top of that, he has a hard wrist shot that will beat quality goaltending from middle distance. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Germany (2020 WJCs) | 12/30/2019 | 2/23/2020 | 10216 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Made an opposing player literally fall to the ice. The player lunged at him, but Lafreniere just wasn't there any more, and the opponent faceplanted on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Brandon Coe | Note | Pivot looked slow because he was so wide-footed at the time. Something to watch. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Brandon Coe | Note | Floating a lot at both ends, not really getting involved in the game that much. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Brandon Coe | Note | Tries to poke a puck free while he's skating past the player holding the puck at the halfboards, but he misses and skates past him, while the puck carrier then steps away from the boards and starts an offensive zone sequence. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Connor Zary | Note | His first step is a hop, and his acceleration is slushy, but he's a good skater when he gets past those first couple of steps. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Connor Zary | Note | Tries to deke around Drysdale, but no go. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Connor Zary | Note | Two good looks from the slot, but he doesn't get the puck away quickly enough, and Gould has time to set and react. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Connor Zary | Note | What a sequence: O'Rourke drives the zone, drops to Greig, who drops to Zary, who passes across to Foerster for an open-net goal. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Connor Zary | Note | In tight at the side of the goal, does well to slip a pass to Foerster at the dot, who feeds Schneider for a nice goal from the right circle. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Connor Zary | Note | Sensational read to intercept a Perreault pass, and he flashes up ice into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Connor Zary | Note | Killing penalties in the Top Prospects game. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Donovan Sebrango | Note | Takes a big hit as he's trying to get the puck out of his zone. Didn't seem to see that coming until the last second. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Donovan Sebrango | Note | Working the right wing half boards on the powerplay, handling the job with ease, passing and jabbing and making the right decisions with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Donovan Sebrango | Note | Fires a puck to Puutio who was only a few feet away. Wow, was that pass unnecessarily hard. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Donovan Sebrango | Note | Much calmer pass that time, waiting as the forechecker closed on him, then moving the puck to the corner for a breakout. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Donovan Sebrango | Note | Showing good speed with the puck through the neutral zone. Not the most creative or dazzling player, but I like his well-rounded game. Skates well. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Donovan Sebrango | Note | Sharp blue-line wall-to-wall pass. Zip and accuracy. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Donovan Sebrango | Note | Almost the full Starfish Defensive Posture © but he actually was able to reach out and poke the puck off the attacker's stick. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Donovan Sebrango | Note | Drops the gloves after Cuyle tries a big hit, they traded blows, but ultimately just called it. Like his feistiness, but that looked more an audition. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Donovan Sebrango | Summary | Very good on his feet, generally moves the puck well and can either pass or carry it out of his zone. He looks like his top potential is more of a middle-pair, two-way type, but he does look like he has the hockey sense and footwork to make it to the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Moving so well with the puck in the offensive zone, evading pressure, finding the right play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Springs Rossi through the neutral zone with a brilliantly place board pass, getting the puck through traffic, behind the first line of defense, and right into Rossi's path. Wonderful, smart pass. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Also killing penalties. He's so fast on his edges and turns that it makes him a particularly good forechecker because he can change angles, covering different lines of attack quickly and forcing puck holders to turn back. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jacob Perreault | Note | Twice in this early shift where he coasted back toward his own zone instead of backchecking hard. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jacob Perreault | Note | Slow backhand pass to the middle is picked off by Jarvis. Not a player to turn the puck over to. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jacob Perreault | Note | Holy cats, what a pass! At the right dot while the puck is in the right corner. As Rossi works the puck out of the corner, Perreault slides backwards to the left-side circle. Rossi spots him, passes, and Perreault then one-touch passes across the grain to Quinn at the far post for an easy tip in. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jacob Perreault | Note | Another chance to see his excellent vision as he backhands a hard pass thought the slot to the far circle. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jacob Perreault | Note | Has really settled into this game. Early on he was making good reads and showing his vision, now late in the second period, he's doing the same but his reaction speed is better and his passes crisper and more accurate, and he's far more engaged in the play at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jake Neighbours | Note | Good puck mover, makes passes look immediate and simple. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jamie Drysdale | Note | Leads the rush after a turnover, carries into the offensive zone, drops it off to his left, then goes to the net without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jamie Drysdale | Note | Blast slapshot from the blue line looked like it was going to knock the goaltender over backward. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jeremie Poirier | Note | Now it's Poirier's turn to carry the puck through the neutral zone, and when he enters the zone, he takes a wrist shot, blocked, then he chases down the puck to the boards and keeps the play going. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jeremie Poirier | Note | Buzzing in the offensive zone. Fires a wrist shot from the low circle, then explodes out to the slot to lift Coe's stick and take the puck back. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jeremie Poirier | Note | Extremely calm with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jeremie Poirier | Note | Does well to handle Bourque and prevent a quality chance. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jeremie Poirier | Note | Leading the rush, eases the puck out to his right, then snaps it back one-handed and steps around Scheider for a clean look at goal. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Jeremie Poirier | Note | Never seems to be chasing the play at all. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Justin Sourdif | Note | Tries to skate the puck into the offensive zone, crosses the line but gets rubbed off on the right-wing boards. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Justin Sourdif | Note | Could have worked harder on the back check. He was the last one back into the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Justin Sourdif | Note | Another instance where he looked only mildly interested in back checking. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kaiden Guhle | Note | Throws a nice hit standing up the attacker at the blue line. Good physical contact early in the game. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kaiden Guhle | Note | Just lasered a wrist shot from above the hash marks and beats the goaltender over his right shoulder. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kaiden Guhle | Note | Tracks the fleet-footed Mercer, then positions and turns Mercer to the boards, then pins him. Guhle looks dominant against these top prospects. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kaiden Guhle | Note | He's really quick over five to ten feet. Closes gaps in an instant and can turn and go like a bolt. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kaiden Guhle | Note | Skates hard without the puck into the slot, and Jarvis hits him with a nice pass, but Guhle's shot was stopped by the netminder. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kaiden Guhle | Note | Times a pressure move into the offensive zone remarkably well and stops a breakout in its tracks. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kaiden Guhle | Note | Bodies up Byfield by digging into his chest and puts Byfield on his butt. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kaiden Guhle | Summary | Guhle was perhaps the most impactful per-square-foot player in this game, playing against some of the best his age group has on offer. In his end, he was decisive, quick to shut down opponents with his feet or his physicality. He had the skating ability to match the speed of fast forwards, and prevent them from getting on their lines of attack. He played just as hard in the neutral and offensive zone and was effective in engaging in the offense, as well. What was most impressive was his decision making and the speed with which he executed those decisions. Whether pinching, joining the attack or retreating to his own end, his choices looked nearly flawless. A top defender in this draft class that has some tremendous blueliner talent. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kasper Puutio | Note | Lateral movement and change of direction are good, allows him to switch assignments without losing contact. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kasper Puutio | Note | Covering Lafreniere fairly well, but bites on a shot fake and Lafenniere slides left into a now-open shooting lane, and the rest was easy. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kasper Puutio | Note | Throws a good check at the neutral zone boards. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kasper Puutio | Note | Can’t prevent Jarvis from turning the corner, but he is able to reach out and sweep the puck off Jarvis's stick at the last second. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kasper Puutio | Note | Reads the cross-ice pass attempt in the neutral zone and breaks it up. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kasper Puutio | Note | Uses his shoulder to drive Greig off the 50/50 chance. Smart physicality there. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kasper Puutio | Note | Not afraid to carry the puck into the offensive zone. Doesn't shine once he gets there, but he can gain the zone and look for help. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Kasper Puutio | Summary | Kind of hit and miss in the game against some elite age-group competition. He handled himself well, but made a few mistakes in his own end and a couple of times tried to do too much when he was up ice. He moves his feet, is willing to use his body to alter play in the back two-thirds. He lacks offensive creativity and looks a bit out of his depth in the offensive zone, but he is effective otherwise. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Lukas Cormier | Note | Backwards skating is smooth, he's calling out assignments, then does well to lift Jarvis's stick and then move the puck out of danger. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Lukas Cormier | Note | Shows the puck to the forechecker, then snaps it back and floats a nicely weighted pass to his defensive partner. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Lukas Cormier | Note | Good puckhandler, disguises puck movement, uses his hands to keep the puck away from pokes and slashes. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Lukas Cormier | Note | Has a lot of confidence joining the attack. That time he tried to carry between three penalty killers and coughs up the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Lukas Cormier | Note | Skating looks great with the puck, fluid, multidimensional. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Lukas Cormier | Note | He's flashy as he moves up ice, but much more responsible in his own end. Could improve on his reads a bit, of course, but he's generally solid back there. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Lukas Cormier | Note | Swoops in to grab a puck in the offensive zone, then finds Quinn open on the far side, but Quinn looked surprised by the pass and missed it. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Lukas Cormier | Note | Another excellent read, he steps up and not only stops the pass, but he one-touches it forward right on to Neighbors' stick to start a rush. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Lukas Cormier | Note | Deep in his own end, corrals the puck, ducks and changes direction to absorb a hit from the forechecker, keeps possession. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Lukas Cormier | Note | Having a bit of an adventure in his end on this shift, but he's recovering quickly and still preventing chances. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Lukas Cormier | Summary | Cormier was active and engaged throughout the entire game. His skating was stellar, and he was elusive with the puck. He had good awareness in his end, making several good reads to break up plays. He had a couple of good, hard shots from outside, and more than once changed the pace of his shot to give the net-front guys a chance for a deflection. He plays a smart game, and although he needs some polishing to smooth out some risk-taking, he looks like a certain NHL player and a potential desirable powerplay blueliner. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Luke Evangelista | Note | Goes behind the net, reverses and shakes to defender, carries out to the bottom of the circle and feathers a pass to Poirier who one-times a slapshot top corner, bar down. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Luke Evangelista | Note | Fast with the puck into the zone, but throws a weak backhand shot past the far post. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Luke Evangelista | Note | Good choice in his own zone to curl back behind the net instead of forcing something towards the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Luke Evangelista | Note | Tries to drag the puck around Schneider, but a poke check from the defender breaks it up. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Marco Rossi | Note | When Rossi has the puck, even some of the best CHL players of his draft class have a difficult time stopping or even slowing him from making the plays that he wants to make. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Mavrik Bourque | Note | Can really skate. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Mavrik Bourque | Note | Constantly on the move. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Mavrik Bourque | Note | Slick no-look backhand pass to Jarvis cutting to the crease. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Mavrik Bourque | Note | Beats Poirier to a loose puck then turns for a sharp-angle shot. Poirier angled him away from the net. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Mavrik Bourque | Note | On the left side boards, the right-handed shot does a good job turning his upper body and collecting the puck as it comes up the boards. He did that twice on the same shift. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Mavrik Bourque | Note | Left hand on his stick, he is able to pull the puck one-handed back behind him while holding off a defender with his right arm, and gets the puck back to Lafreniere. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ozzy Wiesblatt | Note | Moving through the neutral and offensive zones, eyes on his right winger with the puck, moderating his speed in order to remain in an open pocket. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ozzy Wiesblatt | Note | Just ripped two cross-ice passes through the slot on the powerplay. Both passes were hard enough to get through all of the traffic but were not quite on target. High-vision passes though. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ozzy Wiesblatt | Note | Outside-inside move beats one guy but not the second one. Nice hands, though. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ozzy Wiesblatt | Note | A half-step off of Zary's pace there, puts Wiesblatt at good to very good (1.0 to 1.5; 60-65). | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ozzy Wiesblatt | Note | Does well at speed to slide just a half-step to his left to avoid what could have been a powerful check at the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ridly Greig | Note | Smart drop to Zary with one touch. His play was the second in a beautiful four-man scoring play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ridly Greig | Note | A step or two slower than O'Rourke (who had the puck) but he pushed hard to get into position, had his head up reading the play the entire sequence. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ridly Greig | Note | Mostly quiet in this game, but he just found himself a last-second chance at the net. His anticipation got him the opportunity, but the goalie stopped him. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ridly Greig | Note | Jumps into a gap to the loose puck and fires it home. [The goal was disallowed for interference, but the read and jump by Greig was excellent]. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ridly Greig | Note | Gets a clean breakaway, but his simple attempt is easily stopped. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ryan Francis | Note | Maneuvers well, good burst to attack the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ryan Francis | Note | Killing penalties, moving and responsibly maintaining his assignments at the top of the box. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ryan Francis | Note | Hits the puck carrier at the boards and he takes his man out of the play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ryan Francis | Note | Looked a bit awkward in backwards transition there. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ryan Francis | Note | Good, simple play to clear his zone after a long shift pinned in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Ryan Francis | Note | Hard skating after a long defensive shift gets him to the front of the net and a chance. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | Picks off a Perreault pass and goes fast up the ice. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | With Rossi forechecking against him, he turns back, hesitates, then somehow flicks the puck backwards to a teammate. I watched the replay three times before I could figure out how he did that. It was almost like he left it and let Rossi skate past, but he pushed it a bit to his right, as well. Tricksy, that was. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Thimo Nickl | Note | Not seeing much out of him in this game, and he just made a horrible shift change decision that allowed a clean two-on-zero and an easy goal against. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Thimo Nickl | Note | Tries to hit Lafreniere behind the net, and gets nothing but a shadow. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Tyson Foerster | Note | Hard wrist shot catches the goalie leaning off his line, and the accurate shot beats him short side. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Vasili Ponomaryov | Note | Swings his shoulders back and forth when he's skating up ice, with both hands on his stick. Looks quite awkward and he's not getting much power through his legs. Needs to work on his skating mechanics. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Vasili Ponomaryov | Note | Quick, happy feet. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Vasili Ponomaryov | Note | Looks to pass from the neutral zone boards but there is nobody there. The puck glides deep into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Vasili Ponomaryov | Note | Skating hard on this shift. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Vasili Ponomaryov | Note | Tries to split two defenders, loses control. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Will Cuylle | Note | Throws a hit late and gets called for it. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Will Cuylle | Note | Tries a hard turn, loses his balance a little, then his acceleration looks a bit clumsy. Wasn't digging his blades into the ice. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Will Cuylle | Note | Hard, physical play on the boards in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game (CHL) | 1/16/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10215 |
Christian Krygier | Note | The twins are tall and rangy, but move well on their long, thinnish legs. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Christian Krygier | Note | Good speed and transitions on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Cole Krygier | Note | The twins are tall and rangy, but move well on their long, thinnish legs. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Cole Krygier | Note | Gets a lot of leverage on his wrist shot. Slow to release, but good power on it. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Dylan Holloway | Note | Decent speed coming up the ice with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Dylan Holloway | Note | His hands and stickwork are fast, faster than his feet seem to be, but its hard to tell because right now he's not moving his feet much. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Dylan Holloway | Note | Corals a puck while gliding through the slot, but he tries to deke one too many times and loses the puck. Not the best opening shift for Holloway. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Dylan Holloway | Note | Coming down the left side, tries to drag the puck and step right, but he loses the handle again. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Dylan Holloway | Note | Behind the net, tries to go to a lacrosse move, and loses the puck. That's at least three clean turnovers in the first twelve minutes of play. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Dylan Holloway | Note | Soft, well-elevated toss to his defenseman to avoid forecheck pressure. His hands look good when he simplifies the play. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Dylan Holloway | Note | Tries again to pull right and loses the puck. Come on. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Dylan Holloway | Note | Looks mostly disinterested in helping out in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Dylan Holloway | Note | Quick little backhand pass in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Dylan Holloway | Summary | Not a great game for Holloway. He is a quick player who excels with his feet in small areas, but lacks a true high-gear straight-line speed. His hands are fast, but too often he tried to do too much, and was unsuccessful most of those times. He needs to use his teammates more, especially on a Badgers team that is so talented. When he played a more simple game, he was much better. Also, he looked quite apathetic in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Josh Nodler | Note | Moves very well, quick, ducks his shoulder to slip underneath taller players. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Josh Nodler | Note | Great recognition that Holloway was going to try the lacrosse move, and he chopped down on the puck and knocked it away from Holloway's stick as he was lifting it. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Josh Nodler | Note | Excellent one-touch feed to the low slot for a grade A chance denied by a flashing left pad. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Owen Lindmark | Note | Killing penalties, blocks a shot, shows decent acceleration, lots of smart, contained defensive play. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Owen Lindmark | Note | Keeping his stick and feet active on the penalty kill, this time deflecting a pass and then going hard to track it out to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Owen Lindmark | Note | Lifts a stick to prevent a one-time attempt by Nodler. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Owen Lindmark | Note | Reaches out and hooks a Michigan State player who had a clear path from the corner to the crease. Not the worst penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Owen Lindmark | Note | I like his acceleration. He can close gaps and win short races to the puck most of the time. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Owen Lindmark | Note | Sharp pass from the boards to the slot, right on the tape. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Owen Lindmark | Note | Good job to get down and block a slap shot from the point. He takes good lines out to the puck in his own zone, always staying between the puck and his net. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Owen Lindmark | Summary | Smart defensive player who looks highly attuned to his responsibility and role in his own end. He has solid acceleration with good burst in his first steps, which allows him to use his awareness of play to make to correct choices and execute them quickly. He did not, however, generate offensive and looked rather constrained outside of his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Patrick Khodorenko | Note | Uses his edges to do most of his skating. His first step to two seem slow and heavy. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Patrick Khodorenko | Note | At speed, he shows good pace and power, it just takes him a while to get up to speed. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Patrick Khodorenko | Note | Just passed to no one. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Patrick Khodorenko | Note | Twice he has fallen on the same shift, at each end of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Patrick Khodorenko | Note | Top of the right circle on the powerplay, holds the puck, then tries to hit the back door but looked that pass the whole way there, and it was easily read and deflected out to the boards by Lindmark. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Patrick Khodorenko | Note | As long as he's moving, his mobility is okay as far as getting good dig on his edges, gliding to spots, staying in open spaces. When he's at a stand still, it's hard for him to get going, and he ends up just reaching for plays with his stick instead of moving to them. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Patrick Khodorenko | Note | Would like to see him get in the slot/crease area more. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Patrick Khodorenko | Note | Deep in his own end, gets a partial hip check in against the puck carrier on the end boards. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Patrick Khodorenko | Summary | There are things to like in the fourth-year senior's game. He has a sturdy frame at 6'0, 201 pounds and good offensive instincts for choosing between passing and shooting and finding open spots in the offensive zone. He has a good scoring drive, too, so he's always looking to make a play. However, his skating is below average when he's flatfooted, and that limited his effectiveness at several moments in the game. As noted, on the move he's capable of getting around the ice well on his skates, and has a fairly powerful stride at speed. I am concerned, however, that his lack of initial footspeed will be a massive limiting factor as he progresses into professional play next year. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Ryder Donovan | Note | Tries to reverse the puck in the corner, but his execution was much to slow and the defenseman sealed him off. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Ryder Donovan | Note | Skating is pretty average. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Ryder Donovan | Note | Lanky, looks awkward skating because he seems all pointy angles. Turns are okay. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan State vs Wisconsin (NCAA) | 1/27/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10214 |
Adam Kydd | Note | Spins off the boards and throws a no-look pass to no one at the slot. Oh, I how a loathe that play. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Adam Kydd | Note | First step or two are a bit sluggish. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Adam Kydd | Note | One-timer fails to connect. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Ben King | Note | Hard pass from the boards looking for the backdoor play, but Sorenson can't get his stick down to it. If Sorenson would have had his stick on the ice, that was an easy tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Ben King | Note | Swoops in to steal a drop pass and go the other way with it, beginning a partial two-on-one. Up the left side, slows as the second defender gets back, and then passes to the trailer. Smart, simple play. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Ben King | Note | At the offensive blue line while Calgary is trying to break out. A clearance attempt comes at him and he tries to kick it, misses, and a Calgary forward gets a 50/50 chance against the last man back. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Ben King | Note | Not the flashiest of puck handlers. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Ben King | Note | He has been on the ice a lot, but he's not producing or making anything happen when he's out there. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Ben King | Note | Playing low corner boards on the powerplay and the play is going through him. He's doing a good job holding and distributing, but Calgary is not pressuring him at all. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Ben King | Note | Too stationary while on the penalty kill. Just standing still at the top of the box. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Ben King | Note | Everything seems a bit too deliberate. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Ben King | Summary | There was nothing to dislike in King's game, but nothing remarkable at this stage, either. His skating is okay, a bit above average. The biggest problem I saw in this game was that he seemed to take a beat too long to execute everything he tried. It's noticeable at this level, but will become more pronounced moving forward if he can't improve his play processing speed. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Christopher Sedoff | Note | Powerplay defender at the point. Skating the puck out of his zone, his stride is smooth, crossovers while carrying the puck look seamless and efficient. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Christopher Sedoff | Note | Backpass off the boards to the trailer. Creative and interesting. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Christopher Sedoff | Note | Steps up to the puck carrier, closing the gap and taking away options. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Christopher Sedoff | Note | Good skater, fluid transitions and mobility, not afraid to skate the puck up ice. Speed gives him the time to recover after pinching in. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Christopher Sedoff | Note | One-time slapshot as he skates into the puck just over the offensive blue line. Hard shot, on net. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Christopher Sedoff | Note | Adept at handling pucks bouncing out at him at the blue line. He calmly catches them on his stick and redistributes effectively. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Christopher Sedoff | Note | Dips a shoulder and blows right past the forechecker. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Christopher Sedoff | Note | Cool under pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Christopher Sedoff | Note | A little off balance because he was leaning out too far trying lunge into the body of the puck carrier. He misses the attempt and stumbles, and the puck carrier gets around him to feed Focht in the slot for a goal. Sedoff's worst moment of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Christopher Sedoff | Summary | He was one of Red Deer's prime defenders, playing a lot of quality minutes in this game. He skates very well, is maneuverable laterally and backwards, and he gets the puck up ice either passing or skating. He'll get in the rush and his shot is good. He plays reliable positional defense and although he doesn't play a very physical game, he uses his positioning to keep attackers away from the net. Needs more development, for sure, but a decent defensive prospect who could develop an adequate two-way game for the AHL and potentially NHL level, likely on a bottom pair. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Evan Toth | Note | Pass in close to his skates and he can't find it or handle it. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Evan Toth | Note | Passes are good, maybe the best aspect of his game. Even long passes are accurate and weighted appropriately. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Jayden Grubbe | Note | Very good speed with the puck through the neutral zone, builds space by pulling away from the backchecker. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Jayden Grubbe | Note | In the slot area, facing the puck at the point, working hard on the powerplay. Keeps his feet active. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Jayden Grubbe | Note | Hustles up ice to try to win a puck. Lots of effort in Grubbe's game. Battling hard in the corner after he and defender reach the puck together. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Jayden Grubbe | Note | Top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Jayden Grubbe | Note | Saucers a pass backhand to his linemate to keep the rush alive. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Jayden Grubbe | Note | Always seems to be around the puck and involved in the play. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Jayden Grubbe | Summary | An interesting prospect who played an engaged and active game. He has good speed and agility, getting up ice quickly with and without the puck. He doesn't have the best finishing ability (as seen in his 5 goals in 43 games) he does drive the play up ice and spends a lot more time in the offensive zone than he does in the defensive zone. Given time and perhaps more confidence, he could become a good middle-pair-type prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Josh Medernach | Note | Playing in his second-ever WHL game. He has good turning and edgework, good acceleration, too. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Josh Medernach | Note | Looks fairly composed for his second Major Junior-level game. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Keaton Sorenson | Note | Ben King sends him a hard pass from the boards looking for the backdoor play, but Sorenson can't get his stick down to it. If Sorenson would have had his stick on the ice, that was an easy tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Keaton Sorenson | Note | Soft backhand saucer pass trying to reach a teammate at the red line, but the pass falls short and is turned over to Calgary. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Keaton Sorenson | Note | Tries to get the puck behind the defense with a bounce pass off the boards, but that, too, is off target. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Keaton Sorenson | Note | A step off the pace as the puck it rushed up ice by Calgary. He moves well in traffic, but his top-end speed is only good to very good. (1.0-1.5, or 60-65) | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Keaton Sorenson | Note | Intercepts a pass, hits the zone, and then skates right past his own puck. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Keaton Sorenson | Note | Clear shot from just inside the circle at the hash marks and he got little on it, and the puck just dribbles up to the goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Keaton Sorenson | Note | Goes hard to the net, draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Keaton Sorenson | Summary | Works hard, moves his feet, has agility and can carve his way through traffic, but his game seems scattered. He lacks a top-end gear making him slower than his agility makes him seem at first. He lacks consistency and looks impatient at times. He will need to slow his game down and stop rushing everything in order to become more effective. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Luke Prokop | Note | Tall, looks thin but he's not (6'4, 219 pounds is not thin). | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Luke Prokop | Note | Skates tremendously well for a young guy with his kind of height. Edges, pivots are fluid, speed is quality. Lateral moves are effortless and efficient. Good balance, too, another good trait for someone that tall. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Luke Prokop | Note | When he has the puck in his zone he's scanning the ice for options, and he typically picks out the right one and completes the breakout pass. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Luke Prokop | Note | Slapshot on net with good power. Not a booming shot but decent. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Luke Prokop | Note | Does well to get back to stop a partial breakaway and calmly pokes the puck off the attacker's stick from the side. Good, clean play. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Luke Prokop | Note | Takes a big hit to protect the puck in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Luke Prokop | Note | Big long strides cover distance with ease. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Luke Prokop | Summary | Great size at 6'4, 218 pounds, and is an excellent skater for a young player as big as he is. Plays a smart and composed defensive game in his end, and uses his size and mobility well to force plays to the boards, pin players behind the net, or with the puck, make safe plays under pressure. At this point, he does not pose much of a threat at the offensive end, despite his quality passing ability. He slings his wrist shot more than he snaps it, and his slap shot has some power but not enough to intimidate goaltenders at this point. He seems like a well-rounded player, so if the offensive develops, he could work his way onto an NHL roster. Especially with his size and skating. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Riley Fiddler-Schultz | Note | Half a step slower than Jayden Grubbe there. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Riley Fiddler-Schultz | Note | Nonchalant pass, no pressure, but puts it into Toth's skates a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Riley Fiddler-Schultz | Note | Drives the puck into the offensive zone, uses his left arm to hold off the opposing player, tries to turn to the net, but it bumped off course, so he pulls up, settles, makes a nice pass to the open man at the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Riley Fiddler-Schultz | Note | Accelerates to catch up with the puck carrier leaving the corner. Good first steps that have improved over the past year. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Riley Fiddler-Schultz | Note | Nice little movement through some slot traffic, backhands a nifty pass to the left, but Kastelic was turning the wrong way and never saw the puck. Too bad. That was a nice play by Fiddler-Schultz squandered. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Riley Fiddler-Schultz | Summary | Active at both ends, and a good penalty killer who uses his quickness to be effective in any situation. He forechecks hard, but has only above average straightline speed at best. Was not a dangerous offensive threat with the puck in this game, and he missed some opportunities to generate chances. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Uses his edges to adjust his angle, then a quick stick deflects a pass into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Very good speed, maybe even better. (1.5-2.0, or 65-70) | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Carries the puck through the neutral zone with speed, has his eyes up, but looking at the puck a good bit, too. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Established in the offensive zone, he's making good short passes through tight spaces. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | I like his stride. It's efficient and smooth without wasted movements. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Competes hard, always putting in solid effort. Follows his shot to the net for second chances. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Shoulder-to-shoulder with Ethan Sakowich (who has a couple of inches and a few pounds on him), and Tschigerl loses his feet and spills onto the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Nice hit along the boards in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Sean Tschigerl | Note | Solid power move at speed, gets around the defender and drives the front of the net. Goalie made a nice save, but that was a good move from Tschigerl. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Sean Tschigerl | Summary | Tschigerl has very good or better speed, shows decent lateral quickness and edgework with tight turns and reaction speed. Shows a tenacity at both ends that will serve him well as he eventually progresses into professional hockey. His shot in this game looked okay, but he didn't get a lot of clean chances. At this point, he seems like a player relying primarily on his skating to make an impact on the game, but he also looks like a player that could improve his offensive game as he develops and gets more ice time and quality opportunities. A potential middle-six winger with some offensive upside. | Brian Fogarty | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | 2/2/2020 | 10213 |
Brett Harrison | Note | In the slot in traffic, taking bumps and crosschecks but mostly keeping his balance. The puck lands at his feet and he puts it straight on net. Good glove stopped him but he got that shot away fast. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Taking draws in the defensive end and winning them regularly. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Does well to get a stick lift in on Pinchuk as a bouncing puck came to them, then he turns to the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Good job to hold his spot on the half-boards and keep the clearance attempt in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Killing penalties. Playing in all situations. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Breakout pass to the left wing at the red line, put it in the skates. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Chips a puck ahead of him over the blue line and charges after it, got a good bounce, ducks around the defender and draws a penalty shot. Excellent effort to make that entire sequence happen. For the penalty shot, he comes in slow, doesn't try much, then takes a wrist shot but there was just no room there. Saved by patient positioning. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Brett Harrison | Note | Back hand roof at close to full speed. Solid move, superb finish. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Brett Harrison | Summary | Plays an honest game by sticking to fundamentals of play at both ends. He will go the front of the net, stays positionally aware on defense, and is a reliable faceoff man in his own zone. On top of that, he has good to very good speed, showed decent agility, and has a high level of scoring drive and touch around the net. As he develops he should be able to refine and improve his pro-style play. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Daniel Michaud | Note | Speed is relatively similar to McKinney's. About good level at this point (1.0, or maybe a 60 on the 80-20 scale), but not a lot more at this stage. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Daniel Michaud | Note | Hands look hard sometimes when trying to take in crisp passes in they're a little off. He's stopping the puck than receiving it. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Daniel Michaud | Note | Tries to force a pass out of his zone and hit a Kingston player with it. He has time, but didn't use it. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Dawson McKinney | Note | Stellar read and a backwards, no-look, between-the-legs feed to Wright for the goal. That was an instant situational read. He never saw Wright but knew where he was. Great awareness of where the play was and where Wright was going to be. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Dawson McKinney | Note | Good extension mechanics, but he's more bent over than getting good deep knee bend and centered balance. He can get more power from his sound mechanical stride. Just a little work and he'll improve on his already above average speed. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Dawson McKinney | Note | Slower that the puck carrier, losing ground as he chases through the neutral zone, looking a good stride or two off the pace. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Francesco Arcuri | Note | Speed looks mostly average, but he's not putting in much effort so it's hard to get an early read. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Francesco Arcuri | Note | Looks very lean and tentative. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Francesco Arcuri | Note | Looking lost in his own end. He seems like he's willing to play defense, but also seems like he's having a hard time tracking the play and keeping up with the pace of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Martin Chromiak | Note | Tries a cross-ice pass through the neutral zone but puts it behind Wright, who waits to see if the puck will come to him off the carom, but it just won't connect. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Martin Chromiak | Note | When a puck kicked free out of his defensive zone, Chromiak just blew past Nico Gross and the far side defender, gets to the puck, settles it on the fly (and wow, was he flying) for a clear breakaway. His deke put the Lemiuex down, but the Oshawa netminder still managed to flail and get a piece and the puck flutters over the bar. That was a show of speed right there. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Martin Chromiak | Note | A rare bit of sloppy puck movement by Tomasino gifts Chromiak with a puck right at the crease. With almost zero time, Chromiak pulls off a spinning backhand shot attempt that was saved. It was a creative play from pure reaction. I liked it. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Martin Chromiak | Note | I want to see him go again, as he did chasing down the puck in the first period. Haven't seen that full-out skating effort since then. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Martin Chromiak | Note | Full control in his own end, tries a long diagonal pass to the far side blue line and misses, turning the puck over the defender at the red line. Something more controlled and simple there would have been a superior play. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Martin Chromiak | Note | Picks off a clearance attempt, turns inside and finds Wright wide open in the right-side circle. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Martin Chromiak | Note | This time, Wright picks off a mishandled puck on the right side and immediately passes to Chromiak rushing the net, and the Czech rips it home going to a knee to finish. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Martin Chromiak | Summary | Played the first half of the season in the top Slovakian league, and that experience was evident in his calm, professional play on the ice. He has tremendous straight line speed when he uses it, and good edgework and lateral mobility. He needs some work on accuracy of passing and some of his choices made it look like he was still adjusting to the North American game. He looks bigger on the ice than his 6'0, 183-pound listing. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Nick Wong | Note | Stride is short and choppy. He kicks high without much extension. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Nick Wong | Note | Playing defense by reaching way out with his stick and apparently hoping that it will affect play somehow. Move your feet! | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Nick Wong | Note | Has okay speed considering his choppy stride. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Nick Wong | Note | Bringing the puck in on the left side, looks to the middle then wrists one short side that went into the side netting. Good misdirection play with his head, but the shot was just barely wide. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Oliver Suni | Note | Looks wide and thick, but he has surprising speed at 6'2, 187 pounds. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Oliver Suni | Note | Careless back pass from the defensive blue line back into his zone left a puck sitting for Shane Wright, whom Suni obviously didn't see. Suni just gave the most dangerous player on the ice a free look on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Oliver Suni | Note | Suni is just not making an impact in the game. In all fairness, he recently returned from a lengthy injury absence, but I'd like to see more from him. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Oliver Suni | Note | On the top powerplay unit, playing at the net. Puck scramble and he pops it into the net. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Oliver Suni | Note | Suni again showing speed with the puck, but nothing comes of it as he drives toward the net but loses the puck on a deke attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Oliver Suni | Note | The third and final touch of a tic-tac-toe play, but a great save robbed him. Suni read that entire play well and got to the perfect spot to finish. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Oliver Suni | Note | Looks his best carrying the puck through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Oliver Suni | Summary | Has good speed and is especially effective skating the puck up ice. Several aspects of his game seemed out of sync, but considering that he had just returned from a seven-week injury, it's impossible to judge that as a trait or rust. Will need additional viewings. At times he did seem more effective, and he was often in the right place on ice. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Phillip Tomasino | Note | Not watching him this game, but the puck wizard just keeps making dazzling plays, feeding players everywhere and generating offense on every shift. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | In the slot while the puck is low at the net, and he's ducking and peaking around traffic trying to get a clean look at how the play is developing. That's a high level of engagement. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Hard lean for a fast turn at low speed as he sees a potential chance, and when Chromiak gets his the puck, he's in great position right at the crease and he gets an elevated shot away in a flash that beats the goaltender from three or four feet out. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Fast, edgy, aggressive on the forecheck. He uses his speed to gain on players from behind trying to escape. Takes good angles of forecheck attack. He looks determined to get the puck back for his team. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Backchecking hard, angles the puckcarrier away from the middle and forces him out to the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Steps into a small open space at the circle, gets a nice feed from Wisdom from behind the net, and slaps a one-touch snap shot that misses wide by maybe an inch or two. He beat the goalie clean. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | His first steps off of a slow glide are powerful and effective. He covers a lot of ice in an instant with just two or three strides. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Beginning to feel like doesn't know how to just glide because he is always driving his feet. He's fast everywhere without the puck, always on the move, always getting to the best spot on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Rocket of a wrist shot with a release so fast that he can make life hard for a goaltender, even when he's out at the top of the circle and the goalie has clear line of sight. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Tries a stretch pass from his own blue line, but it gets picked off. Wright quickly made up for it, however, by hounding the player trying to enter Wright's zone. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | He keeps his stick active, and has made several good stick checks in the game that have either disrupted opponent attacks or outright created turnovers. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | His straightline skating is almost picture perfect. Fully extended, skates come up maybe two or three inches off the ice, and fast return. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Faceoff at the right dot in the offensive zone. Wright gets booted, and lines up on the inside. Puck comes out to the point, and the defender carries the puck down deep into the corner. What does Wright do? Backs out to the point to cover the point for the attacking defender. It would have been so easy to camp out and wait for a chance to come to him from the corner, but Wright made the right choice and the smarter play. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Shakes Tomasino with a 180 move that left the agile Tomasino going the wrong way. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Puck gets tangled at his feet, kicks it to his stick as he's turning away from the defender, keeps his turn until he can pass to Chromiak in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | His first steps with the puck are explosive. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Wrists one from above the slot and breaks the goaltender's mask. Goaltender feeling his jaw after that. A wrist shot. From distance. Wow. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Off the feed from Chromiak, at the circle just inside the dot, goalie squared up and ready, and Wright just blows it past the netminder with a wrist shot over the glove hand. The puck was in the net before the goalie moved his glove. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Dumps the puck carrier with a good, clean hit. What can this kid not do perfectly? And as I wrote that note, he blocked a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Winning faceoffs fairly consistently. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Note | Tries a 270-degree spinning one-timer from the left circle that misses the far side wide by six inches or so. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Shane Wright | Summary | There is not enough space in a simple summary to describe how good a player Wright is just a month into his 16th year. He plays fast, hard and skillfully. He already has a pro build at 6'0 and 187 pounds, and aside from Tomasino, was easily the best player on the ice. Sure to be the #1 pick of the 2022 draft. He just has all the tools and the work rate, game awareness and pace to be a superstar NHL player. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Quick with good first few steps. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Sees his defenseman go in deep, so he covers the right point. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Gets the puck behind the net, head up looking for options, tries a pass out to the point but misses his man and sends the puck all the back deep into his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | I like his attention on the defensive side. He chooses safety over charging up ice, anticipates the defensive need before reaching for offensive risks. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Pivots are so fast and seamless. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Enters the zone and drops a pass to Tomasino, then does well to get to the net without the puck, keep his stick on the ice, and make a target for Tomasino. Of course, Tomasino hits his tape with a brilliant deke-tuck-saucer pass and Tullio gets an easy tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Tries a sharp-angle shot from the goal line. Not a great choice as his team had good possession deep in the Kingston zone, and Tullio's high-risk shot ended up going to the far boards, and made an easy clearance for Oshawa. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | One-times a shot from the top of the circle, and misses the short side by three feet. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Tries a sequence of moves to get around the defender, but the defenseman didn't bite and Tullio ends up in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | One-time attempt, this one low on net, but he didn't get everything on it and gave the netminder just enough time to get a across and make a fine save. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Makes a pass from his knees to start a great sequence leading to a chance by Suni. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Playing regularly with Tomasino is going to make Tullio a much better player, I think. At the worst, his stats will improve, that's for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Converts another gorgeous Tomasino pass. If Tullio goes to the net with his stick on the ice, Tomasino will find it and hit it. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Note | Tullio repays Tomasino for all the great passes by returning the favor. Going behind the net, turns his hips without changing direction and passes back against the grain to Tomasino at the bottom of the circle. No chance for the goaltender on that one. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Ty Tullio | Summary | Playing with pace and a lot of skill, Tullio was taking full advantage of playing with a linemate as skilled as Tomasino. Tullio pays attention to the details of the game, keeping his stick on the ice and getting to open spots, making good reads in all three zones, and showed creativity in the offensive zone with nice passing plays. He does a lot without trying to do too much, a simple, yet high-paced game that cuts out risk while still pushing the play up ice. His shot was good, although from further out he showed some inaccuracy in his shot. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Vitali Pinchuk | Note | Early shifts he looks a bit cumbersome on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Vitali Pinchuk | Note | Decent mobility with the puck through the neutral zone, keeping the puck wide and pumping his outside skate, but as he hits the zone and tries to power through a couple of opposing players, he loses the puck and turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Vitali Pinchuk | Note | Again tries to power his way through against two or three opponents as he enters the zone, and again loses the puck. He's not trying to cut through so much as he is trying to bull his way through. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Vitali Pinchuk | Note | Standing around a little too much in the defensive zone, watching the play a little too much. Spectating. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Vitali Pinchuk | Note | Just not fast enough. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Vitali Pinchuk | Note | Telegraphs a cross-ice offensive zone pass on the powerplay and the puck gets batted out of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Vitali Pinchuk | Note | One-timer from the right side. Got a lot on it, and the glove save looked spectacular, but I think the puck was going into the side netting. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Vitali Pinchuk | Note | I've lost count of how many times he's tried to bulldoze through several players entering the offensive zone and has lost the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Vitali Pinchuk | Summary | Pinchuk plays a north-south style, but too often his straightforward play had him trying to take on two or three defenders at a time instead of looking for teammates or waiting for other options to develop. He moves okay, but between the single-mindedness of his attacks and his sometimes deliberate and obvious movements, his hockey iq appears questionable. He has time to polish that, but right now it seems his physical tools exceed his mental game. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Zayde Wisdom | Note | Skating looks smooth, his pivots are clean. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Zayde Wisdom | Note | Holding the puck behind the Oshawa net, fends off a defender with a turnaround move, then finds Wright in front. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Zayde Wisdom | Note | Second time in the first period where he's lost the handle a bit, but this time he regains control and drops an pass for a chance. He needs to get cleaner on his stick skills, but he's a high-possession player with vision. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Zayde Wisdom | Note | With the puck on the far side boards, he lost track of his defensive weak-side responsibilities and lets the defender pinch in behind him all alone and score an easy goal after Neumann passed to him off the boards. The defender was all the way to the low circle before Wisdom even looked back to check on him. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Zayde Wisdom | Note | He'll bang. Finishes his checks well. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Zayde Wisdom | Note | Wright makes a good pass to him but Wisdom just didn't anticipate it, and the puck was past him before he realized it. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Zayde Wisdom | Note | Has some time and lets a wrist shot fly at the short-side top corner from behind a screen. Goalie got his glove on it. Wisdom did well to pick out the spot, and showed a quick release with accuracy to hit that spot, but he could have used just a little more heat on it. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Zayde Wisdom | Note | Hard, hard work on a rush, battling the defender, and he is able to turn the corner just enough to sweep the puck to Chromiak at the crease, who then gets robbed by a sprawling save. Wisdom's best play of the game so far. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Zayde Wisdom | Note | On the rush, has the puck on the right wing side with Wright on his left and Chromiak trailing. Wisdom passes back to Chromiak at the high slot, but puts it way behind him and the pucks goes out to the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Zayde Wisdom | Note | Another instance in his defensive zone where he's watching the puck instead of monitoring his defensive responsibilities. Allows Suni to get behind him and create a good scoring chance. Wisdom with his back to the most dangerous part of the play. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Zayde Wisdom | Summary | Just looks raw in his play. Has very good skating ability, and his puckhandling is good, but often at speed his hands had a difficult time keeping up with his feet. When he slows down, he looks more controlled and capable with the puck. His defensive play needs work, however, as too many times he missed assignments in his own end (a couple of prime examples noted above). He does not shy away from contact, and in fact looked good in puck battles or keeping puck possession under pressure. He could develop into a nice middle-six player who will end his shifts in the offensive zone and be effective in a cycle game. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
Alexander Mirzabalayev | Note | Truly lacks acceleration, like he's trying to skate in mud. Once he's going, he's okay, with nice edges in gliding, average speed. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Alexander Mirzabalayev | Note | Breaking out, shovels a pass but nearly falls over trying to avoid a hit. Would rather have seem him bear down just a bit more and take the hit to make a cleaner pass. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Alexander Mirzabalayev | Note | Tries to lift a short saucer pass to the slot but leads his man too much and the puck goes harmlessly into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Alexandre Doucet | Note | A couple of sluggish steps, looks half-hearted in the defensive zone as he reaches out for pucks instead of moving his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Alexandre Doucet | Note | Lacks agility and the ability to dig into turns or cut laterally. All of his turns are long and slow. Edgework needs a lot of development. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Alexandre Doucet | Note | Puck watching in the neutral zone and Fillion shakes him cleanly. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Alexandre Doucet | Note | Patient with the puck, drifting toward the net, holding, trying to get the defender to commit. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Cole Cormier | Note | Goes after a puck in the deep offensive zone, lifts the defender's stick and gains control. Then, from below the goal line, tosses the puck into the goalie's feet, off a skate and in. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Cole Cormier | Note | Playing low on the right-side circle on the powerplay, and the low man finds him for a hard one-timer that took a great save to keep out of the net. Cormier got everything on that. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Cole Cormier | Note | Same shift, but out a little higher near the top of the right circle, rips a slapshot about six inches off of the ice, hard on net. Forward in front tried to deflect but missed the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Cole Cormier | Note | Buzzing on the powerplay, moving with and without the puck. Takes one behind the net and saucers the puck to the circle, but Aleksei Sergeev mistimes it and the puck skips past his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Cole Cormier | Note | Quality work at the top of the penalty kill box. Active, pestering the puck, closing lanes. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Cole Cormier | Note | Carries the puck with good speed and enters the zone cleanly on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Cole Cormier | Note | Finishes a tremendous feed from Malatesta. Pots it into the open net one-timed. Great hustle to be there and be ready on the fly. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Cole Cormier | Note | Drives to the net without the puck yet again, this time drawing a tripping penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Cole Cormier | Summary | Smaller forward with skill and skating ability, but not spectacular at any one thing. A well-rounded player who can help his team in all zones. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Darien Kielb | Note | He's slow trying to chase down another shorthanded breakaway. He just can't keep up at all, despite the obviously intense amount of effort he's putting into it. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Darien Kielb | Note | Playing the point on the powerplay. Moves the puck okay enough, but nothing looks sharp about his game, and his inability to get back fast enough to prevent shorthanded chances makes him a liability back there. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Darien Kielb | Note | This time, instead of giving up yet another clean shorthanded breakaway, he actually just dove and tackled the charging forward before he could get to the puck. Yikes. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Edouard Cournoyer | Note | Intercepts at his crease and hands off and joins the breakout, but the forward trying to skate out of the zone heads into traffic, and Courneyer wisely backed off into a more cautious defensive position, and was in the right spot when the puck was indeed turned over. Smart read. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Edouard Cournoyer | Note | Physical on the boards, hard work to win the puck, then accelerates after passing to the blue line and starting a rush. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Edouard Cournoyer | Note | Tries to settle a puck with his foot, but can't quite get control and Mirzabalayev, takes it away from him. But Cournoyer works to get back and take away the slot option. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Edouard Cournoyer | Note | Not great speed, but mobile enough in small areas to allow him to gain position in the defensive zone. He's a pass first defender, but he'll try to push up ice when he can. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Edouard Cournoyer | Note | Takes a while to get his wrist shot away because he leans so heavily into his stick, but once its away, the pucks flies off his stick with good power. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Jacob Melanson | Note | Goes to the net without the puck, almost pokes the puck in during a goal-mouth scramble, then circles back and levels the puckcarrier trying to skate clear of the zone. It was a hard hit called for a boarding, but I didn't think that was a good call. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Jacob Melanson | Note | takes a solid hit and gets up slowly. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Jacob Melanson | Note | Good work to cover his net front after the Center extended coverage out near the blue line. Smart read in his own zone, responsible play. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Jacob Melanson | Note | Battling at the goal crease, scrapping for a loose puck. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Jacob Melanson | Note | He's done a good job absorbing hits without showing much ill effect. He bounces back quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Playing top circle right side, pucks comes to him from the opposite corner faceoff and he lets a one-timer go, simple glove save as the goalie was well-positioned. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Lacks agility and the ability to dig into turns or cut laterally. All of his turns are long and slow. Edgework needs a lot of development. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Okay start from a standstill, but he's not getting a huge burst. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Works on the puck carrier deep in the right corner, and as the opponent tries to spin away and turn up ice, Malatesta picks his pocket and turns for a backhand attempt on goal. Not a lot on it, but it was hard to determine if that was a shot or an attempt to pass to his teammate cutting to the front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Pushes a bouncing puck forward, races the defender to it, and as the puck pings off the half-boards, Malatesta one-times a fast-release snap shot on net. He can get a shot away from anywhere under any condition. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Improved leg strength will help his skating, both in short and open spaces. He's got speed and is a smooth skater, and his mechanics look good, just not fully matured yet. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | He'll take up a spot in front of the net on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Lateral/backward crossovers get him from the top of the circle to the slot in a hurry. Nice skating. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Throws a hit in the corner while on the powerplay. Solid jolt against a much bigger defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Has missed on a few passes. He is seeing the play, just not quite connecting. A little behind, and little in front. Needs to iron that out. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Great effort from near the red line to chase a puck that was racing into the offensive zone. He again beat a defender to the puck, and as soon as his reached it (near the goal line) he swept the puck back to Cormier coming down the right wing, who finishes. Malatesta caught up to the puck and didn't bother trying to settle it, just passed it behind and to his right at full speed. Excellent play. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Shows good hands in tight to snap at a goal mouth puck and almost gets it below the goaltender's pads. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Doesn’t cheat the game to get up ice. He's unselfish about protecting his zone. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Tries to tuck a back pass to Cormier off of the cycle, but misses him by three feet. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | He's got such a feel for the game. He just jumped to a spot where the puck squeaked out and he tucks it backhand into the open net. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Note | Hands and a super-high scoring drive. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
James Malatesta | Summary | Any interesting scoring forward prospect who seems to want to get the puck in the net on every shift, and wants more when he gets one. His shot is much more accurate than his passing, which he will absolutely need to improve upon. He plays a smart, highly attentive game, and his hockey sense is great. I liked his willingness to get physical and go to the difficult areas despite being just 16 years old and 5'9. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Jeremie Biakabutuka | Note | Speed is average. Just doesn't seem to push or power his stride at all. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Jeremie Biakabutuka | Note | Backwards skating looks labored and lacks agility or quickness. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Jeremie Biakabutuka | Note | Gets beaten completely by Sergeyev who isn't particularly fast or crafty, but one simple fake and cut inside and Biakabutuka was turned inside out. He was clearly playing the puck and not the man. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Jeremie Biakabutuka | Note | Blue line draw comes to him, a little pressure and he awkwardly retreats behind his own net. Additional offside pressure joins and he looks panicked and gives the puck away. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Jeremie Biakabutuka | Note | Breakout, takes the puck at the blue line and skates it to the redline, then dumps it in so hard that it rims all the way around and allows Quebec to make an easy breakout of their own. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Justin Robidas | Note | Small player, decent maneuverability but his top speed looks only above average. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Justin Robidas | Note | Killing penalties, and twice turned the wrong way, showing his back to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Justin Robidas | Note | Not a fan of his straight-line speed. He moves okay with the puck, but he's only an above average skater from what I've seen so far. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Justin Robidas | Note | On the powerplay in the slot, tries to deflect a shot but gets too much of it and knocks it down in front of him. He immediately grabbed the puck, spun and fired it over the goaltender's blocker for a goal. Caught the goalie by surprise shooting off of the spin. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Justin Robidas | Note | Killing a penalty, picks off a bobbling puck at his blue line and creates a clean breakaway. Gains a stride on Mavrick Gauthier, fakes, goes backhand-forehand as he hits the brakes, and slips the puck past the flailing netminder. That was a good move to fool the goaltender completely. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Justin Robidas | Note | Good on his edges at speed, which helps him slide in and out of spaces. His first couple of steps are just okay, and his top speed is good, but its in between where he looks best on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Justin Robidas | Note | Good check into the boards rubs out the puck carrier. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Justin Robidas | Note | Five-on-three powerplay, and he's low on the left side of the net. All of the danger is starting on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Justin Robidas | Summary | A chippy, smaller forward that is effective in all three zones. He plays hard, competes hard, and has good hands and feet. He's just 5'7 now, but his father Stephane played at 5'11, 190 and put in 900+ NHL games. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Mavrick Gauthier | Note | Seems like he takes it personally when opponents try to take up residence at the top of the crease. Physical, choppy, intent on clearing that space. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
William Provost | Note | Stays almost straight upright during his first several steps, and only gets low after several strides. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
William Provost | Note | Takes a shot off of the faceoff. A ton of stick flex, but hit the goaltender in the chest. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
William Provost | Note | On the very next faceoff, tries the exact same shot from the faceoff, but the defender reads it and just takes the puck off of his stick and skates away. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
William Provost | Note | In a puck battle behind his own net, loses the battle and the puck, but his teammate throws a hit and creates a turnover. Provost then takes a couple of slow steps up ice while his team breaks out. No urgency at all. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Xavier Fillion | Note | Gets a wrist shot away with not much power behind it. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Xavier Fillion | Note | Tosses a mostly blind pass to the crease that looked like he was hoping to find someone there. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Xavier Fillion | Note | Simple fake leaves Doucet grasping for straws. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Xavier Fillion | Note | Follows Melanson's drive to the net, and when Melanson looses the handle in traffic, Fillion picks up the loose puck and snaps it past the goaltender to tie the game with just under four minutes left. | Brian Fogarty | Val-D'Or vs Quebec | 1/10/2020 | 1/15/2020 | 10211 |
Bastian Guggenheim | Note | Looks lean, but he uses his body well and just made a nice hit in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Bastian Guggenheim | Note | Penalty kill duties, but he had drifted out a little too high and Voronkov gets a clean look from the crease for a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Bastian Guggenheim | Note | Positions himself well, rides a player away from the crease/far post. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Bastian Guggenheim | Note | Gets called for a trip on Voronkov, but that was a clear dive/fall from the big Russian. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Ivan Morozov | Note | Gerts a loose puck and drives to the net, but a Swiss defender cuts across the crease and gets a stick out to dissuade the shot. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Ivan Morozov | Note | Skating is good, his straightline speed looks above average, but not excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Ivan Morozov | Note | Setting up in the slot on the powerplay. He looks comfortable taking the puck into high-traffic areas. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Ivan Morozov | Note | Fast turn with the puck, passes, shoves his way back to the front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Ivan Morozov | Note | Jumps to get a loose puck, then digs a heel and edges left. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Ivan Morozov | Summary | Not the most creative forward, but unafraid. He's a north/south player who will get to the greasy, hard-fought spots on the ice and be effective when he's there. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Maxim Sorkin | Note | Tries the power turn to the net, but can't beat the defender to get a clean look. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Maxim Sorkin | Note | Throws a puck from the half boards to no one at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Simon Knak | Note | Bad pass off the boards in his own end. It should have been a pressure-relieving clearance pass, but instead his just pushed it towards the blue line and gave up a two-on-one against. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Simon Knak | Note | Blocks a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Simon Knak | Note | Can tighten up his mechanics a bit. They are okay, but can be better. Still fairly fast, though. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Simon Knak | Note | Trailing the rush, gets a one-timer opportunity that he rifles on net, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Simon Knak | Note | Big circles around the slot as a defending technique on that shift. Down 3-1 in the third, I can see why he wants to get up ice, but he needs to be more settled there. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Simon Knak | Note | Needs more intensity in his game. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Simon Knak | Summary | Looks thinner than he's listed at 6'1, 190 and perhaps that is due in part to his minimally physical game. There a good parts of his game--he has good speed and skating abilities, handles the puck well, etc.--but his overall play does lack intensity and there was not a lot of offense on display in this game, albeit against a stingy Russian defense. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Valentin Nussbaumer | Note | Floating a bit in his own zone looking for a place to defend instead of being settled in position. Chasing the puck a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Valentin Nussbaumer | Note | He's quick on his feet, and uses that on the penalty kill. He looked better on the pk than his earlier defensive shift. Sound positioning. Active but controlled. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Valentin Nussbaumer | Note | Puck on his stick on the powerplay, recognizes that he has plenty of room, walks the puck in from the blue line, wrist shot wide. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Valentin Nussbaumer | Note | Confident and capable with the puck. He's having a hard time cracking the Russian defense, but he's trying hard. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Valentin Nussbaumer | Note | Top speed is good, but his acceleration, edges and agility are excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Valentin Nussbaumer | Note | Does lots of little things well, and he battles hard. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Valentin Nussbaumer | Note | Wouldn't be surprised if he finishes this game with 25+ minutes of ice time. [Ed Note: Nussbaumer was officially listed as having 24:28 of ice time in the game]. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Valentin Nussbaumer | Note | His competitiveness pegs the needle. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Valentin Nussbaumer | Summary | Easily Switzerland's best skater in this game. Nussbaumer plays hard in all three zones, has very good agility and quickness, tries to get the puck to the net, and showed an adequate shot release that could use more accuracy. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Yegor Sokolov | Note | Huge body, not an overly coordinated skater. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Yegor Sokolov | Note | In a straight line, his strides are short. He gets his feet back quickly, but there's no extended push at all. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Yegor Sokolov | Summary | Did not show much in the game other than his massive frame (6'4, 240). His skating is below average both in speed and mobility, he shows little to no offensive creativity beyond getting his body to the front of the net, and defensively he was just average. | Brian Fogarty | Switzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020) | 1/2/2020 | 1/9/2020 | 10210 |
Alexander Holtz | Note | Puck in his own end, and as the defenseman is readying to exit, Holtz is moving laterally in protect against a Slovakian forechecker charging in, then he accelerates and activates as the puck does. Smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Alexander Holtz | Note | Everything looks effortless for him: skating, handling. Never out of control. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Alexander Holtz | Note | Has such a big wrist shot, he can score from the boards with that thing. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Alexander Holtz | Note | Always has his stick on the ice, ready to receive a pass, providing easy targets for his teammate with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Alexander Holtz | Note | Carries the puck into the zone with speed, but the puck rolls off the toe of his stick as he tries to make a move. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Alexander Holtz | Note | His shot is lethal. Another wrist shot, this one from the top of the circle, just whipped it top corner far side. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Jonatan Berggren | Note | Working on the second powerplay unit, takes up a command and control spot below the goal line and is running the play from there. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Marko Stacha | Note | Unexpected poke check breaks up a pass. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Marko Stacha | Note | Gives Hoglander a bump and easily clears him from the front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Martin Fasko-Rudas | Note | Attentive to defense when the puck is in his area. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Martin Fasko-Rudas | Note | Albin Eriksson gets a breakaway and Fasko-Rudas gains about a half-step on him while chasing him down. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Nils Hoglander | Note | Good vision to find Fagemo in the slot, and a better pass to give him a chance to convert. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Nils Hoglander | Note | First shift on the game, and he's already beavertailed his stick twice. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Nils Hoglander | Note | Fission quick, but he's easily knocked around if there's any contact. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Nils Hoglander | Note | Down beside the net on the powerplay, biding his time. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Nils Hoglander | Note | His choices with the puck and unhesitating. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Nils Hoglander | Note | He's a loaded spring just waiting for the puck to trigger him. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Nils Hoglander | Note | Tries a no-look pass backwards between his legs while facing the half-boards, but it doesn't connect and is cleared. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Nils Hoglander | Note | Tries a backhand shovel pass and puts it into the skates. The king of high-risk plays. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Samuel Knazko | Note | At even strength, he's paying attention and quick to get back when Sweden gets puck control. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Samuel Knazko | Note | Good speed, probably very good. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Samuel Knazko | Note | On the ice a lot. He's getting a ton of minutes. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020) | 12/31/2019 | 1/1/2020 | 10209 |
Aatu Raty | Note | Killing penalties despite being the team's youngest player. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Aatu Raty | Note | Killing a penalty, gets up ice with the puck, mishandles, stays on it, mishandles, stays on it and then he has a chance on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Aatu Raty | Note | Good interception on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Andrei Buyalski | Note | Long, thin legs. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Andrei Buyalski | Note | Playing the right side on the top powerplay squad. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Andrei Buyalski | Note | Penalty killing center. He's a decent skater, good closing speed. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Andrei Buyalski | Note | Skating is very good or maybe better, | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Andrei Buyalski | Note | Another moment of nice footwork. He is a player that looks completely comfortable among the speedy Finnish team. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Andrei Buyalski | Note | Then he buries a snipe from the circle. That was a shot. Sent the water bottle to the boards. Took his time, found a gap, lasered it. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Andrei Buyalski | Note | Shoots at will because he carries the puck at speed, uses his edges to create space, and typically hits the zone with little help. He's been the most interesting player of the period. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Andrei Buyalski | Note | Needs to get stronger and add some weight. He's a beanpole. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Ansar Shaikhmeddenov | Note | Big, long strides with full extension and push. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Eemil Erholtz | Note | Killing penalties, gets a nice lead pass and a breakaway. Tries a backhand deke but the goalie stays with him. Erholtz looks gassed after, though. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Matias Maccelli | Note | Slippery with the puck, very good first two steps, mercurial movement. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Matias Maccelli | Note | Constant motion. He only knows attack, apparently. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Matias Maccelli | Note | Gets his shot away with a fast, hard release. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Matias Maccelli | Note | Pulls up and fires a pass though the slot right on the tape. He should be awarded an assist for that pass even though his teammate missed the net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Maxim Musorov | Note | Tries to stickhandle through three Finns and go in alone, but that was a failing proposition from the start. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Patrik Puistola | Note | Wide stance, with a shoulder wobble as he skates. Speed seems okay though, smooth crossovers make his turning acceleration better than straight first steps. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Patrik Puistola | Note | Working through the circle, slot and to the crease on the powerplay. Stick in position, easily converts the Tanus pass. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Patrik Puistola | Note | A net-front player, which limits the damage his sub-par skating can do to his offensive effectiveness. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Stanislav Alexandrov | Note | Speed looks just okay. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Stanislav Alexandrov | Note | Looked quick there, and showed some nice agility hopping around a stopped player. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Stanislav Alexandrov | Note | Horrible pass three feet behind him, but he's able to spin and collect, and then avoids what would have been a heavy check. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Stanislav Alexandrov | Note | Looks good curling through the neutral zone. Puckhandling is good, hits the zone with speed, but the attack fizzles from lack of support and creativity. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Stanislav Alexandrov | Note | Misses on a cross-ice pass. Good choice, done with urgency, but off target by a good bit. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020) | 12/29/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10208 |
Adam Raska | Note | Nice movement, sharp stop to square up to block a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Adam Raska | Note | Forward stride is leaking power. His top-end speed is maybe above average. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Adam Raska | Note | Floating in the defensive zone, watching the play behind the net but not getting involved until the puck gets rimmed around. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Adam Raska | Note | Gets a steal, enters the offensive zone with one defender to beat, and just whiffs completely on the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Adam Raska | Note | Goes to the net and draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Adam Raska | Note | With the puck, battling the defender, holding him and keeping his feet moving. I like him better playing that time of game. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Adam Raska | Note | He's willing to get physical and bang along the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Adam Raska | Note | Another hit. He'll make you pay to hold the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Adam Raska | Summary | The best part of his game was his physical play, which was thoughtful and affective on the forecheck. He didn't thrill on offense, and his skating needs work. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Jenik | Note | Just rifled a disguised wrist shot that missed by a puck's length. His shot is electric. Even made Ferraro gasp. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Mysak | Note | Gets up to speed in a hurry, and his top speed looks tremendous. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Mysak | Note | Change of direction looks a little difficult, and his first step from a stop is heavy-footed, but he can fly on the move. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Mysak | Note | Good backcheck sequence where he used his speed to close, then stick check the carrier and force him outside. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Mysak | Note | Works hard, good lunch-pail type who is always on the job. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Mysak | Note | Corrals a puck that is behind him while he's already turning up ice, gets control, flies up the right side, and at the top of the circle, let's go a wrist shot that beats Askarov clean over his glove hand. That was a full 200-foot shift with a big reward at the end. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Mysak | Note | Killing a penalty, not as assertive as I'd like to see, more just waving his stick and looking on. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Mysak | Note | Another opportunity to see him accelerate from a glide, and he zooms past everyone. He's an excellent skater. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Mysak | Note | Backwards skating as the Russians come up ice, then a change of direction, moving up and left to attack the puck carrier. Mobility is very good. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Mysak | Note | Top powerplay unit. Draws a penalty by hitting the zone with speed. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Mysak | Note | Five-on-three, working the right circle, sends a pass to the blue line that misses by two meters. Worst play I've seen from him in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Mysak | Note | Powerplay one-timer he fans on, then gets a second chance and sends it wide. In between, he wristed one hard on net after sliding to the slot, but couldn't drag Askarov out of position. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jan Mysak | Summary | There was so much to like about Mysak's game. He is fast, assertive, and agile on his feet when he's on the attack, and his defensive zone play was okay. He generates offense when he's on the ice, but needs some polish. Watch out for this kid, though. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jaromir Pytlik | Note | Moves well laterally and turns smooth circles. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jaromir Pytlik | Note | Top penalty kill unit for the Czechs | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jaromir Pytlik | Note | Moves pretty well. Has good jump. A little too upright perhaps, but he'll win a lot of footraces. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jaromir Pytlik | Note | Want him to improve his straightline speed. As mentioned before, a little too upright, a little too out of sync. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Jaromir Pytlik | Note | He can get low and dig in when he really wants to motor. Doesn't do it that much, though. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Not speedy by any means, but his big strides get him up ice, and he will improve, I think. Shows good balance and quickness. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Nice backhand pass to the point. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | He is a clever puck mover, making small precise passes to open up offensive space and lanes. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | On the powerplay, he's trying to direct teammates to things he sees but they apparently don't; board pass here, give and go there. Not looking frustrated, just eager. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Seriously looks one step ahead on thought processing. It's why his passes are so flickering. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Keeps working to drive play up into the offensive zone. He's not cheating the play, but driving positive possession. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Spinning no-look pass to the tape of his cutting linemate, who bobbles it in the slot. Nice pass. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Soft pass to set up Morozov for a one-timer. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | There he rips a hard pass across ice to the far side winger. Marchenko is a good, accurate passer with vision and the understanding of how to weight them. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Kirill Marchenko | Summary | There he rips a hard pass across ice to the far side winger. Marchenko is a good, accurate passer with vision and the understanding of how to weight them. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Maxim Groshev | Note | Not getting much ice time as the Russian coach has shortened the bench. Here, he was engaged neutral zone play. Skating looks like it needs some work. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Maxim Groshev | Note | Generates good speed through the neutral zone, gains the offensive zone, passes it into an opponent's skates. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Nikita Rtishchev | Note | Frenetic first step off of the faceoff, then throws a hit on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Nikita Rtishchev | Note | His feet are miles apart during acceleration. His feet come back to about shoulder width, at best. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Nikita Rtishchev | Note | End of the first period, haven't seen much of him, but now the game is tied and he's back on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Nikita Rtishchev | Note | Putting his body into lanes to block shots. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Nikita Rtishchev | Note | Skating is awkward, jerky in a way. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Nikita Rtishchev | Note | Seems to spend a lot of time bouncing off of players, hitting but not making an impact. He makes contact, then has to rebalance, and the play has passed him by. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Nikita Rtishchev | Note | Off to the box for roughing, giving the Czechs a 5-on-3 powerplay in a tied game. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Nikita Rtishchev | Note | Choppy strides that look like Top Chef blades out there. Also leads to his lack of impact. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Nikita Rtishchev | Summary | Rtishchev's biggest drawback is his skating, which detracts from his ability to affect the play around him. In a scrum, he loses balance on impact, and in open space he lacks the acceleration or speed to take advantage of extra time. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Otakar Sik | Note | Tremendous burst of speed up ice going after a long, dumped puck. Low, centered, exceptionally fast. Impressive. Didn't do anything when he got there, but the getting there was exciting. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Pavel Dorofeyev | Note | Like his turns with the puck on his stick, decisive and clean. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Pavel Dorofeyev | Note | Fast-handed attempt on a rebound, but Dostal saved it. Dorofeyev is getting to the difficult places and making it work when he's there. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Pavel Dorofeyev | Note | On the powerplay, moves the puck to the boards when a point pass might have been better, and the play fizzles out. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Pavel Dorofeyev | Note | Same shift, goes to the slot, just wandering a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Pavel Dorofeyev | Note | Gets the puck with a wide-open net and pushes it wide. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Pavel Dorofeyev | Note | Again has a decent opportunity in tight, and his backhand misses. He handles the puck so much better than he shoots. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Pavel Dorofeyev | Note | Just doesn't have any urgency at all. Waiting for the puck. Waiting. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Pavel Dorofeyev | Note | Waterskiing because he can't catch up. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Pavel Dorofeyev | Note | Another time when his puckhandling looks good, but his shot looks lacking. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Pavel Dorofeyev | Summary | He can handle the puck and make fantastic reads and passes in tight spaces, but at least in this game, that ability did not translate to his shooting. He looks like he tries to pass it into the net rather than unleashing hard shots. His skating is mostly average. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Radek Kucerik | Note | Gets called for a roughing for a post-whistle shoulder bump on Romanov. Not a good play in the first action I've seen from him in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Radek Kucerik | Note | Sweeping, active stick, his head is on a swivel, and he uses good edgework to slide into shooting lanes and eliminate options. Good positional work. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Radek Kucerik | Note | Makes a bad, easily tipped away pass, but then makes up for it with an interception of his own, and deft move, and skates it clear of his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Radek Kucerik | Note | Tries a poke check to prevent the Russian player from exiting the zone. Moderately successful in stopping him, but the puck bounces to another Russian and Kucerik is left scrambling to get back. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Radek Kucerik | Note | Decent speed, above average skating. Sturdy at 6'2, 198 pounds. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Radek Kucerik | Note | Holds the puck too long in his own end, and Nikita Alexandrov strips him for a chance on goal against. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Radek Kucerik | Note | Just got pulled apart by a Voronkov in and out move that put Kucerik right on the ice. Ooof. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Radek Kucerik | Summary | Good size, steady on his feet, plays with intent, but his hockey sense is questionable at times. He made several thoughtless mistakes in the game. Perhaps it was nerves, perhaps more. Will continue to monitor going into the 2021 draft, but at this point I don't expect much. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Yegor Sokolov | Note | That hit on Lauko was just dirty. That sort of direct knee to knee hit from the side can end careers. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020) | 12/26/2019 | 12/30/2019 | 10207 |
Akil Thomas | Note | Can pivot front to back without losing any speed | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Akil Thomas | Note | Russia trying to set up their offense, Thomas is in the middle, directing players to set up the defense. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Akil Thomas | Note | One-time snapshot through the legs of the defender that almost beats the goalie five hole. Deceptive and fast. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Tremendous effort on the backcheck, skating all the way back from the offensive goal line. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Danil Savunov | Note | Also incredibly fast. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Jamie Drysdale | Note | Lightning fast, long push, great technique. He might be the best pure skater of the 2020 class. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Jamie Drysdale | Note | Second PK unit. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Jamie Drysdale | Note | Telegraphed a D to D pass that Amirov anticipates and intercepts | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Jamie Drysdale | Note | Able to chase all the way back to the net on a good angle, and hits the crease at the same time as Amirov. Doesn't prevent the shot, but he hampered it a bit. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | In a puck battle in his defensive corner, taking on two Russians and is able to eventually win the puck. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Intercepts a high pass with his hand, drops and taps forward to Tomasino for an attacking play. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Rodion Amirov | Note | Intercepts at the blue line and rockets down the ice for a breakaway chance. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Ty Dellandrea | Note | Very good speed, and willing to take the body and make a hit on the forecheck, | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Ty Dellandrea | Note | Plays a good positional defensive game. Pinning his man, trying up in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Ty Dellandrea | Note | Top penalty killing unit for the OHL team. Active stick, creates a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Ty Dellandrea | Note | Skating the puck out, fires a perfect cross-ice pass to the far boards connecting with the left winger. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Vasili Podkolzin | Note | Can generate so much speed and power through the neutral zone with the puck, and can still fake and deke around defenders. He's a beast one-on-one with almost anybody. | Brian Fogarty | OHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019) | 11/7/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10206 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Picks up a puck, gains speed through the neutral zone, tries to work through three opponents as he enters the offensive zone and he loses the puck into the side boards. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Gets a gift puck all alone in the slot, closes, handles and shoots, gets his own rebound on the move, cuts behind the net and scores on the wraparound. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Changes gears when he needs to, has good control of his skating speed and angles. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Perfetti's hands are all over his stick, choking up, reaching out. Soft, fluid hands that allows him handle and move the puck in tight spaces. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | On the powerplay, slowly stickhandling though the neutral zone and almost lulls the defenders to sleep. Sharp pass at the blue line and suddenly he's behind the forwards and has the puck back. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Snappy release using the defender as a screen, and nearly beats the netminder. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | He can command the game when the puck is on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Perfetti is constantly in and out of traffic without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Seems to feel zero pressure when he has the puck, despite the number of opponents bearing down on him. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Cole Perfetti | Summary | Perfetti is a player who is noticeable on practically every shift. His skating is so smooth and lively, and he plays a smart game in all three zones, but he sparkles when he has the puck, and his team makes sure that the play is always going through him somehow. He is an excellent puck handler who draws opponents to him and makes the smart play, never forcing either a shot or a pass. If he doesn't have a clear option, he can skate his way into one. Even without the puck, he is looking for opportunities. A top prospect, no question. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Damien Giroux | Note | Tries a long diagonal blue-line-to-blue-line pass, but the puck was skipping when it arrived and the receiver couldn't handle it. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Damien Giroux | Note | Tries a one-timer in close but he didn't get all of it, and although it wasn't simple for the goalie, it was a fairly straightforward save. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Damien Giroux | Note | He'll hit, and crosscheck, too. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Damien Giroux | Note | Crisp pass cross ice through the neutral zone, this time hitting his man in stride. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Damien Giroux | Note | Loses an edge on a hard turn and goes sprawling. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Damien Giroux | Note | Good competitiveness and hard effort to try to keep or win pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Damien Giroux | Note | In a good shooting spot, but when he gets the puck, he misses wide. He needed to hit the net there, because he had a lot of rebound help in front. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Damien Giroux | Summary | The fifth-round pick of the Minnesota Wild from the 2018 draft is on the small side at 5'10, 185, but he's not afraid to mix it up a bit and get his body into the game. He's a two-year captain for the Spirit, and its easy to see why in the way he plays. He's always working hard, battling for puck possession. He is not a prolific scorer, however, despite his decent stick skills. He missed the net too many times and some of his passes were off target. Skating is above average. At this point, it's hard to call him a projectable NHLer, but he could still make a nice professional career for himself in the AHL with a chance at the NHL if he can push hard on the development curve. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Davis Codd | Note | Fast, good technique and stride power. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Davis Codd | Note | Small and quick, hardworking player at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Davis Codd | Note | Might be the fastest skater in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Davis Codd | Note | Drives the net on the left side, right-handed shot shows backhand, forehand, backhand, top shelf but the netminder gets a shoulder on it and pushes it just over the bar. Fast, fast hands there. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Davis Codd | Summary | Barely sixteen years old (born August 2003), Codd is a fast, dynamic skater who brings energy and a good amount of puck skills to the ice. He's listed at 5'9, 163 pounds, with some room to grow and polish his skills. His hard work and high level of competitiveness will help him going forward. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Dylan Robinson | Note | Big, stunner hit that separates puck from carrier. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Dylan Robinson | Note | Takes the hit to make sure he gets the puck to the right player. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Dylan Robinson | Note | Late in the period, in the offensive zone, keeping alert at the left point, and as the puck gets closer to the net, he gets closer himself. Puck hops to the slot, he jumps up, swivels his hips to shield the puck from a Saginaw player, and with that extra second is able to backhand the puck on net. Then he's immediately back out to his post at the blue line, checking the clock. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Dylan Robinson | Note | Pinches into the corner, helps his team keep possession, then backs out to this spot again. As he does that, he waves his Center back towards the play down low. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Dylan Robinson | Note | Good, simple zone clearance. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Dylan Robinson | Summary | Robinson is a steady, heady defender who plays a shrewd positional game in his own end. Up ice, he stays responsible, but looks willing to pinch in and get involved in the offense if it doesn't involve too much risk. This is his first full-time OHL season even though he is a 2020 draft-eligible player. Despite his relative inexperience, he plays a lot of minutes on the blue line, with good hockey iq and a potential NHL career in the future. It will be interesting to see how his draft stock goes. He has the look now of a player who could be a late round pick or a player who gets passed by this season, but really stands out next year. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Smooth-looking backward skating, but crossing over a bit more when c-cuts would be better there. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Holds his position, doesn't buy the Foudy fake, and good physical play knocks Foudy off the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Hard pass from behind his own net out to the half boards starts the breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Got a puck in his corner, faked left then shoveled the puck to the right and into a crowd. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Turns look a bit slow. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Skates a puck through center ice, enters the zone against everyone, fires a wrist shot low that the goalie blocks into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Killing penalties, bottles the puck into the corner and eats seconds off of the clock. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Decent first couple of steps from a standstill, when he needs it. But, he is standing still a bit too much. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Windsor coming out of their zone, and Solovyov gets caught lingering in the neutral zone while an attacking player skips by him and enters the zone cleanly, while Solovyov was left groping with his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Leading a slowish, sort of plodding rush that gets stifled. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Another instance where he was standing and watching instead of hustling back from the boards to his net. What's he doing out there? | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | In full stride one-time slapshot that howled to the net. Goalie was ready but that was a blast. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Looks much more comfortable at the point when his team has good puck control. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Left-handed shot playing the left point. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Charges to the net, and the puck comes to him, but under duress he chips it over the net. Aggressive play, though. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Tries to leave his defensive zone when full possession was not yet theirs, and he left his D partner alone with the puck and three forechecking opponents. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Definitely not hesitant to shoot. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Another monster one-time slapper. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Note | Horrible giveaway at the offensive blue line, and the penalty killer gets a clear breakaway for a goal. Not only was the turnover bad, the player breaking away is not fast, but Solovyov couldn't catch up to stop the attempt. The Saginaw goalie was shooting eye daggers at Solovyov after the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Ilya Solovyov | Summary | Good size at 6'2, 187. Has a huge slap shot with very good timing on one-timers, even on the move. But that's about the limit of his offensive abilities. Decent passer. Below average foot speed, stands around a lot, really bad in his own zone. Just doesn't get involved in most defensive action, though he will use his body at times. Just not a lot of visible hockey smarts in general. I love his shot, but don't really like any of the rest of his game. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Jean-Luc Foudy | Note | Tries to deke around a defender at the blue line who just bodies up and dumps him. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Jean-Luc Foudy | Note | Mechanics look good. He gets a lot of speed. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Jean-Luc Foudy | Note | Good skater with the puck, highly maneuverable. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Jean-Luc Foudy | Note | He looks better skating in traffic than straight line. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Jean-Luc Foudy | Note | Turns a pass to the boards, keeps going for the other end of the give-and-go and gets a good look on net. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Jean-Luc Foudy | Note | That was a nice looks and pass through traffic to give the far side wing a chance on net. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Jean-Luc Foudy | Note | Might not have the sheer top-end speed of his older brother Liam, but he is an excellent skater just the same. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Jean-Luc Foudy | Summary | Foudy was the most visible player on the ice for the Spitfires, driving play into the offensive zone, constantly on the attack, and doing his part in his own end. His skating in the zone forces the defenders to keep an eye on him at all times, and his passing and puckhandling are threat enough to punish them if they don't. Not truly electrifying, and not always a threat to score, but he's at a point per game after 29 this season. His mother was a silver-medalist Olympic sprinter, an interesting side note. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Kyle McDonald | Note | Big body with powerful skating that gives him sneaky-good straight-line speed. Agility and balance look okay. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Kyle McDonald | Note | Same shift, there's a rush up ice, and he was passing people. At 6'5 and 207 pounds, the 18-year-old forward is an excellent up-ice skater. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Kyle McDonald | Note | Skating and size, and his passing is okay, but he's floating and watching, not really getting into the action. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Kyle McDonald | Note | Gets a lucky puck with the goalie out of position behind the net and scores easily, even from a bad angle near the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Kyle McDonald | Note | Carries the puck, power move on his backhand to get around the defender, then tries to go top shelf but misses high. Best offensive move I have seen from him so far in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Kyle McDonald | Note | Again showing speed to beat out an icing. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Kyle McDonald | Note | Wrist shot takes a while to load and unleash. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Kyle McDonald | Note | Gets called for interference on something that could have been ugly as the player went awkwardly into the boards. I want to call that a bad penalty to take, but the opposing player stepped right in front of McDonald. Had he not crashed into the boards there likely wouldn't have been a call. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Kyle McDonald | Summary | McDonald is a 2020-eligible player who is 6'5, 187 pounds who is surprising fast with long, powerful strides that helps reach an excellent top speed. He shows very good mobility and balance. He is not as physical as you’d expect at his size, and his offensive game is subpar and he doesn't get into the meat of the battle at all. He'll need to up his work rate and get more involved in generating offense. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Yegor Afanasyev | Note | Skating is above average but not by a lot. It limits his effectiveness trying to get through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Yegor Afanasyev | Note | Another rush, and he's a step or two off the pace. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Yegor Afanasyev | Note | Going hard, but can't get ahead of Solovyov, who is not a speedy player. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Yegor Afanasyev | Note | Powerplay, up near the top of the right circle, he looks good there because he doesn’t have to move as much or create his own space. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Yegor Afanasyev | Note | Misses the net completely with a mid-range wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Yegor Afanasyev | Summary | A big, power-type player at 6'4, 201, but he lacks the spark that could help propel him forward. His skating is okay, but he's a step slow against good OHL skaters, and he'll need to up his intensity and mobility to get a good crack at the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Windsor vs Saginaw (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10205 |
Nils Lundqvist | Note | Mechanics are nearly flawless. Compact, long push, quick reset. Makes him remarkably fast. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Nils Lundqvist | Note | Skates the puck to the blue line, passes into the neutral zone, then races deep into the offensive zone. Suddenly he's behind the net drawing defenders to him before moving the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Nils Lundqvist | Note | Lundkvist with an awesome pass in tight to find Gunler for the goal. Because it happened on the far side of the goal, I at first thought Lundkvist had shot the puck and Gunler got the rebound, but replays showed that Lundkvist actually pulled the puck to his backhand and made the five-foot pass to Gunler. Hands and vision on top of the speed he was bringing to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Nils Lundqvist | Note | Oh my, is he fast. Just rockets up the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Nils Lundqvist | Note | His release is quick. He gets the puck away with little stick movement at all. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Nils Lundqvist | Summary | Already a good to great skater when he was drafted in 2018, his skating speed and agility has seemingly improved to a superb level. He has also further developed his offensive skills and shot. Lundkvist is quickly becoming a first-rate defensive project for the Rangers. His size at 5'11, 174, is a little on the small side but should have zero effect on his ability to make his way to the NHL. I would not be surprised to see him transfer to North America in the near, near future. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Noel Gunler | Note | Working towards to puck, side-steps a defender, gets the pass, feeds Lundkvist low. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Noel Gunler | Note | Gets to the slot, and Lundkvist finds him with an amazing and sneaky backhand pass, which Gunler darts into the goal with one touch. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Noel Gunler | Note | Gliding behind the net, watching the play on the boards. Puck kicks out, Gunler leans hard on his left skate, then with a great push and just two steps he's in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Noel Gunler | Note | Burst is outstanding, speed is very good, edgework and agility are near excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Noel Gunler | Note | Stickhandles around the defender, then wrists a hard shot low to the far post that just misses wide. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Noel Gunler | Note | Comes off the bench with speed and manages to keep a loose puck from exiting the offensive zone. His momentum carries him to the circle, but he turns back to buy a second or two then saucers one to the weak side right onto Lundkvist's stick. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Noel Gunler | Note | Like his effort on the backcheck. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Noel Gunler | Note | Sees that he has a bit of time while the puck is locked up on the boards, so he clears a broken stick from his high-slot area that had been on the ice for a few shifts. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Noel Gunler | Note | He plays a style of game that will easily translate to smaller ice. He skates well, but is a north/south player who goes to the middle without hesitation. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Noel Gunler | Summary | Gunler's energy, awareness and alert play coupled with his skills and skating are a tantalizing package. He has size at 6'2 and 174 pounds, and he plays fast all the time. Truly an excellent prospect for the 2020 draft. He looks like a top ten pick to me, even with this crowded forward crop. | Brian Fogarty | Lulea vs Lausanne (Champions Hockey League) | 12/10/2019 | 12/15/2019 | 10204 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Going hard back to the bench after his shift. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Top power play unit, low in the strong-side corner. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Edges are good, hands are steady and stick is ready. Works well to keep his body oriented to the play. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | As his team is breaking the puck out of the defensive zone, he heads into the neutral zone, then opens his hips and makes himself available for the breakout pass. Good awareness and skating. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Uses his heel to change pass and angle of forechecking attack. Nice footwork there. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Moving to the right, pass comes across his body and he's able to lean hard on his left foot edge and get a good, off-balance wrist shot on net. He knows how to shoot the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Able to collect tough passes well, and then move the puck with a second touch. He's a step ahead of the play. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Another off-balance shot on net, this time on a one-timer from just inside the blue line. Before the puck was played out to him, he had circled back to get into a better lane and shooting space, and his shot was a dangerous one. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | One thing I'm seeing is he needs to up his physical play a bit. He looks okay in tough spots, but along the walls he's poking and reaching in instead of engaging the body. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | On the blue line, he flicks his wrists and puts a long shot on net. He's got a deceptively quick release. That one might not have had a lot of juice, but it still created havoc at the net. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Just had to make a choice on a puck that was skittering into the zone while he was leaning into the neutral zone. He could easily have chased, but chose the smarter option to regather and not overextend. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Also out on the penalty kill late in the first. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Starting from one blue line, Jarvis and Beckman are in footrace, Jarvis with the puck. By the redline, Jarvis has a stride, though he had a bit more run to start with and Beckman had a bit of traffic. At the next blue line, Jarvis has to slide right to evade a defender, and Beckman is about even again. I'd give the edge to Jarvis, but Beckman was close. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Collects a loose puck at the red line, fights through a stick check, powers into the zone, then drops to the trailer. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | End of a long shift, still working hard in the defensive zone, then makes a bee-line for the bench but the puck pops out in front of him. He attacks into the offensive zone, then when the play fizzles, he still goes hard to the bench. I love that effort. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | He's the second man in on a 3-on-2, but the winger fires a pass into his skates. He can't gather, but he keeps working hard to make something happen. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | He pays attention to his defensive role, and uses good acceleration to break up plays. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Down 3-1, he's on another 3-on-2 rush, this time trailing the play. There's a net-front scramble, the puck ends up in the net, and Beckman is hugging the goal scorer like they just won the championship. He's an enthusiastic winner, this kid. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | He's in great shape. He has played a ton of high energy minutes, and hasn't slowed a step. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Does a lot of spinning when he doesn't have the puck. It's wasted movement that will need to be excised from his game. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Note | Another end-of-shift opportunity, he digs deep, gets a zone entry, and heads to the bench. Discipline and hard work. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Adam Beckman | Summary | Beckman is a well-rounded player with a scorer's touch and feel around the offensive zone. He skates well, works hard in all three zones, and plays an attentive and aware game. He lacks physicality but goes to high-traffic areas when he needs to. Good passer, good vision, though neither are particularly top end. He played a lot of minutes in all situations, and when he was on the ice, the puck typically ended up in the offensive zone. He could be a top-six winger at the NHL level if he continues to develop. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Bear Hughes | Note | Hardworking forechecking shift, very active trying to get the puck back for his team. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Bear Hughes | Note | Wide stride with short pushes. He should get deeper and push into longer strides, but he still has decent pace. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Bear Hughes | Note | He's the center, but on this sequence he's trying to leave the zone before the puck. When the inevitable turnover happens, he's slow to get back on defense. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Bear Hughes | Note | I like his movement overall, but he's a step or two slow skating north/south. On his next sequence, he showed that by having to pass the puck awkwardly instead of outskating the back pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Bear Hughes | Note | Tries to power around Tyson Kozak, but he didn't have the wheels to do it. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Bear Hughes | Note | Yeah, he needs to get two steps faster. I hope he can, because I like him otherwise. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Bear Hughes | Summary | An undrafted 2019 with good size at 6'1 but he's still on the thinner side at 165 pounds. Could use more leg strength and improvement on his stride. Good at faceoffs, but the coach seems to not trust his defensive play too much because he wasn't asked to be a core center defender low in his zone. My feeling after this game is that he could be an effective AHL-level pro, but needs to get faster. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Bobby Russell | Note | Not watching him, but he just made an excellent 180 with the puck that made me go, "ooooh." | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Starts the breakout, heads to the front of the net, then jabs the puck up and into the net off the Fromm-Delorme feed. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Slot side of the circle on the offensive zone faceoff. Puck goes the other way into the corner, and Hanas turns towards the blue after bumping into the defender, then turns around again. Turning his back to the play is not good, but he may have been off balance and forced to do that. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Poor, blind backhand pass off his halfboards easily picked off. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Throws a nice hip check behind the offensive net. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Cross Hanas | Note | Ridiculous video game deke, toe drag backhand top cheese. That was sick. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Cross Hanas | Summary | Playing on the same line as Fromm-Delorme, but didn't look quite as effective. Willing to get physical, above average to good speed. Didn't show off his hands until that nasty dangle off the feed from Fromm-Delorme that was easily the highlight of his game. I'd like to see if he can do more of that, particularly in tighter confines. Looked okay to me, but not a high-end prospect for the 2020 draft at this point. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Filip Kral | Note | Kral, with good size and two-way play, is a weapon, even though he's not fast or dazzling. Just seems to get the job done somehow. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Filip Kral | Note | Again, Kral looks clunky, but he makes plays with the puck. I'm skeptical of his NHL future, but he has success on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | So tall at 6'5, 207 pounds, but he is a fluid, fast skater with agility as well. Nasty combo. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | Throws a hit along the boards, using his size as a factor for physical play. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | Top power play unit, taking up a net-front position. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | Accelerates toward the net and wrists a shot low that handcuffed the goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | Highly active at the crease on the power play. He's so big and well balanced that defenders can't dislodge him and the goalie has hard time getting sight lines. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | Gets a wide, wide stance for faceoffs, and he gets so much leverage on the draw. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | Killing penalties, but loses the faceoff in the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | Again being called upon to kill penalties, and again he's just sort of passive in the slot. This looks more like a coaching preference rather than his play. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | At times, he looks like a kid trying to figure out how to make his body work in unison with all its parts. Once he does, he could be a real force to be reckoned with. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | Needs to up his physical play a bit more. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | On the boards in the corner, the defender hooks him and he topples over. Weird play, but I'd like him to keep his feet there. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | Strides are so long, he can cover half the rink in what seems like three steps. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Note | Overskates the far post and is out of position, but the puck on the far boards goes the other way, so no damage. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Finley | Summary | One of the youngest members of the 2020 draft class (9/2 birthdate), Finley might also be the biggest at 6'5, 207. He is a surprisingly good skater, with long, powerful strides and good edges and agility. He is strong on the puck and has a physical element though he needs to improve on that portion of his game. He was heavily relied on to kill penalties, take faceoffs in all zones, and get to the crease on the powerplay. He showed good hands and a facility for battling for pucks at the crease. He's a player who will improve over time if he keeps working hard. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Obrien | Note | Taking the faceoff, but not playing the typical centerman defensive role down low. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Jack Obrien | Note | At the offensive blue line with the puck, instead of getting over the line, he tries to turn back, loses the puck, and the rush goes the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Raegan Wiles | Note | Right point, half-hearted looking shot doesn't get through the traffic. Puck comes out. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Raegan Wiles | Note | Tries to cut off the forward on the boards, but doesn't quite make the angle. Gets a piece, but the forward gets past him. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Raegan Wiles | Note | Just haven't seen him on the ice much through two periods. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Reece Newkirk | Note | He's a waterbug with the puck, no doubt. Skating is crazy good. And his shot release is super fast. Nice wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Reece Newkirk | Note | Tries a lacrosse move but Ty Smith buries him on the attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Robbie Fromm-Delorme | Note | Reaching a bit on defense, but then closes and gets more physically engaged. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Robbie Fromm-Delorme | Note | Good feed to the slot, had to reach around the defender, but flicks a pass to Hanas for the chance. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Robbie Fromm-Delorme | Note | Moving through the offensive zone with intent when he doesn't have the puck. He's an active participant, not a passive observer. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Robbie Fromm-Delorme | Note | First step is lively. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Robbie Fromm-Delorme | Note | In a disintegrating game with a lot of good skaters, he's still showing speed and nerve and getting pucks into dangerous spots. Now, he just needs to finish. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Robbie Fromm-Delorme | Note | What a wonderful look! Take a pass off the boards, splits two defenders, then spins no scope and hits Hanas who dangles and buries it. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Robbie Fromm-Delorme | Note | I'd call his straightline speed at about 55ish on a 20-80 scale. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Robbie Fromm-Delorme | Note | He goes hard on the forecheck. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Robbie Fromm-Delorme | Note | I like his balance. He'll get his skates out wide to hold position and maintain strength on his feet and on the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Robbie Fromm-Delorme | Summary | Fromm-Delorme is quicker than he is fast, and looks like a better skater in tight spaces than in straightline open ice, but he's okay there, as well. His hockey sense is quite good, he has a high-energy work rate, and he looks to generate offense while he's out there. His defense looks more oriented to generate turnovers than protecting his net, but that's more an indication of his scoring drive than lack of responsibility. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | Excellent skating--speed, light on his skates, turns and pivots are seamless. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | On the penalty kill, battling along the boards against two Spokane players, Jarvis is able to keep the puck tied up for a while. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | Headman goes deep into the zone to retrieve a dumped puck, Jarvis trailing, and when the puck kicks out to him, Jarvis rips a one-timer on net. A lot of heat on that shot. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | Shot from a howitzer, Jarvis screams up ice and beats guys into the zone who were already at the blue line. Gets a drop pass, cuts hard at the goal line and feeds the puck to the slot. That would have been a goal if not for a brilliant poke check from the goalie. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | Not getting enough quality ice time because the Winterhawks keep taking penalties. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | Starting from one blue line, Jarvis and Beckman are in a footrace, Jarvis with the puck. By the redline, Jarvis has a stride, though he had a bit more run to start with and Beckman had a bit of traffic. At the next blue line, Jarvis has to slide right to evade a defender, and Beckman is about even again. I'd give the edge to Jarvis, but Beckman was close. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | After his rush and gaining the zone, he moves the puck then takes up a powerplay spot at the net. Is that how he catches his breath? | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | Reading the play, drifts into open ice. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | Passes are released with no effort, but the weighting is generally perfect, if that's a thing. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | Always finding open ice, and when opponents try to stop him, he slips past and finds a better, bigger space. He's elusive with and without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | Change of direction is superb. He can turn back on a dime. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Note | Gets a clean breakaway, hooked, penalty shot. Sweeps left, pitty patt, dekes to backhand, scores. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Seth Jarvis | Summary | Seth Jarvis will likely be a riser in the 2020 draft class. He plays a constant attacking style, is a lightning fast skater with tremendous agility and technique. His hands are excellent and he gets his shot and passes away quickly and accurately. He plays with intelligence and mobility and seems to be a highly competitive player. I see him as a late first rounder with good scoring upside. | Brian Fogarty | Portland vs Spokane (WHL) | 10/25/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10203 |
Ethan Del Mastro | Note | Tries to turn back, and his turn is tight enough, but he doesn't get good acceleration as he goes the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Ethan Del Mastro | Note | Up ice with the puck, his speed is about average, maybe a half-step slower than that. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Matier | Note | Paired with Hoefenmayer. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Matier | Note | Playing a safe game, likely because he has to work with Hoefenmayer constantly attacking up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Matier | Note | Tries to force a pass at the offensive blue line. Keating was well-covered, so the pass was not the best choice. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Matier | Note | Really nice s-cut backwards strides. He might need to work a bit on top speed, but his small-space skating is excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Matier | Note | Spectacularly well-timed pinch gains puck possession and a rapid-fire attack. His choice garnered a full-on slapper from the high slot. Then he stays active, wins the puck in the right corner, and when Hoefenmayer goes deep into the opposite corner, Matier is back to his point. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Matier | Note | Keeps his man outside the lane, then when the passing opportunity opens, he lifts his man's stick and eliminates the play. Well done. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Matier | Note | Great poke check. Sweeps the puck away. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Matier | Summary | A 16-year-old defender playing a lot of minutes and asked to cover a lot of ice while his d-partner is actively engaged in the attack. He made some mistakes, but also made some excellent decisions with and without the puck. He already has size at 6'3 and 184 pounds, and skates well. He looks like a very promising prospect for the 2021 draft and beyond. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Poke check breaks up a rush. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Turns his defender, pulls up, fires a good shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Steps left and uses his hip to shield the puck from the defender, effectively boxing him out of the play. He earned two seconds for his team with a simple shift of his body. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Quinn has smart body-awareness--good positional player. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Killing penalties, working hard late in the period. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Quinn with his second stick infraction of the game. He's pushing the limits, and tipping over the edge at times. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Jack Quinn | Summary | Gets around the ice well, but it was his awareness and hockey iq that stood out in this game. At both ends of the ice, he used his body and edges to create separation or close gaps as appropriate. Plays a smart possession game with a good amount of offensive skill. Good play when he was one-on-one with a defender, and he created on his own. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
James Hardie | Note | Upright, but gets good knee bend when he wants to go. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
James Hardie | Note | He floats a lot. Not much urgency in his game at either end of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Joseph Garreffa | Note | Garreffa can fly. Head up, slick stickwork, a crackle of ozone as he passes by. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Kevin Bahl | Note | Bahl has a lot of tools, but his biggest asset is likely his cool under pressure. Which is good, because he's not going to beat forecheckers with his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Hands are so fast, he was able to take that pass on his backhand, pull it straight back to his left and release the shot immediately. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Slips his man in the corner, peels into the circle, finds Hoefenmayer on the far post for a great opportunity. Then he follows up Hoefenmayer's shot looking for the rebound. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Looking amazingly dangerous on every shift. The Steelheads have no answer for him. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Turns are agile with the puck. He can twist and change directions with no effort. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Left side on the powerplay, dips a shoulder, digs with his left skate, then slides a pass to the point. The defender was completely fooled. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | The pucks gets turned over on the powerplay, Rossi last man back, and he gains a step on the breakaway then a diving stick sweep disrupts the attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Goes behind the net and pins the defenseman with the puck, turns, finds the puck at this feet, and kicks a pass to the net front to create a deadly-looking opportunity. That one made me gasp. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Even in this forward-deep draft class, I think Rossi has a legitimate shot at the top ten. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Puck comes to him from the corner, he's in the low slot near the left circle, and he one-times it. Perfect choice, no hesitation. Saved, but a great scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Throws a breakout pass off the back of his headman, and the puck ricochets back into the defensive zone. That's the first clear mistake I've seen from him in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Dazzling puck handling just schooled the opposing player. This kid has all the skills. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Rossi talking a lot, guiding his teammates, trying to organize on the faceoff. Then he outworks everyone to prove his point. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Just realized that he's capturing all of my attention. It's hard not to watch him when he's out there. And he's out there a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Puck loose at the boards, as he closes, he chokes way up on his stick, pivots and passes. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Not physical, but will go to the net and battle for position. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Marco Rossi | Summary | Rossi continues to impress with every viewing. His work rate is off the charts, with constant effort on display on every shift. He plays such a smart, effective and simple game, with excellent wheels and soft hands. He has a variety of shooting options, his vision is excellent, and his decisions are nearly always spot on. He's a leader on the ice, playing his draft year like he's a overager veteran. His commitment to defense shows not only competitive nature but his on-ice command of the game, as well. He may be on the smaller side, but at 5'9 and 179 pounds he packs a lot of foot and hand strength into his frame and he doesn't look small on the ice. He is a multitool player and a top, top prospect in a deep class. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | On the right point, puck comes around the rim to him, and he is able to smoothly pull the puck off the wall with his backhand, slide to the forehand, and rip a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | And there is Hoefenmayer's weakness: he just got caught lunging for a poke check in his own end and allows the attacker to step around him and get a clean shot on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | Uses his speed and long stick, takes a good angle, and drives the puck carrier to the boards, then Hoefenmayer knocks the puck free. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | Another bomb from Hoefenmayer. He's just firing shots on net one after another. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | Defending a 5-on-3, so the coach has confidence in his defensive capabilities. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Summary | Credited with six shots in this game, but he must have had at least twice as many attempts. When he's on the ice, the puck finds him. Still work to do in his zone, but outside of his zone, he's a threat, for certain. Unlike some other highly offense-oriented defenders of recent years, Hoefenmayer looks like he is committed to improving his defensive game and willing to put in the hard work in his zone. He's likely a player that will need to prove his worth and polish his two-way game in the AHL for a couple of years, but he also looks NHL capable. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Thomas Harley | Note | Harley can truly skate. Wind-like, that one. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Ty Collins | Note | First step looks a little slow, but he picks up speed well after that. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Ty Collins | Note | Pulls his man down, holding call against him. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Ty Collins | Note | He's an upright skater with no great technique. Needs to get lower, stronger. As such, his edges are good because that's what he relies on, but his speed and acceleration are lacking. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Yanic Crete | Note | Battling deep for the pucks, wins the fight but the puck goes the other way. He skates out hard, gets an interception in the neutral zone and makes a diving pass to relaunch the offense. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Yanic Crete | Note | Tries to deke around Harley, which was, well, inadvisable. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Ottawa (OHL) | 11/23/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10202 |
Adam Evanoff | Note | Evanoff has been incredible in this game. Facing a ton of shots, he has limited awkward rebounds, fought off traffic, and made several sensational saves even though he's been left out on a wire by himself. His lateral movement is nice. He's a battler, too. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Adam Evanoff | Note | Probably finishes this game with 50-plus saves [Editors Note: He faces 49 shots, and saved 46 of them.] | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Aidan De La Gorgendierre | Note | Keeps his stick high when he's skating. It makes him look like he's off balance all the time. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Aidan De La Gorgendierre | Note | Patient and steady in his own end. Skates well. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Aidan De La Gorgendierre | Note | Has the puck in his own zone four-on-four, is able to spin away from a couple of forechecks, but never moves the puck and ends up bobbling it behind his own net. Hmmmmm. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Aidan De La Gorgendierre | Note | Joins the rush, and wow, he has speed. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Aidan De La Gorgendierre | Note | Backwards, forwards, side-to-side, just dancing on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Aidan De La Gorgendierre | Note | Tracks the puck carrier all the way out to the blue line, leaving a gaping hole in front of the his net. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Aidan De La Gorgendierre | Note | Looks a lot better with the puck on his stick when he's hurtling through the neutral zone than he does when he has it in his own end. This kid is all heading up ice right now. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Aidan De La Gorgendierre | Note | More than willing to get up into the offensive game. His slapshot is okay. He holds it at the top, seeming to look for slap-pass options before putting the puck on net. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Aidan De La Gorgendierre | Note | Loses his stick, but then uses his feet to shadow the puck carrier, tightening his gap, and forcing the puck out to the blue line. Well played. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Aidan De La Gorgendierre | Note | Kid can move the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Aidan De La Gorgendierre | Note | Does well to collect a bad pass sent into his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Aidan De La Gorgendierre | Summary | Playing a lot of minutes as a 17-year-old defenseman, he is being used in all situations. He has good size at 6'0 and 179 pounds and his skating is excellent or slightly better. He needs to fill some holes, but the hockey iq in his defensive zone is there, and his ability to carry or pass the puck up the ice and drive the attack will make him a dangerous opponent as he continues to develop. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Chase Wouters | Note | Drives through the neutral zone with the puck like he owns it. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Chase Wouters | Note | Killing penalties, hyperactive in the middle of the slot, stick awareness, trying to cut off passing lanes. He's effective there. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Chase Wouters | Note | Smooth skater. Good size. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Chase Wouters | Note | Not a speedy player, but he has a solid base and is hard to move. Takes up a spot at the crease on the powerplay and the defender struggles to move him out of position. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Chase Wouters | Note | Again at the top of the crease, fighting for rebounds. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Chase Wouters | Note | Trying to get to a loose puck, his stride is so wide it eats some acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Chase Wouters | Note | Intermission interview with Captain Wouters. Lots of cliché. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Chase Wouters | Summary | Skating is good enough, and he is a hard-working player who adds some grind to his team, even though he is more offensively inclined. Will battle at the net, kill penalties, push play. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Colton Dach | Note | Tall kid with a solid-looking base. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Colton Dach | Note | Nice, soft board pass on target to start the breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Colton Dach | Note | Physical in the offensive corner, battling hard for the puck. Uses his big body to seal off the opponent. Stepped around, pinched him into the boards, sealed off the puck until he could gain control. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Colton Dach | Note | Quality skater, but his feet are exceptional when he wants to fire the puck. Uses his edges for snap agility and powers his release. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Colton Dach | Note | Again using his frame to gain superiority over his rival. Edges and shoulders, stick and strength. He's a tough player to beat in a puck battle. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Colton Dach | Note | Long stride, moves smoothly up ice with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Colton Dach | Note | On the powerplay, slicing through the slot area without the puck, trying to give his linemates an option. Goes to the front of the net, gains position and gets his stick on the puckside of the defender. Smart positional awareness. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Colton Dach | Note | A 2021-eligible, 16-year-old Center who is already 6'2, 174 pounds. Kirby is 6'4, 198, so it's likely that Colton gets bigger, too. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Colton Dach | Note | He goes to the net, is willing to take a hit and absorbs them well, and doesn't lose his cool when others try to agitate. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Colton Dach | Summary | It's clear yet that Colton will have the offensive success of his older brother Kirby, but he's an intriguing prospect in his own right. He was always around the play, using his size well, gaining position and getting himself in spots to be effective. He wasn't getting a lot of offensive chances, but he kept trying to create. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Note | First shift, and everything looks crisp. Pass behind his net was sharp and accurate. Later, a snap pass into the corner to buy time and space. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Note | On the powerplay, the Warriors have three guys behind the offensive net battling for the puck, and Hunt is low at the side of the net, looking for the puck to pop out. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Note | Watching everything on the ice, his head and eyes are active, and when the puck slips loose he pounces and immediately turns the play back up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Note | Poor cross-check penalty deep in the offensive zone while on the powerplay. What was he doing? | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Note | Used as a hybrid forward on the powerplay and four-on-four. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Note | Walks the puck in from the point and wrists a shot on net, good save keeps the puck alive. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Note | Good work getting a loose puck in his own zone and relieving pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Note | Out to kill the 5-on-3 at the start of the third. Most of the initial kill was spent in his zone, but he did a great job of positioning himself, keeping his stick in lanes, a reacting to the play. Didn't allow a shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Note | Moving into the high slot, gets a pass from the boards and sends a hard wrist shot clanging off of the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Note | Dumps a puck from the red line, then beats two Saskatoon players to the puck in the corner. He holds back on his speed a lot of the time. But when he's not stingy, he shows tremendous pace. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Note | Good clear on the penalty kill. He's adept at getting the puck out of his zone on the kill. Several times in this game he's done that with a cool head. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Note | Big slapper on a puck sliding into his path. He timed that well, blasted it on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Daemon Hunt | Summary | Hunt can skate. He's got a strong, solid frame already at 6'0 and 198 pounds, and he is easily Moose Jaws' best defenseman--and with Tracey out of the lineup, likely their best player. He plays all three zones the same: with cool intention and a drive to dominate the game. He needs to work on his shooting accuracy, but he has a good array of shots and gets a lot of power behind them as well. In his zone, he is reliable and calm and seems to care more about getting the puck out of danger than he is getting into the offense. However, once his zone is safe, he jets up the ice and gets involved. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Eric Alarie | Note | Two nice passes on his backhand from the offensive zone corner out to the point. Each pass was heavy but well weighted to allow the point man to handle them easily. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Eric Alarie | Note | Working on the second powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Eric Alarie | Note | He's following the puck instead of engaging in the play, which leaves him a step behind. When the puck comes to him, the defender is ready and gets a clean takeaway. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Eric Alarie | Note | First couple of steps are slower than average. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Eric Alarie | Note | On the left boards with the puck, passes to the circle. It would have been a good play except that the winger was well covered and the pass was broken up. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Eric Alarie | Note | Faceoff, puck skips past, and he can't win the race to the loose puck, even though he was the closest player to it. The Saskatoon team is fast, but Alarie should have won that. He's not a poor skater, he just labors to get those first steps to help him. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Eric Alarie | Note | In a game with so many good skaters, he looks out of place. Needs improvement. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Eric Florchuk | Note | Once again, watching Florchuk just frustrates me. Size, speed, hustle, but no offensive instincts, creativity or finishing ability. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Kyle Crnkovic | Note | Changes direction quickly with the puck. Makes him hard to trap along the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Kyle Crnkovic | Note | Really nice burst of speed. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Kyle Crnkovic | Note | Good cross-ice powerplay pass to Robins for the one-timer, wide. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Kyle Crnkovic | Note | Short, stocky player with good passes and offensive instincts. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Kyle Crnkovic | Note | Also killing penalties. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Kyle Crnkovic | Note | There are holes in his game, but skating is not one of them. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Kyle Crnkovic | Note | Tries a shot form the goal line when Wouters was waiting at the crease. He should have passed it, there. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Kyle Crnkovic | Note | If there's a seam, he'll likely find it and make a good, accurate pass. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Kyle Crnkovic | Note | Robbed at the doorstep. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Ryder Korczak | Note | Fast hands to evade. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Ryder Korczak | Note | Just hasn't found a rhythm yet in the first period. Has turned the puck over a couple of times. He's fighting the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Ryder Korczak | Note | Smart little self-pass off the boards behind the net, then passes out to Hunt, who unfortunately bobbles it. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Ryder Korczak | Note | An entire shift in which he circled around his zone and had zero interaction with the actual play | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Ryder Korczak | Note | Playing a ton of minutes in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Ryder Korczak | Note | Has the puck in his own zone trying to lead the powerplay breakout, but turns the puck over and allows a clean breakaway. Yuck. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Ryder Korczak | Note | Out on the penalty kill, gets a puck, enters the zone, then passes back out into the neutral zone and straight to an opposing player. Yuck. These are the plays that the 16 year old needs to eliminate from his game. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Ryder Korczak | Note | Works hard deep in his own zone and draws a penalty. His effort while down 2-0 in the third is admirable. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Ryder Korczak | Note | Just off in this game. Missing passes, turning pucks over. But there's something good to his game. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Ryder Korczak | Note | One touch backhand pass against the flow, right on the tape. Clever play, that. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Ryder Korczak | Note | Still driving play even though his team is down 3-0 with just a couple of minutes left. No quit here. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Ryder Korczak | Summary | Made a lot of mistakes with the puck that underscores his lack of experience, but Korczak can play the game. He knows what he wants to do, he just needs to get his game to the point where he's more comfortable in tight conditions. He has time to develop, of course, and should he use that time well, he could become a good prospect, no doubt. With Tracey out of the lineup he's carrying the load. He needs some pieces around him to take on some of that weight and allow him to naturally progress. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Tristen Robins | Note | Beats out an icing by getting around the defenseman and winning the foot race. His first few steps are excellent. He just won three separate puck races on the same shift. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Tristen Robins | Note | I liked this little play a lot: Off the defensive-zone faceoff, he's playing the net side, puck slides out, he steps in and one-touches toward the corner for a safe possession play. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Tristen Robins | Note | Steps into a lane and intercepts a pass. Gets tripped but no call. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Tristen Robins | Note | He's all over the place, always involved in the play. He just made an excellent net-front downward deflection that should have been a goal. Then he's banging away at the rebound. I'm really liking his game. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Tristen Robins | Note | Killing penalties with his speed. He's a threat to turn it the other way and his puckhandling is good enough to eat up seconds. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Tristen Robins | Note | Tries to deke and split two defenders, and nearly succeeds but the puck slips away at the last second. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Tristen Robins | Note | Killing penalties with an active stick and harassment speed. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Tristen Robins | Note | Turns his defender around, steps back against the grain, and uses the confused defenseman as a screen for a snapshot that beats the nettie high glove. Good move. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Tristen Robins | Note | His hockey sense is really good, at both ends. He has his teeth buried into every play on every shift, no matter what he's being used for at the time. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Tristen Robins | Note | I really like how he puts some heat on his passes, but only to cross the space, not too hard for the receivers to handle. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Tristen Robins | Note | His balance is excellent. Just took a solid hit from a bigger player and kept his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Tristen Robins | Summary | I find it puzzling that Robins is only producing at .65 points per game at this point [Editors Note: At game 29, Robins has 19 points on 9 goals and 10 assists), mainly because the puck is always on his stick and he has the skills to get it in the net. He's fast and agile, uses his quickness to his advantage whether on offense or defense, and plays of full game. In this game he looked to me like a player that could explode for a chunk of points and raise his draft stock. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/17/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10201 |
Chase Stillman | Note | Tries a little pitty-pat pass that just hit the defenders skates. Yikes. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Chase Stillman | Note | Looks a bit lost in his zone on this shift, like he's trying to figure out what to do. Watches as a puckcarrier gets to the slot for a chance. Come on. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Chase Stillman | Note | Tries to cut back with the puck, but loses the handle and turns it over. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Chase Stillman | Note | Tries to toe drag around the defender, loses the puck and the defender clears it easily, | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Chase Stillman | Note | Solid hit separates the man from the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Chase Stillman | Note | He's seen plenty of shifts, but his game is lackluster despite a good work rate. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Chase Stillman | Note | Everything is just a little off. Passes are a bit too far out of reach, dekes just a little too slow, etc. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Chase Stillman | Summary | A young player (2021 draft eligible) in his rookie OHL season who shows the signs of inexperience. He's currently listed at 5'10, 174 pounds, but his father, former NHLer and current Sudbury coach Cory Stillman, was 6'0, 200 when he played. Chase plays with a lot of energy, is competitive and has some physicality, and he looks like a player that has good hockey sense but hasn't yet been able to put it all together. Moves around the ice well and has decent offensive instincts, so his development over the next year will be key. It will be interesting to watch him later this season to see how much improvement he gains over his rookie year. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Gets turned around trying to defend a four-on-two, and Byfield makes him pay. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Moves very well. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Faceoff draw comes to his stick and he unleashes a shot that looked like it came from out of the blue,. I don't think the goalie moved at all. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Takes a hard rub out in order to make the pass and free his linemate for a chance. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Doesn’t waste time or movement when he has the puck. Decisions are immediate and effective. Good vision. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | More hunched over than deep knee bends. Uses his edges a lot for movement and maintaining momentum. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Likes to hover around in the right circle, but his play there is passive, waiting for the puck to find him. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Has the puck pushing through the neutral zone, brings speed into the offensive zone, slides left, misses the net with a wrist shot. This is definitely not his best game of the year. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Love his vision and creativity with the puck. He finds sneaky plays and can make the passes to initiate them. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Cole Perfetti | Note | Another chance with the puck, snaps a hard wrist shot, but again is clangs off of the boards. Hit the net, man! | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Cole Perfetti | Summary | He shoots and plays hard, he shows a tremendous drive to create offense, and he makes good, fast decisions with the puck. However, in this game, he missed the net often and looked like he was simply trying too hard most of the game. His skating is good or better, but has room for improvement. He's a quality prospect, for sure, but I wasn't thrilled with what I saw in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Ethan Cardwell | Note | Accelerated to his left wing lane, got the puck and used speed to push the defenders back, then a quick stop and pass to the slot, but a bit too much heat and the pass skips into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Ethan Cardwell | Note | Got back well to try to defend the rush, but looks like he made a bad read in a tough spot, and the back door player was left alone for a one-timer goal. Actually, on replay, I think it was the backside defender (Mitchell Smith) who took the wrong man. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Ethan Cardwell | Note | Speedy. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Ethan Cardwell | Note | Has a fast release on his wrist shot, gets the puck on the goalie before he can be ready. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Ethan Cardwell | Note | Lots of hustle in his game, and he's fast so he gets around the ice, thinking the game at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Ethan Cardwell | Summary | Comes from a line of hockey players (his grandfather saw 53 NHL games and his dad was a quality NCAA player and journeyman minor leaguer). He has great speed and plays with intent and competitiveness, doing little things well. He's a young 2020 draft-eligible (Aug 30th birthdate), and needs to put some more strength onto his 5'10, 157-pound frame. I liked what I saw from him, though. He's not a top-round player, but could be a nice middle-round pick who develops. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Jack Thompson | Note | Generates speed while transitioning the puck up ice, but his stride can be cleaned up a bit and he'll get even better. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Jack Thompson | Note | Holds his gaps, keeps his man to the outside and fangless. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Jack Thompson | Note | Works smart on the blue line, holding and walking the line, draw defending players towards him, then finding the open forward down low. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Jack Thompson | Note | I like his stick, his mobility, and his engagement in the game. He's always a part of the play somehow. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Jack Thompson | Note | Doesn't over-extend himself. He times his actions well and seems to have good sense of the unfolding play. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Jack Thompson | Note | Puck is deep in the offensive zone corner, ,and he's back at the blue line. Takes a look up at the clock, sees ten seconds left in the period, and drives up to the slot. Smart move. Puck never comes out of the corner, but he put himself in a low risk/high reward spot on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Jack Thompson | Summary | Smart, steady defender who minds his gaps, joins the rush, and has a nice first pass. He has good size at 6'1, 172 and he plays well in all three zones. His points total so far (18 points in 23 games) seems like a true indication of his abilities. One to pay attention to. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Joshua Bloom | Note | Skating is a bit all over the place. Not the quickest or smoothest pivots, has a long push but doesn't get a lot of power from it. High flicking kick at the end. His steps are slushy on his turn and acceleration. Just awkward looking everywhere. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Joshua Bloom | Note | Takes the puck a step into the offensive zone, then drops a pass to the boards, where his teammate enters with pace, finds the third man cutting to the slot--goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Joshua Bloom | Summary | Honestly, with Saginaw wearing their pink cancer awareness jerseys, it was hard to discern numbers and names, so I didn't see many of his shifts. What I did see was a player with upside who needs to work on skating, but showed a nice foundation to build upon. He's a 2021, so he has some time to develop and improve. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Landon McCallum | Note | Wins the puck in front of his net, passes out and then good speed up ice, heads to the net and taps in a juicy rebound for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Landon McCallum | Note | He's a 9/5/2003 birthdate, so this is almost his D-2 year, but for all of 11 days. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Landon McCallum | Note | Back deep in his zone, he's communicating, taking good positions to defend and then, after his team gets the puck, he takes a great angle to open a passing lane and allow the breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Landon McCallum | Note | Decent-looking mechanics but he needs more leg strength to build speed, and needs to get his feet back beneath him more quickly | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Landon McCallum | Note | Hockey sense looks good at both ends. He looks like he's poised to jump up ice, but he's smart defensively and stays in position. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Landon McCallum | Summary | McCallum looked more like a draft-year player than one who has just turned 16. Sudbury selected him 15th-overall in the OHL draft, and it's easy to see why. He can skate, he looks like a leader on the ice, and plays a high-iq game in both ends. For a young player, his defensive awareness and commitment were obvious. What's more, he did look at all like a player taking shortcuts. Everything was intentional and his game sense is excellent. I like this player a lot. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Good lean on his edges, but looks a bit bent over when he has the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Reads a potential play to the slot, and goes there, lifts the defenders stick to give his puckhandling winger a bit more space. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Lovely sequence from Byfield: gets a puck in tight quarters, makes a patient, effective pass and takes off. Gets the puck back, freezes the goaltender, then passes far post for a tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Big and strong with the puck. Maybe not the most dazzling puckhandler, but he has skill enough to make opponents look bad trying to stop him. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Long, strong strides gets him up ice in a hurry. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | His wrist shot is ridiculously hard and comes off of his stick in a flash. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Causing all types of problems for the defense. He can power past, so they back off. With time, his shot is dangerous, so they block the lane. But then he has vision and sharp passing at angles, so that's a good option, too. What do you defend? | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Out killing penalties while up 4-1, and working hard, mucking behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Speed is probably very good at best (1.5) but he's a good skater, more fluid than dynamic. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Had a chance for a shoulder check along the boards, but opted for a stick check instead. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Passes are accurate, but its more the strength in his wrists that gets the passes away with zip, allowing him to disguise his intentions and surprise opponents. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Just snapped a defender off at the ankles with deft, fast stickwork. He has a long reach and fast hands, so he can pull the puck back from a long way out. Nice move. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | His speed will improve. It's good now, but will get better, | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Note | Out again killing penalties, intercepts, kicks the puck up ice then chases it down. When the defending player tries to cut off his lane to the net, Byfield pulls up, threads a pass to the trailer for the shorthanded goal. Beautiful effort from Byfield. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Quinton Byfield | Summary | Byfield has proved more than capable in the competition for the #2 2019 draft spot behind Lafreniere. He has excellent size (6'4, 214) and good skating ability that looks like it will improve with more power skating training. He shows amazing wrist and hand strength, snapping passes and shots with little visible effort and great deception because of it, and he has the vision and awareness to make really good reads and pick out options. He kills penalties, plays solid defense and is a disrupter in the neutral zone. He has all the tools. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Roberto Mancini | Note | Tries to stick check an attacker at his blue line and misses entirely, allowing an easy entry, then he's scrambling to get back. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Roberto Mancini | Note | Movement is generally okay. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Roberto Mancini | Note | Puck comes to him at the point, he has time but slops it towards the net and into the shinpads of the defending forward. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Roberto Mancini | Summary | Big, takes up space in his zone, will put a body on the opponent, but he lacks top-end speed and looks more like a stay-at-home type. He will trail a rush, but he's not leading them. He put himself out of position at times, but he's another of the many young players in this game, and at 16 he has a lot of time to improve. Perhaps needs to engage in the offense more, because he showed the capability when he did. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Roberto Mancini | Note | That was a time when Mancini got up into the offensive play, pinching in with the puck and findings Jenkins for a chance. Good pass. | Brian Fogarty | Sudbury vs Saginaw (OHL) | 10/26/2019 | 12/5/2019 | 10200 |
Anthony Tabak | Note | Has size, looks like a tank on skates, and on that opening shift, he seemed about as agile as a tank, too. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Anthony Tabak | Note | Really lacking foot speed. He was just struggling to get back on the backcheck. The play just ran away from him. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Anthony Tabak | Note | Second time in the first period where he tried to make a hit but missed his man because he couldn't adjust to the movement. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Anthony Tabak | Summary | Got a lot of ice time in the game, but was not particularly affective, primarily because his skating keeps him a couple of steps behind the pace of play. Has size, looks like a smart player, but needs work on his feet before he can reach the next level. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Excellent speed up the left wing side, he was flying. Good, powerful strides, smooth and clean mechanics. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Gets tied up behind the net, but instead of just waiting for help and battling on the boards he tries to flip it to the crease, and the puck ends up clearing the offensive zone and the puck goes all the way back to his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Loses an edge and spills into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Changes direction well, moves with the puck, draws a tripping penalty by outmaneuvering the opposing forward. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Jack Quinn | Note | Super-fast release and he roofs it short side to beat the goalie. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Jack Quinn | Summary | Quinn is a good player who looked like a second- or third-round pick type. Needs development, but has a good sense of play and awareness, a nice shot and plays up and down the ice. He's an early birthdate (Sep 19) which is interesting for his draft curve, but he can play. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Good positional awareness in his end, but when he gets a loose puck, he tries a risky pass from behind his net to a defenseman right at the crease, and turns the puck over. Would have been better served with a more cautious play there. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Heading a breakout, but Keating doesn't pass to him and Rossi goes offsides. He should have adjusted his entry speed or dragged his foot, but in all fairness, Keating should have moved the puck more quickly, too. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Has excellent speed and uses it to win puck races, and he just caught Rees on a backcheck, and we know Rees can skate. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Passed when shooting may have been his better choice. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Outpaced Tabak by a good margin. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Definitely a pass-first player. He just passed up another shooting opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Rossi is an excellent (2+) skater. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Marco Rossi | Note | Good vision to wait and find Quinn on the far post. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Marco Rossi | Summary | Another early birthdate in the 2020 class (Sep 23) but Rossi should be considered a top 20 prospect. He will be among the top skaters in the class, and has great vision and hands. Would like to see more of his shooting, though he did launch a couple of nice, accurate attempts in this game. The game itself was bit sloppy overall and Sarnia was not the toughest competition, so I'd like to see more of him against quality competition. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | Looks like an average skater, speed is just okay, but he just unleashed a monster slapshot that handcuffed the netminder. I thought that was in. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | Wrist shot has zip, too. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | Back defending a two-on-one, communicating well with his defensive partner, but ultimately gets turned around and lost at the circle. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | Another huge one-time slapper. Wow, does he like to rifle that thing on net. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | Now he wrists one up for a tip in, which is completed for the game's second goal. Hoefenmayer has nice variety of weapons from the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | Takes a great angle to a possible breakaway and uses a long reach to swat the puck away. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | A few of his passes have been behind his targets on the move. His shot is definitely better than his passing. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Note | Looks like an experienced OHL defender, making smart plays all over the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Noel Hoefenmayer | Summary | There's a lot to like about Hoefenmayer, particularly his rocket shot. Plays a smart game in his own end, showing positioning and awareness, but it's when he turns up ice that he really drives play. Maybe his passing isn't as sharp as it could be, but he shoots hard and accurately and brings a variety of speeds and angles to the net. He will lead a charge, but stays responsible and gets back to his defense with urgency. I like his play a lot, but as an older player in the OHL, the real test will come soon when he takes that step into the pro ranks. If he can translate his play up the ladder (which I see no reason to doubt) he could become a quality middle-pair NHL type who works the point on the powerplay, too. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Quinn Yule | Note | His strides are short because he doesn't pull his feet back underneath him, and doesn't get full extension. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Quinn Yule | Note | Needs to do a lot of work on his mechanics to build more power and speed. Right now he is just too slow to make an impact. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Ryan Mast | Note | Positioned well to cut off the only entry pass option and he makes an easy interception because of that. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Ryan Mast | Note | Tricky wrist shot almost beat the nettie up high. I think it might have hit him in the mask. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Ryan Mast | Note | Does well to reach out and poke the puck away from Quinn who was trying to drag the puck to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Theo Hill | Note | Nice forechecking presence with some physical game. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Theo Hill | Note | Like his pace and mobility. Fluid on his edges, too, but he just tried to throw a hit and actually got the worst of it. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Theo Hill | Note | Good push gets him up to speed quickly off the glide turn. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Ty Voit | Note | Gets the puck in the neutral zone and slows the play to allow his teammate to get into space, then makes a soft flip pass to him at the blue line, springing him for an attack. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Ty Voit | Note | Has good speed and accelerates quickly. Keeps his speed on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Ty Voit | Note | He can handle the puck, nice soft hands and quick puck movement under pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Ty Voit | Note | Turns a circle without the puck in the center of the offensive zone, turning his back to the puck and taking away an option. Stop and change would have been the much better tack there instead of the wide turn. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Sarnia (OHL) | 11/8/2019 | 11/15/2019 | 10199 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Bo Groulx is going to be a high-quality NHL third-liner. Smart, strong, with skill. Maybe not enough scoring touch to be a top six, but he could have a nice long career ahead of him. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Groulx is dominating in the faceoff circle. He's close to 70% in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Cameron Whynot | Note | Good mechanics, nice edgework for quick stops and change of direction. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Cameron Whynot | Note | Nice wrist shot to the far corner, bar down for his feet goal in the Q. He made a good read to be in position to the get the pass, then finished with the wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Cameron Whynot | Note | Puts up a puck to the net, but more of a deflection opportunity than a true shot. Still, it found its way to the goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Cameron Whynot | Note | Has a good bit of work to do on his defensive play, but he has time. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Cameron Whynot | Note | Hard low slapper from the point gets in on net, but Lavalee swallows it up. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Cameron Whynot | Note | Another shift where he was drifting a bit in his own zone. Needs to tighten up his positioning when the puck is away from the net. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Cameron Whynot | Summary | Although at times it was easy to see his lack of experience, Whynot has lot of tools to work with to improve his game. He moves well, shows good sense of when to go up ice, when to fall back, a good shot, good mobility. He's 6'2 and 181 pounds at 16 years old, so seeing this type of play at D-2 is tremendously encouraging. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Okay speed, but doesn't look light on his feet. Agility might be a bit suspect, and turns are slow (this was his first shift of the game). | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Another instance where he shows little agility, just chopping little steps trying to turn and go. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Note | He looks like an all-around above average player, but not better than that, yet. Good hands, decent skater, okay awareness, but nothing that jumps out as exceptional. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Second man in on a 2-on-0, takes the pass and roofs it past Gravel. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Note | Speed is average. I'd like him more if he was faster, because his hands and hockey sense are good. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Elliot Desnoyers | Summary | Despite needing to improve on his footwork, Desnoyers is an above-average player in other aspects. Probably won't be a top-60 choice, but could be a player who is a quality third or fourth-round pick with upside. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Jakob Pelletier | Note | Two straight sequences in which his defensive positioning was excellent and he easily intercepted two passes that led to breakouts. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Jakob Pelletier | Note | Shoulder checks a puck carrier to force an early pass, then gets position in the slot. Gets the puck, makes a deft pass to the circle for a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Jakob Pelletier | Note | He recognizes opportunities so immediately, and then has the feet and hands to capitalize. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Jakob Pelletier | Note | Answers with an excellent backhand pass to the slot and the game is tied. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Jakob Pelletier | Summary | Just keeps looking better with every viewing. He's a complete player who should make an impact at the NHL level. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Jordan Spence | Note | Shows a lot of patience with the puck deep in his zone, and often makes the right play because of that. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Jordan Spence | Note | Spence vs Dube is an interesting contests and guide for measuring Spence's mobility. He gains position and beats Dube to the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Jordan Spence | Summary | The Los Angeles prospect (LA took him 95th overall in 2019) plays the kind of defensive game that is difficult to describe, because he just does everything right. Patient with the puck, unflappable at both ends of the ice. Very good on his feet, always aware and paying attention to the play around him. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Justin Barron | Note | Holding the puck behind his net, waiting for the breakout to set up, then fires a risky long pass that was tipped away by the forechecking player. Why not pass that to the left side instead of trying the bomb up the middle? | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Justin Barron | Note | Starts to leave the zone way too early and gets caught up at the blue line while the opposition gets a great scoring chance after a turnover. Coaches will hate that bit of video. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Justin Barron | Note | Gathers a puck, stops and cuts back, makes an easy breakout pass to start an attack. That's the simple play and use of his skating that he needs more of. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Justin Barron | Note | He's playing a risky game too often, which he used to get away with when McIsaac, et al, were backing him up. Now he's got to be smarter than that. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Justin Barron | Note | Spends a lot of time having to chase back because he's been caught up ice. When he's settled in his end, his defense and positioning is solid, but its rare that he's actually settled at all. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Justin Barron | Note | Tries to make a hit but misses, but the problem was more that he the only player between the puck carrier and the net. He's lucky that he got some late help from backcheckers. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Justin Barron | Note | Banging away from the blue line until Trepanier collects a rebound and pots the go-ahead goal with four minutes left. Two shots were hard slapshots, then a strong wrist shot finally yields the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Justin Barron | Note | That sequence was Barron capsulated: skates the puck up through the neutral zone, smooth and easy, cuts and fakes one guy then banks a nice pass off the boards to find Lavoie. Good, controlled play. But then Barron just kept going into the offensive zone. When the defender is able to poke the puck away from Lavoie, there is a sudden 2-on-1 the other way and Barron is nowhere to be seen. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Justin Barron | Summary | Barron looks like a player who has been able to outskate all of competition for so long and rely on his speed and movement to cover up risky plays and mistakes, that he's developed some sloppy habits. He needs to correct those, and soon. But as a package, with a bit of discipline, he is still an excellent prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Nice play, no-look backhand pass to Groulx for a near goal. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | There's no question the he has all of the NHL tools, but he needs to increase the urgency and consistency in his game. If not, he's going to waste a lot of skill and talent. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Carries the puck out of his zone, then carriers it a bit further that he should have, passing to the wing a couple of strides later and the play fizzles out. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Lavoie moving away from the pass instead of coming back to it, allows Khovanov to step between and intercept to start the game winning rush. A nice play by Khovanov, but that goal is on Lavoie. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Raphael Lavoie | Summary | Lavoie is a player that will make Oilers fans insane. He's big, smooth and so skilled, has a laser beam wrist shot, but he only plays at about 80% most of the time. He doesn't look disinterested, he just doesn't seem to have the high revving motor that would make him a star player. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Sam Dow | Note | Smooth transitions front to back. Nice, effortless swivel. He's a good skater. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Samuel Dube | Note | Pinballing around, doesn't stop, gets a puck and wrists a hard shot on net. Kid is always driving his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Samuel Dube | Note | His release is good, but his shot isn't particularly special. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Samuel Dube | Note | Dube's finish of the Peeters' pass was pretty, but what a feed he got there. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Samuel Dube | Summary | Hockey is all about work rate and effort for Dube. He has speed and agility and a drive to always make an impact. Never stops moving, never stops working. Maybe he doesn't have the high-end skills but he makes up for it with constant pressure on the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Senna Peeters | Note | Lacks acceleration but gets decent speed. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Senna Peeters | Note | Playing on the top PP unit with Groulx, Lavoie, etc. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Senna Peeters | Note | Protects the puck through the neutral zone then makes a fine pass for a clean zone entry. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Senna Peeters | Note | Want to see him going harder on the backcheck on that one. He was slow to make his way back to the zone at the end of a shift. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Senna Peeters | Note | My first gasp of the game comes at 10:21 left in the third when Peeters laced a pass from his own blue line at the right side boards, up to middle ice at the far blue line, splitting two defenders and hitting Dube perfectly, who then skates in for a clean breakaway goal. What a gorgeous pass that was! | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Senna Peeters | Note | Another hard, accurate pass at a distance. He can dish the long-range passes. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Senna Peeters | Note | Nice block in OT. I like this kid. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Senna Peeters | Summary | First time watching Peeters, and the son of a Belgian player and coach showed the kind of solid, fundamental play that would be expected from a coach's kid. His passing is his strongest asset at this point, but he also shows good feet and a high hockey iq. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Zachary LHeureux | Note | In his own zone, aggressive to go out to the point and attack the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Zachary LHeureux | Note | Looks well-balanced on his skates, takes a hit, keeps his feet and maintains puck possession. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Zachary LHeureux | Note | Earns an assist by driving the net, protecting the puck with a Halifax defender literally draped over his back, turns and finds his man on the doorstep. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Zachary LHeureux | Note | Gets a puck at the point, looks off the defender and passes diagonally to the right circle to an open player. Like the vision and the confidence. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Zachary LHeureux | Note | Tries to line up Lavoie and whiffs. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Zachary LHeureux | Note | Already a good skater, by his draft year he should be excellent or better. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Zachary LHeureux | Note | Edges and hands make him elusive with the puck. And he's willing to go to the hard areas of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Zachary LHeureux | Note | Doesn't seem to mind contact, either taking and initiating. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Zachary LHeureux | Note | He seems to like to go to the crease and look for tips or rebounds. He's always around the paint when he's in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Zachary LHeureux | Note | Bobbles a pass attempt, but regathers, sees a lane, and rips a well-disguised shot the gets deflected out of play. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Zachary LHeureux | Summary | The rookie forward and 2021-eligible player is already playing at better than a point-per-game. He plays a skilled game while not afraid of getting his hands dirty. Plays around the crease, and takes the puck to the net. But that doesn't mean he is just a grinder. He can skate, uses his stocky frame well (5'11, 194 pounds) and has a good shot. He also plays a smart game in his own end, so he's a commodity in all game situations. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/25/2019 | 11/3/2019 | 10198 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Moves the puck with patient simplicity. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Uses his stick so adeptly, whether its lifting sticks, creating space, positioning and tying opponents. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Gets a little physical at his own blue line, cross checks the puck carrier and creates a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Doesn't have elite speed, but he's fast. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Beautiful pass, diagonal to the far post for an easy tap-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Sees the ice so well, and his stick is an extension of his vision: he sees the pass and makes it. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Good view of Lafreniere at full stride. He's improving, and will continue to get better. Likely to have excellent NHL speed by the time he is 19 or 20. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Puck on his stick, slides to his right to open a lane, wrists one just wide. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Another display of excellent stick skills as he lifts the puck carrier's stick, takes the puck and moves it to a teammate. So fast and smooth. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Christian Krygier | Note | Battling Noel in front of the net, matching his strength and mobility, good physical position. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Christian Krygier | Note | Handles Veleno who tries to power around him, using stick, body position and leverage to get the job done. Good effort, there, against a top prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Christian Krygier | Note | Corrals a puck in the corner, then skates it hard right at to Canadian forecheckers, but one-hands it up the boards for a forward to finish the breakout. Daring, but effective. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Jacob Bernard-Docker | Note | Manning his spot at the crease, active eyes, keeping track of the play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Jon Gruden | Note | Killing penalties, stick on ice, blocking shots. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Jon Gruden | Note | Gets a nice pass from Zegras but can't handle it cleanly and he loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Kevin Bahl | Note | Lots of height and range, good agility, maybe lacking a step. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Kevin Bahl | Note | Gets beaten by York to the outside, sticks a leg out and trips him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Kevin Bahl | Note | He has the size, but lacks the fluid mobility and lateral quickness he'll need going up the ladder. Must work on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | Has good speed getting up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | Draws a holding penalty by keeping his feet moving in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | Reads the play so well. Intercepts a pass turns up ice, then drops between his legs to create a chance. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | End of a long shift, he gets his body between the puck and a much larger Canadian player, boxing him out of the play and winning the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | Takes a pass at speed on the right-wing boards, tangles with the defender and goes down, but keeps puck control, regains his feet, stops and wires a pass to the top of the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | First step is excellent. He can close distance with one push. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | A remarkable feed as he carries over the blue line, stops and shifts left on one foot, then whips a blind pass to Johnson entering on the right boards. Johnson scores, but that was all Robertson. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Nolan Foote | Note | On the same powerplay shift, taking up residence in the right-wing circle, he bricked two incoming passes. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Oliver Wahlstrom | Note | It's rare that a goalie gets a clean stop on Wahlstrom's shot. He makes rebound control nearly impossible. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Oliver Wahlstrom | Note | A lot to like about his game, but he still needs to work on agility and quick turns. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Riley Damiani | Note | Skating is fine but he needs to tighten up his acceleration and first steps. He's leaving something behind right now. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Serron Noel | Note | Looks so fast and strong screaming up the right-wing length of the ice, the throws a hard, hard wrist shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Thomas Harley | Note | Footrace for a loose puck skittering up the length of the ice. Janicke was maybe a step faster over the distance, but Harley easily held his own. Then, after Harley gathered the puck, Janicke was faster on the sweeping turn and stripped the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Trevor Janicke | Note | Understands that the puck is about to come to him in his own zone, has his head up looking for his next move so when the puck comes, he already knows what he wants to do. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Trevor Janicke | Note | Footrace for a loose puck skittering up the length of the ice. Janicke was maybe a step faster over the distance, but Harley easily held his own. Then, after Harley gathered the puck, Janicke was faster on the sweeping turn and stripped the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/3/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10197 |
Aku Raty | Note | Speedy player, good edges. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Aku Raty | Note | Moves the puck quickly with strong wrists. The puck jumps off his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Aku Raty | Note | Hard-working shift in an extended board scrum. He keeps active, wins the battle. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Aku Raty | Note | Wide feet to use edges to moderate speed and angles. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Aku Raty | Note | His stick is active in his own end, maintaining good gap distance and stick on pucks and in lanes. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Aku Raty | Note | Not creating a lot of offense, but playing solid in all zones. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Aku Raty | Summary | There's a lot to like about his game, his high work rate, skating ability, defensive abilities. He is constantly hassling the puck and trying to make something happen. However, he did not really generate any offensive chances in this game. Made some nice passes, but he ended the game without a shot on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Curtis Hall | Note | Clean faceoff win. A little sluggish off of his turns, but his first couple of steps look okay. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Curtis Hall | Note | Mechanics look good skating up ice. Not overly fast yet but he has a base to build from. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Curtis Hall | Note | Good angle, gets leverage and dumps Ranta off the puck as he tries to enter the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Curtis Hall | Note | Big strides make him above average to good straight line, but needs a bit more jump. Balance is a little suspect. Battling in front of the net but getting great skate strength and struggling to hold position. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Curtis Hall | Note | Better shift from him. Had a couple of nice puck moves, but mostly just working hard around the net, then gets a puck and wrists it home from four feet out. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Curtis Hall | Summary | A bit hit or miss in the game, but he has good size and is an okay skater with what looks like a good foundation for improvement. He worked hard, but at times seemed to be chasing the play a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Jake Pivonka | Note | Sloppy backhand pass towards the point that was covered, putting his defender into a tricky spot with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Jake Pivonka | Note | Backhands a puck in the neutral zone that is just a clean giveaway. Not a wise play. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Jake Pivonka | Note | Trying to get out of his zone, nearly gives the puck away, regains control, then passes straight to a Finnish defender at the opposite blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Jake Pivonka | Note | Puck slips out of reach while pushing through the neutral zone and he puts his teammates offsides. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Jake Pivonka | Summary | My opinion on Pivonka has not really changed over the last year. He's a good hockey player, but looks like a bottom-six workhorse who will kill penalties and play hard on every shift, but not contribute a lot to the offense. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Takes the puck behind his own net, powers up ice through the middle then unleashes a hard, low, far-side wrist shot from distance that almost beats the Finnish goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Note on Miller's defensive play: he just took a nice angle on the puck carrier in the neutral zone. Last year he misread that play consistently. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Just got undressed by Kivenmaki, who left Miller standing still looking at his own feet for puck and Kivenmaki was already behind him. Yikes. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | His shot is so powerful. He just wristed one that hit Drury--a tough kid--in the stomach and it looked like he was truly suffering on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Kim Nousianen | Note | Like a lot of his puck decisions, but a couple have been clunkers. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Lassi Thomson | Note | Clever bounce pass off the corner boards relieves pressure and frees a forward to skate the puck out of the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Lassi Thomson | Note | Slow to get up after a tangling behind his net, but he gets back into the play and throws a hit on the half boards. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Lassi Thomson | Note | Joins a rush but feet get tangled up with a US player and they both spill across the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Lassi Thomson | Note | Up two goals in the third, crosschecks a US forward into the net. Two minutes shorthanded that the Finns didn't need. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Lassi Thomson | Summary | Played well in the game, used his feet and intelligence a lot to make good little plays that helped his team. He still has work to do to develop and improve his game but the tools are there, no question. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Parker Ford | Note | Gets up to speed in two steps, tight turns, active skater. Allows him to change direction and fool incoming puck carriers in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Parker Ford | Note | Fending off the defender, cuts behind the net, then backhands one through the crease but there was no one there to get a stick on it. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Parker Ford | Note | Can't catch up to Sampo Ranta who gets a clean breakaway goal. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Trevor Zegras | Note | Puckhandling at and below the goal line, buzzing the net, the Finns can't take it away from him. Then he makes a wonderful little pass to the top of the paint that made me gasp. Wow! | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Trevor Zegras | Note | Same shift, deft little change of angle and he hits the post from the top of the circle. Man, I like watching this kid play. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Trevor Zegras | Note | Again on the same shift, brings the puck back into the offensive zone using one hand and cutting between a couple of Finnish players for a clean zone entry. Sensational shift. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Trevor Zegras | Note | Exceptional vision. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Ville Heinola | Note | Puck in the offensive zone, Finland cycling, Heinola cuts diagonally through the slot, but turns as the puck comes to him and Heinola has to go collect it in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Ville Heinola | Note | Keeping position at the net, attentive, composed. Good stick lift to prevent an opportunity at the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Ville Heinola | Note | Playing top of the umbrella on the powerplay, really nice leg fake that opened a lane but his shot was saved. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Zac Jones | Note | Short strides without extension but gets decent speed regardless. Makes a quick one-touch pass on a loose puck. Good awareness on that play. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Zac Jones | Note | Quick wrist shot while sliding right along the blue line (he's a left-handed shot) | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Zac Jones | Note | Good gap and stick pressure creates a turnover in the left-wing circle. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Zac Jones | Note | Looks confidant handling the puck, either in transition or managing the point. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Zac Jones | Note | Could be more careful with the puck in his own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Zac Jones | Note | Bad shift: nearly turns the puck over in his own zone, then up ice gets easily knocked to the ice and the puck goes the other way. Then back at his own zone, he loses his man and the result is a goal against. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Zac Jones | Note | Trails the rush into the offensive zone and makes himself easily available in the high slot. Kaliyev finds him but the Jones wrist shot is saved. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Zac Jones | Summary | Jones was just okay for me in this game. Above average skating but nothing special. Moved the puck okay but made some questionable choices with the puck. Showed an okay shot, and was mostly good in his own zone. Just nothing exceptional on display in this contest. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs USA (WJSS 2019) | 8/2/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10196 |
Akil Thomas | Note | Gets position in front of the net, then gets a good tip and low point shot and deflects it up and into the net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Akil Thomas | Summary | I wasn't watching him in this game but he did everything he could to be noticed. Had two key blocked shots on rockets from the point. Had the tip-in goal. Worked hard on every shift and used every weapon he had to make an impact. He looks more promising every time I see him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Alex Newhook | Note | Seeming a bit passive so far, but when he has the puck, the Swedish defenders can't take it away from him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Alex Newhook | Note | Drives to the net without the puck, and a great pass finds him at full speed, but his one touch try goes just wide of the net. Great play all around. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Alex Newhook | Summary | Looked more tentative in this game but his smart play with the puck and attention to the game was still evident throughout. He needs a couple of years of quality competition to help develop his game. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Braden Schneider | Note | Does well to maintain position and body up against a charging and deking Raymond, and is able to slow the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Braden Schneider | Note | Gets caught way up ice, and a two-on-two goes the other way, but it takes Schneider a long time to get back into the play. Needs more hustle there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Braden Schneider | Note | Catches the heavy-footed Cederqvist cutting into the zone and just levels him with a well-placed shoulder check square into the chest. Oooof! | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Braden Schneider | Summary | There's a lot to like in Schneider's game, including his mobility and positioning, on top of his willingness to bring physical play to his own zone. At 6'2 and 210 pounds, the 2020 draft-eligible needs attention. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Carson Focht | Note | Little steps to shift position, keeps his stick on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Carson Focht | Note | Generates good speed while carrying the puck up ice, can't find an outlet as carries through the offensive zone, so he tries a wraparound, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Filip Cederqvist | Note | Feathers a pass through the neutral zone and hits his target perfectly. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Filip Cederqvist | Note | Skating looks labored. He's not dynamic on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Filip Cederqvist | Note | Not seeing a lot of creativity from Cederqvist, but he uses his stick well and is engaged in the play in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Filip Cederqvist | Summary | Although he has some skill, Cederqvist is too mechanical and deliberate at this point. You can see the ability, but he just doesn't have the footspeed or creativity to capitalize to any degree. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Gabriel Fortier | Note | Hard stop, turns back, throws a shoulder into the defenseman trying to find the exit pass. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Gabriel Fortier | Note | Hard up the right-wing boards with the puck, sends a good backhand pass to the slot for a quick chance. Then, circles around the net and throws a hit on the puckcarrier at the half boards. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Gabriel Fortier | Note | Swivels his hips to adjust on his edges and ready himself to change directions. Smooth and active player. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Gabriel Fortier | Note | Having a big impact in the first period, either with his hands, his feet or his smarts. He seems to be the most active player on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Gabriel Fortier | Note | His work on the boards wins a puck, and it goes quickly to the top of the crease where Groulx sends it into the net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Gabriel Fortier | Note | Killing penalties, gets the puck up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Gabriel Fortier | Note | Follows the play as Focht tries a spinning shot, then collects the rebound and scores. Good awareness and energy got him to the right spot again. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Gabriel Fortier | Note | Outworking his opponents on every shift. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Gabriel Fortier | Summary | Fortier was all over the ice in this game, highly effective in all three zones, showing hands, speed and determination to make his mark on the game, which he did with a goal and an assist and just general hard-working play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Jonatan Berggren | Note | Has been the best forward for the Swedes in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Lucas Raymond | Note | Puck battle in the corner, two against two, and Raymond comes away with the puck and gets the offense going. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Lucas Raymond | Note | So fast to get to loose pucks, great burst from a standstill. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Lucas Raymond | Note | Just schooled Tychonick in the corner--turned him, faked him, got around him for loose puck. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Lucas Raymond | Summary | Less effective in this game than he could have been, which really describes the entire Swedish offense. Still, he won puck battles, displayed speed and quickness and some highly clever passing plays. He's a top talent that was stymied here. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Nikola Pasic | Note | Uses quickness and hands to work the puck around Lavoie, then turns on the speed through the neutral zone for a clean entry. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Nikola Pasic | Note | One time try goes over the top of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Nikola Pasic | Note | Flashes speed again with the puck powering through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Nikola Pasic | Note | Tries a fancy move to get around Byram, who will have none of that. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Nikola Pasic | Summary | Skating is much improved in a straightline, though his agility still needs work, but it’s a good sign that he is improving. Shows a lot of energy with and without the puck and continues to be a work in progress. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Philip Broberg | Note | If Broberg can develop his offensive game, he will be an awesome NHL defender. Until then, he'll be a premier shut-down guy who can lead a breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Serron Noel | Note | He's flying. Long legs get him good pace and power. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Serron Noel | Note | Tries to deke around Ginning, but loses the puck at the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Serron Noel | Note | His acceleration is quite good despite his size. Needs more time to develop, but I like a lot of the tools. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Thomas Harley | Note | Harley can skate. Fast, fluid, mobile, uses his feet to position his body and shield pucks to buy an extra second against forecheckers. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS) | 7/31/2019 | 9/7/2019 | 10195 |
Bobby Brink | Note | I don't like how he moves. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Bobby Brink | Note | Sloppy, sludgy first steps. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Bobby Brink | Note | He really needs a skating coach. His feet move, but his body goes nowhere. It's a liability for him even at the U18 level. A defender just closed on him with two strides. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Bobby Brink | Note | I'm just going to say it: Brink will get destroyed by NHL defenders. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Cole Caufield | Note | Slides left, and the shot flies off his stick. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Cole Caufield | Note | Bomb one-timer from the left circle, but a big save from young Askimov. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Cole Caufield | Note | I like him when he's shooting the puck, but not as much when he's trying to do other things. But his shot is lethal. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Cole Caufield | Note | Shot leaps off his stick from careening angles. There is no warning at all. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Daniil Gushin | Note | Tries to shake Fensore with a move, but can't dislodge him. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Daniil Gushin | Note | Smart defender and a good penalty killer. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |

Dmitri Sheshin | Note | Good speed, goes hard without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Dmitri Sheshin | Note | Gets back to cover for a defender that pressured up the ice into the neutral zone and got tangled up. Good awareness from Sheshin there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Dmitri Sheshin | Note | Killing all of the penalties. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Dmitri Sheshin | Note | Stick lift to strip Hughes of the puck behind the US net, then gets it to the front of the net to find Amirov all alone in front of Knight, and Amirov buries it for the short-handed goal. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Dmitri Sheshin | Note | Plays a physical game without crashing around. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Domenick Fensore | Note | Fast skater, quick stick, time on the powerplay, pushing the puck in the offensive zone with speed and intent. Nice wrist shot, too. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Domenick Fensore | Note | Gushin tries to head fake and change direction, but Fensore sticks to him and pushes the play behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Domenick Fensore | Note | Fensore is an underrated defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Ilya Nikolayev | Note | Wide feet, heavy stride but movement looks okay. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Ilya Nikolayev | Note | Looks big, can get up to a good speed given time, but he's a diesel out there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Ilya Nikolayev | Note | Drives the puck up ice, but his head is down the whole way. Average speed, but he had to really work hard to try to beat the defenders into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Ilya Nikolayev | Note | Hard pass to the crease, working the right side on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Ilya Nikolayev | Note | Puckhandling sequence on the right side boards that was fun to watch. His hands are good, but you don't see it a lot from him. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
John Beecher | Note | Uses his balance and edges to stay at good speed while gliding. Saving energy but staying active. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
John Beecher | Note | Very good straight-line speed. Gets strong push on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
John Beecher | Note | Dumps the puck then goes and gets it. Perfect descriptor of his game. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
John Beecher | Note | Using his length to protect the puck in the offensive zone, trying to set up a play. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
John Beecher | Note | Has that kind of long-legged stride that is deceptive in its ability to gain territory with just a few steps. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
John Beecher | Note | Beecher is a good possession player. It's hard to take the puck away from him. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
John Beecher | Note | Again, dumps it into the corner, beats the defender to the puck, then holds him off until help arrives. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Wide stick trying to take the corner but the defender cuts him off. With one hand and the puck out, he stops and turns the play, fights off the defenseman and gets a good shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Marat Khusnutdinov | Note | Good turns, nice deep lean and tight cornering. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Matthew Beniers | Note | Better skater than Brink, gets good speed to get through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Semyon Chistyakov | Note | Not watching him this game, but he has been getting my attention anyway with smart plays in both ends, and rapid puck movement. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Semyon Chistyakov | Note | Wires a long wrist shot low through traffic to tie the game. There was a lot of juice on that shot. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Yegor Spiridonov | Note | Gets beaten easily by Turcotte in a foot race. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Yegor Spiridonov | Note | Again lagging the play back to his own end. It takes him a while to get up to speed, but his top end isn't bad. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Yegor Spiridonov | Note | Power move curling from the left side to the front of the net, but got defended off the play. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Yegor Spiridonov | Note | Gets a one-touch snap shot off from the slot, but Knight flashes the glove hand for the save. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Yegor Spiridonov | Note | Powerplay time on the second unit. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10194 |
Alex Newhook | Note | Good acceleration, keeps his stick on the ice and ready when space opens up. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Alex Newhook | Note | He's quick, makes good anticipatory reads. Good puckhandler. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |

Alex Newhook | Note | His first few steps are great, generates fluid power and covers a lot of ice in a couple of strides. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Alex Newhook | Note | Blocks a shot, then dives to poke the puck out of danger. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Alex Newhook | Note | Around the net, stick on the ice, waiting for a puck. When it gets there, he kicks it to his stick, shoots in tight, saved, grabs the rebound and shoots again and scores. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Alex Newhook | Note | Has a lot of patience when the pucks come to him. He looks more at ease with the puck than without it, and he seems fine making puck moves under pressure and finding the right play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Alex Newhook | Note | Great backcheck, tracks down the puck carrier at the blue line and takes the puck away. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Alex Newhook | Note | Subtle, nifty move: A play of the blue-line boards, he pokes the puck away then ducks and glides through traffic to pick the puck up on the other side. Smart. Crafty. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Alex Newhook | Note | Definitely a pass-first player, but I think it’s because he's so damned good at it. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Alex Newhook | Note | Another nice stick play as he reaches out, lifts a stick, then sweeps the puck to the halfboards where only he can collect it. Then his no-look, backhand pass was sick! Kid sees everything. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Alex Newhook | Note | Passes are accurate and beautiful. Pure playmaker. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Alex Newhook | Summary | He's 5'10, but he plays with such command of the game around that he does not appear to be that small. Excellent skater, but where his game stands out from the rest is his amazing vision, passing and puckhandling. Very patient with the puck. A top prospect playmaker who can center or play on the wing. NHL-caliber talent. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Brayden Tracey | Note | Looks remarkably thin. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Brayden Tracey | Note | Set up a good three-way sequence, but after his initial pass, he didn't move his feet and the play fizzled out. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Brayden Tracey | Note | Short strides but he gains speed well. Could become faster and a more powerful skater if he wants it. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Connor Zary | Note | An opportunistic player. Solid in his own end, then suddenly he's making something happen. Really good wraparound goal to tie the game in the third period. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Dylan Cozens | Note | Cozens has a lot of great tools, but sometimes he looks a little too predictable. Still, he's a top talent. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Dylan Cozens | Note | When Cozens wants to skate he can fly. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Isac Andersson | Note | Long strides, gets him to a nice top speed. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Isac Andersson | Note | Same shift, and Tomasino accelerated past him with ease, but Andersson caught up to as Tomasino slowed into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Isac Andersson | Note | Quick hands to turn a sharp pass into a shot, but he was robbed point blank. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Isac Andersson | Note | A bit awkward on the ice. His turns are kind of clunky, and he waits for the game instead of making things happen. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Isac Andersson | Summary | Not a lot of standout qualities, but he has the basic toolkit of a professional hockey player with a chance of making the NHL but more likely an AHL-level player. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Jakob Pelletier | Note | I wish he was faster. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Jamieson Rees | Note | Fast into the corner and tries to throw a hit on Bjornfot but misses most of it. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Jamieson Rees | Note | Nice wrister on target. Toe drag in front of the defender to get a clean angle, then fired it low. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Jamieson Rees | Note | Will throw his body around, no doubt. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Jamieson Rees | Note | Nice wraparound attempt, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Jamieson Rees | Note | A loose puck finds him and he's off on a half-breakaway. One move, puts the puck in the pads but draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Jamieson Rees | Note | Rees has one mode: GO! | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Jamieson Rees | Note | Forehand, backhand, forehand saved. That was a great dangle that came to nothing, but offensive moves of the game for him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Jamieson Rees | Summary | Energy player who makes things happen on the ice. Always going, forechecks, backchecks and has some offensive skill, but his career is likely to be that of a bottom six pest. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Karl Henriksson | Note | Changes front to back with fluidity and simplicity, makes him look comfortable when the puck gets turned over. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Lucas Raymond | Note | Generates a prime chance out of nothing. So good with his hands and feet. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Lucas Raymond | Note | Turns tight circles. Fantastic edge work. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Lucas Raymond | Note | I love this kid's game. Man, can he play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Lucas Raymond | Summary | Raymond is a special player, the kind of top prospect forward who gets everyone on their feet when he touches the puck. He telegraphed some passes and overworked some plays, but his skating, agility and balance with the puck on his stick, and his laser shot make him an likely top-five pick in 2020 and young player with a lot of promise. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Samuel Poulin | Note | Reaching a bit trying to defend in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Samuel Poulin | Note | Little steps but agile. Sort of a straight-ahead, no nonsense player. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Samuel Poulin | Note | Lacks speed up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Samuel Poulin | Note | Goes hard all the time. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Samuel Poulin | Summary | Sturdy frame at 6'1, 212 pounds and he uses it to play a north-south style game. Works hard, drives play up ice, and can show some quality offensive skills along the way. Skating is just a tick above average but not a liability. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Tobias Bjornfot | Note | Bjornfot is a player who controls the tempo of the game whenever he's on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Tobias Bjornfot | Note | Broberg is an excellent defender, but at this point in their development, I like Bjornfot at powerplay qb over Broberg. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |
Tobias Bjornfot | Note | Then, on the same powerplay, he proves the point. Sharp pass to the circle, puck comes back and he fires a hard wrist shot deflected for the go-ahead goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s) | 4/27/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10193 |

Power, finesse, moves, beautiful. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Prince Albert (WHL) | 4/17/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10192 |

Ozzy Wiesblatt | Note | Mostly just floating in the high slot while his team works the perimeter. Went to the top of the crease, took a crosscheck, moved up a bit higher in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Prince Albert (WHL) | 4/17/2019 | 5/9/2019 | 10192 |

Brandon Coe | Note | Engaged in the play all over the ice. Looks like he's anticipating well on that shift. Then throws a nice forecheck hit in the corner. Not only that, but his pressure draws a penalty for delay. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |
Brandon Coe | Note | Getting powerplay time. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |

Jason Robertson | Note | Really lacks the speed he'll need. Just can't close with puck carriers. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |
Jason Robertson | Note | Might be slow, but he sees the game so well, and has the hands to make smart passes with small movements. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |
Jason Robertson | Note | Eyes, hands, brain are all superb, but his feet are holding him back. He doesn't have the mobility to create space, and that will hurt him going forward. He'll need the players around him to create time for him. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |
Kyen Sopa | Note | Can really fly up ice. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |
Mitchell Russell | Note | Comes to the defense of a teammate after a crosschecking. Chippy game. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |
Mitchell Russell | Note | Big guy, looks a little slow, but gets good push from a standstill. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |
Mitchell Russell | Note | Hands are quicker than his feet. He moves his feet fast, but doesn't extend, so he's not maximizing his power potential. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |
Mitchell Russell | Note | Lumbersome trying to turn at speed. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |
Phillip Tomasino | Note | Deking, deking, cutting to the net. Didn't get a shot off, but had two strong attacks at the crease on the same shift. Then a sharp angle shot from down low, saved. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |
Phillip Tomasino | Note | Uses his acceleration to catch up and strip the puck in the offensive zone then a quick pass to set up the offense. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |

Phillip Tomasino | Note | So fast, beats his man to the corner, then works the puck to position and feeds a pass to the slot for an excellent chance. | Brian Fogarty | North Bay vs Niagara (OHL) | 3/29/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10191 |
Albert Johansson | Note | Crafty defensive stick play to fake then tap it into his own corner so he could step around the forechecker and gain a little more time, then make a safe pass behind his own net. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |

Karl Henriksson | Summary | Plays an honest type of game with a high work rate and willing to use his body to make plays. Above-average skating and good hands, but projects more to middle-six upside. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Lucas Raymond | Note | Fantastic move down the left side, dangles the defenseman silly, then rips it far side, clean. Beauty! | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Lucas Raymond | Note | I like his anticipation and reads. Smart plays executed with urgency and ambition. And his stickhandling is excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Lucas Raymond | Note | What a goal! Off balance when the puck finds him in the high slot, and he one-times it while falling and beats the goalie clean. Another beauty! | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Lucas Raymond | Note | In overtime, another shifty move, pulls the puck in and back out and wires one for the golden goal. Amazing hattie in the gold medal game. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Lucas Raymond | Summary | Excellent hands and feet, especially with the puck on his stick. His shot is hard and accurate and his ability to make defenders falter and reach with their sticks at nothing was impressive. Gets his shot away with an instant release from multiple angles. He beat an excellent goaltender three times in this game. A top offensive talent in the making. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Philip Broberg | Note | Using his shot more than the last time I saw him. Just fired one from the top of the circle and rang the pipe. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Philip Broberg | Summary | Skating and poise are Broberg's hallmarks. Not a player who will put up big offensive numbers, but he is a legitimate NHL defender who could play 20 minutes per night and shut down the opponents' top lines. Makes smart reads on the breakout, and if he develops his offensive game, he could be an All-Star in the making. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Rodion Amirov | Note | On the powerplay, skates the puck into traffic and turns it over. Had plenty of options, so that choice looked mindless. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Rodion Amirov | Note | Is able to get shots off quickly from any angle. Dangerous with the puck down low near the net even under pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Rodion Amirov | Note | Flies up ice on a short-handed chance but the pass to him skipped past his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Rodion Amirov | Note | Accelerates well and continues to remain open to the play. Slides into gaps, then bursts to the loose pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Rodion Amirov | Note | Nice, sharp pass to a driving Podkolzin. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Rodion Amirov | Note | Again, good show of hands in tight, finds the puck that drifted off of Podkolzin's stick, and snaps it one-touch past the netminder. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Rodion Amirov | Summary | His game is all hands with an ability to get a shot off while tight in on the goaltender or defender. Showed good speed and edgework, giving him a deceptive and slippery mobility. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Semyon Chistyakov | Note | Aggressive play skating up hard to the red line to break up an outlet pass, then slides back after disrupting the play. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Semyon Chistyakov | Note | Good skater. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Semyon Chistyakov | Note | Quarterbacking the top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Semyon Chistyakov | Note | Shields the puck even under a lot of pressure, fighting off the Swedish forward. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Semyon Chistyakov | Note | Incredibly patient with the puck, using his free hand to ward off forecheckers, and gets the puck out of danger. He does this consistently well. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Semyon Chistyakov | Summary | Smaller defenseman who plays a cerebral game, getting himself into the right position to defend against bigger players, and then using his speed and agility to jump into plays. Passes are crisp and accurate and decisions are consistently good. High-quality puck-moving defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Simon Holmstrom | Note | Moves well, is always facing the puck, then gets back quickly to help when the Russians get the puck to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Simon Holmstrom | Note | Good hands to puckhandle around the top of the zone and avoid trouble. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Simon Holmstrom | Note | Always engaged in the play, at both ends, and he reacts immediately to opportunities. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Simon Holmstrom | Note | Had the puck on his stick at the top of the crease, but took two ticks too long to get the puck settled, and the opportunity evaporated. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Simon Holmstrom | Summary | Looks like a quality second-line winger NHL talent who will work hard at both ends of the ice and contribute offensively while being defensively responsible. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Tobias Bjornfot | Note | Skates the puck to his own blue line then outlets to an open winger. Simple play done well. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Tobias Bjornfot | Note | This time he skates it to the offensive blue line then drops it into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Tobias Bjornfot | Note | Top of the umbrella on the top powerplay unit. Just made a good, one-time slap pass that became a good scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Tobias Bjornfot | Note | Snappy wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Tobias Bjornfot | Note | Second time in the game that he stepped up after the whistle to get in a Russian's face who was starting stuff. Like this! | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Tobias Bjornfot | Note | Moves well, long, smooth strides, and agile. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Tobias Bjornfot | Summary | Safe player, is willing to skate the puck up ice, but doesn’t make risky plays into traffic. Good skater. Plenty of tools to work with, though he may not have tremendous offensive upside. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Vasili Podkolzin | Note | Loses the puck trying to enter the zone at speed when there were passing options available. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Vasili Podkolzin | Note | Goes hard to the net, pulls the puck to his forehand and scores. Good goal with a defender on his hip. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Vasili Podkolzin | Note | Tries to makes a pass from the right circle to the left circle but missed his target by four feet. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Vasili Podkolzin | Note | Killing penalties late in the second period down by a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Vasili Podkolzin | Note | Drives the right wing, tries to cut in but looses the puck towards the crease. However, Amirov is there and snaps it in. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Vasili Podkolzin | Note | Continues to try to do too much in the game. He's forcing plays everywhere. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Vasili Podkolzin | Note | Rips a powerful wrist shot over the net and rattles the glass. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Vasili Podkolzin | Summary | Looked inconsistent in the game, often trying too hard to take on the play by himself, skating into trouble and forcing plays. His skill is top-five, though, and if he can find the right mix of teammates and be able to rely on them to make his job easier, could become a top-line NHLer. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Yaroslav Likhachyov | Note | Maybe a step slower than average speed. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Yaroslav Likhachyov | Note | Throws a shoulder hit. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Yaroslav Likhachyov | Note | Tries to force a pass and it bounces off a foot and goes behind the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Russia (2019 World U-18s) | 4/28/2019 | 4/29/2019 | 10190 |
Cam York | Note | Willing to play physically against bigger players. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Cole Caufield | Note | He can move. Just got a breakaway, sent wide, then later on the same shift, finds some space at the left circle, Hughes gets him the puck, but Caufield scuffs the one-timer wide. Then he scuffs another one-time attempt later that same shift. Three chances, none made it on net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Cole Caufield | Note | Quick, small, active. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Cole Caufield | Note | Hughes drops a perfect pass for him, and Caufield whiffs again. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Cole Caufield | Note | Working the slot on the powerplay, rebound comes out to his stick and he one-times the puck into the net. Finally got a clean shot away and this was probably the most difficult one to connect with, but he buried it. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Cole Caufield | Note | Can fly in a straight line. 2.5 speed. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Cole Caufield | Note | Quality passer, good vision and game awareness. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Cole Caufield | Summary | Small player at 5'7 and 155 pounds, and although he seems willing to get scrappy, he mostly uses his high-end speed and agility to avoid contact and maneuver into spaces. Seemed to be fighting the puck a lot in this game, and although he fits in on the line with Hughes and Zegras, he was not generating offense on that line as much as getting opportunities. He has tools, but needs to take the next step in involvement and creation. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Henry Thrun | Note | Just got schooled by Mastrosimone, who faked a deke, chipped the puck off the boards, and then just stepped around Thrun to the puck and was in alone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
John Beecher | Note | Looks gangly, and although he looks good on his skates, he also looks like he's trying to adjust to his length. A little slow in pivots, a little awkward changing direction. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
John Beecher | Note | Snaps a hard pass to the crease right on target, but the goalie just got his stick on the puck enough to deflect it away from the target. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
John Beecher | Note | Only just above average speed right now, but if he works on it, he can improve. Mechanics seem okay and adjustable. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
John Beecher | Note | Trying to get to the bench, collides with his teammate who was exiting the defensive zone. Beecher needs to be smarter there. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
John Beecher | Note | Hustles back to get even numbers and prevent an odd-man rush. Showed some speed there. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |

John Beecher | Note | In the leftwing corner of the offensive zone, fires a pass to the slot that had no hope of connecting. There are a lot of things I like in his game, but he has a ways to go. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
John Beecher | Note | Jumps to a loose puck in the crease and pokes it home. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
John Beecher | Note | Makes an excellent cross-ice pass on the rush for an assist. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
John Beecher | Note | He has all the makings of a quality power forward as he works out some of the kinks in his game. Want him to skate hard all the time, though, because when he does, he can actually motor. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
John Beecher | Note | Gets a good look on goal, snaps a wrist shot that comes his stick so fast the goalie barely flinches, but the puck glanced off the netminders shoulder and deflects up over the bar. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
John Beecher | Summary | A power forward type who needs to continue refining his game and improve his overall work rate. He does not seem to take shifts off, and his work ethic seems to be very good or better, he just seems to play at 80 percent or so most of the time. Good shot, big player, has an edge and physicality that he uses effectively. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Marshall Warren | Note | Killing penalties in a pairing with Thrun. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Marshall Warren | Note | Calling for the puck a the point, and when it comes out to him, he fires it wide of the net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Marshall Warren | Note | Has the puck deep in the offensive zone, tries to pitchfork the puck on net, but it's blocked and goes the other way. Warren then with big wheels to get back and beats the play to his own net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Marshall Warren | Note | Does well to remain fluid in the defensive zone but keeps to his responsibilities. Moving, watching, getting into the right spots. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Marshall Warren | Note | Looked calm skating onto a loose puck with a forechecking forward bearing down on him. Watched him in the whole way, made the outlet pass, took the hit. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Marshall Warren | Summary | Two-way defender who can move up and down the ice with ease. Gets involved on the offensive end and looks good in transition. Conscientious in own end, taking good lines and plays positional defense. Nothing stood out as exceptional, but few flaws, either. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Michael Gildon | Note | Nice edgework to find a soft space in the home plate area, then Turcotte feeds him and he one-times it for the first goal. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Patrick Moynihan | Note | Covering the slot on defense, holding position, playing good positionally-aware defense, but when the puck goes up ice, he lags behind, then a turnover and he's not moving his feet at all. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Patrick Moynihan | Note | Accelerates okay, moves laterally okay, but his straight-line speed looks average. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Patrick Moynihan | Note | Nice stick in the lane to break up a pass, good solid fundamentals on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Patrick Moynihan | Note | Follows with a heads-up zone clearance. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Patrick Moynihan | Note | Sharp-angle one-timer misses. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Patrick Moynihan | Note | Always moving, always making himself available when he doesn't have the puck. Goes to the slot, stick on ice, but the puck comes in behind him, so he curls around and attacks the slot again, and this time Gildon finds him and Moynihan one-times it home from just above the crease. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Patrick Moynihan | Note | Like his defensive zone play. Always moving, calling out to his teammates, communicating. Just all-around solid defensive play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Patrick Moynihan | Note | Uses body positioning to protect the puck, but also to preserve play options. Good positional sense and game awareness. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Patrick Moynihan | Note | Takes a hit deep in the offensive zone at the end of a shift, up by four goals late in the third, and still goes back hard to the bench for his change. Love that. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Patrick Moynihan | Summary | Being relied on more in a middle-six two-way role on this team, but he looks like a player that can show more. Good work rate, above-average skater, good hockey smarts and game awareness. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Robert Mastrosimone | Note | Faked a deke, chipped the puck off the boards, and then just stepped around Thrun to the puck and was in alone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Ryder Rolston | Note | Really needs to improve his acceleration. First steps are boggy. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Ryder Rolston | Note | Carries the puck into the offensive zone, then spins off the wall and throws a backhand pass into a crowd of defenders. Needs better awareness there. He was all alone, and would have been better off either dumping the puck into the corner or pealing back and resetting. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Trevor Zegras | Note | Superb pass out to Hughes from behind the net. Lifted through legs and sticks, right on the tape. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Trevor Zegras | Note | Zegras is an excellent hockey player. Needs to work on his move trying to pull the puck around the defender, but otherwise his game is top notch. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL) | 2/16/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10189 |
Alex Vlasic | Note | Good play to push the puck out of his own corner into an empty space on the halfboards where only a teammate could get to it. Smart, smart play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alex Vlasic | Note | Tall, thin, but has some decent agility and movement. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alex Vlasic | Note | Sioux Falls player gets in his face after the whistle, and Vlasic gives it right back. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |

Alex Vlasic | Note | Another solid use of his stick and reach to dislodge a puck and break up a powerplay rush against. Then he cleared the zone, too. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alex Vlasic | Note | Elevates the puck on a hard around and easily clears the zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alex Vlasic | Summary | Tall defender (6'5) who will likely add significant muscle and weight over the coming years. Moves well for his size, with good four-way mobility. Not really an offensive threat, but makes good reads and first pass on the breakout. His reach is a weapon, but in tight he loses effectiveness with his long stick. Not overly physical but does not shy from contact. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alexander Turcotte | Note | Quick release from close in nearly beats the goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alexander Turcotte | Note | Battling at the top of the crease, keeping himself busy and his hands free as the defenseman tries to tie him up. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alexander Turcotte | Note | Good speed, but very wide, bow-legged stride. Crossovers are good, but straight stride is awkward. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alexander Turcotte | Note | Again scrapping for position at the front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alexander Turcotte | Note | Taking the powerplay faceoffs with Hughes on the side. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alexander Turcotte | Note | Looks confident handling the puck under pressure. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alexander Turcotte | Note | Turcotte is a battler. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alexander Turcotte | Note | Taking up a spot at the left post and Hughes finds him with an excellent saucer pass that Turcotte just tips into the net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Alexander Turcotte | Summary | Works hard in the offensive zone and does not shy away from the effort needed to get to scoring areas, with and without the puck. Has a good shot and release, but all of his work is done at the net. He is a scrappy player who looks comfortable in the dirty areas despite not being a huge power forward type. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Cam York | Note | Chasing the puck a bit during the penalty kill, taking himself out of position. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Cam York | Note | Uses his lateral quickness to step into lanes and break up passes or at least discourage attempts. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Cam York | Note | Smart read on a weak hard-around, and he pinches is, keeps the puck low in the offensive zone, then slides back to the point. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Cam York | Note | Speed into the and through the offensive zone with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Cam York | Note | Has a smooth release on his wrist shot, comes off the stick his zip. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Cam York | Note | Awesome gap and positioning to defeat a rush against. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Cam York | Note | Excellent skater and fluid carrying the puck up ice in transition. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Cam York | Summary | Smaller defenseman at 5'11, 165 but he rarely seems overpowered in his own end, and will engage with bigger players. He is fast and agile, and uses his quickness to his advantage to close lanes and change angles on puck carriers. He can skate the puck up ice, and is fast enough to keep up with practically any forward on the ice. An excellent two-way defensive prospect. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Jack Hughes | Note | Okay, I swore I wasn't going to watch or note him, but Hughes just destroyed two Sioux Falls players by puckhandling alone, His back was to the boards and the blue line, but he turned one guy around, pulled the puck around the other and took off. I had to watch it four times because it was just too good. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Matthew Boldy | Note | Speedy and active with his stick | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Matthew Boldy | Note | Slots a nice pass to Turcotte at speed in a scoring area. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Matthew Boldy | Note | Good snap on is wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |

Matthew Boldy | Note | Out on the penalty kill, his lateral movement looks a little slower than his teammates, but this is a fast team. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Matthew Boldy | Note | Up-ice speed on a rush looks good to very good (1 to 1.5) but not a lot better than that. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Matthew Boldy | Note | Able to pick out passes when stickhandling in traffic. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |

Matthew Boldy | Note | Gets his shot off quickly and with effect. Positions his feet and hips well to be able to shoot the puck when it finds him. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Matthew Boldy | Summary | Looks like a complete forward prospect. Moves well, has a good shot, works in the home-plate area of the offensive zone, and commits to his defensive responsibilities. Seems a bit inconsistent with his speed, but he moves well. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Ryder Rolston | Note | Needs to work on his straight-ahead skating. He's kicking high behind him, slowing his return and limiting his speed because of the wasted movement. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Trevor Zegras | Note | Playing wing on Hughes's line | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Trevor Zegras | Note | Tries to pull the puck around a defender at center ice, but turns the puck over and gives up an odd-man rush the other way. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Trevor Zegras | Note | Takes routes through traffic that open him up for incoming passes, creating passing lanes for his puck carrier. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Trevor Zegras | Note | Acceleration is fantastic. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Trevor Zegras | Note | Beautiful little touch pass to release Hughes in on net. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |

Trevor Zegras | Note | Plays the game at a high pace. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Trevor Zegras | Note | Makes good reads and passes at full speed up ice. Just found a puck off of a broken pass and flipped it backhand to Hughes at full speed. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |

Trevor Zegras | Note | Gets stripped of the puck at the end of a shift, and he struggled to get back into the play on the backcheck. Looked tired there, so maybe he should have gotten rid of the puck in the first place instead of trying to make the move. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Trevor Zegras | Summary | He plays the game at a pace that can match a top prospect like Jack Hughes without looking at all out of place. Fast, crafty, great hands in traffic. At times he tries to make the fancy move instead of making a simpler play, but when he's not doing that, his passes and reads are excellent, and he can shoot the puck. Once he simplifies his game, he can become a dangerous skilled forward. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL) | 2/15/2019 | 2/20/2019 | 10188 |
Bowen Byram | Note | Fluid movement patrolling the offensive zone blue line. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |

Bowen Byram | Note | Recognizes plays so fast, then he makes the right decision and the right play whether that means taking a hit, moving his feet or moving the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Bowen Byram | Note | Tries to poke the puck away from Clarke, who steps around him a gets a clean look at the net and scores. Byram should have taken the body there. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Bowen Byram | Note | Skating up ice on a rush with Lavoie, and he easily matched him with speed. Byram can skate. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |

Bowen Byram | Note | I get the sense that if there were four forecheckers closing on him, he still wouldn't look flustered or rush the play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Bowen Byram | Note | Down by a goal, thirty seconds left, and he's standing on the bench itching to get back on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Bowen Byram | Summary | Has the complete tool kit to develop into a force at the NHL level. He has NHL size at 6'1 192 pounds, and his skating is smooth, highly agile and with excellent acceleration and speed. Never hurried, never panicked, gets his team into its best position to convert transitions into offensive pressure. Still needs polishing in his defensive play but not a lot. Looks to be an easy top-ten prospect for the 2019 draft, and could compete for a spot among the second tier after Hughes and Kakko. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Connor McMichael | Note | Moves well, but just got caught a little flat footed after his team turned the puck over, and he had a hard time catching up to the play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Connor McMichael | Note | On his knees next to the goal, working hard, trying to keep the puck alive, gets a backhand shot on net that the goalie covers. Great work while on his knees. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Connor McMichael | Note | Good pass out to the low circle, and he gets buried for his efforts. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Connor McMichael | Note | Enters the offensive zone, has good numbers on the rush, then he jams the puck into the high slot into his linemate's skates. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Connor McMichael | Note | Active stick and feet on the forecheck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Connor McMichael | Note | Another really nice forechecking shift yields another turnover. Just relentless. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Connor McMichael | Note | Scores the game-winning goal on a sharp wrist shot. What I liked was how he seemed to recognize that he had a little space and time, and slowed the game around himself to pick out the right spot to shoot at. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Connor McMichael | Summary | McMichael may not have elite acceleration and top-end speed, but he makes up for it in effort and drive. He does have above average to good mobility, and his mechanics look like he has room to improve, so skating should not be an issue at all. He plays the game hard, constantly pushing into the offensive zone, and is a positive possession player with skill who could develop into a quality middle-six forward at the NHL level. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Graeme Clarke | Note | Looked a little slow with the puck, but he passed it off and then skyrocketed up ice, banging his stick, calling for the puck back. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Graeme Clarke | Note | Comes out of the corner with the puck, turns in the slot and fires a wrist shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Graeme Clarke | Note | Everything is a scoring chance for him. Takes the puck hard to the center, changes angle, wrists one up to the top left corner but Sogaard manages to get a shoulder on it. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Graeme Clarke | Note | Slick hands and moves, turns his back to fake a change of direction then makes a nice pass to the slot. Later in the same shift, he dangles through traffic and beats the netminder with a sequence of moves. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Graeme Clarke | Note | Soft, soft hands. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Graeme Clarke | Summary | Clarke's game revolves around his offensive abilities and scoring drive. As noted, in this game he tried to turn every touch of the puck into a potential scoring chance, either by passing or stickhandling into a shooting space. His maneuverability and puckhandling allows him to slip into space to get a shot away, and if he fails to create that opening, he has the skill to move the puck to a linemate, but when he does he wants the puck right back. Did not look selfish at all, just purposeful and confident. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Jakob Pelletier | Note | Smaller player, shows quickness and the ability to slip into open spaces on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Jakob Pelletier | Note | Working behind the offensive zone net, wins a puck battle, keeps his feet, then finds a good pass option. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Jakob Pelletier | Note | Brilliant vision/pass but Leason wasn't able to convert. That should have been a goal. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Jakob Pelletier | Note | Speed and hands, gets a partial break, forehand to backhand to five-hole goal. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Jakob Pelletier | Summary | Plays at speed and shows the agility and frictionless skating that could allow him to play at the upper levels. Looks highly attuned to the game, showing high-level hockey iq and vision. Can shoot the puck and makes good passing choices to help his teammates get open. Creative and aware. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Jamieson Rees | Note | Nifty puckhandling gains the zone, goes below the goal line, quick backhand pass to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Jamieson Rees | Note | I like his edgework, very good turns and agility | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Jamieson Rees | Note | Uses his speed, pushes the puck forward then outskates Mutala and goes around the defender to get a shot on goal. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Joe Carroll | Note | A few times I've seen him upright, coasting in the offensive zone while the other guys are putting in the effort. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Joe Carroll | Note | Wrist shot looks deliberate. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Joe Carroll | Note | Looked fast and fluid on that shift, generating speed without a lot of wasted movement in his stride. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Joe Carroll | Note | Moving a lot in the offensive zone, but he's just not getting the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Kaedan Korczak | Note | Covers a lot of ice with just a side push and edges from a standing start. Excellent lateral mobility. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Kaedan Korczak | Note | Moves out of position, then misreads his assignment and leaves Kaliyev alone for an easy one-timer goal. Has to be more aware of who that is standing there. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Kaedan Korczak | Note | Speed is above average as he's able to keep up with the rushing forwards. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Kaedan Korczak | Note | Gaps are good, well-positioned, sticks to his man then peels off to allow the switch and guard the strong side of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Kaedan Korczak | Note | Good lateral mobility, looks comfortable moving in all directions. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Kaedan Korczak | Summary | An actual two-way defender with excellent four-way mobility and very good speed. His positioning and awareness in his own end was very good to excellent. A few miscues, but nothing that experience will not improve. Offensively he did not show a lot of creativity or exciting offensive skill, but his passing is sound and his puck decisions were excellent. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Matvey Guskov | Note | Good size, maybe better than average speed, keeps his feet moving. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Matvey Guskov | Note | Digging for the puck during a goal-mouth scramble. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Matvey Guskov | Note | Looks agile and quick in small spaces, but in a straight line his speed his just average or a little better. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Matvey Guskov | Note | Long, effective reach allows him to grab loose pucks before the defender can get to it. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Matvey Guskov | Note | Tries to one-touch a wrist shot and puts it up over the net. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Matvey Guskov | Note | Solid effort everywhere, using his size and body to seal players and then working the crease. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Matvey Guskov | Summary | A hard-working player with good reach and net-front presence. He forechecks, backchecks and works the corners, and shows some scoring ability when given the space to set up. Average speed, but well balanced. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Maxim Cajkovic | Note | Tries to get fancy but loses the puck and fails to make a clean zone exit. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Maxim Cajkovic | Note | Wrist shot that comes fast off his stick. He gets good flex on his wrister. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Maxim Cajkovic | Note | Buzzing now, playing with energy and speed on this shift in particular. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Maxim Cajkovic | Summary | Kept his feet moving, played with intensity and pace throughout the game and although not highly effective offensively, he was able to make an impact on the game during his shifts, mostly through pressure and possession. Did not look like a player with high-end offensive skills, but could be a solid role-player in the pro levels. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nathan Legare | Note | Plays kind of crouched down, but he just threw a nice shoulder check in the corner. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nathan Legare | Note | Almost looks like a wrestler's stance. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nathan Legare | Note | Stick is active trying to break up plays with lifts, pokes, etc. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nathan Legare | Note | Poor angle to a loose puck, and Okhotyuk beats him to it. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nathan Legare | Note | Attentive to his defense in the defensive zone, but he gets a loose puck, turns and tosses it into the bench. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nathan Legare | Note | Has good first few steps, and plays a smart, watchful game when he doesn't have the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nathan Legare | Note | He'll hit, and with his crouched style, he can push hard up into the opponent's chest. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nathan Legare | Note | Big forecheck effort results in a takeaway and then a hard, long-range wrist shot easily saved by the netminder. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nathan Legare | Note | Two solid body checks in the offensive zone as he's trying to get the puck back. Good physical play causing problems for the opposition. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nathan Legare | Summary | Had a lot of notes on him in the game, perhaps because he was so identifiable with his wrestler's crouch style. A hard working, physical player who was excellent on the forecheck and solid on defense in his end. Gave and took hits as necessary, without crossing the line or getting out of position. However, Legare was not effective on offense in the game, and did little to contribute when he had the puck, which may be more indicative of the role he was asked to play in this Top Prospects game more than actual ability. Needs viewings in a different context. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | Spinning backhand pass from the left circle finds Kaliyev waiting at the right circle for the one-timer and the game's first goal. Beautiful pass, great vision. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | What a burst of speed with the puck, just blew past the defense with a change of pace. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | Holy cats! The vision this kid has shown in this game is remarkable, and he just spotted Krebs through all kinds of traffic and delivered a laser pass--spot on--for the goal. Fantastic play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nolan Foote | Note | Big player with okay speed. In this game he looks like he's lacking a step. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nolan Foote | Note | Definitely slower that the pace of this game, but at the crease he is a handful. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Nolan Foote | Summary | Did not make a big impact in this game, despite his hard work. Footspeed needs improvement, but he is a hard working, smart player who looked a bit behind the play in the midst of the talent present in this Top Prospects game. He will need to further develop his game to keep pushing his way up the pro levels. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Oleg Zaytsev | Note | Wins a draw in the offensive zone to set up a powerplay sequence. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Oleg Zaytsev | Note | Serious effort to get back and try to thwart a two-on-one. Found another gear there, too. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Oleg Zaytsev | Note | A step or two slow. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Oleg Zaytsev | Note | Tries a long stretch pass but misses his target and the puck goes all the way down ice for an icing. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Oleg Zaytsev | Note | Lagging the game by a couple of steps, whether its in the offensive or defensive zone. Looks like he is always behind the play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Oleg Zaytsev | Summary | In a game with his class's top prospects, Zaytsev seemed out of place, always a step or two behind the play, struggling to make an impact, always chasing the play. He worked hard, no question about it, but he looked out of sync at both ends of the ice and had an all-around unimpressive showing. In fairness, it could have been a bad time to be off his game, so more viewings are definitely indicated. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Peyton Krebs | Note | Very quick change of direction and first step. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Peyton Krebs | Note | Excellent acceleration and movement with and without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Peyton Krebs | Note | Deflects the point shot, but Jones saves it. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Peyton Krebs | Note | Hustling on defense, getting back to the slot to tie up his man. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Peyton Krebs | Note | Moves the puck with purpose, having already decided what to do with it before it hits his stick. Highly aware of the players around him. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Peyton Krebs | Note | Hard stop where the puck was going, makes the defender go past him, then it’s head up looking for options. Nice play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Peyton Krebs | Note | Capitalizes on a spectacular pass from Robertson. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Peyton Krebs | Note | Takes the puck from behind the net, soft hands, gets the puck to the slot onto Kaliyev's stick, goal. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Peyton Krebs | Summary | Krebs was everywhere in this game and was effective in all three zones. He plays the game at speed and his hockey iq allows him to anticipate the play and make adjustments in full flight. Shows great speed and acceleration, the ability to think the game and use his soft hands to make plays. Has a nice, accurate shot with a fast release. Works hard all the time, and made the game look easy and fun when he was on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Phillip Tomasino | Note | Good balance and strength on his skates, absorbing hits from bigger players and keeping possession. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Phillip Tomasino | Note | Excellent skater in all aspects. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Phillip Tomasino | Note | Doesn't bite on the toe drag as the attacking defenseman tries to deke him. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Phillip Tomasino | Note | Anticipates the play well, shows non-stop motor. Good feet, good hands, but his awareness and effort are his best attributes, I think. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Phillip Tomasino | Note | Does a good job to get loose in the slot, spins and shoots, saved. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Phillip Tomasino | Summary | Tomasino is a player who looks like he plays with a single-minded focus to get the puck on net. If his team doesn't have the puck, he works hard forechecking, attacking puck carriers, doing what it takes to gain possession. When his team does have the puck, he fights to get open, win the little battles to create opportunities and have a chance to score. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Phillip Tomasino | Note | Man, he wants to get the puck on net all the time. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Samuel Bolduc | Note | Big, big player who skates very well for his size (6'4, 210). | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Samuel Bolduc | Note | Uses his body, is physical along the boards, will put a hit on anyone below the goal line. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Samuel Bolduc | Note | Williams tries to deke and turn him, but Bolduc didn't bite, and rides him hard into the boards. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Samuel Bolduc | Note | Puck at the right point, the left-handed shot pulls the puck off the boards, slides to the middle and wrists one hard but over the net. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Samuel Bolduc | Note | Physical in the corner, quick reaction time to changes in the flow of play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Samuel Bolduc | Note | Hard slapshot low but the goaltender swallowed it in his pads. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Samuel Bolduc | Summary | Played very well in his own end and showed the ability to get up ice and join in on the offensive game, as well. Not hugely physical, but smart with his hits and physical play, used more to defend than to punish. Good skater, nice mobility, excellent agility for 6'4, 210 pounds. A really good blueliner prospect. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Samuel Poulin | Note | Parked at the top of the crease on the powerplay, highly active, taking away Jones's sight lines, then he tips the shot, saved, finds the puck at this feet and bangs it home. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Vladislav Kolyachonok | Note | Takes a couple of cracks at skating the puck out of his own zone and the powerplay, but both times he dishes the puck backward and the attack fizzles out. Did not look confident skating the puck out, either. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Vladislav Kolyachonok | Note | Here's a quality subtle play: at the right point, puck comes out hard, and he tries to keep it in but it bobbles a bit, so he turns a shoulder and uses his body to shield the puck from the opposing forward until he can control the puck again and move it to his teammate. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Vladislav Kolyachonok | Note | Another instance wherein he's skating the puck up ice and then tosses it back instead of pushing for a zone entry. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |

Vladislav Kolyachonok | Summary | Looks good at a lot of things but did not stand out as excellent in any one area. Moves well, reads the play well, and shows good defensive and offensive positioning. Never looks out of place anywhere on the ice, and is willing to get up ice to help out on offense. However, he looked like his game still needs to develop before he takes the next big step. However, the skillset is there, no question. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | 1/23/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10187 |
Hunter Campbell | Note | Wrist shot low from the top of the left circle, hard to handle for the goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |

Hunter Campbell | Note | Changes direction with the puck, hard stop and goes the other way. That was surprising. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Hunter Campbell | Note | Killing penalties, working hard on the forecheck, pinning Edmonton's powerplay squad down deep in their own end. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Hunter Campbell | Summary | Good work rate, moves okay with and without the puck but shows just average speed. Shot was okay, but there was little evidence of offensive creativity or scoring ability in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Smaller, has good change of pace to get to a higher gear when needed. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Picks off a pass, fires a wrist shot wide, but that was a dangerous looking play. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |

Jalen Luypen | Note | Switches to backwards skating in the neutral zone because he was reaching back to collect a puck and he takes a hard hit to his back. He'll get smarter about doing that. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Hustles on the backcheck and steals the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Jalen Luypen | Note | Excellent forechecking shift late in the game protecting a one-goal lead, keeping Calgary tied up in the defensive zone as the seconds tick off the clock. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Jalen Luypen | Summary | Smaller player, but plays with energy and is effective at both ends of the ice. Good speed and quickness, and he plays hard with intention, often making an impact on the game during his shifts. Good vision and passing. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Josh Prokop | Note | Shows some agility to adjust and get across to his coverage on the point after his team turns it over in their defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |

Liam Keeler | Note | Fluffs receiving a pass in the high slot in his own zone, and his lack of response, as an opposing player jumps to the loose puck, was astounding. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Liam Keeler | Summary | Looked a bit inconsistent, but showed some aspects of quality play. Not a highly skilled player, but a decent skater with good positioning on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Mark Kastelic | Note | Hard shoulder check into the D trying to move the puck out of the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |

Mark Kastelic | Note | Great size, he's a big man moving around the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Mark Kastelic | Note | Wrestling a guy in the crease, and when the goaltender gives him a jab, he goes at the goaltender, too. Roughing. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Mark Kastelic | Note | Slash. He's spending a good portion of the first period in the box. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Mark Kastelic | Note | Tries to put a hit on the Edmonton defender, who eludes him and turns the puck up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Mark Kastelic | Note | Tries a wraparound, saved. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Mark Kastelic | Note | Below average speed. Always looks like he is laboring to move forward. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Mark Kastelic | Note | Looks lost some times, just trying to front players instead of playing defense. Low game awareness. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Mark Kastelic | Summary | Plays a big, physical game, but does not seem to bring a lot skill to the ice, and he seemed to be overaggressive and out of position. He takes up space in front of the net, but lacks offensive skills in general. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Riley Fiddler-Schultz | Note | Not great acceleration, takes a couple of choppy pumping steps to get going. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Riley Fiddler-Schultz | Note | Taking the puck down the left wing, just kind of skates into the defending forward and loses the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Riley Fiddler-Schultz | Note | Fast through the neutral zone, shows good acceleration and agility, too. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Riley Stotts | Note | Backhand pass through traffic hits a man slicing to the net. Great look, and an awesome pass. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Ryder Korczak | Note | Quick, a little tentative maybe. Haven't seen much of him in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |

Trey Fix-Wolansky | Note | Takes a hit to the get the puck back to the point. Saw it coming, made a safe pass, went down hard. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Trey Fix-Wolansky | Note | Nice burst to get to a loose puck in the neutral zone, zips into the offensive zone and pulls up to set up the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Trey Fix-Wolansky | Note | Calm with the puck, draws defenders to him then dishes, and his passes are accurate. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Trey Fix-Wolansky | Note | Curls with the puck at the left circle on the powerplay, good edges and puck control. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Trey Fix-Wolansky | Note | Dekes a forward, finds a nice look to the bottom right circle. Ellusive and smooth. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |

Trey Fix-Wolansky | Note | Steals the puck, darts into the zone and then toe drags slightly and takes a wrist shot that hits the goalie in the shoulder. Nice play. Deceptive shot. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Trey Fix-Wolansky | Note | Anticipation and game awareness is excellent. He jumps into plays and comes away with pucks consistently. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |

Vladimir Alistrov | Note | Powerplay, tries to change his angle, but flutters a shot into the defenseman's shins. The bounce goes out to the high slot and Robertson wrists it in for the game's first goal. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Vladimir Alistrov | Note | Lacks footspeed, but has good balance when he takes a hit and keeps his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |

Vladimir Alistrov | Note | Speed looks mostly average, maybe a little better at times. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Vladimir Alistrov | Summary | Game needs development, but he looks like a player that has a good foundation of skills. Would do well to improve his skating and patience with the puck, but shows good hands and hockey sense. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Note | Tall. Takes a little hop step to his left, then glides into the slot to monitor the front of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Note | Skating technique/mechanics needs work. Wide strides, doesn't get his feet back below him in front, losing power and speed, and it shows. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Note | Makes a good sharp pass into the neutral zone to get the play moving. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Note | Has nice moves and edges, shoulder fakes, moves the puck. Better mobility than speed. Good puckhandling and passing. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Note | Noteworthy that he's not getting much penalty-killing time. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Note | Good passer. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Note | Long reach and used it there for a poke check that seemed like it came from ten feet away. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Note | Now killing penalties, spins to change direction while covering his man instead of making a clean stop. Slower than he needs to be because of it. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Note | Can really fire a pass when he sees the opportunity. Hard but accurate and generally easy to receive. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Note | Another nice poke check. His play is smart, as it needs to be to cover his lack of footspeed. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Note | Pretty pass through traffic finds Zimmerman in stride for a fast breakout. Same shift, gets the puck at the offensive blue line, pulls the puck around the Edmonton forward, cuts to the high slot then backhands a pass to the left circle. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Note | Patient and confident with the puck, even under a lot of pressure. Uses his reach and length to keep the puck away from forecheckers until he can find the right outlet pass. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Yegor Zamula | Summary | His game is predicated on his passing, stickhandling and intelligence. He shows good lateral movement and edgework, but has below-average speed that limits his overall effectiveness, especially in trying to skate the puck up ice. However, his passing is sharp and accurate, even over long distances. In his own end, he positions himself well and uses his reach and smarts to break up plays before the offensive team can get established. | Brian Fogarty | Calgary vs Edmonton (WHL) | 1/19/2019 | 1/24/2019 | 10186 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Fights through some sticks to get to the puck and tap it back to the point. Good effort. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Doesn't look dynamic when he's carrying the puck. Very deliberate, looks like he has to concentrate on the puckhandling more than looking for the play. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Hovering around the top of the crease, stick on the ice. Later that shift, his body and stick positioning pays off as the puck comes to him from the right side and its an easy one-touch goal from the top of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Killing penalties. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Balance looks suspect under contact. Either he's easily upended, or he's allowing himself to go down trying to draw a call. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Takes a pass, then sharp return to complete the give and go. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Leading a rush, mistimes his lateral pass and puts himself offsides. Whoops. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Skates with his back bent over rather than a deep knee bend. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Not the softest of hands, sometimes struggles with passes or handling. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Alex Johnston | Note | Up 4-1, diving on the ice to block a shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Kind of chops a backhand pass that fluttered three feet into the air but found its target. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Tries to one-hand power to the net, loses an edge and spills into the corner and the puck goes the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Back to the boards in the neutral zone, tries to backhand through close traffic, turned it over. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Comes alive when he gets the puck, stutter step, burst of speed, wrap around attempt that doesn't work but came close. Totally different player with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Same shift, its like getting that chance energized him. Flying around the offensive zone, eventually draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | On the powerplay, just not moving his feet to get back when the puck goes the other way and the Soo get numbers and a shorthanded goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Right circle on the powerplay, wrister misses the net, then a hard one-time slapshot saved. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Calling for the puck, doesn't get it, throws his hand up, looking disgruntled. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Foot speed is lacking most of the time, and his defensive ambition is limited. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Has a series of moves in his tool box to shake defenders. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Chases the puck-carrying defender behind the net and comes out flailing, unable to keep up. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Such a good shot, but I haven't seen him create anything at all on his own in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Oh, but there he made a nice, high-vision pass. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Summary | When I first watched him, I was impressed. But since then he's dropping for me. Bad body language, looks disinterested in anything but shooting and mad when he doesn’t get the puck. But he also doesn't work to try to get it back, either. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Cole MacKay | Note | Nice first step after the opening faceoff. Bursts off the circle, begins a forecheck. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Cole MacKay | Note | Looks like above average straight line speed, but not more than that on this first shift. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Cole MacKay | Note | Constantly moving in all three zones, battling for everything, getting to loose pucks. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Cole MacKay | Note | Nice backhand sauce to his left wing attacker. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |

Cole MacKay | Note | Gets his stick in the lane to break up a cross-crease pass. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Cole MacKay | Note | Shoving and getting in Mattinen's face after Mattinen boarded Hollawell. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Cole MacKay | Note | Powerplay on the left side. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Cole MacKay | Note | Hard one-time slap shot, big flex on his stick, low to the ice, saved but it was difficult for the netminder to handle. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Cole MacKay | Note | Snap shot from the right point, again hard and low to the ice. Kick save to the corner, but the shot was a good one. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Cole MacKay | Note | Good first couple of steps. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Cole MacKay | Note | Took the wrong route up ice when his defenseman had the puck. MacKay was the head man, but he skated directly away from the puck, giving the puck carrier no passing option. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Cole MacKay | Note | Great read on the penalty kill, gets his stick out to pick off a pass, then turns it into a partial breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Cole MacKay | Note | Up 4-1, blocking shots on the penalty kill with 3:40 left, then a great stick lift that anticipated the pass completely disarmed the attacking player in the slot. Excellent play on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Jacob LeGuerrier | Note | Moves well, mobile and active, forwards and back. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Jacob LeGuerrier | Note | Good job to seal his man against the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Jacob LeGuerrier | Note | Another instance of his good positioning to eliminate an opponent from the play. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Jacob LeGuerrier | Note | Tries to keep a puck in at the offensive blue line, but fumbles the puck and the attacker blows past him to start an odd-man rush. His defense partner was in deep, so a safer play would have been a better choice. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Jacob LeGuerrier | Note | Hustles, smooth, active stick and good gaps. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Jacob LeGuerrier | Note | Stays on his man, harassing him with stick checks while maintaining position as he circles the zone, and ultimately wins a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Jacob LeGuerrier | Note | Has the puck with Kaliyev all over him, calmly passes to his D partner. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Jacob LeGuerrier | Note | Hard wrist shot from the blue line, deflected slightly off the Hamilton defender, goes up over the netminders shoulder for a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Jan Jenik | Note | Kind of a bowlegged, wide stride, but moves okay up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Matthew Strome | Note | Skating looks improved since I last watched him. Still not fast by any means, but looks more comfortable and balanced. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Big shoulder hit on the defenseman trying to shoot from the blue line. Lovely and clean. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Anticipates the puck bounce, moves up ice, then tries a wrist shot, deflected up and over the glass. His release looked protracted. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Lacks top end speed but looks okay on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Navrin Mutter | Summary | Interesting player. Size, decent on his feet though he doesn't seem like it, good hands in passing and picking up passes. Drives the net. Hits like a train. Don't know what his ultimate ceiling is yet (middle six?), but I'm curious. Shows good awareness in general. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Super-physical player, strong on his skates, powerful base makes him hard to move. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Buries a Soo puckcarrier trying to curl out to the offensive zone blue line. Clean, solid, booming body check. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Wrecks the other player. The timing and power of his hits are impressive. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Navrin Mutter | Note | Draws a roughing penalty because he was trying to start a fight late in the game. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Rory Kerins | Note | Agile and active. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Rory Kerins | Note | Good speed. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Rory Kerins | Note | Looking a little lost in his own end until ultimately he gets called for interference. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Rory Kerins | Note | Willing to get down and block shots. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Tim Fleischer | Note | Gets the puck in his own zone, calm through traffic and makes a clean breakout pass. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Tim Fleischer | Note | Like his movement without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Tim Fleischer | Note | Scrappy, fighting for every puck, using stick, feet, whatever it takes. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Tim Fleischer | Note | Decent speed, but noting spectacular. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Tim Fleischer | Note | Hustles back on a good line to cut off MacKay's breakaway chance. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Tim Fleischer | Note | Telegraphs a lot of his offensive play. | Brian Fogarty | Sault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL) | 12/15/2018 | 1/10/2019 | 10185 |
Alex Beaucage | Note | Takes a hard hit on the end boards in order to move the puck up around the corner. Then he's up through the middle of the ice to lead the team into the offensive zone. Hustle. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Alex Beaucage | Note | Tries to turn the corner against Ryczek, can't get it done. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Alex Beaucage | Note | Powerplay time on the right side. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Alex Beaucage | Note | Like his work behind the offensive zone net, working for pucks, finding options, creating stuff for his team. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Alex Beaucage | Note | Wins a lot of physical battles on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Alex Beaucage | Summary | Steady player with offensive upside who plays hard, particularly down low and behind the nets. Has good speed, is well balanced, but does not show tremendous quickness or agility. A north-south player with good work ethic. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Cole Stewart | Note | Right side of the right faceoff circle, working hard to get the puck on the end line, feeds it to the slot and McLeod manages to bang it in. Hardworking play by Stewart. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Cole Stewart | Note | Okay speed, not outstanding. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Jared McIsaac | Note | McIsaac back on the ice. Grimacing on the bench, though. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Justin Barron | Note | Showing off his wheels, flies up through the neutral zone with the puck. Made everyone else on the ice look slow. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Noah Dobson | Note | Mostly quiet period, but he's joining rushes, throwing his body around, and making a quiet impact on the game. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Noah Dobson | Note | Calm at the point, a general directing his powerplay troops. Moves the puck. Takes big shots. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Noah Dobson | Note | Dobson sneaks down to the left circle, all alone, and when the puck comes to him, only a diving Gravel save keeps Dobson off of the scoresheet. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Noah Dobson | Note | Super confident skating the puck out of his zone, goes through three or four Halifax players and enters the offensive zone cleanly. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Noah Dobson | Note | His passes on the powerplay always seem to have the right weight and placement to allow his linemates clean one-timers. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Noah Dobson | Summary | He has all the tools and uses them extremely well. His shot is big from the point, and his passing is smooth and accurate. Controls tempo on both offense and defense. His physical play is understated, but he will throw hard shoulder challenges and he uses his size and balance to leverage other players off balance. I saw at least two times in this game where he showed a shoulder check and made the Halifax attacker turn away from the contact. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Patrik Hrehorcak | Note | Heavy feet at the end of a first-period shift. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Patrik Hrehorcak | Note | Good, hard shoulder hit, then a burst up ice, and a hard slapper on net when the puck comes to him off the end boards. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Patrik Hrehorcak | Note | Tries to line up a hit on Flower, who then dipped to his side and Hrehorcak crashes into the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Patrik Hrehorcak | Note | Nice play, battling low, takes a hit that could have been called for boarding, but gets up, comes out with the puck, then fires it to the front of the net, where Teasdale rams it home. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Patrik Hrehorcak | Note | Takes a stretch pass, goes hard into the zone for a two-on-one chance, then pulls up a bit, waiting, and hits his left winger for a deke and a goal. Nice patience, good choice, right play. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Patrik Hrehorcak | Summary | Physical player that works hard, but lacks the footspeed or creativity to become a top-six player. Does the dirty work to get the puck to others for scoring chances, but not a set-up player or a legitimate scoring threat. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Looking like he's playing with good energy to start the game, fast through the neutral zone, even going good on the backcheck. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Feathers a pass to the cutter, who never saw it coming and kicks it into the corner. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Flying through the neutral zone without the puck, attacking on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Heads up long stretch pass finds Asselin at the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Finds some open space in the high slot, gets the puck, hits the post. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Lavoie hits another post. He beat Harvey clean on a snap shot from just inside the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Raphael Lavoie | Summary | Much better effort in this game than I saw from him earlier in the season. He had a lot of jump, was active at both ends, moving well without the puck, and he had several excellent looks at the net. I'm still not sold on his overall creativity or ability to generate quality chances on his own, but when he's active, he find space on the ice and takes advantage of it, either with his shot or by finding open teammates. Definitely an NHL-level talent, depending on his effort level. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Samuel Dube | Note | Good hands at the crease on the powerplay, but a flashing right pad saves the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Samuel Dube | Note | Moves well, but doesn't seem to have the kind of elusive, explosive skating needed for a smaller player, yet. He's only 16. (Currently listed at 5'8, 153 pounds) | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Samuel Dube | Note | Making himself available for outlet passes, and when they come, he handles them smoothly and pushes the puck up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Samuel Naud | Note | Above average speed, but just got caught turning up ice before his team had full puck possession. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Samuel Naud | Note | Fighting for a spot in front of the net, hitting and taking hits. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Samuel Regis | Note | Slapshot from the point goes wide. Not the hardest shot, either. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Samuel Regis | Note | Good mobility going backwards, edges, cuts, solidly balanced. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Samuel Regis | Note | Goes for the SDM™ and Morand lifts the puck over his sprawling body, finds Getson's stick. Goal. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Samuel Regis | Note | Okay skating the puck out of his zone, but doesn't look threatening. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Samuel Regis | Note | Throws a puck to the net from the blue line, looked like it was going well wide of the net, but hit something and ends up as Regis first goal in the QMJHL. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Samuel Regis | Summary | Small, smooth skater, but more of a puck mover than an offensive defenseman at this stage. Perhaps he will be able to develop that part of his game, but is shot seems lacking, so he does not seem to be a threat from the point that makes defenders take notice. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Walter Flower | Note | McIsaac takes a big hit, and Flower goes after Teasdale. Not a great hit, so the Flower reaction was warranted. McIsaac leaves the game with an apparent leg injury. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Walter Flower | Note | Good positioning, then a quick poke check to break up a play. Positioning has been sound throughout the game. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Walter Flower | Summary | Stay-at-home player who shows good mobility, very good positioning and smart effort in the defensive zone. Will use his body as necessary, but is not a big hitter. He lifts sticks, shows good gap awareness and strong board battling. | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Xavier Parent | Note | Haven't noticed Parent much in the game, but in the third period he's flying throughout the offensive zone, works his way to the net, finds a puck, spins and plants it to the tie the game. Speedy, hard-effort shift catches my attention, then he scored! | Brian Fogarty | Rouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 1/14/2019 | 1/10/2019 | 10184 |
Alexandre Payusov | Note | Reaching with his stick instead of taking the extra step to cut off the lane. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Alexandre Payusov | Note | Can really skate. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Alexandre Payusov | Note | Goes to the front of the net without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Alexandre Payusov | Note | Might be the fastest player in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Alexandre Payusov | Note | Constantly on the attack. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Alexandre Payusov | Summary | Fast, attacking player who looks like a player with the drive to generate offense on every shift. At 5'11, 190 pounds, he plays with speed and dexterity, and gets the puck into the offensive zone. Decent in his own end. He's currently the Huskies leading scorer, but there is not a lot of firepower on that team. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Jachym Kondelik | Note | Slow getting through his stride, making him slow in general. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Jachym Kondelik | Note | On the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Jachym Kondelik | Note | So big, he can just take hits from Boston College players and not be moved off the puck at all. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Jachym Kondelik | Note | Coming down the left side with the puck, he just has no tools to try to get around the defender to make the play. Goes down hard into the end boards. Slow to get up. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Jachym Kondelik | Summary | Big, big forward at 6'5, 230 pounds, and he plays a big-player game. Solid on his feet, difficult to move off the puck or away from the crease, but his feet are a liability. Not creative with the puck, but a good passer when he has the time and space. Responsible on defense, he uses his long reach effectively to make up for his lack of foot speed. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Jack McBain | Note | Nice first step, good on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Jack McBain | Note | Good move at the blue line to deke the defender, then goes to the net, slides the puck to Wahlstrom who gets taken down hard into the post. McBain showed shot, then no-looked the pass to Wahlstrom. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Jack McBain | Note | Skates great for a guy 6'4 and 205 pounds. Agile, tight turns, good acceleration. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Jack McBain | Note | Gets the puck at the center-ice dot, cuts to the right-wing side and goes around Kondelik, then splits two defenders, drags the puck to his forehand to the slot, then beats the goalie five hole. He literally beat four UConn players and the goalie in that sequence! | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Jack McBain | Note | Throws a good hit in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Jack McBain | Note | On the other end, McBain does what Kondelik could not do, and toe drags his man to draw a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Jack McBain | Summary | A big forward who is surprising nimble and fast for a player 6'4 and 205 pounds. His puckhandling skills are very good, he is willing and able to dangle around opponents to get to better shooting lanes. Takes in passes well with soft hands, and his acceleration seems gets him into open spots on the ice. He seemed to be creating his own opportunities throughout this game. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Logan Hutsko | Note | Working hard in the right corner, digging for the puck, using his shoulders to box out the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Logan Hutsko | Note | Works the left circle on the powerplay, head up, weighing options. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Logan Hutsko | Note | Quick, aggressive on the forecheck, creates a turnover, and is already looking for options as he corrals the puck. Feeds a good pass to the far side, creates a dangerous opportunity for Mattila, who just missed the net. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Logan Hutsko | Note | I like his hustle and energy. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Logan Hutsko | Note | Playing on BC's top line and top powerplay unit. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Logan Hutsko | Note | Absorbs hits well, uses his balance to dig in and keep his feet or bounce off and change directions. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Logan Hutsko | Note | Calm with the puck, will handle and step into open areas, trying to make the defense move, then not afraid to rip the puck at the net. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Logan Hutsko | Note | Robbed of a short-side attempts, gets the rebound, curls and saucers a pass to the far circle. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Logan Hutsko | Note | Spins away from his man, then his to the point was way off target and the puck goes all the way down to the other end. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Logan Hutsko | Note | Turns away from the puck more often than I'd like to see. A high-skilled player will exploit that. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Logan Hutsko | Summary | Never stops battling, is feisty and willing to get bruised up and dirty to get the puck. High work-rate player, fast feet, slows the game down when he has the puck. Nice player. Not sure if he has an NHL shot yet, but the rest of his game is solid. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Oliver Wahlstrom | Note | Mostly invisible for the first two periods, then he rockets a one-timer on net that I thought was going to knock the goaltender into the third row. Same shift, hard angle, flips the puck into the net. His shot is so good. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Ruslan Iskhakov | Note | On the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Ruslan Iskhakov | Note | So quick, but he just lost a foot race to Hutsko. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Ruslan Iskhakov | Note | Darts into the offensive zone, draws a tripping penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Ruslan Iskhakov | Note | Gets a pass with his back to the half boards. A BC player comes at him, and Iskhakov fakes left, goes right and Brown literally hit nothing but the boards because Iskhakov was long gone. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Ruslan Iskhakov | Note | Receives a pass, turns and releases a wrist shot form the high slot, all in what looked liked one fluid motion. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Ruslan Iskhakov | Summary | Seemed to come alive at the end of the game as the Huskies were trying to come back from a 3-1 deficit. Highly elusive with and without the puck, great hands, excellent passing. Very difficult to contain, and easily escapes even two defenders. He looks like a player who just needs to have some more talent around him. | Brian Fogarty | Connecticut vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/7/2018 | 12/8/2018 | 10183 |
Antoine Morand | Note | Keeps getting good looks, but Rodrigue has been amazing in this game, making a dozen grade-A stops so far. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Antoine Morand | Note | Second time in this game that Morand has gotten a shot on goal while being down on the ice. Never gives up on the play. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Looking physical early, putting shoulders into people. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Taking key faceoffs at both ends of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | I like Groulx's ability to work the boards, use his frame to seal off players or protect the puck, then make plays off the boards when he wins the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Groulx isn't fast but he's a solid, determined skater who moves well, has good balance and is light on his feet, and can build up power when he needs it. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Seems to be adapting his game to a style that has the best chance for his future success. He's not trying the high-risk, high-dazzle plays, but is battling along the boards, going to the net, getting into the corners. He could develop into a heavy, pro-style player with hands and smarts. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Stymied yet again by Rodrigue. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Still going to the dirty areas, tying to drag his team back into this game. He's not giving up yet. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Big hit along the boards. He crushed that guy. Wow. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | Good skater, quick, low, excellent balance and agility. Uses his edges to adjust lateral position on the move. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | PK faceoff in his own zone, pucks goes to the point and Mercer uses his quickness to get out and pressure McIsaac, creating the turnover, then he's gone like a flash for a clean breakaway that Gravel saved with a good effort. Nice play by Mercer, using speed and effort to create a high-end chance shorthanded. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | His speed is a weapon. Creates another turnover and hustles the puck towards the net before his feet are swept out from beneath him. He needs only one step and he separates from everyone. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | Takes a hit to make sure he can chop the puck out of his zone to break up some sustained pressure from Halifax. His team is up 5-1, but he made the difficult play. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Dawson Mercer | Note | Once again, his speed gets him a near breakaway and he draws a penalty. No one on Halifax can match his pace. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Dawson Mercer | Summary | Liked his game a lot. Constant pressure at both ends, exceedingly fast, darting and over distance. More importantly, he utilizes his speed to its full effect, causing major problems for the other team. He is 6'0 and 172 pounds, over a point per game so far this season, and he's in his draft-minus-one year as a 2020 draft-eligible player. One to watch, for sure. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Felix Lauzon | Note | Like his mobility, his constant presence in the game, and his fundamentals. Keeps active, stick on the ice, always aware of what's going on around him. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Jared McIsaac | Note | He often uses the flat of his blade to "catch" and settle passes sent to him at the point. He's calm and deliberate, but at higher levels, when the pace increases, that's a habit he will have to eliminate. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Show's good balance on his first shift as he got spun around but kept his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Blocks a shot then takes a hit to get the puck out of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Can stop and turn back 180 degrees in an instant. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Enters the offensive zone carrying the puck, leaves a nice soft pass to the left side, continues on into the zone, gets the puck back, then sends a sharper pass to the crease that Guay didn't get his stick on. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Finds a gift on the PK forecheck, takes two steps and wrists the puck past the goaltender. Quick release alone on the netminders from ten feet out. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Causing all kinds of problems on the penalty kill. Aggressive, fast and strong, forechecking and pushing the puck back into Halifax's zone time and again. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Wins a powerplay faceoff at the right dot, gets a quick pass back then sends the puck out to the point. He swings out to the left side, gets a pass and rips a laser wrist shot past the goaltender from the top of the left circle. Excellent sequence. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Joseph Veleno | Summary | Veleno is a professional player. He might not become a top scorer in the NHL, but he could easily become a solid, reliable, scoring second-line center who drives play at both ends of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Justin Barron | Note | Displaying speed and agility with quickness, too. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Justin Barron | Note | Good job to keep the puck in the zone at the left point on the powerplay. He knocked the puck down with his hand, then fired it at goal. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Justin Barron | Note | His speed gives him good recovery opportunities if he's heading up ice. Lets him take some chances. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Justin Barron | Note | His right-handed shot will give him extra opportunities in the future. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Justin Barron | Note | Uses his wheels to track down a breakaway and then a great stick lift to completely disrupt the play. Well done, that. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Ostap Safin | Note | Tries to tie up an attacker in the slot who had been left alone, and gets called for a hooking penalty. Tough call. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Ostap Safin | Note | Bad play in his own end while under pressure from the PK unit. Should have moved the puck to safety, but his turned it over instead, and Veleno gets a clear path to the net. Safin couldn't find the puck off the boards and he overskated it, giving Veleno the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Ostap Safin | Note | Big turn near the blue line as the puck goes the other way on the far side. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Ostap Safin | Note | Just looks like he hasn't developed much since he was 16. Footspeed is just average now, he looks kind of sluggish in general. Mostly invisible in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Ostap Safin | Note | Floating around his own end. No urgency in his game despite being down three goals in the third. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Pavel Koltygin | Note | Goes to the boards in the neutral zone to try to stop a puck carrier, big stop but had trouble recovering and changing direction after a pass, then he floated into his own zone watching the puck carrier skate it in. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Pavel Koltygin | Note | Pass comes in behind him, he spins and gets it, then fires it on net. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Pavel Koltygin | Note | Not fast enough. His feet in general are a weakness. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Pavel Koltygin | Note | Had a chance to stretch out his legs without the puck. His straight-line speed is okay over a distance, but I'm still not impressed with his skating over all. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Chases down a deep toss into the zone taken by the defender, but Lavoie stays on him, lifts his stick, gains the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Doesn't hold the puck when the pass is the right play. Quick, decisive passes to the keep the puck moving on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Goes to the net without the puck and nearly gets rewarded. Hard pass from the boards gets to him, but an excellent save from Rodrigue stops him. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Never seems to go as hard as he can. He shows good acceleration at times, but it seldomly appears. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Misses the net from the left circle. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Converts a nifty pass from Morand into an open net. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Raphael Lavoie | Summary | Disappointing showing from Lavoie in this game. He has the hands and size, and he can skate, but he looks like he's putting out about 75% effort. That might be enough on most nights in Major Juniors for someone with his level of skill, but he will level out fast if he doesn't start getting his work rate up. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Xavier Bernard | Note | Drops a big hit on a forward who was carrying the puck into the zone at full speed. Bernard had to know that he would take the worst of that hit, but he made the play anyway, and separated the man from the puck. Nervy play. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Xavier Parent | Note | Gets low to the ice when skating, works a lot, moves well but speed is not outstanding. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Xavier Parent | Note | Big diving block of a slap shot at the point. His team is down by four goals and he sacrificed himself point blank. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Xavier Parent | Note | Nice saucer pass to his linemate cutting to the crease, but again Rodrigue makes a stop. | Brian Fogarty | Drummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/25/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10182 |
Calen Addison | Note | Winds up and releases a bomb of a slapshot that missed the net by at least five feet, but the defender may have gotten a stick on it as Addison shot the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Calen Addison | Note | Moves well, confidently with the puck through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Calen Addison | Note | At his best carrying the puck up ice. He just went end to end, curled behind the net and found a trailer for a good chance. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Calen Addison | Summary | Excels when he is moving the puck up the ice. Good passer, excellent skater and puck handler. Prone to mistakes in his own end, but recovers quickly because of his footwork. Needs to clean up his defensive game, however. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Dylan Cozens | Note | Not tremendously fast, but moves okay. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Dylan Cozens | Note | Nice pass though traffic to the back door. He put that through the legs of a defender and hit the tape. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Dylan Cozens | Note | Difficult to move in front of the net, just so strong on his skates, gets good leverage. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Dylan Cozens | Note | Uses the boards to bank the puck around the defender, goes to the puck, creates a chance. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Dylan Cozens | Summary | Not a highlight-reel player who constantly electrifies the crowd with his moves, but he his a force on the ice. Sound at both ends, goes to the hard spots, extremely difficult for opponents to clear out of high-danger areas. However, he does have good offensive skills, vision and hands to complete the plays he sees. Smart player at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Emil Malysjev | Note | Good skating moving backwards, then a quick stick and poke check to create a turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Emil Malysjev | Summary | Solid two-way defenseman, skating is above average, good decisions in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Eric Florchuk | Summary | Has very good speed and skating abilities, but did not bring much else to the game. Pays attention to defense, can push the puck up ice, but did not show much creativity or flair in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Jordy Bellerive | Note | Just saved a goal by taking a dazzling Dach out of the play. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Jordy Bellerive | Note | Backhand pass off the boards to the defender. His ill-advised passes are numerous. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Jordy Bellerive | Summary | Bellerive shows all the tools necessary to be a respectable pro forward, but he made far too many poor choices with the puck, passing to defenders or to nobody at all, giving away pucks when it was unnecessary. Those types of mental lapses will haunt him going forward. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Kirby Dach | Note | On one foot trying to step around a defender and his takes a big shove, but keeps his balance on the one blade. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Kirby Dach | Note | Filthy move at the top of the crease, drags the puck and gets a clean backhand opportunity into a now empty net, but Bellerive buries him before he can get the shot away. Dach just destroyed a defender and the goalie with that move. Wow. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Kirby Dach | Note | High-level puck handler, even in thick traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Kirby Dach | Note | Getting chippy at the top of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Kirby Dach | Note | Notices his defenseman has lost stick, hands over his own, then goes straight to the bench for a new one. Smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Kirby Dach | Note | Draws opponents to him every time he gets the puck, opening a lot of ice for his teammates. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Kirby Dach | Note | Top of the right circle--as usual--feeds a beautiful pass to the bottom left circle but Gerlach couldn't pull it in. If Gerlach would have been able to handle that pass, that would have been an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Kirby Dach | Summary | In a choppy, chippy game, Dach pulled off some moves that were eye-popping. Great, creative hands, uses his size to his advantage, and although he doesn't show elite speed, he is a good skater with excellent balance and mobility. His hands are dangerous, and he has excellent vision and awareness. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Kristian Roykas Marthins | Note | Works a nice two-on-one break, sends a pass to the left saved by a sprawling, desperate netminder. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Kristian Roykas Marthins | Note | Getting chippy at the top of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Kristian Roykas Marthins | Summary | Roykas Marthinsen is a bottom-six type player with an honest work ethic and two-way game. Unlikely to become a prolific scorer, but a solid player who can gain his team puck possession. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Logan Barlage | Note | Struggling to keep up while Saskatoon breaks out of the zone. Straightline speed is below average, at best. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Logan Barlage | Note | Loses his man in front of the net because he couldn't match the agility and quick turn. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Logan Barlage | Summary | Shows good hands and offensive awareness, but his below-average skating is problematic. | Brian Fogarty | Lethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/21/2018 | 11/26/2018 | 10181 |
Danila Palivko | Note | Tall, good on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Danila Palivko | Note | Highly mobile. I like his quick lateral change of direction. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Danila Palivko | Note | Fighting for position and keeping his crease clear. His quickness helps, and he shows excellent balance despite the long legs. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Danila Palivko | Summary | Tall defender who skates remarkably well at this stage of development. Positionally sound, agile and quick, he disrupts plays by out moving the attacking forwards. Makes a good first pass, and shows confidence at the point. A promising prospect for the 2020 NHL draft. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |

Dylan Cozens | Note | Centering the top PP unit | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Dylan Cozens | Note | When he has the puck on his stick, opponents have a lot of difficulty getting it back, or closing him down for that matter. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Dylan Cozens | Note | Has the puck on the left wing boards, turns toward the blue line, cuts back down the boards, cuts back again, drawing three Saskatoon players towards him, then cycles the puck back to Barlage and jets to the slot, but the return pass was too far in front of him. Too bad. He deserved a chance to finish that play. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Dylan Cozens | Note | Killing penalties, active and lifts Florchuk's stick just as he was about to shoot. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Emil Malysjev | Note | Wrist shot from the point comes off his stick slowly, but with some juice. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Emil Malysjev | Note | Skates the puck out of his zone and into the offensive end on the powerplay, cutting through traffic, moving well with the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |

Jordy Bellerive | Note | Top PP unit, playing right side half boards, just putting pucks on net. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Jordy Bellerive | Note | Moves well and confidently with the puck, head up, finding plays as they open up around him. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Jordy Bellerive | Note | Captain of the team, plays like the veteran that he is: calm, controlled. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Jordy Bellerive | Note | That's the second time I've seen him try to force a fancy pass that had low-probability of success, It looked cool, but leads to nothing but turnovers. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Jordy Bellerive | Note | He's a swooper: the kind of player who waits for something to develop and then swoops into the play. He's not a generator of offense, but he is engaged. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Jordy Bellerive | Note | Quick, engaged, but passes are not crisp or accurate or particularly well-decided. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |

Kirby Dach | Note | Down below the net, takes a hit to feed the puck to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |

Kirby Dach | Note | Superb pass through traffic to the doorstep for an easy conversion on the powerplay. Great look. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Kirby Dach | Note | Big body with good feet and hands. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Kirby Dach | Note | Comfortable switching to backward skating if the puck is coming up the ice behind him. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 10/25/2018 | 10180 |
Kirby Dach | Note | Struggling on faceoffs so far, mostly up against Cozens. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 43398 | 10180 |
Kirby Dach | Note | Looks like a fundamentally good skater in all directions, smooth on his edges. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 43398 | 10180 |
Kirby Dach | Note | Shootout opportunity to show of his hands, and he put the netminder on his face before flipping the puck up into the net. Sick hands. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 43398 | 10180 |
Kristian Roykas Marthins | Note | Looks stocky, low and strong on the puck. Comfortable on his skates. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 43398 | 10180 |
Kristian Roykas Marthins | Note | Another play where he just muscled through the opposition, kept possession. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 43398 | 10180 |
Kristian Roykas Marthins | Note | Like his responsible play at his own end of the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 43398 | 10180 |
Kristian Roykas Marthins | Note | Seems like a player with good sense of the game, recognizes what's about to happen and goes to the good spots, either on defense or offense. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 43398 | 10180 |
Kristian Roykas Marthins | Note | His speed is deceptive because he gets a lot of power from his base without looking like he's moving, but he's a big diesel motor. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 43398 | 10180 |
Kristian Roykas Marthins | Note | Gets a breakaway, saved. Didn't have much time as the defender was on his heels, but he didn’t try much, either. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 43398 | 10180 |
Logan Barlage | Note | Second PP unit | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 43398 | 10180 |
Logan Barlage | Note | Footspeed seems lacking | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 43398 | 10180 |

Noah Boyko | Note | Not the most physical player. | Brian Fogarty | Saskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL) | 10/6/2018 | 43398 | 10180 |
Andrew Perrott | Note | Changes direction well, lateral movement allows him to switch cleanly between coverages. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Antonio Stranges | Note | Puckhandling with his head down, good job to weave through traffic and maintain possession, but his eyes were glued to the end of his stick the whole time. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Antonio Stranges | Note | High work rate. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Antonio Stranges | Note | Outworked everyone on that shift. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Antonio Stranges | Summary | Goes hard on every shift, showing good hands, decent vision, and the competitiveness to always try to make a difference. He was disruptive in the offensive zone, both with and without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Carter Tresoor | Note | Nice reach to gather a loose puck, but he then tries to make a risky pass instead of the better possession option. His team is down by four goals late, so it's time to take risks, but there was a better choice to be made there. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Carter Tresoor | Note | Cuts to the net, but the pass doesn't reach him. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Matthew Timms | Note | That was a bad turnover. He was the last guy back, and can't five the puck away like that. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Matvey Guskov | Note | Attentive to defensive responsibilities, he head is on a swivel, checking the puck play in the corner, checking his point man coverage. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Matvey Guskov | Note | Sticks with the play in the offensive zone and regains possession with effort and hands and stick strength. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Matvey Guskov | Note | Good, agile skater, strong but not overly fast. Changes front to back easily and quickly. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Matvey Guskov | Note | Using his body well to take space and time from attacking players. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Matvey Guskov | Note | Stickhandles well, but its more the use of his stick defensively where his shines, as opposed to being a crafty deking forward. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Matvey Guskov | Note | Beautiful combination with his line, short give-and-go, he held the puck at the side of the crease and then put the puck on his linemate's tape for a tap-in goal. Great read, vision, patience, and an accurate, well-weighted pass to finish the play. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Matvey Guskov | Summary | Big, young prospect who looks like a burgeoning two-way threat. Forechecks effectively, plays a solid defensive game in his own zone, pushes the puck up ice. Not a dazzling offensive talent, but he showed flashes of ability and an intelligent game that could develop into an NHL talent over the next couple of years. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Michael Vukojevich | Note | A nice pass up ice, but not making much of an impact in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Reid Valade | Note | Pulling the puck back up the boards, nice heads-up pass to a teammate rushing into the zone. Soft, well-placed, easy to handle. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Reid Valade | Note | Good deke to get around the defender. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Reid Valade | Note | Hard pass into the skates of the teammate moving through the neutral zone. No way the winger could have handled that pass. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Riley Damiani | Note | Just turning circles in the slot in his own end, watching the play swirl around him, but not engaging at all. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Riley Damiani | Note | Shows good speed joining the rush. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Sahil Panwar | Note | Good speed and lateral mobility, takes the puck to the high slot, fires, misses the net, but keeps his feet moving and he finds the bounce off the boards and scores the game's first goal. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Sahil Panwar | Note | With the puck in the corner, he pulls up in front of the net, stick on ice, and when the puck kicks out to him, he one-timer nearly netted him a second goal. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Sahil Panwar | Note | Playing on a line with Foudy. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Sahil Panwar | Note | Head up through the neutral zone, sends a cross-ice pass to Dunkley who breaks in and scores. Not a beautiful pass, but effective. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |
Sahil Panwar | Summary | Quick, smooth skating attacking forward who scored his first goal in this game. I liked his effectiveness in the offensive zone and see good all-around potential. | Brian Fogarty | Kitchner vs London (OHL) | 10/20/2018 | 43398 | 10179 |

Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Taking a hit to keep the puck moving up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Doesn't have blazing speed, but moves okay. Doesn't extend fully on his stride. Balance looks good, though. Flaws in his skating look correctible. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | After a deflected point shot goes wide right and back out from behind the net, it kicks straight out to Lafreniere's feet at the left side, and he buries it. His hands are deadly in close. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Alexis Lafreniere | Note | Nifty one-handed pass behind his back as his line goes up ice. The breakout pass was behind him, so he one-handed the puck behind his back and redirected it up to the player streaking up on his left wing. What a play that was. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Elmer Soderblom | Note | Big, big kid. Listed at 6'6, 215 pounds for this tournament. Uses his size to his advantage. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |

Elmer Soderblom | Note | Taking up his spot at the top of the crease on the powerplay, makes a nice deflection up under the bar to tie the game late in the third. That's where his goals will come from, not from the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Joel Wahlgren | Note | Above average straight line speed, but not special | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |

Karl Henriksson | Note | Good body positioning and puck protection, using his feet and shoulders to shield, push. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Karl Henriksson | Note | Point man breaks his stick on a slapshot, but the puck goes to Henriksson, who one-times a slapshot of his own on net. Good adjustment to an unexpected opportunity, | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Karl Henriksson | Note | Poor drop pass ends up going the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Karl Henriksson | Note | Average speed, good agility. Just lost a foot race to Cozens, who was also carrying the puck at the time. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Michael Vukojevich | Note | Misjudges the speed of Raymond and only gets a piece of him along the boards, but it was enough to send Raymond wide and behind the net, keeping him to the outside. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Michael Vukojevich | Note | Highly active stick, pushing, checking, reaching, | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Michael Vukojevich | Note | Too many times he's reaching out trying to arm-check attacking puck carriers instead of finding the proper angle and position and using his body. Broberg just schooled him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Michael Vukojevich | Note | Gives the puck away at the blue line, then immediately slashes as Raymond goes for a breakaway attempt. He had help, so the slash was unnecessary. The giveaway was bad, the slash was dumb. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Michael Vukojevich | Note | Raymond just played around Vukojevich like he wasn't even there. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Philip Broberg | Note | Outskates Lafreniere to a loose puck, collects it at center ice, skates in, gets a good shorthanded chance. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Philip Broberg | Note | Zooms up the left side, seems to be surprising players with his speed. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Philip Broberg | Note | Lost an edge trying to skate the puck out of his zone, makes a pass from one knee. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Philip Broberg | Note | Again wins a footrace to the puck, then takes a step wide to shield the path of the opponent to the puck, making collecting and possessing that much easier. Nice, smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Philip Broberg | Note | Goes back to retrieve the puck on the powerplay, looks up, sees his team changing, skates it into the offensive zone wide to his right side, cuts to the middle, launches a good wrist shot saved. He undressed Vukojevich with that cut. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Philip Broberg | Note | Super calm player. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |

Ryan Suzuki | Note | Excellent first-touch pass to the high slot, one-touch goal. Hands and vision are excellent, but its his decision making that always stands out to me. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Ryan Suzuki | Note | Reads the play, intercepts the breakout pass, feeds it back to his defenseman to setup a zone entry, Could have easily been tempted to turn that back and try to enter the zone himself, but his choice was smarter. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Ryan Suzuki | Note | Centering the top penalty killing unit | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Ryan Suzuki | Note | In constant motion during the powerplay, always making himself available for a play, and when he gets the puck, he's decisive and seems to have his next moves plotted out. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Ryan Suzuki | Note | If you’re open, he'll find you. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |
Ryan Suzuki | Note | He's not fast necessarily, but he's got a quickness and his smarts that allows him to get to where the play needs him to be. You don't have to be as fast as the next guy if you're already two steps ahead of him. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |

Sasha Mutala | Note | Good presence of mind with the puck in his own zone, under pressure, and he turns back and outlets to the available defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10178 |

Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Balance and edgework are really good, especially for a U18 at 6'2, 190 pounds. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Calling for the puck in the home plate area, doesn't get it. At the end of the shift, his body language made him look disappointed. Hate reading into that, but it seemed obvious to me. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Takes two steps off the right-wing boards, finds a loose puck off the faceoff, and his shot is off his stick in an instant, into the goalies glove, low right side. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |

Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Not really dictating play in this game. In the offensive zone, he looks more like he's just waiting to get the puck instead of making things happen. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Cutting circles in the middle of the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |

Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Passing is okay, but he is really only looking for a shot attempt. Passing looks like option three. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |

John Farinacci | Note | Not really watching him in this game, but he just made a good defensive play while on the power play, fronting the puck carrier going back into the defensive zone, then just dropping him on his butt when the attacker tried to dangle him. Lovely, physical d-oriented play from the team's top-line center. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |

Nikita Sedov | Note | Got out of position trying to make a poke check on an attacking puck carrier at the blue line, but pivoted and recovered nicely. His skating allows him to make the aggressive mistake there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Nikita Sedov | Note | Covering the crease front on the penalty kill, works his man with the stick physically engaged, then when the shot is coming in, ties his stick up to take away the deflection attempt. Well played. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Sam Colangelo | Note | Upright skater, needs to get a deeper knee bend and better push. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |

Sam Colangelo | Note | Tries to lift a stick, then tries to tie a stick, but his man gets to a rebound and pots the goal.

Sam Colangelo | Note | Beautiful deflection of a point shot. He set up in the slot, deflected it down and past the nettie to tie the game at 3. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |

Vasili Podkolzin | Note | Kid can really skate. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Vasili Podkolzin | Note | High-vision play, backing through the right circle towards the corner, receives a pass off the boards and one-times it to the high slot, finding his man in stride, on the tape. Fantastic play. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Vasili Podkolzin | Note | Just watched that sequence again, and found myself saying out loud to no one: "Yeah, that kid can play." | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Vasili Podkolzin | Note | Just more impressed with every shift I watch him. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |

Yaroslav Likhachyov | Note | One times a shot from the left circle, good timing on the release, but the goalie got a pad to it. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Yaroslav Likhachyov | Note | Passing is a one-motion, smooth affair that puts pucks on players' sticks. Gives passes that are easy to handle. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Yaroslav Likhachyov | Note | Takes a faceoff at the right-wing circle, tries to win clean and shoot, but gets tripped up. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Yaroslav Likhachyov | Note | Takes a puck from his own slot, gets to speed by the blue line, puck out in front, one hand on the stick. Swings to the left wing side, head up, then laces a cross-ice pass to hard charging winger and finds him perfectly for a one-touch goal. Great pass from a pure puck distributer. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Yaroslav Likhachyov | Note | He's played all three forward positions so far this game. Waiting to see if they line him up at D next. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |
Yaroslav Likhachyov | Note | Good read on Abramov's faceoff win, steps into the open space at the slot, taps in the pretty pass. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018) | 8/8/2018 | Not Available | 10177 |

Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Charges from center into the offensive zone with speed on a two-on-one and rips a wrister that just missed. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Fires a hard shot directly off the faceoff win and drives to the net to follow up. This kid has an incredible reach with a very long stick. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Uses his size and strength to work himself into a great shooting position but fubs the shot. Can't win 'em all. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | 5-on-3 powerplay for Halifax and he absolutely crushes a shot right into the goalie then chased down the rebound but missed the shot. This kid just knows he can get to any puck on the ice and uses his size and reach to his advantage. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Strong effort to break up 2-on-1 and follows it up by busting through three defenders to generate a scoring chance. I swear this kid gets better every time I see him. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Skated like a man on a mission to cleanly disrupt what was very nearly a breakaway. The kid doesn’t always show up on the score sheet but he knows how to contribute in many other ways. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | A deadly accurate shot over the goalies shoulder. Bo has arrived! | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Summary | Was invisible in the 1st period but really came on as the game progressed. The scoring upside is somewhat limited here but coaches will like the well-rounded skillset he brings to the table. Late 1st unless a conservative team feels he fills a need for them and reaches. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Filip Zadina | Note | Carries the puck from behind his own net to the right side and feathers a pass out front for a great opportunity that wasn’t capitalized on. Moves through the neutral zone with a purpose and appears to view the defenders as a minor nuisance. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Filip Zadina | Note | Passing ability on full display as he dishes off a lightning quick pass in a net crashing play. This sniper isn’t always looking to shoot! | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Filip Zadina | Note | On the penalty kill, he vacuums up the puck in front of his own net and cruises out through the neutral zone, crosses the opposing blue line on the right wing side, cuts hard to the net drawing all defenders then pulls up and circles the net killing a good piece of the opposing powerplay and almost generating a scoring chance. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Filip Zadina | Note | Got a little too cute trying to gain the zone and coughs it up on the blue line. Maybe he should start taking the defense more seriously. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Filip Zadina | Note | Pulls off a between-the-legs move to slip a defender in the opposing zone. Are you playing the same game these guys are, kid?!? | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Filip Zadina | Note | Undresses three defenders in a play that just shouldn’t have worked. Kid is too good for Jr hockey. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Filip Zadina | Note | Silky give-and-go with McIsaac to get to the net. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Jared McIsaac | Note | Smooth movement from the left side into the top of the homeplate area for a goal on a sweet wrister. Displayed great poise with the puck getting the goalie moving laterally before shooting from a dangerous spot. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Jared McIsaac | Note | Makes a great read in the neutral zone and jumps up into the play on the anticipation of a pass. It ended up a broken play but displayed his IQ nonetheless. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Jared McIsaac | Note | Lines up and misses on what would have been a devastating hip check. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Jared McIsaac | Note | Silky give-and-go with Zadina to get to the net. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Jared McIsaac | Summary | He was blasting the puck every opportunity he got. He is in possession of a strong and accurate shot. With his offensive game really turning around in the second half of the season, his overall point totals will not be an accurate reflection of the sort of player he can be when playing with confidence and letting the puck rip. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Raphael Lavoie | Summary | One of the few minor critiques I can make on Lavoie’s game is that he might need to work on shot accuracy. Other than that this kid has all the makings of the next great out of Halifax. There’s no doubt this guy is a high end 1st rounder next year, the only question is how high. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Xavier Parent | Note | Tries to dance through neutral zone and gets overpowered, coughing it up. This kid has wheels and offensive instinct but often gets overpowered and needs to find better ways to make his skills work for him. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Xavier Parent | Summary | Multiple times Parent was getting knocked around when attempting skilled plays that probably blew people away in lower levels. It’s easy to see why people were hyped on this kid, but he’s clearly not shown enough at the major junior level to maintain the early season spotlight he had for the 2019 draft. If he can figure out how and when to employ his evident skillset he could pop next year. At this point I’m not sure if he’s much higher than a late 1st/early 2nd but he’ll be one I keep a close eye on. | Kris Allen | Halifax vs Saint John (QMJHL) | 3/14/2018 | 43173 | 10176 |
Adam Raska | Note | Buries Mastrosimone, making him pay for puck watching. Gets called for boarding, but it wasn't. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |

John Farinacci | Summary | Smooth skater with excellent edgework, gets to spots on the ice quickly. Always involved in the play, especially in the offensive zone, but looked good in his own end, too.

Marcel Barinka | Summary | Skating needs improvement, which could come as his builds into his 6'3 frame. Work rate was there, game awareness was there, and he goes to the net. Still needs to develop his play, but a decent player to watch. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | Tries to do too much with the puck and gives it away to the Czech penalty kill unit. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | Uses his foot to keep the puck in at the offensive blue line. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |
Nicholas Robertson | Note | Keeps the puck on his stick too long. Looks like a player who is used to having to do a lot on his own. Needs to realize that he has talented teammates around him. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |

Radek Muzik | Note | Goes down into a puddle of a player in the offensive zone, and stays down for a while. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |
Radek Muzik | Note | Back on the ice after his extended time down in the circle. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |
Radek Muzik | Summary | Saw a lot of ice time in all situations, and his hustle was particularly useful on the penalty kill. In the zone, he makes decisions quickly, and generally found the right play with the puck, though seemed to lack a bit of creativity. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |
Robert Mastrosimone | Note | Not showing much hustle on the first-period powerplay. Going back to retrieve the puck looking almost disinterested | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |
Robert Mastrosimone | Note | He may not move his feet much, but when the puck came to him in the offensive zone, he rifled a wrist shot from the top of the circle that beat the goalie clean. Zero hesitation, a bit off balance, snipes it home. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |
Robert Mastrosimone | Note | Tentative skater. He just turned the wrong way on a stop. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |
Robert Mastrosimone | Note | Thoughtless crosschecking in the offensive zone while on the forecheck, with just a minute left in the period. Absolutely no reason for that, at all. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |
Robert Mastrosimone | Note | Lots of power on that wrister. Missed the net, rattled the boards. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |

Robert Mastrosimone | Note | In a game lacking flow and rhythm, Mastrosimone is the guy pouncing on chances. Its almost like this choppy pace suits his game just fine. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |
Robert Mastrosimone | Summary | Mastrosimone is a shooter. Needs to up his effort away from the puck. His passes were okay, but because he seems to want to shoot everything he touches (and for good reason), the rest of his game was harder to evaluate in this contest. His skating seems to have improved over previous viewings, but he only goes hard when he sees an opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Czech Republic (Hlinka-Gretzky U18s) | 8/6/2018 | Not Available | 10175 |
Filip Prikryl | Note | First couple of steps look sluggish. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |

Filip Prikryl | Note | Puck on his stick in the offensive zone, defenders closing in, he turned into traffic instead of making an easier pass to an open defenseman at the blue line. Gives up the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Filip Prikryl | Note | Needs to improve his speed. Right now he's a step or two off the pace, and that will become a limiting factor eventually. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Filip Prikryl | Note | Top of the crease during the powerplay, but not really setting screens as much as stepping to the side and looking for deflections. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Filip Prikryl | Summary | Good size at 6'0 but thin (roster has him at 158) and not overly physical at all. His skating is average at best, and his feet few steps do not help him at all. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Kaapo Kakko | Note | First shift, highly active in the offensive zone, with his stick and his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |

Kaapo Kakko | Note | Making the right choices at every opportunity, smart decisions executed well. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Kaapo Kakko | Note | Constant movement with and without the puck pays off, as Kakko worked the puck from below the goal line out to the top of the circle, sends it to Ranta, then curls around to the crease. The puck finds him and he bangs it home. The best part was Kakko had his stick on the ice, in position, and the rebound came right to his blade. Fundamental hockey. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Kaapo Kakko | Note | Gets a pass on the neutral zone boards, harassed by two Czech players, spins out, dekes around another Czech player at the blue line and suddenly he's created a clean two-on-one. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Kaapo Kakko | Note | Almost looks more comfortable in traffic, it that's possible. Thrives when the play is close to him. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Kaapo Kakko | Note | Another instance where he outworks the opponents and comes away with the puck and a sudden opportunity on net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Kaapo Kakko | Summary | Plays the game so well in so many respects, but what really stood out was his crisp, accurate decision-making and ability to dominate play in tight spaces. The Czechs had no answers for him in the game, and once the puck was on his stick, Kakko was able to make the plays he wanted to regardless of what the defenders tried. Fast, good burst, good hands and a quick release, but it was his mental game and vision that was impressive in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |

Mikko Kokkonen | Note | Collects the puck behind his own net and skates it out to center ice. Looks comfortable with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Mikko Kokkonen | Note | Gets back to play a two-on-one against, holds his position well, uses his stick to take away the pass, then clears the rebound away. Well-played defense, there. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |

Mikko Kokkonen | Summary | Got a ton of ice time in the game, and for good reason. Plays with energy and speed, works the puck quickly but without rushing the play, and is willing to either skate the puck out of the zone or make good sharp breakout passes. Pushes up ice and joins the rush when the opportunity is there. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |

Petr Cajka | Note | Takeaway at the blue line by proper positioning and stickwork. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Petr Cajka | Summary | Seems to lack offensive creativity, but he worked hard despite some errors in his own end. Pushed play up the ice when he had the puck, but lacks a spark. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Ville Heinola | Note | Has the puck at the left point, shoulder-fakes the forward defending him to draw him off the boards and then lays a pass down to his teammate on the half-boards. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Ville Heinola | Note | Well-read play gets him to the puck in the neutral zone and he slaps it back into the Czech end, stopping a breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |
Ville Heinola | Summary | Smart defender who mans the point, but tends more to patrol his own end of the ice. Positions himself well, makes good reads. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Czech Republic (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10174 |

Cale Fleury | Note | Next shift, gets caught floating up ice in his own end, leaving a huge gap in coverage, and another puck in the net against. | Brian Fogarty | Acadie-Bathurst vs Regina (Memoial Cup 2018) | 5/20/2018 | Not Available | 10173 |

German Rubtsov | Note | Okay speed, but not fast. Pushes guys more than he hits them, but takes nice routes to the play. | Brian Fogarty | Acadie-Bathurst vs Regina (Memoial Cup 2018) | 5/20/2018 | Not Available | 10173 |

Jake Leschyshyn | Note | Hard work below the goal line, both even strength and on the penalty kill. Battles, uses balance on his skates to dig in for position. | Brian Fogarty | Acadie-Bathurst vs Regina (Memoial Cup 2018) | 5/20/2018 | Not Available | 10173 |

Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Enters the offensive zone with speed, but the defender had good position, so he pulled up short, swiveled and found a better option. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Arthur Kaliyev | Note | Tic-tac-toe, he's the toe, gets the puck near his feet but gets a good shot on net that only a quality save kept out of the net.

Robbie Holmes | Note | Looks like a different skater when in motion. Struggles through the first few steps, but can motor and change gears when he's already going. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Robert Thomas | Note | Out to kill a penalty early. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Robert Thomas | Note | Tips a point shot at the high slot for the game's first goal. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Robert Thomas | Note | Controls the puck while using edges for a hard turn. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Robert Thomas | Note | His shot is hard and really deceptive. Fooled the nettie on two straight shots, one off the cross bar. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Robert Thomas | Note | Shoulder fakes, hand fakes, stick fakes. Super elusive when the puck is on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Robert Thomas | Note | Beautiful vision late in the third period, threads a pass through several defenders, but the ultimate shot was saved. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Robert Thomas | Summary | Thomas has blossomed into a legitimate NHL hockey player with a complete game. Kills penalties, backchecks, forechecks, and when he has the puck on his stick, he's in complete command of the game. Always on the ice in this game, and never looked winded or playing at less than full speed. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Sam Steel | Note | Lightning from the one-timer! | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Will Bitten | Note | Works hard on the forecheck. Not fast, but adequate speed. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Will Bitten | Note | Hard on the back check. Nice speed there. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Will Bitten | Summary | Bitten looks like a different player than what he showed a couple of years ago. Plays hard in his own end, and hounds the puck, but he looks like a player whose offensive confidence is massively depleted. He has puck skills and a shot, but looked timid in the offensive zone in this game, and his stats show it. | Brian Fogarty | Regina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018) | 5/18/2018 | Not Available | 10172 |
Aleksi Heponiemi | Note | Edges and agility are so much fun to watch | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Aleksi Heponiemi | Note | Shows off his great speed to get back and stop the clean Ducharme breakaway, and Ducharme has good wheels. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Aleksi Heponiemi | Summary | So quick, so fast, and has great hands and vision to match his feet. Has all the special tools needed to overcome his incredibly slight frame (5'10, 141 pounds at 19). There is a definitely a place for him in the current NHL, and he could become a threat on a top-six wing. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Colby Sissons | Note | Horrible backhand pass along the offensive blue line. Just threw it blind to the middle of the ice, and it led to a clean breakaway for the opponents. Horrible play. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Glenn Gawdin | Note | Feisty, physical, pushes the line | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Glenn Gawdin | Note | Second time he's taken a penalty for being overly aggressive (roughing, slashing) when it wasn't necessary. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Glenn Gawdin | Summary | Hard-playing agitator with some skill, but his game is more brute force than finesse. Put up 125 points and 101 minutes in penalties in an overage season, but points are more than his previous two seasons combined. Looks like a future AHL player who can get a few cracks at a NHL roster. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Justin Ducharme | Note | Killing penalties, shows good speed through the neutral zone as he goes after a puck | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Justin Ducharme | Note | Uses his speed to get back to break up an attack. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Justin Ducharme | Note | End of a long shift, but he let his man get ahead of him into the defensive zone and take a good pass for a one-on-one with the goalie. Ducharme slashed him to try to prevent the grade-A chance. Two more strides would have prevented all of it. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Justin Ducharme | Note | Good read to intercept the blue-line pass and take off for a shorthanded break | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Justin Ducharme | Note | Quiet skater, smooth easy strides generate quality speed. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Justin Ducharme | Summary | Speedy, played with a high level of energy and worked hard at both ends. Had a few off moments (see the note about letting his man get away from him), but in general he was involved with the play in all three zones. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Max Patterson | Note | Tall, long legs, moves okay but looks like he needs to develop into his frame. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Max Patterson | Note | Acceleration is lacking at this point, a bit lumbering in short spaces, but okay on edges and straight lines. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Max Patterson | Note | Has adequate speed once he gets going, but he'll need to improve his first few steps to have any future success. Could be fixed with coaching and training. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Michal Ivan | Note | Plays a physical game, locks up an opponent on the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Michal Ivan | Note | Willing to push play up ice with above-average speed, but more of defensive-minded two-way defender. 70/30-type guy. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Michal Ivan | Note | Takes a hit to make the correct play. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Noah Dobson | Note | Strong, not fast, skating with big, smooth strides. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Noah Dobson | Note | Uses his body and angles to shield the puck from forecheckers. Solid edgework allows him to gain superior position. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Noah Dobson | Note | Takes the puck into the offensive zone and fires a shot on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Noah Dobson | Note | With nettie down and out, Dobson with a leg save. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Noah Dobson | Note | On the power play, moving into open spaces, calling out directions, finding spots, rips a one-timer, saved. Like his command of the shift, there. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Noah Dobson | Note | He's quality, and will become a very mobile defenseman with size and offensive control/command. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Noah Dobson | Summary | Dobson is the complete package for an NHL defenseman. He's got great size at 6'3 and 178 and will add muscle as me matures physically. He plays a smart, accurate game in the defensive zone, using his stick, feet and smarts to gain and keep position against attackers, either in front of the net or in the corners. He plays like a field marshal, aligning his troops effectively, at both ends of the ice. He has a good shot and uses it appropriately, but also makes good, sharp passes in all three zones. Dobson has the potential to be a NHL All-Star player. | Brian Fogarty | Swift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C | 5/19/2018 | Not Available | 10171 |
Alexander Turcotte | Note | Uses his edges a lot to moderate speed and angle. Above-average speed but not a flyer. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Alexander Turcotte | Note | Second-unit PP time | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Alexander Turcotte | Note | Great vision from below the goal line to snag a loose puck and immediately find a teammate in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Alexander Turcotte | Note | Bad shift in the defensive zone. Looked out of position, jumping plays in the wrong direction. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Alexander Turcotte | Summary | Skating and hands are there, as is his vision and offensive-zone play. A bit shaky in the defensive zone, with mental mistakes that illustrate more his youth and inexperience at this level of play than his ability. Still looks raw, but promising. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Cole Caufield | Note | Poor choice to turn up ice while the puck went the other way. Should have engaged there instead of trying to jump the play. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Cole Caufield | Note | Second-unit PP time, struggling to find a rhythm, losing pucks at his feet more than once. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Cole Caufield | Note | A shooter, through and through. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Cole Caufield | Note | Just sloppy in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Cole Caufield | Note | That's the second time he's tried to bounce one off of the goaltender from below the goal line. Low percentage play that he thinks he can make. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Cole Caufield | Summary | Small, quick player who looks like he is always thinking about putting the puck on the net, too often at the expense of other, better options. More than once he looked up ice from his own zone instead of committing to defense. In the offensive end, he buzzed and worked hard, but made questionable choices, going for the riskier plays instead of the more simple options that used his teammates. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
David Lilja | Note | In the slot on the powerplay, takes a nice pass, tries to redirect but hits the shins of the defender, but he grabs the rebound and snaps it past the netminder. Quick, accurate hands. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
David Lilja | Note | Plays from the hashmarks down, If he's not in that area, he goes hard to get there. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
David Lilja | Note | Not the greatest skater. Wide feet in his stride slows him down a bit. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
David Lilja | Summary | Puts in a lot of effort on every shift, plays the game in the high-contact areas and looks comfortable there. Showed good hands on more than just his goal, and although his skating needs work, he was consistently in good spots on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Jonatan Berggren | Note | Moves through the slot, gets a pass, fires just wide. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Jonatan Berggren | Note | Moves well without the puck on the powerplay, working toward open, dangerous spots on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Jonatan Berggren | Note | Puck handles through the offensive zone, gets a clean path to the net, but saved by the goaltender. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Jonatan Berggren | Note | Skates with a smooth calmness, covers distance but is not what I would call fast. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Jonatan Berggren | Note | Liked how he came out of the corner and found his point man with a nice pass to set up a shot on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Jonatan Berggren | Note | Defensive hustle and awareness on that shift was excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Jonatan Berggren | Note | Nice, smart, simple pass to complete the transition through the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Jonatan Berggren | Summary | Smart player with good vision and game awareness. Showed solid work rate at both ends of the ice, above-average vision and hands, and good skating. He also shows the capacity to simplify the game, a quality attribute in this age group. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Nikola Pasic | Note | Skating looks clunky and off balance | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Nikola Pasic | Note | Edges are not great. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Nikola Pasic | Summary | Skating needs a lot of work for him to be able to excel at upper levels of the game. Works hard on the ice, shows decent awareness and skills, so if he can improve his footwork, could become a good prospect. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Trevor Janicke | Note | Looks confidant skating the puck through the neutral zone. Good pace with the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Trevor Janicke | Note | Killing penalties, forechecking hard. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Trevor Janicke | Note | Looked slow on that shift. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Trevor Janicke | Summary | An all-around good player that goes up and down the ice. Small but solid frame that he uses well. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs US (U18s 2018) | 4/22/2018 | Not Available | 10170 |
Alexander Khovanov | Note | Centering Denisenko and Svechnikov is a plum assignment | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Alexander Khovanov | Note | Gets a two-on-one and chips the puck over to Denisenko who plants it. Proper read, easy play. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Alexander Khovanov | Note | Attentive on defense, good backchecking, uses his speed to get back. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Alexander Zhabreyev | Note | Small, scrappy player. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Alexander Zhabreyev | Note | Out of the penalty box, jets to a loose puck and makes a nifty pass to release an attack. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Alexander Zhabreyev | Note | Not fair that he's on a line with Iskhakov, who is roughly the same size but just so much better at basically everything. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Bode Wilde | Note | Left point on the powerplay | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Bode Wilde | Note | One-timers are low to the ice but not particularly powerful because he hasn't had a truly clean connection. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Bode Wilde | Note | Again with a one-timer that he doesn't catch cleanly, and this one sails up over the net. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Jack Hughes | Note | What a wonderful look to Farabee who hits the wide-open net. Hughes was brilliant on that play. This game has been heating up, and I wondered who would step up. Hughes did there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Jake Pivonka | Note | Pivonka will be a bottom-six player on a NHL team. Wins faceoffs, always working, takes punishment. Workhorse player. Unpretentious game. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Jake Wise | Note | Carrying the puck through the neutral zone on the powerplay, shovels it to his left to no one in particular | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Jake Wise | Note | On the penalty kill now, using his feet, stick, positioning to create turnovers and disrupt plays | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Jake Wise | Note | Battler with agility, change of direction and skill. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Jake Wise | Note | Centering the top powerplay unit, with Hughes, Wahlstrom and Farabee | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Jake Wise | Note | On the penalty kill again, draws a penalty with pure hustle. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Jake Wise | Note | Stick lift and picks Denisenko's pocket | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Jake Wise | Note | Acceleration isn't great, but otherwise a good skater. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Jake Wise | Note | Fantastic give-and-go with Farabee, who hits Wise back and springs him into the slot. Wise beats the goaltender, but not the post. Excellent play, and on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Jake Wise | Note | His lack of burst cost him some D coverage there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Jake Wise | Note | Like his patience there to hold the puck under pressure and wait for the play to develop. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Makes me crazy. Takes the puck deep, throws a mostly no-look pass to Hughes who buries it. Awesome play. This guy is going to make the fans of his NHL team apoplectic. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Absolutely ridiculous turnover? Was the Russian player calling for the puck? That was bad. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Leads a three-on-one down the left, pulls up to wait for a diving defender to slide by, then nails Morozov with a perfect pass for an easy redirection goal. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Not of lot of urgency in his game, his whole posture looks nonchalant. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Kirill Marchenko | Note | Nice skater in all directions, decent puck handler, too, but doesn't look like he has put all the parts together yet. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Mattias Samuelsson | Note | Makes the absolute wrong choice, gives a clean giveaway to Svechinikov to punishes him with a breakaway goal. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Mattias Samuelsson | Note | Down 3-0 in the second period, on the powerplay, and his puck movement looks a bit lazy to me. Nearly gave another puck away. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Oliver Wahlstrom | Note | I'm a fan. I'd want him on my NHL favorite NHL team if I had one. Fans will love this guy. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10169 |
Adam Boqvist | Note | Still haven't seen Boqvist use a slap shot. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10168 |
Adam Boqvist | Note | There's a slap shot! A one-timer attempt, but he fanned miserably on the attempt and had to corral the loose puck and reset. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10168 |
Adam Boqvist | Note | Doesn't rattle easily, this kid. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10168 |
Filip Prikryl | Note | Tries to deke and drag, got an off-balance shot away but easily saved by good goaltender positioning. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10168 |
Jakub Lauko | Note | Showing off his speed again. Such a fast straight-line player, always a threat to go deep. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10168 |
Jakub Lauko | Note | Wow! Gets the puck at his own right-wing circle while on the penalty kill, saw the point player pinching down on him, and banged the puck off the boards into the empty space in the neutral zone, jetting around the defender and got a dangerous breakaway chance shorthanded. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10168 |
Jakub Lauko | Note | Again with speed to the outside, another partial breakaway, takes a slash on his hands, get the goaltender to the ice, but a great save foils the attack. Without the slash, Lauko could probably have elevated the puck more and gotten it up over the sprawling leg. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10168 |
Jakub Lauko | Note | Trying to get something going, but his support is lacking. He's basically on his own in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10168 |
Michal Teply | Note | Big guy, a bit cumbersome in his skating form | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10168 |
Michal Teply | Note | Below-average speed, but decent awareness helps. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10168 |

Vojtech Doktor | Note | Gets called for a boarding, but I don't think he had a chance on that. Tried to stop Gustafsson cutting behind the net, and Gustafsson turned at the point of contact. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/16/2018 | Not Available | 10168 |

Adam Boqvist | Note | Partial breakaway, good save then he's the guy back tying up the trailer to prevent a two-on-way the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
Adam Boqvist | Summary | So impressive as a player, at both ends of the ice. He is a leader on the ice, always involved in the play at both ends, and skates beautifully. He's an it-factor player who stands out, even among the best players of his age group. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |

Axel Andersson | Note | Skates the puck through the neutral zone and wrists one on net. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
Axel Andersson | Summary | Overshadowed by his more skilled teammate Adam Boqvist, but an otherwise quality two-way defenseman. Plays a smart, aware game at both ends, very good skating, moves the puck up ice with either a first pass or skating out to the neutral zone. Handles the puck well, and has vision to be a good distributor. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
Bode Wilde | Note | Quietly having an excellent game, then bam! A rocket slapshot from the blueline beats the goaltender clean. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
David Gustafsson | Note | Gains possession in the corner of his defensive zone, hesitates, and gets stripped of the puck. Needed a quicker decision there. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
David Gustafsson | Note | Very wide stride, doesn't bring his feet back underneath but outside of his shoulders. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |

David Gustafsson | Summary | Has some tools, but unless he can improve on his skating, he looks like a player that will struggle at the higher levels. Didn't show particularly exciting offensive ability, but could be a solid bottom-six worker if he can get his skating up to what it needs to be. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
Jack Hughes | Note | Literally trying not watch him, but he just demands attention. So good. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |

K'Andre Miller | Note | Really nice skater for his size. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Solid and positionally aware in his own zone, offensive instincts, shot and passing are very good, but his decision-making in the neutral zone is often curious at best. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Noticeably absent when it's time to kill penalties. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Nice hip check. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
K'Andre Miller | Summary | Continues to confuse me with his decision-making. In general, he's a big body and a good skater, fluid and strong, plays with a bit of snarl in his game. In the offensive zone he makes decent reads, passes well and has a good shot. But too many times he attacks the puck at in the neutral zone (either leaving the D zone or while transitioning back from the offensive zone) and gets caught out of position and becomes a defensive liability. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |

Marcus Westfalt | Note | Often just shovels the puck instead of crisp passing | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
Marcus Westfalt | Summary | Player who can help his team gain and keep the puck, and has some offensive upside. Middle-six looks like the upside, though. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
Oliver Wahlstrom | Note | The accuracy on that shot to the top corner, from the blue line, was ridiculous. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |

Patrick Giles | Summary | Not overly impressive in this game. Made some bad choices, average skater, but willing to do the dirty work when necessary. Needs additional looks to get a better read on his game. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |

Ty Emberson | Summary | Good size with mobility and sound defensive awareness. Not overly physical but plays the body well. His offensive contributions were relatively limited in the game, but he moves the puck well, and generally makes the right choice when distributing. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018) | 2/13/2018 | Not Available | 10167 |
Adam Boqvist | Note | Fakes left, goes right, shakes the defender who then just tackles Boqvist to the ice | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |

Adam Boqvist | Note | Skating is effortless and so fast and agile, allows him to engage quickly and recover, but his smarts keeps him out of trouble in the first place. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Adam Boqvist | Note | Trying so hard to make something happen for the Swedes. All over the offensive zone on that powerplay sequence. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |

Adam Boqvist | Note | Slings his shot more than really leaning into it, but he gets power behind it. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Adam Boqvist | Note | Distributes the puck quickly, wisely. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Adam Boqvist | Summary | Boqvist is a fast and agile skater, with excellent (or better) lateral and backwards movement and acceleration. His skating is a weapon at both ends of the ice. He is a smart player who makes good reads, and will lead rushes out of his own end. Defensively, he plays sensible, smart positional play, using angles and his skating to keep defenders away from the danger spots. In transition or on offense, he can beat defenders one-on-one, his vision in the zone is superb and his overall hockey iq is upper echelon. Shooting needs a bit of work to develop a range of shots, but shows power and accuracy on the shot he has now. Boqvist is deserving of his top-prospect status. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Adam Ginning | Note | Colty legs, long and thin. Skates well, though. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Adam Ginning | Note | Strides look slow, but his legs are so long its hard to read. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Adam Ginning | Note | Bad blue-line, backhand pass that was an easy interception and quickly goes the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Adam Ginning | Note | Passes are a bit too deliberate, telegraphing his puck movement. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Adam Ginning | Summary | Tall, thin defender who needs time to develop his game. There were flaws (thoughtless passing, positional problems, a slowness in his decision-making) that make me skeptical, but time will tell. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Arttu Nevasaari | Note | Gets his second goal of the game, again from right at the top of the crease, this time another one-touch tip in, but while getting crosschecked to the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Arttu Nevasaari | Note | Changes speed to fool defenders | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Arttu Nevasaari | Summary | Good net presence that resulted in goals. Good skater, especially with the puck, but Nevasaari is a better forward off the puck, the guy who will absorb the hits to make a play, and he showed good hands to convert his chances. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Jacob Olofsson | Note | Smart, calm pass back to his own end on the penalty kill. Like the didn't try to force something there. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Jacob Olofsson | Note | Flubs a great pass and a wide-open net. Gets a second chance from the same spot on the same shift, but gets stopped by a dandy glove save. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Jacob Olofsson | Summary | Consistently involved in the play, but in this game was not overly impactful. He made plays, but not enough, and looked average in several aspects of the game. Above-average skating. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Jesperi Kotkaniemi | Note | Sharp, quick pass to the slot and hits the stick of Nevasaari. Great pass for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Jesperi Kotkaniemi | Note | Constantly involved in the play, gets a loose puck behind the net and a quick wraparound goal. That's a goal and two assists in the first period, so far. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Jesperi Kotkaniemi | Note | Working the left point on the powerplay, just made two fantastic plays to keep the puck in the offensive zone, on the first he zipped a long diagonal pass to find a dangerous chance at the far circle. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Jesperi Kotkaniemi | Note | Skates the puck though the offensive zone like he's on a mission. So determined, fast. Good puck carrier. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Jesperi Kotkaniemi | Note | All alone in the high slot, Nordgren finds him, and he sends the water bottle for a ride. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Jesperi Kotkaniemi | Summary | A constant presence in the game, always working, always around the puck. Passes were sharp and on target, willing to take punishment to get to the traffic areas and made good plays when he was there. This was a multi-point game where everything seemed to work for him. Skating was good but didn't stand out as being a superior skill, but his high work rate and game awareness certainly did. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Lenni Killinen | Note | On the doorstep, parked at the crease, got two good looks at the net. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |

Oscar Back | Note | Skating looks awkward as mentioned, but his hands are deft and agile. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Oscar Back | Note | Skating definitely needs improvement, good balance but lacks power and speed. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Oscar Back | Note | Little spin move at the offensive blue line and backhands a pass to the man on the wing. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Oscar Back | Summary | Skating is an issue as his mechanics look problematic at present. Seemed to look a step slower than the game pace and as such didn't contribute much to the game. | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |
Sampo Ranta | Note | Uses his edges well, keeps his feet wide apart when gliding with the puck into the zone | Brian Fogarty | Finland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10166 |

Adam Gajarsky | Note | Carries the puck up ice to gain the zone on the power play, then tries to force himself between two Russian defenders and gives the puck away. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Adam Gajarsky | Summary | Showed moments of offensive awareness, but was not effective in general. Had a good work rate, but made some poor decisions with and away from the puck, and was a non-factor in the game | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |

Andrei Svechnikov | Note | The number of tools that he has and uses appropriately to keep puck possession is astounding at times. He'll use his size, reach, stick lifts, positioning, quickness, strength, all alternating with intelligent choices and quick hands and awareness are well matched. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Possession machine: weaves through traffic in the neutral zone, gains the zone, makes a power move to the net, wards off the defender with his body, changes direction, gets a good wraparound chance. At least four opponents tried to get the puck from him, and not one of them was close. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Showing off his passing skills on that sequence. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Up 6-2, five minutes left in the 3rd and he's out on the penalty kill. Intercepts a pass in the offensive zone, then dekes, waits, and that’s a shorthanded goal. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Summary | Not a lot more to say about Svechnikov. Big, high iq, excellent hands and tremendous puck possession player. I liked that he was not forcing passes in this game, and instead playing inside the flow of the game. Svechnikov is a natural talent who would be first overall in the 2018 draft if not for the brilliance that is Dahlin. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Grigori Denisenko | Note | Skating is very good, nice crossover steps, generates good speed going backwards while controlling the puck. Offensive IQ is really good. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Grigori Denisenko | Note | Patiently working the puck on the left half-boards, buying time, then wires a pass cross ice to Svechnikov, hard, right on the tape through traffic. Great pass. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Grigori Denisenko | Note | Gets good jump up ice, draws a penalty shot! For his shot, he starts wide left, glides into the slot, and wrists one far side above a low glove from Dostal. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Grigori Denisenko | Note | Calm with the puck, changes speed easily while in possession, gets the defender to move and then capitalizes on the open space. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Grigori Denisenko | Note | Great backcheck play to break up a potential 2-on-1 and gets a clean takeaway. Up 6-2 and working hard to stop attacks. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Grigori Denisenko | Summary | Smart hockey player with top-notch vision and offensive abilities, but who works hard on the back check and kills penalties. Worked incredibly well with Svechnikov, and the two were devastating on the ice together in this game. Quick hands and really patient with the puck on his stick. He's a playmaker with a shot and the ability to put the puck in the net. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Ivan Morozov | Note | Picks off a slow, lazy pass in the neutral zone, then hits the offensive zone, rips one far side, bar down from the circle. Great read, nasty shot, all on a 3-on-5 penalty kill | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |

Jakub Lauko | Note | Works hard to get a shot away with a Russian player on his back, then goes hard and awkwardly into the boards. Looks like a shoulder injury.

Jakub Lauko | Note | More displays of vision as he fakes and finds a teammate at the post, who then misses a wide-open net high. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Jakub Lauko | Note | Fast, creates a breakaway, but a really good save stops him. Gained two steps on the defender in the puck race. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Jakub Lauko | Note | Puck race, uses his reach to poke the puck forward ahead of the defender, then uses his speed to get around him, but runs out of ice | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Jakub Lauko | Note | Hard slapper puts a defender to the ice. Lauko has easily been the Czechs' most dangerous player. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Jakub Lauko | Note | Horrible slash against Svechnikov. Frustration play down 4-2 in the third as Svechnikov was alone in the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Jakub Lauko | Note | Hard power move down the right wing, keeps the puck to the outside, drops his shoulder, drives the net and chips the puck up just over the bar. Speed and power wide with good hands on that play. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Jakub Lauko | Summary | Lots of tools with high iq and vision, skates well and shows good instincts at both ends of the ice. Played hard on every shift, and showed a lot of competitiveness in coming back to the ice after that bad-looking moment in the first period. Might not have the elite-level talent, but he's a good, smart hockey player | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Michal Kvasnica | Note | Skating is smooth and powerful, backwards and transitioning | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Michal Kvasnica | Note | Relentless forechecking, using his skating to harass the puck all over the offensive zone | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Michal Kvasnica | Note | Killing penalties | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Michal Kvasnica | Note | Reads a pass and gets his stick on it, clearing the zone on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Michal Kvasnica | Note | Excellent backcheck to break up a slot pass and gain possession, | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Michal Kvasnica | Note | Breaks up another pass, springs an odd-man rusk, then hurries up ice to become the trailer. Gets the pass and is stymied by a sick save, | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Michal Kvasnica | Note | Working in front of the nettie on the powerplay. Strong in maintaining his spot, but not overly dangerous when the puck reaches his stick | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Michal Kvasnica | Note | Drags his back foot to try to fake the defender, then shoots a medium-strength wrist shot from distance that the goaltender handled easily. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Michal Kvasnica | Summary | Very good skater with size who is hard worker, but looks like he lacks offensive instincts and hand skills. Moves the puck okay, but is more effective on the penalty kill or clogging up the middle than he is with the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Ruslan Iskhakov | Note | Super speedy, change of directions, straightline, acceleration, first step. Excellent skater, but so small. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Ruslan Iskhakov | Note | Stick skills and speed are off the charts. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Ruslan Iskhakov | Summary | Has everything that is needed and wanted from a hockey player: speed, quickness, explosive skating, puck skills, non-stop motor, awareness, iq. The full package deal. The problem is that he's listed at 5'7 and looks even smaller on ice, and he plays away from contact and danger. Can his game translate to small ice with men that are taller, bigger and stronger? | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | 2/15/2018 | Not Available | 10165 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Amazing backhand pass that found an open man, but was too good and the teammate skated past the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Coming off the leftwing side, protects the puck by dragging it off his left hip, changes angle, puts a hard wrist shot on goal, saved but the goalie had no idea where the puck was when it hit him. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Ridiculous shift in which at least four opposing players had cracks at him down low but couldn't stop him at all, gets the shot off, rebound gets put away. Filthy, filthy assist. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | His skating is so smooth and effortless, no matter what situation. Burst, speed, changes, anything. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Tries a lacrosse pullup from behind the net, but the goalie hugged the post and prevented the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | In the corner, fakes the defender and turns him around, then steps to the front of the net and plants it. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Phenomenal eye-hand coordination | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Again showing a tendency to force passes. It's an aspect of his game that is problematic. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Summary | Simply no denying that Svechnikov is extremely talented, with size and tremendous work ethic at both ends of the ice. Drives the net, makes strong and dexterous plays that not many players can make. A couple of coachable flaws like forcing passes when unnecessary, but the creativity, skillset and forceful play are off the charts. Elite talent in a big frame. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Connor McMichael | Note | First two steps don't look like a lot, but he covers ground very quickly | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Connor McMichael | Note | Drives his feet, covers distance in a hurry | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |

Evan Bouchard | Note | Gets a bounce pass off the boards back to the point and one-times a slapper from the blue line for a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Evan Bouchard | Note | Tracks back to the puck so well, so calm and in control | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Evan Bouchard | Note | How does he always end up where the puck is? Offensive zone, defensive zone, wherever. Puck goes to a player, it's often Bouchard. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Evan Bouchard | Note | Typifying his smart play, he brings the puck into the offensive zone, drops the puck to a trailing forward, then closes the gap to the defender and lifts his stick to give the new puck carrier more time and space to make a play. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Evan Bouchard | Note | Joins the shorthanded rush, and Foudy finds him trailing and Bouchard one-times it up over the goalie's shoulder, bar-down shorthanded goal. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Evan Bouchard | Note | Ridiculous patience then a fake shot, pass perfectly on the tape through traffic finds Formenton behind the defense for an easy backhand-forehand goal | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Evan Bouchard | Summary | Big offensive-defenseman (6'2, 192) who captains the London Knights as if he was born to play that role. Always engaged in the play, whether fronting the oppositions top attackers or creating or joining a rush. Has a nose for the net, a variety of offensive weapons, but yet is the first guy back to the defensive zone. Chooses his attacks wisely and is rarely out of position. Could be a top-five pick in his draft class. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Liam Foudy | Note | High-level speed on display early. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |

Liam Foudy | Note | Aggressive forechecking, creates a turnover, then tests the goalie with a snappy wrister. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Liam Foudy | Note | His speed is disruptive | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Liam Foudy | Summary | Elite skating, with tremendous speed that he uses as the foundation for his entire game. Foudy has a good skill set, but his feet will take him to the NHL, and his hands and mental game will have to follow him there. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Luke Bignell | Note | Not much urgency in his game at this stage, up 7-4 in the third. Still, I'd like to see more effort, especially in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Mathew Hill | Note | Took a huge hit up high as he was trying to clear a puck. No effect. Made the pass. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Mathew Hill | Note | Long reach that he uses well to keep good gaps, uses his length to angle the puck carrier deep behind the net and not allow a path to the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Mathew Hill | Note | Soft wrist shot from the point | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Mathew Hill | Note | Stay-at-home guy. Doesn't look eager to go up ice at all. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Mathew Hill | Summary | Solid defender with height (6'1) and plenty of time to fill out his frame. Positioning is solid, uses his reach well and maintains good gaps. Not much of an offensive game at this point. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Nathan Dunkley | Note | Gets turned around by Svechnikov, and loses him to the front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Nathan Dunkley | Note | Clean faceoff win in the offensive zone that leads to a second-period goal. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Nathan Dunkley | Note | Release on a wrister fairly slow and deliberate when something more urgent was needed. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Ryan Suzuki | Note | Excellent acceleration. Finds top speed in just a couple of steps and covers a lot of distance, too. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Ryan Suzuki | Note | Awareness sparkling as he sees the play in the opposite corner of the offensive zone, steps towards the crease in anticipation and then zips a one-timer into the net from ten feet out. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Ryan Suzuki | Note | High-risk pass on the offensive zone is intercepted and turned up ice the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Ryan Suzuki | Note | Awareness and IQ are just fantastic | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Ryan Suzuki | Note | Accurate shooter with quick feet and excellent hockey smarts. That’s a highly dangerous combo. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Ryan Suzuki | Summary | Suzuki is still a year removed from his draft year, but could be a first-round pick in the 2018 draft. So smart and aware on the ice, excellent sense of play development, and then he has the skating and hand skills to take full advantage of what he sees happening around him. His ability to put himself in the places where the play will go is uncanny, and then he can finish when the play finally catches up to what he has already seen. Fun to watch, an early candidate for a top-five pick in 2019. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | 2/2/2018 | Not Available | 10164 |
Cal Burke | Note | Change of pass while in stride, has a good burst out of his glide | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 1/27/2018 | 1/27/2018 | 10163 |

Casey Mittelstadt | Note | Little pitter-patter side steps tracking back out of the offensive zone anticipating a chip out of the zone by the opposing penalty killer. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 1/27/2018 | 1/27/2018 | 10163 |

Casey Mittelstadt | Note | Wow! In overtime, absolutely destroys an opponent with a move a center ice, brings the puck into the offensive zone, feeds Pitlick in the high slot who then wrists a shot, saved, but Mittlestadt, continuing to the net snaps the rebound home for the game-winning goal. Remarkable, fantastic shift. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 1/27/2018 | 1/27/2018 | 10163 |
Dylan Malmquist | Note | Super effort on the backcheck, dives to block a pass, then recovers, gets the puck, and turns it back up ice. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 1/27/2018 | 1/27/2018 | 10163 |

Dylan Malmquist | Note | Again tries to chip a pass over the defense and sends it up and over the glass. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 1/27/2018 | 1/27/2018 | 10163 |
Jack Ramsey | Note | Takes a bad hit from behind but gets up quickly and shrugs it off | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 1/27/2018 | 1/27/2018 | 10163 |

Aidan Dudas | Note | Ridiculous toe drag just brutalized McShane and then he torches the goalie. Beauty! | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Throws a shoulder in the corner on the game's first shift | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Power move to the corner, muscles the defender away with one arm, maintains balance and keeps possession. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |

Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Love his 200-foot play. He works just as hard on defense as he does in the offensive zone, and he's a turnover threat in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Great sequence, receives an awkward pass with soft hands and stick adjustment, then burns down the right wing shorthanded, pulls up and wrists a dangerous shot. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Showing off his speed on the backcheck, looking faster than anyone else on the ice there. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |

Filip Zadina | Note | Feels backside pressure, tucks the pucks in toward his feet as the opposing player overcommits, then pulls the puck back out into position and gets a clean shot on goal | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |
Filip Zadina | Note | Disguises his release point so well. I've watched his goal several times, and I always think that he's going top right corner, but he goes low left instead. Just amazing release. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |
Filip Zadina | Note | Anytime the puck is near him, there's a good chance it is going into the net. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |
Jared McIsaac | Note | Tries to intercept a pass instead of covering his man and allows a clean breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Strong on the puck but just turned it over because he was trying to deke past two players when he had better passing options | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |
Kirill Nizhnikov | Note | Poor angle to try to cut off the puck carrier who gets a clear path into the zone. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |

Ryan Merkley | Note | Handles the puck as if his mom has called him in for dinner and he doesn't want to stop playing yet, so he's just circling around with the puck, looking for something clever to do. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |
Serron Noel | Note | Toe drags around Sandin, then tries to elevate a shot but it was saved. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |

Serron Noel | Note | Shows off those hands while under contact and pressure, tips a point shot for the goal. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | 1/25/2018 | 1/26/2018 | 10162 |

High hockey iq and ability to rapidly assess game situations and make the right decisions, and his feet allow him to get the right spot on the ice to make the smart play. Quality two-defender with offensive upside. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Brayden Burke | Note | Last guy back on the backcheck, floating to his own end behind even the opposing defensemen | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Brayden Burke | Note | Moving the puck quickly off of the half boards. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Brayden Burke | Note | Forcing passes into the slot on the powerplay when the better play is to the point | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Brayden Burke | Note | Gets a goal by driving to the front of the net and Peckford finds him from the boards. If Burke skated like that all over the ice, he'd be a much better player. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Brayden Burke | Note | His game in one sequence: puck on his stick in the offensive zone, shows fancy footwork and puck handling to work around a defender, pulls up, forces a backhand pass to the low boards, intercepted, easy zone clearance for the opposition. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Brayden Burke | Summary | There's no doubt about his offensive play--his hands are excellent, he gets his shot of quickly with power and good accuracy whether it’s a wrist shot, slapshot or one-timers. His passes are accurate when he picks out the right play. On the down side, he forces the play too often, making high-risk choices and at times just giving up the puck when he runs out of skating room. Shows little effort on defense or away from the puck. Vision is great, awareness is not, and his lack of competitive effort is a major concern. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Chris Douglas | Note | Top penalty kill unit play, which isn't surprising considering how dogged he has been as a defender. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Chris Douglas | Note | Hard work at the blue line creates a turnover, then he goes to the net and is rewarded by a perfect pass that he puts into the back of the net for a tying goal in the second period. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Chris Douglas | Note | Generates speed, but it takes him a few strides to get to pace | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Chris Douglas | Summary | Hard worker, reliable defensive forward who kills penalties and makes an impact at both ends of the ice. Good top-end speed but lacks burst that he'll need at higher levels in order to effective with his style of play. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Chris Hartje | Note | Carries the puck up ice with confidence, head up all the way, smooth and easy | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Dawson Barteaux | Note | Ties up his man, keeps his body in the way, switches off well when necessary. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Dawson Barteaux | Note | Solid defensive sequence, ties up his man at the crease, then goes to the boards to cover him, then gets back to the front of the net in position and lifts a stick to prevent a shot | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Dawson Barteaux | Note | Surprisingly good speed. Doesn't look fast but then he's winning all the puck chases. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Dawson Barteaux | Note | Gets a loose puck and has a winger with a wide-open shot, but flubs the pass and puts it behind the winger and an open net goes untested. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Dawson Barteaux | Summary | Defensive blueliner with above average skating ability and good positioning and presence in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Jacob Herauf | Note | Looks comfortable skating backwards, calling out instructions, making a smart defensive plays with good positioning | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Jett Woo | Note | Offensive zone faceoff won, puck to the middle, and Woo takes two steps up from the blue line and snaps a shot on net. I like his quickness and body angle to get a good, powerful shot off | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Jett Woo | Note | Skating is very good, mobility excellent with the puck or when trying to gain position. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Jett Woo | Note | Love his skating and multidirectional agility | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Jett Woo | Summary | Excellent skater with a solid build at 6'0, 205, though he doesn't look stocky (may be taller than the listed height). Reads the play well, showing good awareness positioning at both ends of the ice. Physical play in the game was limited primarily to solid body positioning, but he does not shy away from contact. Looks confident and calm in all situations and shows good iq and awareness at both ends. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Justin Almeida | Note | Centering a line with Burke on the right wing and Peckford on the left | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Justin Almeida | Note | Rips a cross-ice pass to Burke for one-timer saved. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Justin Almeida | Note | Stick on the ice, feet moving, aware of the play, makes him dangerous on the powerplay | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Luka Burzan | Note | Moves well, active in all zones | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Luka Burzan | Note | Fires a shot from the left circle, follows it in, gets the rebound and snaps it back on net. Unfortunately for Burzan, Lamb is stopping everything so far. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Luka Burzan | Note | Great skating in small spaces. Excellent turns and edges. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Luka Burzan | Note | Feeds a pass to the point, but instead of stopping and setting, he turned his back to spin around for position. Unfortunately, that took an option for a return pass away from the point man, and the penalty killer was able to disrupt play. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Luka Burzan | Summary | Shows tremendous speed in open ice, but is equally as impressive in confined spaces, using his balance and edgework to remain mobile in traffic. Works hard in all three zones, good playmaker who tends to make accurate choices. Not a physical player, but takes a hit to make a play when necessary. Room for improvement in overall game awareness, though his hockey sense is generally okay. | Brian Fogarty | Moose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL) | 1/3/2018 | 1/23/2018 | 10161 |
Baker Shore | Note | Left half-boards/circle on the top powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Baker Shore | Note | Good job to keep his stick on the ice and get a one-touch chance on a puck coming out of the corner. Saved, but showed good awareness there. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Baker Shore | Note | Fast feet in his stride, but not a full extension. He gets nice acceleration but can improve after his first couple of steps. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Baker Shore | Note | Works the puck well and has good awareness, finds the right pass most of the time | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Baker Shore | Summary | Hard worker, good hands and vision, quick skater who needs to work on his stride to get more power, but that looks correctable. Has confidence in the offensive zone, but doesn't seem to have a top-level skills package beyond that. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Blake McLaughlin | Note | Goes to the front of the net on the game's first shift, gets a chance for a one-touch shot but stymied by a great save. Good recognition and positioning, quick-handed response | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Blake McLaughlin | Note | Left point on the top powerplay unit | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Blake McLaughlin | Note | Gifted a 3-on-1 by Miller, picks out the right pass and hits his attacking partner for an easy but smart assist. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Blake McLaughlin | Note | Vision is a bit better than his hands, which are not bad but can look brickey at times | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Blake McLaughlin | Note | Aggressive with the puck, always attacking | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Blake McLaughlin | Note | Uses the boards for a backhand zone clearance | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Blake McLaughlin | Note | Diving for pucks in the offensive zone with a one-goal lead in the second period | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Blake McLaughlin | Note | Hard worker who is always trying to get the puck to the front of the net | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Blake McLaughlin | Summary | The type of player who competes hard and seems like the phrase "get pucks to the net" is etched into his retinas. Skates well, good awareness, and makes good decisions with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Graham Lillibridge | Note | Not focusing on him in this game, but his skating has been popping out in the game. Great wheels on this kid, a '99 Yale commit. Small, though, listed at 5'9 and 155 pounds | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Jack Hughes | Note | Flashes brilliant maneuverability and harassing defensive play. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Jack Hughes | Note | Excellent skating in all aspects: darting quickness, three-step acceleration is great, edgework that gives him a distinct advantage on the ice, balance and agility that make him look better on one foot than most of the players on the ice are on both feet. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Jack Hughes | Note | Receives passes like the puck might shatter if he's not careful with it. Super soft hands, and fantastic stickhandling. Snappy, decisive passes. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Jack Hughes | Note | Chases down and stops a shorthanded breakaway | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Jack Hughes | Note | Highly accurate passer with snap when he needs it and puts it on the tape every time. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Jack Hughes | Note | Again breaks up a shorthanded breakaway by chasing down the puck carrier and taking him out of the play | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Jon Gruden | Note | Decent vision, moves well through the neutral zone, always pushing the puck up the ice. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Jon Gruden | Summary | Above-average skater who sees the ice well, works hard and is reliable in the faceoff circle. Skillful, but nothing stood out as particularly excellent | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Makes a horrible choice to go to the puck carrier on the opposite side of the ice, disregarding the actual play evolving around him, and gives up a 3-on-1 attack and the first goal of the game. What was he thinking? Two steps back instead of six steps across and that attack is disrupted. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Caught flat-footed and again gives up a great opportunity against, but the goalie bailed him out on that one. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | In the offensive zone, gets a pass and makes a nice move to step around the forward out to defend him, but lost the puck on the other side of the move. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Just doesn't look comfortable at all. Has fallen two or three times, looks cumbersome and slow on his turns. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Big and willing to take punishment to help get the puck out of the zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | If I had to fully evaluate Miller based on just this game, I'd call him a project player with size and some offensive ability, but a marginal prospect at best. I've seen better from him before. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Looks far more eager to join to rush than to play defense while he's in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Decisions in his own zone are really shaky | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
K'Andre Miller | Summary | He has the size and some offensive skills, but otherwise left a lot to be desired in this game. His decision making in this game was poor, he was on the wrong side of the puck too many times, and his balance was below average, falling to the ice several times without help. I've not seen him look this bad before, so will make an effort to focus on him in a few more games this year to make sure this wasn't just a horrifically off night. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Oliver Wahlstrom | Note | Quick centering pass off of the half boards | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Oliver Wahlstrom | Note | Hard wrist shot from the blue line rattled the glass as the puck went just over the crossbar. Lots of power on the wrister. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Oliver Wahlstrom | Note | Finds a loose puck at the crease and wrists it home | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Oliver Wahlstrom | Summary | Wahlstrom is always on the attack. Good, not great skater, shoots hard with accuracy but it is the constancy of his offensive game that stands out. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Robert Mastrosimone | Note | Distinct lack of quickness and speed. Sluggish feet, wide knees, no power. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Robert Mastrosimone | Note | Might not be able to go fast, but he is agile with his hands and feet when he's in the offensive zone. Deft stickwork with fast, soft hands. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Robert Mastrosimone | Note | Really labors when he tries to skate anywhere. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Robert Mastrosimone | Note | Rifles a one-timer from mid-distance, top shelf and the netminder had no real chance to stop that one. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Robert Mastrosimone | Summary | Gets rid of the puck in a hurry with soft, fast hands and an accurate shot. Average everywhere else, and needs a lot of work on his skating. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Chicago (USHL) | 1/20/2018 | 1/22/2018 | 10160 |
Alexander Nylander | Note | Nylander is much less dangerous from the point, where his greatest attribute--his amazingly quick hands--is much less important | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (WJC 2018 Gold-Medal Game) | 1/5/2018 | 1/5/2018 | 10159 |
Carter Hart | Note | Fantastic first period, his positioning and angles have been sharp, his rebound control even better, and he's seeing the game better than maybe anyone else on the ice right now. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (WJC 2018 Gold-Medal Game) | 1/5/2018 | 1/5/2018 | 10159 |
Elias Pettersson | Note | Petterssen's ability to slide the angle of his stick and completely change his release point is superb. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (WJC 2018 Gold-Medal Game) | 1/5/2018 | 1/5/2018 | 10159 |
Erik Brannstrom | Note | If not for Dahlin, Brannstrom would be getting a lot more talk. Love the intelligence of his game. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (WJC 2018 Gold-Medal Game) | 1/5/2018 | 1/5/2018 | 10159 |
Erik Brannstrom | Note | Solid play to stop the puck, wait for the charging forward to go past him, then make a pass for a clean breakout. Poise under pressure. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (WJC 2018 Gold-Medal Game) | 1/5/2018 | 1/5/2018 | 10159 |
Maxime Comtois | Note | Excellent pass through traffic, slides it under a defender and finds his rush-mate, but the play fizzled out. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (WJC 2018 Gold-Medal Game) | 1/5/2018 | 1/5/2018 | 10159 |
Maxime Comtois | Note | Heavy hit from Comtois who continues to use his body as a battering ram | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (WJC 2018 Gold-Medal Game) | 1/5/2018 | 1/5/2018 | 10159 |
Rasmus Dahlin | Note | Note really sure what else can be said, he just has so many elite-level tools and uses all of them appropriately. Just a stellar hockey player. He should already be in the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Sweden (WJC 2018 Gold-Medal Game) | 1/5/2018 | 1/5/2018 | 10159 |
Filip Zadina | Note | Second-unit penalty kill on the 5-min major | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/30/2017 | 12/30/2017 | 10158 |
Filip Zadina | Note | So good at making himself available in the offensive zone, moving into the open spaces and keeping foot positioning to be ready for the puck. When he does get it, he's ready to react with shot, pass or control. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/30/2017 | 12/30/2017 | 10158 |
Filip Zadina | Note | I like his willingness to mix it up in the corners and at the net, skilled players getting their hands dirty make me happy. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/30/2017 | 12/30/2017 | 10158 |
Filip Zadina | Note | Zapp! When the puck gets close to him at the low circle, there's a slight whiff of ozone as the puck hits the net. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/30/2017 | 12/30/2017 | 10158 |
Filip Zadina | Summary | Elite-level offensive skills and excellent hockey sense and on-ice awareness combined with the willingness to always let his feet take him to the right spot on the ice, regardless of the battering he might take by going there. Zadina is a disruptive player that is a threat to make something good happen at all times, and he continues to show why he should be the top consideration for third overall in the 2018 draft. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/30/2017 | 12/30/2017 | 10158 |
Ivan Drozdov | Note | Above-average skating on his edges and balance, but twice on this powerplay shift he has mishandled pucks that came to his stick and lost scoring chances because of it. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/30/2017 | 12/30/2017 | 10158 |
Jakub Lauko | Note | Skating is underwhelming | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/30/2017 | 12/30/2017 | 10158 |
Martin Kaut | Note | Nifty backhand pass off his defensive-zone corner boards, safe but quick pass finds the breakout man. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/30/2017 | 12/30/2017 | 10158 |
Martin Kaut | Note | Size and tenacity, takes the puck north/south, but not the fleetest of feet | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/30/2017 | 12/30/2017 | 10158 |
Vladislav Ryadchenko | Note | Throws a good hip check | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/30/2017 | 12/30/2017 | 10158 |
Vladislav Ryadchenko | Summary | An excellent, near-elite level skater who is constantly on the move. Unfortunately, at this time his hands don't seem to match the skills in his feet, and skating can only take a player so far. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/30/2017 | 12/30/2017 | 10158 |
Vojtech Budik | Note | Penalty kill unit to kill a 5-min major early in the game | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/30/2017 | 12/30/2017 | 10158 |
Andrei Altybarmakyan | Note | Gliding through the offensive zone, sees a play developing and two steps gets him to a loose puck in the slot, but the puck skips off his stick | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |
Andrei Altybarmakyan | Note | Like his balance and leg strength a lot | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |
Andrei Altybarmakyan | Summary | Not a big player at 5'11, 183 pounds, but he shows a high-work-rate effort at all times, strong and balanced, but his offensive skills are a bit wanting and will likely govern his ultimate level of play. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Outhustling the opposition in the offensive zone, using his stick and his feet to gain position | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Great effort on the backcheck. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Fantastic shift battling in front of the net with two players on him, keeps his feet moving, works free to get the puck, goes behind the net, finds Kostin for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Generates so much effortless power from his skates. Does he realize he's on ice? | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Constantly pushing play, highly active shift yet again. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Summary | Simply an excellent player who takes advantage of every small opportunity presented to him on the ice. In a tournament where his ice time was limited by coaching who decided to play older players more often and having just recently returned to the ice after missing 6 weeks or so with a broken hand, Svechnikov still managed a point-per-game production and looked consistently threatening on every shift. Size, quickness, strength and lethal offensive skills. (General summary of all tournament viewings). | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |
Dmitri Sokolov | Note | Not much burst from a standstill, takes several choppy strides to get to speed | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |
Dmitri Sokolov | Note | Floating in his own end, more watching than watchful, and when the puck comes to his zone he misses his responsibility and allows a prime chance against. Sloppy play there. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |
Klim Kostin | Note | Finally starting to look like he's back to form and finding a steady rhythm after having missed all of that time with the injury in his draft year. Seems more like the player I remember from two years ago. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |
Maxim Sushko | Note | Carries the puck with speed through the neutral zone, but looses the puck off his stick and blows a tire trying to recover. Unforced error. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |

Vladislav Ryadchenko | Note | Agility is excellent, hips are lightning in pivots, feet are light. Superb skating and quickness. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |

Vladislav Ryadchenko | Note | Goes to the front of the net looking for a rebound, but the Russian netminder swallows it up. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/29/2017 | 12/29/2017 | 10157 |

Jesper Boqvist | Note | Highly maneuverable, showing really nice edgework and lateral quickness | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10156 |
Jesper Boqvist | Note | Gets up to speed in just a couple of strides. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10156 |
Krystof Hrabik | Note | Looks a bit off center, having issues keeping his feet planted in contact and loses pace when transitioning front to back. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10156 |
Oskar Steen | Note | So fast and smooth on his skates. Flies down the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10156 |
Oskar Steen | Note | Uses his feet to change direction along the boards, forces a tripping call. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10156 |
Radovan Pavlik | Note | Highly active in the offensive zone, making himself available for passes and moving quickly without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10156 |
Radovan Pavlik | Note | Like his size and mobility and the way he goes into the mix whenever possible. That level of competitiveness and skating will take him far. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10156 |
Adam Ruzicka | Note | Locked on Steel in the Slovakian defensive zone, showing good positioning and strength on his stick to tie up the Canadian scorer. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Slovakia (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10155 |

Drake Batherson | Note | Certainly not the pretty skater, looks all knees and elbows | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Slovakia (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10155 |
Erik Smolka | Note | PK duty, edgework looks like it needs polishing. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Slovakia (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10155 |
Erik Smolka | Note | Active stick breaks up a cross-ice pass while on the penalty kill, but he ends up trying to cover three players while his unit mates watch. Goal against. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Slovakia (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10155 |
Jordan Kyrou | Note | What magic in his hands to absolutely undress the exhausted Smolka and snap a clean wrist shot for the Canada goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Slovakia (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10155 |

Taylor Raddysh | Note | Battling in front of the net on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Slovakia (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10155 |
Taylor Raddysh | Note | What a pass, behind his back to find Steel for a near-goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Slovakia (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10155 |
Taylor Raddysh | Note | Looks okay at speed, but his acceleration looks sluggish | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Slovakia (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10155 |
Taylor Raddysh | Note | Parked at the crease on the powerplay, tips a pass--saved--finds the rebound, snaps it up just under the bar for the powerplay goal. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Slovakia (WJC 2018) | 12/27/2017 | 12/27/2017 | 10155 |
Aleksi Heponiemi | Note | Grabs a horrible decision from Clague behind his own net, and nearly gets his second goal of the game, but he couldn't quite get the handle at the doorstep. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10154 |
Boris Katchouk | Note | Using his feet and hands to protect the puck and get a clean zone entry. He's having an excellent game. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10154 |
Dillon Dube | Note | Fantastic play off of the defensive-zone boards to hit Gadjovich with a clean breakout on the penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10154 |

Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Continues to have issues creating his own space, which limits his opportunities on the small ice. Love his play when he has the room, but I continue to be concerned that he is a big-ice player. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10154 |
Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Gets his shot off so quickly, it always seems surprising the way it jumps off his stick | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10154 |
Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Huge one-timer that should have gone in, but Hart with some heroics to keep it out of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10154 |

Miro Heiskanen | Note | Passed on a shot opportunity that he should have taken. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10154 |

Olli Juolevi | Note | Gap control continues to improve beyond what was already excellent. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10154 |
Robert Thomas | Note | Goes hard to the net and gets a pass from the corner, but foiled by a nice save. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10154 |
Robert Thomas | Note | Buzzing with his line mates, spent an entire shift in the Finn zone, causing all kinds of issues. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs Finland (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10154 |

Andrei Altybarmakyan | Note | Still working hard, puts a hit on the Czech puck carrier. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10153 |

German Rubtsov | Note | Effective in the offensive zone, maintaining possession, keeping his head up, finding teammates in dangerous spots and has two assists in the last three minutes of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10153 |
Martin Necas | Note | Left, right, stop, start, has the Russian defense scrambling to cover him. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10153 |

Martin Necas | Summary | Necas's game continues to improve in all aspects. His on-ice development has been excellent, but the one thing that hasn't really improved at all has been his already remarkable leadership and work ethic. Necas has always been a player that spurs his team on with his nonstop effort and now that the rest of his game--skating, immediate change of direction, shot and passing--have caught up to his iq and natural leadership, he has become as close to an NHL certainty as prospects can get. Excellent and admirable hockey player. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10153 |
Ostap Safin | Note | Agility and balance are really good, and he takes a hit to get the puck out of his zone. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2018) | 12/26/2017 | 12/26/2017 | 10153 |

Rasmus Dahlin | Note | Elite skating ability and size, hands, smarts. Just so much fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs Sweden (WJC Exhibition) | 12/22/2017 | 12/22/2017 | 10152 |

Jacob Schmidt-Svejstrup | Note | Looks mindful of his defensive responsibilities and is often the first forward back | Brian Fogarty | Fargo vs USNTDP (USHL) | 12/1/2017 | 12/18/2017 | 10151 |

Jacob Schmidt-Svejstrup | Note | Blocks a pass in his own end and then receives a quick pass and gets out on a breakaway. One quick move to his forehand then wrists it home top right corner. Good illustration of his game there: responsible D, good read of the play, nice hands to finish. | Brian Fogarty | Fargo vs USNTDP (USHL) | 12/1/2017 | 12/18/2017 | 10151 |
Jacob Schmidt-Svejstrup | Summary | Hard working player with size and agility, has quick hands in tight but looks a bit tentative at times to release his shot from distance. Plays a two-way game and is effective at both ends of the ice, but he could use some power skating work to improve his straight-line speed and acceleration. Not an explosive player, but a workhorse who won't hurt his team regardless of the role he's put in. Can kill penalties or work the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Fargo vs USNTDP (USHL) | 12/1/2017 | 12/18/2017 | 10151 |
K'Andre Miller | Note | Tries to carry the puck into the offensive zone, losses the handle and the puck rolls into the corner | Brian Fogarty | Fargo vs USNTDP (USHL) | 12/1/2017 | 12/18/2017 | 10151 |
Oliver Wahlstrom | Note | So composed with the puck, nothing looks like it rattles him at all. | Brian Fogarty | Fargo vs USNTDP (USHL) | 12/1/2017 | 12/18/2017 | 10151 |
Ty Farmer | Note | Good shoulder into the puck carrier along the boards behind the net, but loses balance and goes to the ice, allowing the puck carrier to recover and generate a chance. | Brian Fogarty | Fargo vs USNTDP (USHL) | 12/1/2017 | 12/18/2017 | 10151 |
Ty Farmer | Note | Really quick off the puck, closes gaps in an instant, and just as quick once he gets the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Fargo vs USNTDP (USHL) | 12/1/2017 | 12/18/2017 | 10151 |
Ty Farmer | Note | Sends an accurate diagonal pass to try to start a breakout, but the man he targeted was tied up and took a big hit. | Brian Fogarty | Fargo vs USNTDP (USHL) | 12/1/2017 | 12/18/2017 | 10151 |

Noah Dobson | Note | Playing on the left point on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Acadie-Bathurst (QMJHL) | 12/15/2017 | 12/15/2017 | 10150 |
Noah Dobson | Note | Easy stride generates speed and power | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs Acadie-Bathurst (QMJHL) | 12/15/2017 | 12/15/2017 | 10150 |

Casey Gilling | Summary | Small player, good in the corners, quick hands, but doesn't seem to have any above average skills beyond that.

Dawson Dipietro | Note | Small, active player in his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Dawson Dipietro | Note | Smooth on his feet, quick stride, uses his skate to tap a puck back onto his stick in traffic, draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Hugh McGing | Note | Hard work in front of his own net, keeps his stick in the passing lane and makes a nice interception | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Hugh McGing | Note | Skates bent over at the waist instead of a natural deep knee bend, | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Karch Bachman | Note | Good speed through the neutral zone, rushes past the defender and fire a shot, deflected over the net. Good on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Karch Bachman | Note | Slick drop pass sets up a trailer. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Karch Bachman | Note | Power move to the front of the net, drops his shoulder, turns the D, shot rings off the post. Plays and looks bigger than his listed size, | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Karch Bachman | Note | Stupid penalty on the powerplay, completely unnecessary interference penalty in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Karch Bachman | Note | Shot is hard and consistently on net. Gets a lot of power behind his wrist shot without much winding into it, | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Karch Bachman | Note | Quicker than I expect him to be. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Karch Bachman | Summary | Quick skater, hard shot that can be dangerous for its pace more than pinpoint accuracy. Solid player that could improve enough for a bottom six role in the NHL if everything comes together for him. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Louis Belpedio | Note | A bit clunky on his pivot there. Could have been situational, but not a pleasing transition. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |

Louis Belpedio | Summary | Likes the puck on his stick and for good reason. He can make things happen with his shot and passing, but the rest of his game is lagging at this point in his development. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |

Wade Allison | Note | Poor choice to try to push the puck to the point on the powerplay instead of turning the puck into the corner, result is a turnover, odd-man rush and a shorthanded goal against | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Wade Allison | Note | Lunges for the puck a lot when he's trying to break up a play, trying to use his reach but leaning out too far and gets himself off center balance. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Wade Allison | Note | Good hand-eye coordination to find a bouncing puck in the crease and tap it into the net. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |

Wade Allison | Note | Again at the top of the crease, but when the puck goes behind the net, he pushes out to the mid-slot area, gets a pass, fires a shot top left corner that barely misses. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Wade Allison | Note | Been getting double shifts the entire 3rd period while the Broncos are down by a goal, then even after he tied the game at three. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Wade Allison | Note | His wrist shot is slow to release, but nasty when it comes off of his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |

Wade Allison | Summary | Big, power forward type who plays his best game in front of the net. Defensively, he looks like a guy who just wants to go back up ice. Hands are excellent in tight, scores his goals from the dirty, high-danger areas, but not really a threat at distance. His game is all five feet in front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Western Michigan vs Miami University | 12/9/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10149 |
Aapeli Rasanen | Note | Big hit on Tkachuk in the corner. Not often you see Tkachuk get dropped like that. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Aapeli Rasanen | Summary | Had moments of skill, a bit of physicality, but was also invisible for a lot of the game. Decent wheels, but nothing in his game stood out to me. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Aapeli Rasanen | Note | Good quick wrister for an early goal, defender lifted his stick but he was able to bear down and get the shot away. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Brady Tkachuk | Note | Muscling players off of pucks and leaning on guys in the corner, using that size and physicality | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Brady Tkachuk | Note | Second-unit powerplay followed shortly by first-unit penalty killing unit, gets a short-handed partial break, but his deke doesn't fool Woll and the shot is saved. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Brady Tkachuk | Note | Hard, hard wrist shot from distance caused big trouble for Woll, but the nettie fought it off. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Brady Tkachuk | Note | Gets another chance at a shorthanded breakaway, and this time he leaves the deke out of the equation and just fires a wrist shot up over Woll's glove. Also liked his speed there, pulling away from three BC players who were trying to chase him down. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Brady Tkachuk | Note | Looked like his older brother there, muscling his way to the front of the net, imposing his will with one hand on his stick while defenders are tugging on his arm, pulling at his waist, grabbing at anything they can, yet Brady still manages to one-hand the puck into the goaltender's skates, and eventually Tkachuk earns the assist and the rebound is slammed home. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Brady Tkachuk | Summary | Big, aggressive, intense, with a good skills package. Above average speed, but nothing spectacular in his skating. Just so strong on and off the puck and like his brother Matt, he knows how to use his tools. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Chad Krys | Note | Playing left point on the powerplay with Fabbro on the opposite point | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Chad Krys | Note | Smart play by Bowers gives Krys an opportunity, and his snap shot is on target through a screen--saved, but a good chance | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Chad Krys | Note | Calm skater, never looks harried, but always on the move. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |

Logan Hutsko | Note | Tries to force a backhand pass off the boards at the defensive blue line. Not smart. I almost always hate that pass. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Logan Hutsko | Note | Shows a hard shot, but hasn't created many opportunities to use it. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Logan Hutsko | Summary | Ultrahigh compete level, always working, always going at full tilt. Maybe not the most talented player, but he has solid acceleration and a hard if not especially dangerous shot. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Luke McInnis | Summary | A bit heavy-footed which limits his effectiveness at this point. Will drift in from the point on set plays, but just didn't see much from him in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |
Shane Bowers | Note | Always active and trying to make something happen: taking shots, breaking up passes, finding open players, getting to the crease. Gets awarded for his effort with a tip-in goal. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |

Shane Bowers | Note | Does all the little, detailed things consistently well, just not a lot of mental errors in his game. | Brian Fogarty | Boston University vs Boston College (NCAA) | 12/2/2017 | 12/10/2017 | 10148 |

Jake Evans | Note | Great, soft pass from behind the net to find Burke for an easy one-touch goal. | Brian Fogarty | Minnesota vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 11/25/2017 | 11/25/2017 | 10147 |

Filip Zadina | Note | Top powerplay unit with Lavoie and Fortier to start the second period. This group looks dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Filip Zadina | Note | Also getting penalty kill duty, and based on about thirty seconds of that shift, he could easily be an NHL PK specialist if all else fails. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Filip Zadina | Note | His game is incredibly smooth: passing, skating, up and down the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Filip Zadina | Summary | High-quality player with an excellent assortment of tools, the kind of player that could be a top-five draft pick for 2018. On this first viewing, I'm not ready to call any one attribute elite, but there are not a lot of players his age that are excellent at every aspect of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Nathaniel Doyon | Note | Physical, throwing forecheck hits all over the place. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Nathaniel Doyon | Note | Quick wrist shot from the high slot with a defender all over him. Sharp and dangerous shot. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Nathaniel Doyon | Note | Disciplined defender in his own zone, active feet and decent gaps, passing lane disruptions. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Nathaniel Doyon | Summary | Two-way player who has a physical edge, but not a lot of offensive upside apparent in this viewing. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Nikita Alexandrov | Note | Paying a lot of attention to his defensive responsibilities early. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Nikita Alexandrov | Note | Wrecking-ball player when he doesn't have the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Nikita Alexandrov | Note | Remarkable balance at full speed to keep his foot on the ice and ward off an offsides call. That was ridiculous. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Nikita Alexandrov | Note | Tries to slap a bouncing puck back at the net, but couldn't connect. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Nikita Alexandrov | Note | Intense player, goes hard and plays much bigger than he looks. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Nikita Alexandrov | Summary | Born one day too late for the 2018 draft, Alexandrov will get an extra year to develop. His current game lacks offensive flair, but he is nonstop energy and his physical play is a threat. Aggressive forechecker and player who will do anything to get the puck back for his team. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Pierre-Olivier Joseph | Note | Long, powerful strides with good form. Really can move well down the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Pierre-Olivier Joseph | Note | Quick read to make a crisp breakout pass on a reset. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Pierre-Olivier Joseph | Note | Uses his length well to keep attackers away from the loose puck and reach out to coral it himself. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Pierre-Olivier Joseph | Note | At his blue line, pushing the puck up ice, had a choice of two passes, but took the one that looked riskier to me. He tried to find Alexandrov instead of the safer option. I understand why, but sometimes it is better to certain. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Pierre-Olivier Joseph | Note | Long-shift, but he really struggled to get back deep and keep an icing call intact. Nearly got beat out by two Halifax players. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Pierre-Olivier Joseph | Note | Over-commits to the puck carrier at the circle and leaves a huge opening at the crease. Easy goal for the opposition. Only an early-shift offsides (reviewed) prevented the goal against from hitting the scoreboard. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Pierre-Olivier Joseph | Note | Attacks a puck at the red line while on the penalty kill, risky but well-played. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Pierre-Olivier Joseph | Summary | Good passer, good skater, risk taker. Needs desperately to add some weight (currently listed as 6'2, 161 pounds) and to cut down on some of the riskier aspects of his game, but he shows good offensive awareness and stick skills. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Good knee bend in his stride, a little clunky on the pivot on his first shift | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Digging hard on the backcheck. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Like his edgework on the powerplay, constant movement, keeping his body to the puck, finding space. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Nice hands to pull the puck close then try to chip a pass out of his defensive zone, but I'd rather have seen him actually make a safer play there. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Takes a nifty pass from Zadina in the high slot, dips to his left, and beats the netminder clearly far-side corner. Soft hands and heady shot selection. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | He needs some work on his pivots forwards to backward, there's a bit of a hop-and-turn instead of smooth conversion. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Slick hands, deking through traffic, curls behind the net and finds Bishop in the circle for a one-timer goal. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Raphael Lavoie | Summary | The 2019-draft-eligible forward showed good hands, edgework and finishing ability. Great size at 6'3 and still has plenty of time to add to his 176 pounds. Still some polishing to do on some of the rougher edges of his game, but Lavoie is a player to monitor. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 10/1/2017 | 10/1/2017 | 10144 |
Anders Bjork | Note | Buzzing early, showing off his quickness and ability to jump into open spaces. Working hard off the puck in the offensive zone, gets free to receive a pass and fires a quick wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Anders Bjork | Note | Getting powerplay time, and first to the loose pucks consistently. Such good anticipation and burst. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Anders Bjork | Note | Finding high-vision passing opportunities and connecting consistently | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Anders Bjork | Note | Bad backhand pass off the boards in the offensive zone leads to an easy turnover, but he jumps quickly back to defend the breakout with a nice poke check to get the puck back for his team | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Anders Bjork | Summary | All hustle and controlled intensity, with excellent vision and game awareness. Opponents in the NHL are going to hate playing against him, especially in playoff scenarios | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Jeremy Lauzon | Note | Pulls a puck out of a scrum and deftly flicks it up ice and out of the defensive zone. Smart, handsy play. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Jeremy Lauzon | Note | Not sure what he was doing there, but he just slapped a pass through the neutral zone for an icing. Confusing choice, since he was not under pressure and the probability of a forward receiving that pass with an alacrity is minimal, at best | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Nolan Patrick | Note | Very quiet so far in the first 15 minutes of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Nolan Patrick | Note | Looks a bit out of sorts in his own end, but when he has the puck in the offensive zone, looks more confident and effective. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Nolan Patrick | Note | Reads the play well, recognizing that Sanheim had pinched in deep, and retreats back to the left-defense spot all the way back into the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Nolan Patrick | Summary | The skills are apparent when he has the puck, but he's just not ready for the NHL yet. The year lost to injuries in 2016-2017 juniors needs to be regained this season, but he should be ready for 2018-2019 | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Oscar Lindblom | Note | Not fast, really, but smooth quickness and so well balanced on his skates, helps him tremendously in front of the net and in the corners where he will be most effective. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Oscar Lindblom | Note | Needs to get some hustle, showing no jump in this game so far, at all. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Oscar Lindblom | Note | That was a nice shift in the defensive zone, active stick, quick feet, poised aggressive defense, then a quick transition up the ice after the turnover. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Oscar Lindblom | Summary | Lindblom is a very good hockey player with strong skates and balance and who knows how to convert and extend plays low in the offensive zone. He is not a player who will beat defenders one-on-one, but he will torture them once in the zone by just making plays happen. Needs to pick up the pace a bit, but made good in-game adjustments in this contest that helps my opinion of his play. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Travis Sanheim | Note | Soft pass through the neutral zone in transition, hits the headman in stride for a simple offensive-zone entry | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Travis Sanheim | Note | Gets up into the offensive play and gets a good, low shot on net that Rask fought off. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Travis Sanheim | Note | Another time up ice, this time flying up to join the rush, zips a nice wrist shot that beats Rask this time. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Travis Sanheim | Note | So aggressive trying to move up ice all the time without the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Travis Sanheim | Note | Good display of gap control and stickwork to win a one-on-one play against the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Travis Sanheim | Summary | Offensive defender whose defensive game needs some improvement, but is NHL caliber already. His skating is improved and his non-stop intent to get involved in the offensive play is both fun to watch and dangerous at the same time. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Zachary Senyshyn | Note | Hard wrist shot from the top of the left circle, but not challenging for the netminder. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Zachary Senyshyn | Summary | Still seeing some of the issues I've seen from him in the past, namely that when he has the puck or has a chance of getting the puck, he shows effort and skills that could make him a quality NHLer, but without the puck, he drifts and loses energy and focus. If he can pull that around and play with similar work rates at both ends of the ice, he could be a solid middle-six forward in the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Boston vs Philadelphia (NHL Preseason) | 9/21/2017 | 43003 | 10143 |
Kerby Rychel | Note | Skating is improved, but could still be better in a straight line. | Brian Fogarty | Toronto vs Ottawa (NHL Preseason) | 9/19/2017 | 42997 | 10142 |
Logan Brown | Note | Snaps a wrist shot from the dot and beats Andersen easily. Sweet release after a good play to create the initial turnover and begin the sequence. | Brian Fogarty | Toronto vs Ottawa (NHL Preseason) | 9/19/2017 | 42997 | 10142 |
Logan Brown | Note | Another nice play, this team swooping into the offensive zone from the blue line to collect a loose puck and get it quickly on net. | Brian Fogarty | Toronto vs Ottawa (NHL Preseason) | 9/19/2017 | 42997 | 10142 |
Logan Brown | Note | Moves so well for such a huge player. Playing sound defense tonight, as well. | Brian Fogarty | Toronto vs Ottawa (NHL Preseason) | 9/19/2017 | 42997 | 10142 |
Logan Brown | Summary | Much improved in his quickness and confidence, and he looks like he could be ready to play in the NHL. He skates incredibly well for his size, with balance and smooth movements. Good instincts and hustle, too. | Brian Fogarty | Toronto vs Ottawa (NHL Preseason) | 9/19/2017 | 42997 | 10142 |
Max Reinhart | Note | Compact stride, good speed and balance | Brian Fogarty | Toronto vs Ottawa (NHL Preseason) | 9/19/2017 | 42997 | 10142 |
Max Reinhart | Note | Good work in a corner scrum, holds off the opponent until he gets the puck free from feet, then makes a sharp pass to a teammate for a chance. | Brian Fogarty | Toronto vs Ottawa (NHL Preseason) | 9/19/2017 | 42997 | 10142 |
Max Reinhart | Summary | Can skate the NHL game, can hustle the NHL game, but I'm not convinced he can think the NHL game. | Brian Fogarty | Toronto vs Ottawa (NHL Preseason) | 9/19/2017 | 42997 | 10142 |
Kasperi Kapanen | Note | Puck handling is solid at speed and he makes difficult cuts look easy while maintaining possession | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Toronto (NHL Preseason) | 9/18/2017 | 42996 | 10141 |
Kasperi Kapanen | Note | Darts in and out of the middle, but I would like to see him really dig in every now and then and claim his position on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Toronto (NHL Preseason) | 9/18/2017 | 42996 | 10141 |
Logan Stanley | Summary | Still a lot of doubt about whether or not he has the feet to be an NHL defender. Size and physicality to do the job, but it is still unclear if he has the overall hockey iq to make up for his poor footwork | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Toronto (NHL Preseason) | 9/18/2017 | 42996 | 10141 |
Pius Suter | Note | Getting PK time, smooth and agile skater, but tentative in this game. He's active, though, and engaged. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Toronto (NHL Preseason) | 9/18/2017 | 42996 | 10141 |
Pius Suter | Note | Like his quickness and acceleration | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Toronto (NHL Preseason) | 9/18/2017 | 42996 | 10141 |
Pius Suter | Summary | Suter has a lot of tools including excellent acceleration, agility, and hockey iq, but he looks like a player better suited to the bigger European ice than the tighter confines of North American rinks. Willing to take a bump, but doesn't seem eager to get into the fray. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Toronto (NHL Preseason) | 9/18/2017 | 42996 | 10141 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Aggressive pinch to get to a loose puck, good quick burst, decisive and most importantly, it was the right choice | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Toronto (NHL Preseason) | 9/18/2017 | 42996 | 10141 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Nice rush up ice, maneuvers in deep | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Toronto (NHL Preseason) | 9/18/2017 | 42996 | 10141 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Patient with the puck in traffic, sees the whole ice really well, and no apprehension in his game at all | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Toronto (NHL Preseason) | 9/18/2017 | 42996 | 10141 |
Thomas Chabot | Summary | Chabot is blossoming into an absolute stud defender, and looks like a future top-pair perineal all-star | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Toronto (NHL Preseason) | 9/18/2017 | 42996 | 10141 |
Timothy Liljegren | Note | Fun to watch him skate, and his gambling passes pay off, they are beauties. | Brian Fogarty | Ottawa vs Toronto (NHL Preseason) | 9/18/2017 | 42996 | 10141 |
Brady Tkachuk | Note | On defense it's constant pursuit for him, often at the expense of positioning, but his compete level is off the charts. | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Brady Tkachuk | Note | Like his game a lot: size, effort, physicality. Not as skillful as his older brother, maybe, but his intensity is immeasurable. Not a face-puncher, just a dominant force. | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Cale Makar | Note | Looks even faster that in the spring, if that's possible | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Cale Makar | Note | Holds off an eager Gettinger by using body position. Excellent puck protection | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Cale Makar | Note | Loses the puck in his skates and Tufte takes it away. | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Cody Glass | Note | Just a good hockey player | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Cody Glass | Note | Worst-case scenario for Glass is that he becomes a bottom-six faceoff specialist who plays a decade in the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Jake Bean | Note | Active stick, but still needs to close up gaps a bit more quickly and more decisively | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Jake Bean | Note | Good defense against a charging Wahlstrom, turns him to the outside then pokes the puck away. | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Jake Bean | Note | Skilled skater does the little things incredibly well | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Jake Bean | Note | Breaks his stick attempting a slap shot, then as the puck floats to an opposing forward, hurries back, gets position, bodies up on the puck carrier and takes him out of the play. Patient and smart, that. | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Jake Bean | Note | Great poke check on the PK | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Logan Cockerill | Note | Plays at full speed every shift | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Logan Stanley | Note | Can't handle Dhooge's quickness. Still looks lumbersome. | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Logan Stanley | Note | Lack of mobility allows Gettinger to get to a loose puck and sneak a shot down the goal line and into the net. You can't allow that in the NHL. Or the AHL for that matter. | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Mikey Anderson | Note | Good, deep knee bend, but could improve his extensions | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Mikey Anderson | Note | Seems like his reach is 30 feet long, his active stick is really effective | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Mikey Anderson | Note | Misses a one-timer wide | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Mikey Anderson | Note | Excellent awareness in all three zones | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Mikey Anderson | Summary | Raw player who has a nice skillset for an NHL defenseman, but he needs a good couple of years to polish up his overall game. He shows smarts, good quickness, and a lot of positional awareness. | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Oliver Wahlstrom | Note | Wahlstrom, as a 2018, will be interesting to watch this year. Fast, exuberant, raw. | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | So hard to handle down low on the goal line, active, strong, heavy | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Cuts hard to the slot, draws a trip, fires a shot on his to the ice | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Liking his quickness in this game. He's looking more like he did in his draft year, and seems to have shrugged off some of the post-draft-year lethargy. | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Sean Dhooge | Note | Just completely gifted as a player--he goes hard every shift, fights through checks and traffic, superb vision and puck skills. Great hockey player whose size is truly the only seriously limiting factor | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Sean Dhooge | Summary | More fun to watch play than almost anyone in the game, but he has such a huge hill to climb at his size. I've said it before, but if you're not a fan of Dhooge, you're not a fan of hockey. | Brian Fogarty | Canada White vs US Blue (WJ Summer Showcase) | 8/1/2017 | Not Available | 10140 |
Brady Tkachuk | Note | Play-disrupting machine down low, smashing his way to the net | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |

Jacob Moverare | Note | Tough shot block late in the first period. | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Jacob Moverare | Note | Great body positioning, and moves well to the right spots at both ends of the ice | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Jacob Moverare | Note | Doesn't look totally comfortable skating the puck up ice, but he is a decent puck handler | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Jesper Sellegren | Note | Gives Brady Tkachuk too much space at the crease, and Tkachuk makes him pay by deflecting a point-shot attempt into the net for a powerplay goal. | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Lias Andersson | Note | Winning a lot of offensive zone faceoffs | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Lias Andersson | Note | Such a smart, possession-based player. So calm with the puck, knows how to protect it and willing to wait as long as it takes for the right play to open up. | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Lias Andersson | Note | Saved a wraparound attempt from Tkachuk after Sweden's netminder was caught out of position | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |

Rasmus Dahlin | Note | Tries to start a breakout with a pass that nearly got his forward destroyed. Not the first bad pass I've seen from Dahlin in this game. | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Rasmus Dahlin | Note | Good shoulder check, nice physicality and he's absorbing the continual US attacks against him | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Rasmus Dahlin | Note | Good vision to rip a diagonal pass though the offensive zone, right on the tape | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |

Rasmus Dahlin | Note | Pivots his hips so quickly and easily that it's hard to notice when he does it. | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Rasmus Dahlin | Note | Reads the defensive zone play perfectly and just intercepts a pass in stride as if it was intended for him in the first place. | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Rasmus Dahlin | Note | Tremendous puck carrier, pushes defenders back with his speed and agility, and can fire a wrister once he's in the offensive zone. A dangerous weapon in all aspects of the game. | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Rasmus Dahlin | Note | Stickhandles through Jason Robertson's legs and steps around him, Sick move in his own end! | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Unwise interference takes away a full minute of a US two-man advantage. Needs to be more aware and controlled there. | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Big, solid forward with good feet, but he's stronger than he is fast | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Riley Tufte | Note | Could have been called for another interference penalty there. | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |

Sean Dhooge | Note | When he touches the puck, a jolt rips through the arena. | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Timothy Liljegren | Note | Decisive from the point on the powerplay, firing low shots on goal that are problematic for the US netminder | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Timothy Liljegren | Note | What an ill-advised pass from his own corner right to the slot, where only a misplay by the US forward prevented a goal against. That was ugly. | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |
Timothy Liljegren | Note | Excellent defensive coverage to tie up his man and then strip the puck away from him. | Brian Fogarty | USA Blue vs Sweden (WJSS) | 7/30/2017 | Not Available | 10139 |

German Poddubnyi | Note | Good balance and agility, but average straight-line speed at best | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
German Poddubnyi | Summary | Buzzes both zones, goes to the net and the dirty areas of the ice with effectiveness. Not a lot of skill on display, and his speed is below average despite showing good edgework and balance. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Ivan Lodnia | Note | Incredibly wide skating stride. So much wasted movement | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Ivan Lodnia | Note | Loses so much skating power because he doesn't bring his feet back under his body. It's a shame, because he shows decent quickness | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Ivan Lodnia | Summary | Not a lot to see in this game. Lodnia has some skill, but his skating must improve if he is going to have a successful future. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Jacob Moverare | Note | Nice gap control and a quick poke check easily breaks up an attack | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Michael McLeod | Note | If McLeod had any offensive creativity he'd be a highly dangerous player. His hands are decent and his skating is superb | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Michael McLeod | Note | So effective on the penalty kill because of his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Nick Hague | Note | Long, slow-footed strides, but his legs are so long he covers a lot of ice surface | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Nick Hague | Summary | Tall, offensively-minded defender with long legs and a long stride. He's not as agile as I'd like, and he gets turned around at times in the defensive zone and has difficulty sticking with quick forwards if he can't block their path. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Nick Hague | Note | Still not a fan of his skating or his decision making in the defensive end. Better, yes, but still a lot of room for improvement | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |

Owen Tippett | Note | Strong shoulder check at the blue line boards | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |

Owen Tippett | Note | Pretty good skating backwards, though he doesn't play much defense so it's not displayed often | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Owen Tippett | Summary | Solid offensive skills and above average speed, but his effort was questionable in this game despite the fact that it was game five of the OHL Finals. With a one-goal lead, he looked like he still wanted to cherry-pick out of the neutral zone | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Shaw Boomhower | Note | Good effort on the backcheck, but his strides are short and choppy, limiting his drive | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Shaw Boomhower | Note | Stands upright as he tries to accelerate, really hurting his burst. Decent speed once he gets to it, though. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Shaw Boomhower | Note | Floating a bit at the defensive blue line instead of cutting down to protect the top of the slot. Raddysh then ties the game with Boomhower trying to get down to him | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Shaw Boomhower | Note | Goes off for a clear boarding at 17:31 of OT, an ill-advised play that leads to the OHL championship goal against just 12 seconds later | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Shaw Boomhower | Summary | Plays an okay game, with a willingness to mix it up physically and go to the difficult spots, but his skating is problematic and his effort was inconsistent in this game. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Erie (OHL) | 5/12/2017 | Not Available | 10138 |
Brady Tkachuk | Note | Beautiful sequence: Battles down low, chases down the breakout attempt, lifts the stick, steals the puck, finds Norris at the doorstep for an easy goal.

Grant Mismash | Note | Every time I see him, the skills are there, but he just lacks the ability to put all of the pieces together. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |
Joel Farabee | Note | Farabee's second goal comes after serious effort on the penalty kill. Ugly stride gets him there, smooth hands finish. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |

Joni Ikonen | Note | Pull up stop behind the net, shakes the D for a half-second and he finds Vesalainen in front of the net. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |
Joni Ikonen | Note | Love it when guys skate like they don't have to think about it at all, like they have a symbiotic relationship with the ice. Ikonen has that quality. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |

Miro Heiskanen | Note | Another display of quality positioning. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |

Miro Heiskanen | Note | Soft wrister after entering the zone. Would like more zip there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |
Miro Heiskanen | Note | Thirty seconds left, down 4-2, and he's behind the net in the offensive zone trying to make something happen. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |
Oliver Wahlstrom | Note | Lines up a defender who was trying to break out, misses the clean hit. Not a controlled play. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |
Quinton Hughes | Note | Great move to gain space, then finds Mismash for an easy goal. Hughes with lovely puck movement there. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |
Ryan Poehling | Note | Has the look of a heavy second-line power forward in the near future. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |
Ryan Poehling | Note | Perfect positioning on the penalty kill, intercepts a slot pass and sends it down the ice. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |

Urho Vaakanainen | Note | Gave up possession at the offensive blue line when he didn't need to. Just lofted the puck behind the net to no one instead of holding for a better play. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |
Urho Vaakanainen | Note | Another suicide pass. Kid really needs to clean that up before he gets a teammate killed. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |
Urho Vaakanainen | Note | Decisions are better than his hands. | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Finland (U18s) | 4/23/2017 | Not Available | 10137 |

Conor Timmins | Note | Patient, nice job finding the right target on the breakout and getting him a smooth, soft pass | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |

Conor Timmins | Note | Long legs, not very agile and has difficulty transitioning | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Conor Timmins | Note | Good stickhandling. Just pulled a bad pass out of his skates and moved it quickly to a teammate. | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Conor Timmins | Note | Just not a good skater at all, mechanics are a mess. His passing is his key attribute. | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Conor Timmins | Note | Pushes his slapshot instead of ripping it. | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Conor Timmins | Note | Covers a lot of ground because his legs are so long, and his hands are nifty, but his skating is woeful | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Conor Timmins | Summary | Taller than he is big (currently listed at 6'1, 182), was not overly physical, but he did show good offensive vision and sense. In his own end, his positioning was okay, but his skating hinders his effectiveness in all aspects of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Jonah Gadjovich | Note | Strong net-front presence, a battler with good compete. Hands look suspicious | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |

Jonah Gadjovich | Summary | Strong on his skates and physical without being overly aggressive. Plays the front of the net and makes the game difficult for those trying to defend the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Kevin Hancock | Note | Real nose for the net, has a deceptive, accurate shot | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Kevin Hancock | Summary | Offensive skills are there, skating is a bit suspect, but there's no question that he likes to get the puck toward the net. His shot is a positive as is his offensive instincts. | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Morgan Frost | Note | Good awareness, a calm presence on the ice allows his vision to be effective. | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |

Morgan Frost | Note | Shows good hockey sense and vision, not much panic in his game | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Morgan Frost | Summary | Good agility, good speed. Showed above-average vision and hands, especially in traffic. Good hands in close, but not a threat at distance. | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Nick Suzuki | Note | Quick hands and good anticipation helps him widen passing lanes and distribute quickly | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Nick Suzuki | Note | Excellent release beats the goaltender short side | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Nick Suzuki | Note | Uses his body to create space, willing to take and give hits. Looks and plays bigger than his listing at 5'11, 185. Want to see his combine measurements | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Nick Suzuki | Note | I like that he's wearing an "A" in his draft year. | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Nick Suzuki | Note | Always with great awareness and anticipation, then flashes quick hands to generate something from his keen positioning. | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Nick Suzuki | Note | Like his compete level, diving to break up passes in his own end to protect a one-goal lead late in the game | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Nick Suzuki | Summary | Solid all-around player with a lot of tools, but his awareness and hockey iq seemed to set him apart in this game. Solid skating base, with quickness, speed and agility. | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Otto Makinen | Note | Average speed, okay positioning, but lacks a strong first step | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |
Otto Makinen | Summary | Nothing stood out in this game, either good or bad. At this point, he appears to be an average OHL player with some potential upside if he can refine various aspects of his game. | Brian Fogarty | Owen Sound vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 4/14/2017 | Not Available | 10136 |

Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Accurate with his one-timer, sets up on the right half-wall with his lefty shot | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Leads a 2-on-1, and when his shot goes just wide and the opponents recover the puck, he is the first person back in the defensive zone. In a game with a lot of top 2017 prospects, Svechnikov is the most dangerous and best player on the ice, period. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Would be the top pick in 2017 if he was a year older | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Gets a breakaway in OT, with the speedy Farrance right on his heels. Doesn't score, but outskating Farrance with the puck is a testament to Svechnikov's abilities | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |
Brady Tkachuk | Note | Buzzing early and creating havoc | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |

Brady Tkachuk | Note | Might be faster straight line than his brother, might be nastier than his brother, but I'm not sure he's as talented as his brother. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |
Casey Gilling | Note | Blazes to a loose puck, gets a clean breakaway and puts away a shorthanded goal | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |

Grant Mismash | Note | Light on his feet, agile and quick in small spaces | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |
Grant Mismash | Note | First shooter for the USNTDP in the shootout, snaps a quick wrist shot past Petruzelli | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |
Joshua Norris | Note | Had a puck rebound to him alone near the slot, but instead of taking a shot immediately with his backhand, he tried to curl his body around the puck to get a forehand shot instead. Lost time, snap and the opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |
Joshua Norris | Note | Finds another loose puck in the offensive zone, this time already on his forehand, and fires a shot, saved. Has a knack for positioning in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |
Joshua Norris | Note | Soft hands in traffic | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |

Tyler Inamoto | Note | Sublime opportunity in front of the net that Pettruzelli saved. Great work from Inamoto to get that low and time the attack. Nice shot. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | 4/1/2017 | Not Available | 10135 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Playing center on the second line | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |

Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Highly confident skater, his feet just do whatever he needs them to do. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |

Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | I like his puck protection instincts, and his ability to make a play under pressure. He's not afraid to take a hit to make something happen | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Good 50/50 effort to win a puck | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Note | Kid can fly when necessary | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Benoit-Olivier Groulx | Summary | Size, skating and quality hands. Still looks raw and inconsistent at times. Takes a hit to make a play, and willing to engage in puck battles. His skating at 6'3 is a big plus attribute, as he looks fluid in all four directions with excellent speed. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Leon Gawanke | Note | Carries the puck up ice with some skill, but fires the puck into the corner and Halifax gains possession. Hate that play on the powerplay, but could be the coach's preference. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Leon Gawanke | Note | Good movement on the powerplay, and when the puck comes, fires a wrister wide | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Leon Gawanke | Note | Joins the puck carrier on a two-man rush, takes up a spot low in the right corner, patiently takes a pass and finds his open man. Nice offensive zone sequence | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Leon Gawanke | Note | Ill-chosen pass trying to hit a forward in transition, an easy intercept for the Halifax player | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Leon Gawanke | Note | Good first couple of steps gets him quickly to loose pucks | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |

Leon Gawanke | Summary | An offensive defenseman who didn't look lost in his own end. Skates well with the puck, shows good patience and stick skills. However, at times his decisions were not crisp, and he forced the play at times. A project with decent offensive, powerplay upside if he can refine his game. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Mathias Laferriere | Note | Nice speed on the right side, tries to turn the defenseman, then slots a nice pass to the crease. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Mathias Laferriere | Note | Good skater, want more from his first steps, though | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Mathias Laferriere | Summary | Good skater, not great. Needs better acceleration. Shows good potential, but didn't play much of a role in this game and was the first time I'd watched him closely. He's on the radar for next year, though. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Maxime Fortier | Note | Gets really low when he has the puck, making him shifty and hard to wrap up down low. Combined with his quickness and agility, he's tough to handle below the circles | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Maxime Fortier | Note | Handles the puck really well in heavy traffic, constantly trying to make something happen. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Maxime Fortier | Note | All effort and effective energy in his own zone | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Maxime Fortier | Summary | Smart play with and without the puck, plays a high-work-rate, puck possession game with a nose for the net. Fights through traffic despite his smaller size, and uses his agility and balance to escape or absorb impacts. Lacks high-end creativity, but a quality player with good NHL potential | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Stickhandles through traffic like he's playing against U14s | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Leads a rush two-on-two with Fortier, but when Fortier gets interfered with (knocked to the ice by a good but totally illegal hit), Hischier hard stops, turns back and allows the play to reset. Very smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Took a slash on the hands and did not like it, waited half a shift then picked his spot and threw a hard, clean hit on the neutral-zone boards. Hischier is playing with some snarl. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Nico Hischier | Note | A beauty of a pass into the slot on the powerplay, but Coughler didn't find the puck (all he needed was to have had his stick on the ice and the puck would have found him). | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Doubled up on almost every time he touches the puck in the offensive zone, yet he still makes plays with ease | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Fantastic array of shots in his arsenal | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |

Nico Hischier | Note | Super-active stick in the defensive zone, like all of the rest of the well-coached Halifax team | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Nico Hischier | Note | I'll just say it--Hischier looks NHL ready | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Junior hockey looks way too slow for him | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Rockets a shot from 70 feet that a spectacular glove save keeps out the net with a minute and a half left | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Second time in the game that a brilliant Hischier pass goes squandered because Coughler wasn't prepared to do something with it. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Nico Hischier | Summary | Hard to determine what aspect of his game is most dominant, his ultimate confidence in his abilities, or the abilities themselves. Hischier bends the game to his will, and I don't recall an ineffective shift in this game. His shot selection, timing, passing, vision, skating, willingness to engage in physical play, leadership on and off the ice, work effort. It's all there in every shift he plays. A strong argument can be made that he is the best player in this draft class. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |

Olivier Bourret | Note | Strong skater, good mechanics, gets low with full, powerful extensions | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Olivier Bourret | Summary | Young winger with promise. Solid on his skates with above average speed and balance, and offensive potential. A 2018 draft prospect who needs to continue to work hard to develop his skills | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Playing wing on Groulx's line. Not making much of an impact, but always engaged in the play and around the puck. A good sign for better things to come. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | His return foot never gets back in front of his body. Needs some work to tighten that up. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Straightline speed with the puck is admirable, keeps the puck well out in front and gets good, long strides. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Raphael Lavoie | Note | Nice board pass to spring a forward into the neutral zone | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Raphael Lavoie | Summary | As a 9/25/2000 birthdate, Lavoie is a 2019 draft prospect with good size at 6'3 177. Has only seen regular Halifax minutes over the last couple of months, but has 6 points in his last 14 games. Showed good speed, a solid hockey sense and ice awareness, but looks raw. At a draft-minus-2 player, however, he has a lot of time to improve and could be a top prospect going into his draft year. | Brian Fogarty | Cape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 3/17/2017 | Not Available | 10134 |
Bowen Byram | Note | Disciplined on his penalty kill duties and positioning. Also, the 15-year-old has top pk unit duties | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/4/2017 | Not Available | 10133 |
Bowen Byram | Note | Makes his first really bad read in the these last two games: came out of his position on the right side of the crease and allows Blichfeld a hole for an easy step-up goal. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/4/2017 | Not Available | 10133 |
Caleb Jones | Note | Consistently accurate passes on the outlet or powerplay. Makes his passes easy to receive | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/4/2017 | Not Available | 10133 |

Cody Glass | Note | Speed with the puck backs defenders off as his enters the zone | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/4/2017 | Not Available | 10133 |

Cody Glass | Note | Gets good acceleration when he is already in stride. A complete skater. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/4/2017 | Not Available | 10133 |

Ryan Hughes | Note | Great backchecking effort takes away a passing lane and creates transition the other way | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/4/2017 | Not Available | 10133 |
Ryan Hughes | Note | Backhand goal that showed tremendous hand skills as he was cutting across the top of the crease, nabbed a rebound and went backhand behind his back to slot the puck far side bottom corner. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/4/2017 | Not Available | 10133 |
Tyler Popowich | Note | Slushy first step, needs to get a better initial dig and drive power | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/4/2017 | Not Available | 10133 |
Tyler Popowich | Note | That first step weakness allows the quick McKenzie to get around him, and Popowich gets called for a penalty trying to keep McKenzie from a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/4/2017 | Not Available | 10133 |
Tyler Popowich | Note | Good speed when he gets going, just needs a better burst | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/4/2017 | Not Available | 10133 |
Bowen Byram | Note | Plants a shoulder into the puck carrier, knocks him off the puck, and when another opposing forward grabs the loose puck and tries to go by him, Byram plants a shoulder into him, too, and knocks him off the puck as well. Serious physical play from the 15-year-old blueliner | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/3/2017 | Not Available | 10132 |
Bowen Byram | Note | Good balance, but needs to clean up his backward skating a bit. Fortunately, he has plenty of time to work on that before his draft year. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/3/2017 | Not Available | 10132 |
Bowen Byram | Note | Nice positioning against Glass one-on-one on the right-wing boards | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/3/2017 | Not Available | 10132 |

Cody Glass | Note | Glass scoops the puck off the corner boards and wheels out to the half boards, head up, one hand on the stick and the other directing traffic, then lays a great cross-ice pass to a teammate. What a heady play that was. Impressive | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/3/2017 | Not Available | 10132 |
Cody Glass | Note | Sick behind-the-back pass hits McKenzie perfectly for a short-side attempt. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/3/2017 | Not Available | 10132 |

Cody Glass | Note | Not shy, but he doesn't initiate a lot of contact. He'll take a hit, but seems to prefer stick over shoulder. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/3/2017 | Not Available | 10132 |
Cody Glass | Note | On the penalty kill, wins a faceoff in his own zone, and when a teammate clears the puck, Glass chases down the opponent retrieving the puck, takes the puck away from him, waits and tries to find McKenzie coming into the zone but the puck is tipped away, A stellar play from Glass! | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/3/2017 | Not Available | 10132 |

Ty Ronning | Note | Likes to work the slot, but he's getting outmuscled a lot, and as a result, even as Malm keeps finding him, Ronning keeps getting knocked off the puck | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/3/2017 | Not Available | 10132 |
Ty Ronning | Note | Gets a nice headman pass and holds of De Jong on a partial breakaway, roofs one backhand with De Jong trying to pull him down. This is the kind of play that Ronning can make. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/3/2017 | Not Available | 10132 |
Ty Ronning | Note | Plays the top of the umbrella on this powerplay shift, but he's not nearly as effective there. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/3/2017 | Not Available | 10132 |
Ty Ronning | Note | This time, Ronning is in the crease on the powerplay. He's better there, despite his small stature | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/3/2017 | Not Available | 10132 |
Ty Ronning | Note | Hasn't been overly effective in this game, but his presence in the crease and his work rate finds him at the right place late in the game, and he gets an assist on the tying goal for his efforts. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | 3/3/2017 | Not Available | 10132 |
Cal Foote | Note | Locks up his man well in front of the net, ties up his stick, keeps good position | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |

Cal Foote | Summary | Skates and pivots well at his size, and gets to the right spot in his own end. Strong on his feet. Engages in the offense but does not dazzle in any respect of the game. Good tools, though. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Ethan McIndoe | Note | Nice open-ice hit on the puck carrier breaks up a transition attempt | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Ethan McIndoe | Note | Consistently plants himself at the high slot area, but his line mates are not getting him the puck | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Ethan McIndoe | Note | Determined with the puck and I like his skating at his size | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Ethan McIndoe | Note | Unhappy with his effort in his own end late, down by three goals. I want him working at his hardest level right now, and he's not. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Jaret Anderson-Dolan | Note | Working hard on defense, even down 7-0 | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Jaret Anderson-Dolan | Note | Forehand, backhand, dangerous shot. He's trying to make something happen. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Jaret Anderson-Dolan | Note | Love the way the puck comes off his stick, both on shots and passes. Zero hesitation with the puck, no matter what situation he's in. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Jaret Anderson-Dolan | Summary | Lopsided game that saw his team down by a touchdown early, yet JAD worked just as hard on every shift throughout. He drives play in all three zones, and brings speed, acceleration and constant attack all over the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Kole Lind | Note | Tries to dangle at the blue line and the puck is easily poked away by the defenseman | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Kole Lind | Note | Has a third gear when he really wants to get up ice, buts it has been 14 minutes into the game before he shows it off | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Kole Lind | Note | Does well to support the puck in all three zones | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Kole Lind | Note | Hands are not a quick as his mind wants them to be. He sees the play, but his stickhandling doesn't allow him to make it consistently | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Kole Lind | Summary | Good size, mobile, alert, works hard, but there is a lack of creativity and jump that concerned me in this game. Plays hard, but he looks more like a collection of good parts than a complete package. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Nolan Foote | Note | Strong stride covers a lot of distance | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Nolan Foote | Summary | Plays strong and at a good tempo, often looking imposing in the game despite being two years away from his draft year. Looks to be an impact player with his size and abilities. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Riley Woods | Note | Gets a big lean on his edges, with balance and quickness | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |

Ty Smith | Note | Wires a wrist shot far corner from range that the goalie could only wave at. A sniper's goal from the young defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Spokane (WHL) | 2/26/2017 | Not Available | 10131 |
Hudson Elynuik | Note | I like his game: size, hands, smart at both ends, plays with an assumed authority. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Hudson Elynuik | Summary | Big, hard-working forward with good skills and instincts who is the kind of player coaches always want available to make a play. The offense is there, but he's not a big scorer. His contributions to his NHL team will come in the form of getting and keeping puck possession and tilting the ice in his team's favor. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Jaret Anderson-Dolan | Note | Wicked backhand pass off the boards to the crease, with zip and accuracy | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |

Jaret Anderson-Dolan | Note | Always first to the puck | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Jaret Anderson-Dolan | Summary | JAD was the best player on the ice, always controlling the tempo and flow of the play when he was in the ice. High-end vision and passing, a snappy release and highly accurate shot. He is a player to really watch over the next two months. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Juuso Valimaki | Note | Willing to make a hit, but not really physical at all. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Juuso Valimaki | Note | Turned his back on the puck in the crease and only a great save kept the puck out of his net | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Juuso Valimaki | Note | Leads a rush, places on nice pass behind the defender into space where it finds Geekie in stride. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Juuso Valimaki | Note | Long, powerful strides get him back after joining a rush, then a nice stick lift and takeaway. His best defensive play of the night. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Juuso Valimaki | Note | Nice 50/50 battle, leans into his opponent then uses his reach to reach out and poke the loose puck to a teammate | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Juuso Valimaki | Summary | Valimaki is a different player going forward than he is in his own end. When he has the puck, he has an above average first pass and starts breakouts with ease, but looks even more comfortable skating the puck up ice. On defense, his gaps and positioning are off, and looks really uncomfortable trying to read the play. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Juuso Valimaki | Summary | Valimaki is a project in his own zone, but with his size, skating and offensive awareness, he can become a good two-way defender in the NHL if he can clean up in the back end. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Kailer Yamamoto | Note | Nobody can put a body on him when he has the puck, so he makes time and space for himself | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Kailer Yamamoto | Note | Superb first-step quickness and effortless skating. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Kailer Yamamoto | Note | Ducks under a check from Valimaki along the boards and finds an activating defender with a cross-crease pass. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Kailer Yamamoto | Summary | Has all the tools but the size. If he has the puck and a step or two, he can make bad things happen for the other team, but as he moves along in his career, and the opponents get bigger, faster, smarter and more experienced, he could find a wall too high to climb before he hits the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Keegan Kolesar | Summary | High energy player with speed and quickness and a nasty edge. Goes hard all the time, and usually leaves some bruises in his wake. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Mathew Barzal | Summary | Fast, agile, always has his head up. He was far and away the most talented player on the ice, but he seemed uninspired and disinterested in the game. Disappointed in him this viewing. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Morgan Geekie | Note | Mobile and active, uses his body well to shield the puck and uses his feet to shake defenders | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Morgan Geekie | Note | Smart and well-positioned in his own end, knows when to cover for a D in the corner, and when to release without leaving a hole in the D coverage. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |

Morgan Geekie | Summary | Despite the weak straightline skating, Geekie has the tools to be an NHL player. Smart, good puck skills, plays a refined kind of game in all three zones | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Morgan Geekie | Summary | Happy to see him two days in a row, because although the holes in his skating are still there, the back-to-back games give a real impression of his game vision and intelligence. Savvy player who anticipates the game at a high level. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Ty Smith | Note | Plays the left point on the top powerplay unit at just 16 | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |

Ty Smith | Note | Active stick and active feet | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |

Ty Smith | Note | Good hands to keep the puck in the offensive zone at the line | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Ty Smith | Summary | So young to be playing at the level that he is now. Quick with his hands, feet and decisions, and makes good plays look happenstance. There's a lot to like in Smith going forward, and his draft year will be fun to watch. | Brian Fogarty | Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) | 2/25/2017 | Not Available | 10130 |
Alexander True | Note | Quick hands on the faceoff. He looks good at the little aspects of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs. Tri-City (WHL) | 2/24/2017 | Not Available | 10129 |

Keegan Kolesar | Note | Finds Barzal with a nice head-up play. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs. Tri-City (WHL) | 2/24/2017 | Not Available | 10129 |
Keegan Kolesar | Note | Again, goes hard to the net without the puck, and this time he plants it. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs. Tri-City (WHL) | 2/24/2017 | Not Available | 10129 |
Mathew Barzal | Note | Cuts through the offensive zone with complete ease. Great on his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs. Tri-City (WHL) | 2/24/2017 | Not Available | 10129 |

Morgan Geekie | Note | Skating looks awkward and lacks power. Slow feet and no push. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs. Tri-City (WHL) | 2/24/2017 | Not Available | 10129 |
Morgan Geekie | Note | Watching his feet closely. His edgework is decent, but average agility and his straightforward skating needs a lot of work. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs. Tri-City (WHL) | 2/24/2017 | Not Available | 10129 |
Morgan Geekie | Note | Up 6-2, gets an unsportsmanlike penalty for arguing an offsides call that cancelled out a breakaway. A 10-minute misconduct that shows his compete and his impulse control. | Brian Fogarty | Seattle vs. Tri-City (WHL) | 2/24/2017 | Not Available | 10129 |
Clayton Keller | Note | Flies through the neutral zone and deep into the offensive zone with the puck 4-on-4. Lightning. | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |

Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson | Note | Needs to be more careful with his passing. Two or three times he has just tossed the puck to an opposing player. | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |
Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson | Summary | Although he needs to tighten up his play at times, his skating and strength on his feet are solid. Goes to the net, chases down opponents on the forecheck, makes good decisions in his own end. Needs to protect the puck better. | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |
Joe Sacco | Note | Playing bottom line minutes and hasn't seen much ice. Then suddenly a bounce finds him in front of the net and he pushes the puck wide left | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |
Kieffer Bellows | Note | Looks like he is thinking too much which is slowing his hands a bit in front of the net | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |
Kieffer Bellows | Note | Hard, hard wrist shot that forced a big shoulder save from the UNH goalie to keep the puck out of the net | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |
Kieffer Bellows | Note | Too slow on a backcheck allows a 2-on-1 goal. Bellows should have been there to break that up but wasn't moving his feet | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |
Kieffer Bellows | Note | Bends his back more than he knees. He needs to do a lot of power skating training. Choppy strides, not much extension | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |
Kieffer Bellows | Note | Bellows is a dump-and-chase coach's dream player. Not a big possession game, but he'll flick a puck into the corner and go hard after it | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |
Kieffer Bellows | Note | A diving, wraparound attempt after collecting his own rebound is the epitome of Bellows' game--not fancy or exciting, but full effort and desire, and the puck goes in off a defender's skate. | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |
Kieffer Bellows | Summary | Plays a simple game and does it well. Needs work on his skating, but the compete level and work rate are pro level | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |

Tyler Kelleher | Note | Kelleher's release is giving Oettinger fits. He disguises his point so well and gets a lot of power on the wrister. | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |
Tyler Kelleher | Summary | Plays to small at times, but his shot is way above average. In order to overcome his size disadvantages, he needs to get smarter on the ice when in transition | Brian Fogarty | Boston U vs. New Hampshire (NCAA) | 2/18/2017 | Not Available | 10128 |
Caleb Jones | Note | Takes a risk trying to bat down a pass with his hand and attack, but fails to collect the puck, turns and chases back to the right spot and intercepts a pass in the D zone | Brian Fogarty | USA vs. Latvia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10127 |

Denis Guryanov | Note | Short strides, which he'll need to improve to go move up to the top levels of hockey | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Denis Guryanov | Summary | Physical, two-way player with quickness and hands, but a tendency to step over the line at times.

Not the biggest player on the ice, but he plays a strong game, with elusive quickness, and vision and hands to capitalize on plays with only the briefest of openings | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Note | Big, strong, balanced and willing to work everywhere on the ice to win. Extremely difficult to play against | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Note | Tosses smaller players aside with ease, and most every other player on the ice is smaller | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Summary | Incredibly strong on his skates and positionally sound, a combination that makes forwards hesitant to go near him on the ice. He is a granite 6'3 and 216 pounds and he is still only 18, with balance and leg strength that allows him to absorb big hits from big players and send the them to the ice. He also has excellent up-ice vision and shot. Sergachev will be in the NHL by the time he is 20. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Philippe Myers | Note | Poor decision in his own zone leads to a clean 1-on-1 shot from the slot | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Philippe Myers | Note | Myers has size, can skate, good offensive skills, but he has made several questionable decisions in this game | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Philippe Myers | Summary | Myers is a big defender at 6'5, 207 pounds, and his skating is above average or better. There are aspects of his game at this point that make me less optimistic than many commentators after his play thus far in the WJCs and at Philadelphia's camp in the fall. His decisions were questionable in several instances in this game, and he was often out of position on the ice. This player could be sizzling now, but is it long-term heat? I'm not sure at this point. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | High-vision pass through traffic in transition springs a winger up the left side | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Another excellent pass, this time from below the goal line, brief-look backhand to the tape | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Solid backchecking effort to chase down a forward and lift his stick to eliminate a scoring opportunity | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Looks a step slower that the last time I watched him play in his draft year. Then two seconds later he splits two defenders with a quick burst to get to a loose puck and makes a sweet backhand pass to the slot | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Sets up in front of the net on the powerplay, works well to keep his spot, then goes for a loose puck behind the net, fights a 50/50 battle, the finds Barzal for a chip shot past the goalie. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Summary | Unless one was watching closely, it would be easy to say that Dubois was off his game, and he likely was a bit. But the skill and effort were there in bright moments. Big, intelligent player with high-end vision and skills and a willingness to use his body to make a play. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Keeps his knees bent with a solid base, even while waiting for the play to develop in front of him | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Flies down the left wing without the puck, gets a drop-pass from Jost, and then Chabot shows high-end edgework at speed and creates a wraparound chance that many forwards would be proud of | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Continually impressive, making good reads and activating at the right times | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Goes back to get a puck from the corner, gets crosschecked to his knees, digs for the puck, gets crosschecked to his stomach, still gets the puck out to a teammate | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Sensational defensive shift in which he had to move out high to cover for a low forward, then recognized the flow out of the corner, stepped down to take the releasing opponent as a 2-on-1 began to develop, and cut past the puck carrier to take the play away from both attackers and completely disrupt the play | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Thomas Chabot | Summary | Impressive in all aspects of the game. He has the size at 6'2, 190 pounds, is exemplary on his feet in all four directions, smart at both ends, reads the play in front of him and does not overcommit on the play. On top of the that, he has really good hands, as well. A top-pair NHL defender in the making | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Gets a great pass from Myers, forehand, backhand, roofed bar down | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Jost has quickness skating backward with fluid c-cuts and balance, and then a terrific burst change of direction propels him forward to snag a takeaway and an unexpected wraparound chance | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Tyson Jost | Note | So smart with his stick, both offensively and defensively | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Impossible to contain when he has the puck, his ability to maintain possession and lose defenders to create quality scoring chances is fun to watch | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Jost plays with such tenacity on the forecheck and is simply terrorizing the opponent defenders | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Has never seen a rush opportunity he didn't like, and he makes all of them effective and dangerous | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Jost could be playing in the NHL now. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Tyson Jost | Summary | Jost is so dynamic on the ice, a nonstop attacker whether he has the puck or not. Tremendous skater with a top-end three-step burst, extremely agile and smart. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Yegor Rykov | Note | Crossovers are smooth, turns quickly to keep position as the forward tries to go around him | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Yegor Rykov | Note | Keeps his stick out in front and moves his feet to maintain position and gap | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Yegor Rykov | Note | Not a burner and can use some improvement on his returns to make his stride more efficient, but decent speed and acceleration | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Yegor Rykov | Note | Looking down at the puck while handling | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Yegor Rykov | Note | Good stick to break up a pass, and quick clear to get the puck out of the defensive zone on the penalty kill | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Yegor Rykov | Note | Good play to hold the point on the powerplay, then later on the same shift takes a big hit to again keep the puck in the zone | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Yegor Rykov | Note | Starfish Defensive Posture ™ | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Yegor Rykov | Summary | Smart in his own zone, with enough mobility to allow him to keep position on even speedy players, but he's not a fast guy. His straightline speed looks coachable, though. A first-pass breakout defender more than a transition player who is effective on the point for a powerplay. Kills penalties, manages the game in the defensive zone. A reliable middle-pair type. | Brian Fogarty | Canada vs. Russia (WJC 2017) | 12/26/2016 | 12/26/2016 | 10126 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Svechnikov has wheels. Quick feet, excellent edge work | Zachary DeVine | USA vs Russia (WJAC 2016) | 12/15/2016 | 12/15/2016 | 10125 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Svechnikov hounding the puck carrier but draws a slashing penalty. Like the effort on the play. Very tough on the puck in the first period. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs Russia (WJAC 2016) | 12/15/2016 | 12/15/2016 | 10125 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Svechnikov takes a centering pass and off the rush gets it up on the USA goalie. Quick shot that got up with little space. Scored both goals for Russia in the loss. Heck of showing for the 2000-born winger. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs Russia (WJAC 2016) | 12/15/2016 | 12/15/2016 | 10125 |
Klim Kostin | Note | Kostin with a good centering pass with two USA defenders draped on him in the corner. Follows that play up with another good pass to the defender. Good vision on the plays. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs Russia (WJAC 2016) | 12/15/2016 | 12/15/2016 | 10125 |
Klim Kostin | Note | Kostin with two good stick checks to get the puck back in the offensive zone. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs Russia (WJAC 2016) | 12/15/2016 | 12/15/2016 | 10125 |
Klim Kostin | Note | Kostin seeing some time on the PK for the Russian side. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs Russia (WJAC 2016) | 12/15/2016 | 12/15/2016 | 10125 |
Klim Kostin | Note | Kostin on a few plays I’ve noted has done more fly-by skating using his stick than to physically contend for the puck. He’s a physical specimen at this level, would like to see more engagement. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs Russia (WJAC 2016) | 12/15/2016 | 12/15/2016 | 10125 |
Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Dirty area goal for Svechnikov as he gets an initial shot on goal, circles back to drive the net and gets a stick on it. Nose for the net on that play. | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs Switzerland (WJAC 2016) | 12/13/2016 | 12/13/2016 | 10124 |
Klim Kostin | Note | Halfway through the first and Kostin is coasting on a lot of plays. Gave up the puck easily in the defensive zone on one play by just lobbing it up the boards to no one in particular and the Swiss defense easily gets the puck back. | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs Switzerland (WJAC 2016) | 12/13/2016 | 12/13/2016 | 10124 |
Klim Kostin | Note | Inspired shift by Kostin around the 9-minute mark. Using his size to shield the puck on two plays, including a chance on net. | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs Switzerland (WJAC 2016) | 12/13/2016 | 12/13/2016 | 10124 |
Klim Kostin | Note | Kostin with quick edges to gather the puck, circle and get the cross-ice feed through. | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs Switzerland (WJAC 2016) | 12/13/2016 | 12/13/2016 | 10124 |
Klim Kostin | Note | Kostin one-times the rebound for the score. Read the play well, stayed in a soft area of the crease where he could get the shot off. | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs Switzerland (WJAC 2016) | 12/13/2016 | 12/13/2016 | 10124 |
JD Greenway | Note | Awkward giveaway in own zone. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
JD Greenway | Note | Solid passer, makes good reads and is poised with the puck | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
JD Greenway | Note | His reach takes away so much space in the middle of the defensive zone, and he has the smarts to be in the right place | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
JD Greenway | Note | Big long strides generate decent speed, went hard to get back to stop a 2-on-1, but overskated his defensive responsibility and left Piazza open in front of the net for a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
JD Greenway | Note | Great play one-on-one to deny a scoring chance and then poke the puck clear to a teammate. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
JD Greenway | Note | Gave the puck away behind his own net, a sloppy play up 6-3. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
JD Greenway | Summary | A bit raw, Greenway needs to continue to work on his game, but he has all the tools to be a good NHL defenseman. Big, long arms and legs, smart reads in all three zones, but can be a bit sloppy at times. Future middle-pair NHL blueliner, though. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Kunin | Note | A little slow in his hips flipping to backwards skating. Takes a small hop to add speed to the pivot, but that won't work at the higher levels of hockey. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Kunin | Note | Quiet most of the game, but then he's alone in the high slot on a 3-on-2 and there is no doubt. Sniper. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Kunin | Note | Pro shot with a tricky release, he is good at disguising the release point and leaves the goaltender frozen. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Kunin | Note | Lots of movement while on the powerplay, but more floating than determined. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Kunin | Note | Great backcheck effort to disrupt a Lockwood shorthanded breakaway. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Kunin | Summary | Two goals in the game, both from his deadly mid-distance wrist shot. Seems to lack a high compete level, which bothers me. I want to see him go harder on every shift instead of waiting for the play to come to him. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Martin | Note | Big one-time slapshot from the point, low to the ice and right on target. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Martin | Note | Pretty one-timer snap shot for a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Martin | Note | Active stick, but follows the puck and loses his man who then gets to the net for a goal. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Martin | Note | Paying too much attention to the puck and not enough to his man. Allows a bad bounce to be put into the back of his net. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Martin | Note | Really active stick on D | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Martin | Note | Strong, full extensions on his push helps him generate quality speed | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Luke Martin | Summary | Martin looks like a player that could develop nicely into a two-way defenseman at the NHL level. He plays smart offense, but many times was caught puck chasing in his own end. Needs a couple of years to develop more of the finer aspects of his game and remove some bad habits. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Michael Pastujov | Note | Poor pass to try to clear his own zone, just a poorly executed bad idea. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Michael Pastujov | Note | Two smart passes on a shift, the first begins a breakout, the second deep in the offensive zone puts the puck on a teammate's stick in the high-danger area | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Michael Pastujov | Note | He'll get physical, but not a lot of hockey IQ on display in this game outside of the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Michael Pastujov | Note | Heavy feet | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Michael Pastujov | Summary | I've seen Pastujov play better than he did in this game. He made some good plays with his hands, but his legs looked tired and he did not seem fully integrated into the game. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Seamus Malone | Note | Dives to break up a zone entry pass with four minutes left and a two-goal lead. What effort! | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Seamus Malone | Summary | Hands and offensive instincts, but not a lot else on display in the game. Good work rate, though. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Seamus Malone | Note | Horrible blind pass along his offensive blue line straight to a Michigan player. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Seamus Malone | Note | Lacks pace in his game, and although he's in constant motion, he seems aimless at times and tends to meander without efficiency in his movement | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Seamus Malone | Note | Nice hands to dangle and find an open man in front of the net. Nice play. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Seamus Malone | Note | Beautiful one-touch pass leads to a wrap-around goal. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Seamus Malone | Note | Gets boarded with a nasty hit, gets up immediately and chirps the opposing bench on his way to his own. Tough kid. That was a game misconduct and a five-minute major worthy of the call. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Seamus Malone | Note | Poor cross-ice pass lacked zip and accuracy. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Seamus Malone | Note | Spin-o-rama pass right on Bessie's tape, who promptly misses the net. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Will Lockwood | Note | Really light on his feet, showing easy, fluid motion and a quick burst. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Will Lockwood | Note | Good solid check in the boards, packed a wallop with little build up. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Will Lockwood | Note | Lead man on the 5-on-3, controlling the powerplay, head up, crisp passing. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Will Lockwood | Note | Another hard hit, takes the puck carrier out of the play and generates a turnover in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Will Lockwood | Note | Lockwood is the best player on the ice so far in the first period. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Will Lockwood | Note | Another big hit, but this one gets called for boarding, but it was a marginal call at best. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Will Lockwood | Note | I could watch Lockwood play hockey all day. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Will Lockwood | Note | Fights through checks and drives his feet. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Will Lockwood | Note | Yet another offensive zone hit. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Will Lockwood | Summary | Michigan is not the best team, but Lockwood was the best player on the ice. Constant, aggressive play in all three zones, effective with and without the puck. Excellent footwork, diligent in getting the puck away from the opposition and to his teammates. Dangerous on the powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Michigan vs. Wisconsin (NCAA) | 12/9/2016 | 12/10/2016 | 10123 |
Martin Necas | Summary | Necas is a smaller, shifty player that is listed at under 150 pounds on EliteProspects.com but looks thicker than that, but not by much. His play against men in the top Czech league has been good in two viewings and shows a good nose for the puck. He isn’t afraid of attempting to put a hit on the opposition, but it usually isn’t that effective due to his lack of size. His skating is slightly above average but has good fluid transitions. More power could be used in his stride. His hands and vision both look very good and despite not seeing top six minutes, has generated at least two good looks for himself and his teammates in both games. Necas has physical limitations at this time, but smart play helps minimize their effects. He has been named to the preliminary WJC roster for the Czech Republic and it will be very interesting to see how he does against players of similar size and development. | Zachary DeVine | Kometa Brno vs Mountfield (CZE) | 12/9/2016 | 12/9/2016 | 10122 |
Alex Schoenborn | Note | Schoenborn gets body position and gets a chance on GIllies. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton at San Jose (AHL) | 12/8/2016 | 12/8/2016 | 10121 |
Joakim Ryan | Note | Good quick stick by Ryan to thwart the self pass. If he misses that, he was caught. Desperation play, but smart and it worked | Zachary DeVine | Stockton at San Jose (AHL) | 12/8/2016 | 12/8/2016 | 10121 |
Marcus Sorensen | Note | Sorensen battles in front of the net but seems to forget stick positioning. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton at San Jose (AHL) | 12/8/2016 | 12/8/2016 | 10121 |

Timothy Liljegren | Note | Liljegren out on the power play with Rogle down a goal halfway through the third. Most of the plays running through him and he’s out for more than half of the man advantage. | Zachary DeVine | Vaxjo vs Rogle (SHL) | 12/1/2016 | 12/1/2016 | 10118 |

Elias Pettersson | Note | Pettersson with a nice carry around the net, shielded the puck well. | Zachary DeVine | Vita Hasten vs Timra (Allsvensken) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10115 |
Elias Pettersson | Note | Pettersson stickhandles in a phone booth, dishes to Boqvist. Slick hands. | Zachary DeVine | Vita Hasten vs Timra (Allsvensken) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10115 |
Elias Pettersson | Note | Pettersson came flying out of his zone during the OT, ill-advised slap shot goes wide but really got up to speed. | Zachary DeVine | Vita Hasten vs Timra (Allsvensken) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10115 |
Elias Pettersson | Note | Want more urgency in Pettersson’s game. Some decisions, like to get his stick instead of the man in the slot during OT, just doesn’t illustrate competitiveness to me. | Zachary DeVine | Vita Hasten vs Timra (Allsvensken) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10115 |
Jens Looke | Note | Looke constantly around the perimeter, three shifts in a row I’ve noticed he stays well away from the home plate area in front of the net. | Zachary DeVine | Vita Hasten vs Timra (Allsvensken) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10115 |

Jonathan Dahlen | Note | Dahlen so good along the boards and doing a fine job in front of the net as well. As he fills out, the additional muscle will help even more. | Zachary DeVine | Vita Hasten vs Timra (Allsvensken) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10115 |
Jonathan Dahlen | Note | Dalhen with a perfect pass 2 on 1, no idea how it doesn’t go in. No points, but lots of very dangerous chances | Zachary DeVine | Vita Hasten vs Timra (Allsvensken) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10115 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Vesalainen getting to the net, but not working hard to get a good look. Twice this game he has skated himself into coverage. | Zachary DeVine | HIFK vs HPK (Liiga) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10114 |
Miro Heiskanen | Note | Heiskanen shaken off behind the net and HIFK gets the goal. Was on his man but lost position on the quick reverse. | Zachary DeVine | HIFK vs HPK (Liiga) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10114 |

Emile Poirier | Note | Poirier with two goals now, the second was a perfect tip. Playing well, getting back on defense, feet are really moving for the speedy winger. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10113 |
Jon Gillies | Note | Gillies suburb stopping 28 of 30 shots. Gave up a bit of a weak backhander in the last seconds but had a number of big saves and excellent reads. Never out of position and uses the big pillows well down low. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10113 |
Lucas Wallmark | Note | Lucas Wallmark is a hard summer with a skating coach away from being a player with the Canes. Very smart, good reads. Feet keeping him back | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10113 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Note | Klimchuk doesn’t look like the same player that struggled at times in the AHL last year. Much more jump, confidence. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10113 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Note | Klimchuk shorthanded steals the puck, stick handles to the middle of the ice and gets a quick shot off. Impressive game. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10113 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington’s puck-carrying ability looking even better with an extra dose of confidence. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10113 |
Rasmus Andersson | Note | Rasmus Anderson with a pair of assists. Quiet, heady player that just does everything very well while being a positive impact on team defense. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/30/2016 | 11/30/2016 | 10113 |

Robin Salo | Summary | Robin Salo has okay size and okay skating, but he’s playing his offhand in a men’s league and getting top pair minutes. Good reads in all three zones and comfortable with the puck on his stick coming out of the zone. First few steps are sluggish and his stride is short. In a 6-2 loss to Ilves, Salo had 6 shots, was 4th on the team in TOI with over 20 minutes and no points and finished the game only a -1 while the Lynx chewed up the lower defenders for four goals in the third period. | Zachary DeVine | Sport vs Ilves (Liiga) | 11/29/2016 | 11/29/2016 | 10112 |
Alexis Gravel | Note | Gravel big, takes a lot of net and gets set quickly. 16 year old with solid technical base. | Zachary DeVine | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/27/2016 | 11/27/2016 | 10111 |
Manuel Wiederer | Note | Wiederer playing with the Klima twins, playing an excellent two-way game covering for the offensive-minded brothers. | Zachary DeVine | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/27/2016 | 11/27/2016 | 10111 |
Manuel Wiederer | Note | Wiederer takes the pass at the red line, turns to center ice with a quick acceleration and draws the penalty. Then goes right back out as part of PP1 for the Wildcats. | Zachary DeVine | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/27/2016 | 11/27/2016 | 10111 |
Maxime Fortier | Note | Fortier not being drafted last year remains a mystery. top 60 pick this year. | Zachary DeVine | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/27/2016 | 11/27/2016 | 10111 |
Maxime Fortier | Note | Fortier shoots from anywhere and any position. changes angles quickly, deceptive release point | Zachary DeVine | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/27/2016 | 11/27/2016 | 10111 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Hischier with a quick goal on the Fortier centering pass. Perfectly positioned to one time the puck and pick the corner. Great shot and on-ice awareness. | Zachary DeVine | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/27/2016 | 11/27/2016 | 10111 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Hischier carries the puck up ice well and handles it at speed, not lugging it up the ice. Always ready and able to make a play. | Zachary DeVine | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/27/2016 | 11/27/2016 | 10111 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Hischier jams in the puck from the left side of net. Knocks the puck down to the ice and quick hands to bat the puck in for his second of the game. | Zachary DeVine | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/27/2016 | 11/27/2016 | 10111 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Hischier with a great defensive play on Klima. Klima tries to throw in the brakes but Nico reads it and completely thwarts the play. | Zachary DeVine | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/27/2016 | 11/27/2016 | 10111 |
Otto Somppi | Note | Somppi’s motor continues to impress. His hands can’t seem to keep up with his on-ice vision, sees the play, gets to where he needs to be, but hands are a bit cold right now. | Zachary DeVine | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/27/2016 | 11/27/2016 | 10111 |
Otto Somppi | Note | Somppi’s a good net presence and not afraid of some extracurricular activities that come with being a net presence. | Zachary DeVine | Moncton vs Halifax (QMJHL) | 11/27/2016 | 11/27/2016 | 10111 |
Timothy Liljegren | Summary | Liljegren is considered the top defender in the 2017 NHL entry draft and it is easy to see why. After a bout of mono to start the 2016-17 season, he has quickly come back for Rogle and been a steady, calm presence for one of the weaker teams in the SHL. Liljegren’s skating ability is excellent and fluid. Transitions and edge work are exemplary. Skating with the puck is impressive, carrying the play up ice with his head up and ready to make a play. He has a good shot overall, but can be prone to firing from deep on the blueline with little chance of effectiveness. Would like to see a bit more patience with shots from the point. However when considering he is a 17-year-old defender who is entering his second professional season with Rogle, and considering his position, Lilegren is one of the very top players and should be off the board quickly. | Zachary DeVine | Rogle vs Brynas (SHL) | 11/26/2016 | 11/26/2016 | 10110 |
Lias Andersson | Summary | Andersson has been a mainstay on HV71’s third line and been a contributor to the teams success. Overall, points aren’t coming as hoped but the youngster has not looked out of place or intimidated by the level of competition in the top Swedish league. Andersson has decent height at 5’11 but is very well built at nearly 200 pounds and uses the size well. He can float a bit defensively, but keeps his feet moving in the offensive zone and while not an explosive skater, it isn’t a knock either. Has the work ethic, defensive awareness and skill to package nicely as a second line center in the NHL if his development stays the course. Currently projects as a player in the top half of the first round. | Zachary DeVine | HV71 vs Luela (SHL) | 11/26/2016 | 11/26/2016 | 10109 |
Kale Clague | Note | Clague makes decisions so quickly with the puck on his stick. Impressive decisions to get the shot through or pass. | Zachary DeVine | Brandon vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/25/2016 | 11/25/2016 | 10108 |
Stelio Mattheos | Note | Mattheos twice in the first period just coasted a bit and waited for the puck when I thought he could have got in the scrum and influenced play. | Zachary DeVine | Brandon vs Saskatoon (WHL) | 11/25/2016 | 11/25/2016 | 10108 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Vesalainen still no points but is not for lack of effort. Playing hard, going to the net, and chippy as well. Feel like the first point will open the flood gates. | Zachary DeVine | JYP vs HPK (Liiga) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10107 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Strong move down the wing at the net by Vesalainen, big defensive effort saves a goal | Zachary DeVine | JYP vs HPK (Liiga) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10107 |
Urho Vaakanainen | Note | Vaakanainen transitions well from forward to backward. Edge work solid | Zachary DeVine | JYP vs HPK (Liiga) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10107 |
Urho Vaakanainen | Note | Would like to see more authority on the passes from Vaakanainen. Plays are good, just want to see more zip on them. | Zachary DeVine | JYP vs HPK (Liiga) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10107 |
Alexis Gravel | Note | Gravel has the puck knuckle off his blocker and in. He’ll want that one back. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Alexis Gravel | Note | Second weak goal by Gravel, doesn’t close the pads and the insane angle goal gets by him. Tied game. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Callum Booth | Note | Booth lunges at the puck to make the save, doesn’t keep his upper body square, opened the corners for the goal. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Callum Booth | Note | Booth totally screened on second goal. Zero chance. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Callum Booth | Note | Traffic in front but Booth was down very early. Have to stop those. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Callum Booth | Note | Booth lunging at pucks to make saves too often. leaves him out of position. I think I’ve noted this before as well. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Callum Booth | Note | Booth doesn’t fall for Fortier’s SO deke. Stayed with it and got the left pad on it. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Derek Gentile | Note | Whiffs on a puck in the offensive zone, tries to recover and gives the puck away. Not a good sequence of choices. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Derek Gentile | Note | Made a play I didn't like at all by turning up ice away from his teammate trying to exit the zone, leaving no opportunity for a clean exit pass, and led to a turnover. Would have been smarter to support the breakout instead of trying to get clear in the neutral zone | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Derek Gentile | Summary | Not an impressive showing from the small forward. He was unnoticeable for most of the game, and made some poor choices. Gentile has quickness, and looks like a player who could develop, but he's definitely a project at this young age. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Jocktan Chainey | Note | Chainey with a blast from the point that pinballs in. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Jocktan Chainey | Note | Chainey is decently sized at 6’ and 200+ pounds. One of the youngest players in the draft with a September 8, 1999 birthday | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Jocktan Chainey | Note | Bad turnover by Chainey in the last minute of the game. Handcuffed himself then a scramble behind the net. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Louis-Philip Cote | Note | Cote paying the price in front of the net. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Maxime Fortier | Note | On the powerplay, got off three shot attempts, but nothing overly dangerous | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Maxime Fortier | Note | Fortier can fly--his straightline speed is remarkable | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Maxime Fortier | Summary | Fortier is speed, acceleration and drive. He is not necessarily crafty with the puck, but does not hesitate to shoot and finds space whenever available. I didn't see him really generate offense on his own, however, though a lot of that might be due to Hischier running the offense and they share ice time. Hard to tell if he is a quality offensive player or complementing Hischier's game right now. I'd like to see him play without such an obvious playmaker. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Great change of direction that left a defender scrambling to recover | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Rang the crossbar, then gathered the puck and sent a nice pass to Fortier for a one-timer | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Solid technique moving the puck up ice, one hand on the stick, puck well out in front of him, head up surveying the ice, power and speed though his whole body | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Nice backhand pass to hit a striding Fortier for a long-distance one-timer that caused problems | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Very patient with the puck, always dangerous because of his vision and passing | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Soft on the backcheck | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Super elusive with the puck on his stick, able to quickly change directions along the boards and shake defenders | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Terrific body positioning in the circle, and tricky, tricky backhand shot that came from nowhere, but on replay was well-thought out in advance. Really smart play. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Sees an opening on the short side and slaps one direct on target for a clean goal | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | There have been at least three times this game where Hischier has a made a play while down on the ice. Never gives up in the offensive zone. Will he develop that same tenacity on D? If so, he'll become a highly dangerous and effective player. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Summary | The best player on the ice, without question. Hischier needs to spend some more effort on the backcheck and in the defensive zone, but his play in his own end is not a liability and will improve. His offensive skills and speed are excellent, and his vision is excellent or better. He shows great awareness and patience on the ice, and was untouchable when he had the puck on his stick. He should be a top choice for the 2017 draft | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Hischier’s stickhandling on another level in this game. Edges are very good too, stops quickly, let’s the defender go by to get space to make a play. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Strange 3-2 power play leaves Hischier and Fortier on the top of the deployment. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Hischier digs the puck out and his centering pass goes to the point, defender shoots it in off a Quebec defender | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Hischier playing more of a perimeter game in the first half of this game. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Hischier slap shot goes short side on a perfectly screened Booth. Moynihan with the screen. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Nico Hischier | Note | Hischier with good puck protection skills comes to the top of the circles and rifles it in. Not much work in the greasy areas of the ice for the Swiss pivot in this game. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Otto Somppi | Note | Draws a tripping penalty, but he wasn't moving his feet | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Otto Somppi | Note | Energetic, but looks a bit disconnected between his feet, hands and eyes. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Otto Somppi | Note | Good speed at the top end, but I haven't seen a lot of explosive acceleration. First couple of steps can seem sluggish | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Otto Somppi | Note | Good work to get back to his own blue line to chase down a puck, but instead of collecting the puck and gaining good possession, he just slapped a blind backhand back to center ice and straight to a Quebec attacker. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Otto Somppi | Note | I like his physicality and attention to defense. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Otto Somppi | Note | Another blind backhand pass, a habit he really needs to break | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Otto Somppi | Note | Somppi's energy is well-suited for the penalty kill, where he is good at hounding the points and half-boards | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Otto Somppi | Summary | Somppi plays with gusto and seems constantly active when he is on the ice, but he lacks offensive creativity. He plays the body and will take the puck to the net, but he looks like the very definition of a north-south player. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Otto Somppi | Note | I just like Otto Somppi's game a heck of a lot. Honest play, effort on every shift and every play. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Otto Somppi | Note | Good defensive play by Somppi. Sealed the post and knocks the puck back behind the net. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Note | Good stickwork to break up an opportunity for a Halifax defensive-zone exit | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Note | Stable on his skates, but has that youthfulness in his skating that will develop over the next year-plus and give him better power and quicker returns on his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Note | Great job off the puck during a 2-on-1 to get squared and ready for a one-timer, which he guided far post past a sliding Gravel | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Note | There's a lot to like about his offensive game, but I'd like to see more willingness to endure contact and get bruised up a bit to make a play | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Note | Not the best choice in the closing seconds of the tied game, could have gone back to the point to an advancing defender and a chance for a big one-timer, but instead went backhand to the slot and the play was broken up. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Summary | Looks bigger than his listed 5'11 height, has a good reach and balance that allows him to take up space. His offensive instincts and ability to convert chances is above average or better, and he should further develop is game over this season and next before his draft. His production at draft-year minus one is highly encouraging, to say the least. | Brian Fogarty | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Note | Good burst of speed for Kurashev to turn the corner and get in on Gravel | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Note | Kurashev with a great cross-ice feed to get the goal. Threaded the pass. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Note | Kurashev doesn’t forget his defensive responsibility as a center. Was tempted but caught himself. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Note | Kurashev changes directions very quickly. Good fluid transitions. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Note | Kurashev knuckle puck gets past Gravel’s glove for the Ramparts goal. Well played 2 on 1 and was able to somehow pot a goal. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Note | Quebec running a lot of its power play through Kurashev. Almost predictably so. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Philipp Kurashev | Note | Kurashev loses the dangle and doesn’t get a shot off. | Zachary DeVine | Halifax vs. Quebec (QMJHL) | 11/24/2016 | 11/24/2016 | 10105 |
Jaret Anderson-Dolan | Note | Anderson-Dolan works hard during his shifts, honest effort from him so far in this game. | Zachary DeVine | Spokane vs Kamloops (WHL) | 11/23/2016 | 11/23/2016 | 10104 |
Jaret Anderson-Dolan | Note | Anderson-Dolan plays the center position responsibly. Can often find him in the middle of the ice coming down low to help his defenders | Zachary DeVine | Spokane vs Kamloops (WHL) | 11/23/2016 | 11/23/2016 | 10104 |
Jaret Anderson-Dolan | Note | Anderson-Dolan continues to impress. Just does everything well and with his hardworking style, gets a lot done as a center | Zachary DeVine | Spokane vs Kamloops (WHL) | 11/23/2016 | 11/23/2016 | 10104 |
Nolan Kneen | Note | Kneen goes to line up a hipcheck and it’s completely off. Allows a 3-on-1 and ultimately a goal. Not a good read. | Zachary DeVine | Spokane vs Kamloops (WHL) | 11/23/2016 | 11/23/2016 | 10104 |
Nolan Kneen | Note | Kneen not afraid of the rough stuff. A second fight in as many games against Spokane, not afraid to stand in there and to throw the right hand. | Zachary DeVine | Spokane vs Kamloops (WHL) | 11/23/2016 | 11/23/2016 | 10104 |
Ondrej Vala | Note | Vala keeps tight gaps and his stick in the lane. | Zachary DeVine | Spokane vs Kamloops (WHL) | 11/23/2016 | 11/23/2016 | 10104 |

Pavel Kousal | Note | Kousal gets a second goal on a nifty passing sequence between he and the elder Yamamoto brother. Quick hands and keeps himself in position to get the return pass. | Zachary DeVine | Spokane vs Kamloops (WHL) | 11/23/2016 | 11/23/2016 | 10104 |
Rudolfs Balcers | Note | Balcers throws the breaks on to get a lane to shoot, has his feet taken out of from under him, while in mid-air gets the shot off that nearly trickles through the Spokane goalie but a quick whistle saves it. | Zachary DeVine | Spokane vs Kamloops (WHL) | 11/23/2016 | 11/23/2016 | 10104 |
Rudolfs Balcers | Note | Balcers floating in close to the net able to collect the pinballing puck and quickly get it to the empty net. Balcers has a knack for quiet but dangerous areas of the ice. | Zachary DeVine | Spokane vs Kamloops (WHL) | 11/23/2016 | 11/23/2016 | 10104 |
Rudolfs Balcers | Note | Balcers just slippery in close. Seems to be able to get to the front of the net with no one noticing. | Zachary DeVine | Spokane vs Kamloops (WHL) | 11/23/2016 | 11/23/2016 | 10104 |
Urho Vaakanainen | Note | Vaakanainen body positioning often isn’t ideal, allowing attacking forwards an out. Doesn’t eliminate the player | Zachary DeVine | JYP vs HPK (Liiga) | 11/23/2016 | 11/23/2016 | 10103 |
Cody Glass | Note | Bad centering pass by Glass works out and he gets a secondary assists after a deflection on goal. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Cody Glass | Note | Glass with great patience to not shoot and move to the backhand for the shot on goal. Calm in close. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Cody Glass | Note | Glass not scared of high traffic areas, but looks for a soft area in close. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Henri Jokiharju | Note | Jokiharju reading the plays and dump-ins well, seemingly always in position to recover the puck and transition the puck up the ice. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Henri Jokiharju | Note | Jokiharju quick with the puck decisions. they come quick and defenses have issues with it. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Henri Jokiharju | Note | Jokiharju caught down low in a 2-on-1 and lets the pass through, wasn’t in good position | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |

Joachim Blichfeld | Note | Blichfeld has a good pass option but buckled a bit. Needs to be quicker with that pass on the power play. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Joachim Blichfeld | Note | Blichfeld lost Olson who scored the goal. Blown defensive coverage. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Joachim Blichfeld | Note | Blichfeld with a quick shot that is saved. has had a number of good looks. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Joachim Blichfeld | Note | Blichfeld has had a number of looks but most have gone wide of the net | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Joachim Blichfeld | Note | Blichfeld big shift in the middle of the second. See the flashes in his skill, needs to execute a bit better. Creativity has been impressive. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Juuso Valimaki | Note | Valimaki loves to drive the net, even if there isn’t a lane to do so | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Juuso Valimaki | Note | Valimaki not using any speed through the neutral zone. Not backing up the Portland defense and allowing them to stand up. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Juuso Valimaki | Note | Valimaki’s skating looks a bit clunky and his give and go drive to the net is predictable. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Kyle Olson | Note | Olson perfectly timed the drive and got free for a good tip in. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |

Michael Rasmussen | Note | Ramussen’s block at the horn saves the game. Not sure he meant to, but got enough of the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Morgan Geekie | Note | Geekie just seems to get plays done. A lot of them I don’t even think will work. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Morgan Geekie | Note | Geekie with another great set-up pass, this time from behind the net. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Portland (WHL) | 11/6/2016 | 11/6/2016 | 10102 |
Dawson Weatherill | Note | Weatherhill not picking up the puck very well, giving up three PPG’s in first 31 minutes | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Spokane (WHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10101 |
Dawson Weatherill | Note | Weatherhill with a massive glove save but technically it was a lucky save, didn’t get across cleanly. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Spokane (WHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10101 |
Dawson Weatherill | Note | Weatherill’s lateral movement is all over the place. Don’t get a good push, had trouble resetting if the play didn’t develop the way he thought. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Spokane (WHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10101 |
Ethan McIndoe | Note | McIndoe not a big player but using his body well to shield the puck | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Spokane (WHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10101 |
Jaret Anderson-Dolan | Note | Anderson-Dolan has been a very interesting player. Not big, but smart with the puck. He’s shown good hands and playing with Yamamoto he has not looked out of place. Not a big player. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Spokane (WHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10101 |
Juuso Valimaki | Note | Valimaki jumps up in overtime and pots the winner. Drove the lane and one-timed the Geekie cross-ice pass into the net. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Spokane (WHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10101 |
Kailer Yamamoto | Note | Yamamoto slides in behind the goalie to the back post and a shot-pass is perfectly directed in. Credit the defender as well, but Yamamoto read what was given to him brilliantly. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Spokane (WHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10101 |
Kailer Yamamoto | Note | Yamamoto again slips behind the defense and another great pass, this time from Anderson-Dolan, is quickly deposited in the back of the net.

Morgan Geekie | Note | Geekie sets up both the game-tying and game-winning goals. Both were slightly lucky, but he was getting it done. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs Spokane (WHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10101 |
Alexis Binner | Note | Smooth on his pivot and showing good movement in all four directions. Looks confident going back and swiveling to keep his gap | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Casey Mittelstadt | Note | Getting double-shifted down by a goal in the third period. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Casey Mittelstadt | Note | Wow! Carries the puck up ice on the powerplay, enters the offensive zone, and from just inside the blueline he rips the puck past the goaltender, who was so fooled by the shot that he barely moved. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Casey Mittelstadt | Summary | The offensive skills are excellent, with a deceptive and startlingly quick release. His vision and leadership in the offensive zone are reflective of his ability to think the game at a high level. Not a blazing skater, but not deficient, and good ability to maintain speed at a glide. The one thing lacking in this game seemed to be an urgency to make things happen on every shift. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Casey Mittelstadt | Note | Constantly in motion in the defensive zone, but leads a breakout pass just a bit too much | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Casey Mittelstadt | Note | Two quick passes through the slot, each of which creating top-notch scoring chances that his PP unit line mates could not convert. Great vision there. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Casey Mittelstadt | Note | Works hard down low in his own zone | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Casey Mittelstadt | Note | Consistently drawing a pair of opponents when he has the puck, and now he draws a penalty | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Casey Mittelstadt | Note | Quick hands on the faceoff | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Isaac Johnson | Note | Acceleration comes in the form of tiny, choppy, almost tip-toe steps. Lots of foot movement but going nowhere | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Isaac Johnson | Summary | Scored a goal, but also took some unnecessary penalties. I liked his effort, but he needs to bring it down a bit into the proper moments of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Mario Ferraro | Note | Takes the puck into the offensive zone as his line gets a change | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |

Mario Ferraro | Note | Always looking to jump into the rush | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Mario Ferraro | Summary | Ferraro plays the game like a forward who is too often caught in his own end and trying to get back up to his wing position. Smart, with good quickness and poise on defense, but he'd rather be carrying the puck up ice, it seems. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Nolan Moyle | Note | Brings the puck into the offensive zone, but then just flips it at the net. Did nothing there to create. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Nolan Moyle | Note | Got destroyed by a stellar hipcheck just into the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Nolan Moyle | Summary | Not much flare in his game, okay speed, plays a decent physical game. | Brian Fogarty | Green Bay vs Des Moines (USHL) | 11/5/2016 | 11/5/2016 | 10100 |
Chris Brown | Note | Not focusing on him, but need to note that he has a nasty disguise and patience on his wrist shot. Just befuddled the Wisconsin goaltender for a hat-trick goal from distance | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
David Cotton | Note | Average skater, but long legs give his stride distance that helps make up for missing stride power | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
David Cotton | Note | Works hard at both ends of the ice, backchecks with determination and gets into defensive position before the play enters his D zone. | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
David Cotton | Note | Looks like he's struggling to understand how to use all of his size, not quite fully coordinated yet | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
David Cotton | Summary | Cotton is a player who is easily overlooked, but then makes a quality play. Plays a quiet game, but has good all-around skill set. | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
JD Dudek | Note | Really good skating techniques: deep knee bend, great backwards c-cuts | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
JD Dudek | Note | His low skating style gives him such a solid base. He just took a clean hit in the open ice and just bounced away from it and stayed on his feet | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
JD Dudek | Summary | Skating is the key here, with the hope that the rest of the tools develop into a quality player. If not, he'll be a career AHLer. | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
Luke Kunin | Note | Would like to see him engage more physically in front of his own net | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |

Luke Kunin | Note | Kunin with a poor pass that looked like he just lost concentration for a second | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
Luke Kunin | Summary | Kunin is a player with all of the skills and talent to be a great player, except he seems to lack that spark that sets the special players apart from the rest. Need to keep watching him to see if it was just a choppy game keeping him from finding a rhythm. | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |

Max Zimmer | Note | Seems like he's often in the right place, but not fully engaged in the game. Just a half-tick behind on everything | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
Max Zimmer | Summary | Good player, but I saw nothing special from him. Moves well, but looks like a bottom-six player at best | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
Ryan Fitzgerald | Note | Quick release with zip on a mid-distance wrist shot, kept it low through traffic | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |

Ryan Fitzgerald | Note | Determined all the time to make a play at either end. Constantly going hard. | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
Ryan Fitzgerald | Summary | High-end puck skills allow him to stickhandle through traffic and a sharp release that him a dangerous shot from anywhere in the offensive zone.

Trent Frederic | Note | Nice tip despite being cross-checked just as the puck was being shot. Concentration and balance to make a difficult play. | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
Trent Frederic | Note | Pivots well backward to forward skating as he opens his hips for a pass | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
Trent Frederic | Summary | Intriguing combination of size and skill with a solid foundation and strength in his skates. A project to be sure, but with good upside if he pans out. | Brian Fogarty | Wisconsin vs Boston College (NCAA) | 10/16/2016 | 10/16/2016 | 10099 |
Danny O’Regan | Note | O’Regan’s hard play draws a penalty. Not big but works the dirty areas well | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 10/15/2016 | 10/15/2016 | 10098 |

Jujhar Khaira | Note | Khaira with a dish at speed to his winger for a good chance. Owned the center of the ice and drew in the defenders. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 10/15/2016 | 10/15/2016 | 10098 |
Mantas Armalis | Note | Armalis with two tough saves early. Lots of traffic for the big goalie to see around. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 10/15/2016 | 10/15/2016 | 10098 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Mueller with a good read and chip up to the forward to clear the zone on the PK | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 10/15/2016 | 10/15/2016 | 10098 |

Tim Heed | Note | Heed with a good read to step into the forwards path to eliminate him from the play. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 10/15/2016 | 10/15/2016 | 10098 |

Anders Bjork | Note | Nice give and go, passes to the low man and goes to the crease, then snaps home the return pass, top shelf | Brian Fogarty | Arizona State vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 10/8/2016 | 10/10/2016 | 10097 |

Anders Bjork | Summary | Best player on the ice for either team, and he dominated the game whenever he was on the ice. Great quickness and edgework, smart soft hands and excellent vision that allowed him to complete plays with ease. | Brian Fogarty | Arizona State vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 10/8/2016 | 10/10/2016 | 10097 |
Andrew Peeke | Note | Poor choice behind his own net to try a backhand pass to the circle, and the resulting turnover ends up in the Notre Dame net. | Brian Fogarty | Arizona State vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 10/8/2016 | 10/10/2016 | 10097 |
Andrew Peeke | Note | Tries to carry the puck into the offensive zone, makes the entry but loses the puck at the top of the circle | Brian Fogarty | Arizona State vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 10/8/2016 | 10/10/2016 | 10097 |
Andrew Peeke | Summary | Looked sloppy and out of sorts, and made little impact in this game that helped his team | Brian Fogarty | Arizona State vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 10/8/2016 | 10/10/2016 | 10097 |

Brinson Pasichnuk | Note | Goes offside during a two-on-two chance shorthanded | Brian Fogarty | Arizona State vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 10/8/2016 | 10/10/2016 | 10097 |
Brinson Pasichnuk | Note | Cannot handle Morrison in front of the net on the penalty kill, and goalie has to bail him out | Brian Fogarty | Arizona State vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 10/8/2016 | 10/10/2016 | 10097 |
Brinson Pasichnuk | Summary | Hockey sense seems lacking and his skating needs work. He seems to have good effort and abilities, and may improve over time, but right now I don't see a lot of NHLer in him. | Brian Fogarty | Arizona State vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 10/8/2016 | 10/10/2016 | 10097 |
Cam Morrison | Note | Drives to the net without the puck and Bjork rewards him with a great setup pass | Brian Fogarty | Arizona State vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 10/8/2016 | 10/10/2016 | 10097 |

Cam Morrison | Summary | Strong player who likes to take up space in front of the net. When he gets the puck in the offensive zone, he drives hard to the net and shows good hands to get hard shots and regularly forces saves. His lack of vision limits his threat with the puck however, because defenders can cheat to him without worrying as much about him making a hard-to-find pass. | Brian Fogarty | Arizona State vs Notre Dame (NCAA) | 10/8/2016 | 10/10/2016 | 10097 |

Danny O’Regan | Note | O’Regan is a gamer. Huge effort, quick and driving the net. | Zachary DeVine | SJS Dev Camp Scrimmage | 8/11/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10096 |
Jeremy Roy | Note | Roy a great skater, leads the breakout, follows up and gets the puck for a SOG. | Zachary DeVine | SJS Dev Camp Scrimmage | 8/11/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10096 |
Karlis Cukste | Note | Cukste has issues under pressure with the puck and not making the best decisions with it. | Zachary DeVine | SJS Dev Camp Scrimmage | 8/11/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10096 |

Marcus Sorensen | Note | Sorensen has NHL-ready hands. Quickness around the corner on the defense and used his body well to shield the puck. | Zachary DeVine | SJS Dev Camp Scrimmage | 8/11/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10096 |
Maxim Letunov | Note | Letunov having issues with the physical aspect of the game. Knocked off the puck easily each time. | Zachary DeVine | SJS Dev Camp Scrimmage | 8/11/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10096 |

Timo Meier | Note | Meier getting to the open areas, good reads on the plays. | Zachary DeVine | SJS Dev Camp Scrimmage | 8/11/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10096 |
Timo Meier | Note | Meier playing center wins the draw and O’Regan fires the one-timer for the goal. | Zachary DeVine | SJS Dev Camp Scrimmage | 8/11/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10096 |
Timo Meier | Note | Meier release is very quick. Comes at speed. | Zachary DeVine | SJS Dev Camp Scrimmage | 8/11/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10096 |

Tyler Nother | Note | Nother with a solid hit after a good read. Keeps the puck in the offensive zone. Simple game. | Zachary DeVine | SJS Dev Camp Scrimmage | 8/11/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10096 |

Martin Necas | Note | Dishes out a bad penalty kill crosscheck after the whistle and gets lucky to have matching minors. Not the smartest play. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Martin Necas | Note | On the powerplay, fakes the slapshot and rips a pass to Safin for the goal. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Martin Necas | Note | The Czech captain trying to make something happen in the third period, down by two goals. Goes to the net, gets a good chance. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Martin Necas | Note | Still trying hard to close the gap, gets into the offensive zone but solid defensive effort prevents a wrap-around attempt. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Martin Necas | Note | Whiffs on a powerplay slapshot from the blue line, which allows a clean breakaway that the goalie saved. Must be more careful with the puck than that. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Martin Necas | Summary | Hard-effort game, good quickness and a willingness to get to the net, but nothing really impressive in this game. Some sloppy play at times and poor decisions. He has tools, though, and will need more viewings to get a good read on his abilities | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Michael Pastujov | Note | Keeps the puck well out in front when transitioning through the neutral zone, good puck possession into the offensive zone | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Michael Pastujov | Note | Gets a clean breakaway but loses the handle going back to his forehand and the prime chance slips away | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Michael Pastujov | Note | Leads a two-on-one with Poehling, makes the correct choice and puts a hard wrist shot on net that is saved but trickles into the crease, and Poehling is able to reach out and tip the puck into the net. The original shot from Pastujov was hard and difficult to handle for the goalie. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Michael Pastujov | Note | Good backhand pass to set up Poehling for the goal. Was crowded by penalty killers but managed to get to the loose puck and make the difficult pass look easy | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |

Showed high-end vision throughout the game. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |

Ostap Safin | Note | Perfect one-timer on the hard slap pass from Necas, making no mistake on the goal. Pretty shot. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Ostap Safin | Note | Speed and body positioning into the offensive zone allows him to protect the puck and create time for his line mates. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Ostap Safin | Note | More impressed with him on every shift. He just launched a hard slapshot from high on the halfboards near the top of the circle that was trouble for the US goalie. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Ostap Safin | Note | Skating is smooth, balanced and fluid. Solid three-step acceleration and his pivots are clean and effortless. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Ostap Safin | Summary | Big, long-legged winger that skates extremely well in all aspects. At 6'4, 198, he looks like a player that will add another 10-15 pounds over the next couple of years, and with his patience, puck skills and shot, Safin is a top prospect in the making. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Ryan Poehling | Note | High work rate. Won a faceoff in the offensive zone, then found the puck, deked to the slot and forced a save. Later in the same shift, draws a tripping penalty by driving the net and still tries to get a backhanded shot while going down. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Ryan Poehling | Note | Quick, sneaky wrist shot bar down for the powerplay goal | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |

Ryan Poehling | Summary | Poehling had a great game and the puck seemed to always find him. He is quick, with good size at 6'3, 185, and he uses his body well to maintain possession, get position at both ends, and create space. Willing to go the front of the net to make things happen, but has a nasty wrist shot from middle distance, too. | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |
Sasha Chmelevski | Note | Gets a pass from Lodnia in his feet, digs out the puck but has to stretch to corral the runaway puck, but is able to draw it back and wire a return pass to Lodnia for the easy goal | Brian Fogarty | USA v CZE (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10095 |

Ian Mitchell | Note | Sequence of poor plays with the puck led to extended pressure in his own zone | Brian Fogarty | SWE v CAN (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10094 |
Jordy Bellerive | Note | Just got away with an ill-advised interference in the offensive zone. Poor choice. | Brian Fogarty | SWE v CAN (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10094 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Superb change of direction with the puck leaves the defender lost and Veleno puts a quick shot on net | Brian Fogarty | SWE v CAN (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10094 |
Joseph Veleno | Note | Edgework looks fantastic | Brian Fogarty | SWE v CAN (Hlinka 2016) | 8/10/2016 | 8/11/2016 | 10094 |

Kailer Yamamoto | Note | Yamamoto will take a hit on the boards and appear moments later in front of the net. Elusive player. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team USA vs Team Sweden | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10079 |
Lias Andersson | Note | Andersson with a nice pass to setup the second Looke goal. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team USA vs Team Sweden | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10079 |
Lias Andersson | Note | Lias Andersson going very well today. Skating to the net and playing a very stout game. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team USA vs Team Sweden | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10079 |
Logan Brown | Note | Logan Brown has been quiet. Flashes of stick-handling but quiet | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team USA vs Team Sweden | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10079 |
Marcus Davidsson | Note | Reads the rebound and puts it right back on net. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team USA vs Team Sweden | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10079 |
Oskar Steen | Note | Steen having a quiet game. Not getting much done. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team USA vs Team Sweden | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10079 |
Ryan Lindgren | Note | Lindgren plays great angles and sees the ice very well. Smart player who picks the perfect time to carry the puck up ice. Not afraid of pressure | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team USA vs Team Sweden | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10079 |
Tage Thompson | Note | Another strong shift by Thompson. Having a great camp and been noticeable in every period | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team USA vs Team Sweden | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10079 |
Tage Thompson | Note | Thompson tenacious on the forecheck and creates a scoring chance and offensive faceoff out of nothing. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team USA vs Team Sweden | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10079 |
Troy Terry | Note | Good hard shot by Terry gets the puck through Gustavsson’s pads | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team USA vs Team Sweden | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10079 |
Brock Boeser | Note | Boeser’s shot is excellent. Quick release, hard shot. Accurate. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team USA Practice | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10078 |
Luke Martin | Note | Martin plays his angles well. Stick nearly always in a good spot to make the pass or shot harder. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team USA Practice | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10078 |
Brett Howden | Summary | Howden has a good motor but too many times the puck handling skills have not allowed him to do much with the puck. He will be an NHL player some day, but the offensive upside that many hope for from him was not on display at NJEC. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Brett Howden | Note | Howden does not have good puck skills. Losing the handle on nearly every puck | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Brett Howden | Note | Howden's passes often miss the mark | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Tolvanen is small, but not afraid of laying a hit on players. Good at neutralizing the play, maybe not inflicting damage | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Eeli Tolvanen | Note | A lot more jump in Tolvanen’s game today. Adjustment to the time zone and ice surface likely a big factor. The rest was there in spurts, now every shift. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Tolvanen with a goal scorer's goal. Snipe of a shot to tie the game. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Henri Jokiharju | Note | Good stick by Jokiharju late in the 3rd on Tyson Jost. Stayed with the player but knocked the puck away and into the corner. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Still worried a bit about Chychrun. Some of his plays with the puck were very sloppy in the first period. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Janne Kuokkanen | Note | Kuokkanen is being keyed in on by Team Canada, interested to see how he can deal with all the attention defensively. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Janne Kuokkanen | Note | Kuokkanen not a blazing fast skater, play going end to end and he’s having a bit of trouble | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Jeremy Roy | Note | Roy with a great carry up ice, Tolvanen hounding him on every stride | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Julius Nattinen | Note | Great pressure by Ruotsalinen and Nattinen on the last shift. Had Canada hemmed in the defensive zone. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Juuso Valimaki | Note | Valimaki’s shot almost goes in, somehow got it through | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Kasper Bjorkqvist | Note | Bjorkqvist with a good centering pass that the winger isn’t ready for. Good read | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Kasper Bjorkqvist | Note | Bjorkqvist passing way too much | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Kasper Bjorkqvist | Note | Bjorkqvist with a clear line to the net and dishes for a poor shot on goal. Needs to be more selfish. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Kasper Bjorkqvist | Note | Bjorkqvist's transitions need attention, it’s more of a hop around than pivoting | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Vesalainen does it all for Finland. Out on the PP, top line, and now out on the PK | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Vesalainen a few times has covered for pinching defender. Good awareness of where his teammates are on the ice and doing an overall good job. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Vesalainen taking a bit too long to get his shot off, Canada whacking at his stick as often as possible | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Vesalainen with a solid hit on Kolesar. Has been one of the more physical Finn forwards | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Michael McLeod | Note | McLeod is blazingly fast. Insane how much ice he can cover in the blink of an eye | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Dubois hitting hard , and often | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Chabot taking the stick and not the body. Needs to dump a player that comes that close to him and puts the puck in his skates. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Chabot puts a hard shot off the post. Impressive game thus far from him | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Travis Konecney | Summary | Konecney is the best forward on the ice for Canada. Making things happen, creatively a football-style pass that Crouse can bring down like a receiver. Good game from the PHL product. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Travis Konecney | Note | Konecney barely misses short side high on the feed from Jost | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Jost with a strong backcheck saves a Tolvanen goal. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Veini Vehvalainen | Note | Really not sure what Finland will do if Vehvilainen is the option for them at WJC. Has not looked good. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Vili Saarijarvi | Note | Saarijarvi with some good footwork to breakup a play with no stick he broke in the other zone. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10077 |
Brock Boeser | Summary | Boeser’s skating and nose for the net served him well at the NJEC. His decision making at times was a bit slow, but the right play was always seen. His release is among the best on any team, maybe top 10 of the prospects outside of the NHL. Was a key offensive driver on Team USA. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Cal Foote | Summary | Easy to see why Foote is considered a top prospect in the 2017 Draft. Already physically developed, he is the latest to come out of the Kelowna Rockets defenseman factory. Decisions were good with and without the puck, skating is above average, defensive game beyond his years. First round talent with zero doubt. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Caleb Jones | Summary | Continues to confuse me. At times has solid puck skills and good decisions. Next shift is selfish and forcing plays while carrying the puck. Has a tendency to skate himself right out of the play as well. Physical tools are there, but the on-ice awareness and use of teammates has to be much better. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Carl Grundstrom | Summary | Seemed to be a off week for Grundstrom. Other times I have seen him he has been a solid, hardworking, two-way player. Numerous times he did not keep his feet moving and it cost Sweden a chance or a play. He’s better than he showed here. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Carter Hart | Summary | Always amazing to watch, Hart's anticipation sets him apart. He isn’t as athletic as some of his peers, but he does not have to be. He sees and thinks the game at a level far higher than normal at this level. Three years of development and he could easily be seen as a goaltender in the NHL. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Casey Fitzgerald | Summary | Understated and simple game, Fitzgerald had a lot of physical plays for Team USA. He was one of the few big bodies at camp and made sure he was sound defensively and careful with the puck. With so many skilled puck movers paired with him, not much was seen offensively, but he knew his role. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Casey Mittelstadt | Summary | Underwhelming performance for the highly-touted Minnesota product. Looked timid and confused at times on the ice with the older skilled players, even if he had the same or more skill than they. The speed of the game was a challenge for him. Mittlestadt will return to play high school hockey this fall and couple that with USHL time. I think this is a mistake. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Chad Krys | Summary | Krys was a faller for me in the 2016 draft and this camp only confirmed it for me. Defensively he is unreliable and can over stickhandle with the puck. Positioning when he’s without the puck looks unsure and the size is missing as well. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Charlie McAvoy | Summary | His game is growing on me after a few mediocre viewings last year. Offensively he was solid and made a lot of plays happen. Defensively he was better but timing and zone reads need to improve further. MacAvoy has all the raw tools, but they are very raw. I view him as a bit of a project defenseman with massive upside. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Clayton Keller | Summary | Almost nothing left to say about Keller that hasn’t been talked about a lot at Hockey Prophets. His vision is elite, his hands extraordinary and his shot above average. He will tear up the NHL once he puts 15-20 pounds of muscle on his frame. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Dante Fabbro | Summary | In a bad showing for Team Canada, Fabbro was a single bright spot on defense. Coming from the BCHL, there were questions about the level of competition he was against, but after the U18s and NJEC, it is put to rest. A lock for the WJC roster. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
David Bernhardt | Summary | Bernhardt's skating was an area of real concern. Not a lot of power is generated and defensively his edge work and overall foot work need help. When he kept his game simple, he had a higher chance of success. Not an overly flashy player. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Dylan Strome | Summary | Strome will be with the Coyotes this year, he’s ready. Won’t be available for the WJC due to NHL ice time. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Eeli Tolvanen | Summary | If he were 4” taller there might be a Matthews/Laine-type battle between Patrick/Tolvanen. He’s lethal in a shooting lane. Hyper accurate, lightning release and a lot behind the shot when you consider his size. Skating is above average and has a mean streak in his game. Familiar with the North American game due to his time in the USHL, he needs to add muscle but the package of skills he possesses is marvelous. Top 10 player. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Erik Foley | Summary | Erik Foley was a revelation of a player at NJEC. He’s a solid, thick frame with good skating ability with a north/south style of game. He showed some patience with the puck and goal scoring ability, which is key in the professional ranks. Foley was a highly intelligent and self-aware young man when speaking with him. A complete package prospect. Still in college, but the Jets found another gem. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Felix Sandstrom | Summary | The WJC veteran was steady and impressive again at camp. Sweden’s defense gave up a lot of shots and Felix hung tough in both of his starts. Hard to imagine any other goalie starting for Sweden while Sandstrom is around. His size, mental approach, and athletic prowess is hard to match. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Gabriel Carlsson | Summary | Highly impressed with the two-way game of Carlsson. Was sent out every other shift for team Sweden. Defensively a rock, offensively conservative. He has good first-pass ability, but not much power play upside. The strength on his shots were very average, but accurate. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Gustav Bouramman | Summary | Constantly making bad plays with the puck. Passes were sloppy, looked outclassed on the ice. Constantly surprised by the speed of the opposition, not a good sign at this level. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Henri Jokiharju | Summary | One of the three 2017 defenders Finland brought to NJEC, but the best. Slated to play for Portland Winterhawks next season. Jokiharju is small but had a number of very good reads and was responsible on both ends of the ice. Skating is above average as well. His shot is weak and he’ll need to add a lot of lean mass. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Jack Ahcan | Summary | One of the smaller players at NJEC, Ahcan is a smooth skating defenseman who most of the time makes a positive contribution with the puck. At only 5’8 there is an obvious physical disadvantage but the hockey IQ is good and he was able to out-think and out-position forwards much of the time. Ahcan was the USHL’s defender of the year in 2016 and is a dark horse for the WJC squad. Undrafted the last two years as a 1997 birthdate. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Jack Roslovic | Summary | Paired often with fellow Jets prospect Erik Foley, the two had a chemistry together and their games were a big compliment. Roslovic is a shifty skater with good vision and operates at speed. His shifts were noticeable as he was buzzing around the ice, causing havoc and positively influencing play. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Janne Kuokkanen | Summary | Really impressive camp for Kuokkanen. He played the game he needed to, was part of solid plays on both ends of the ice. He has some skating issues but nothing that can’t be fixed with a summer or two of keen attention. His game doesn’t slow down with the puck on his stick. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Jens Looke | Summary | Another good showing for Looke. Deceptive offensive upside and gets some very good chances with good on-ice awareness to quick reads. Every time I see him he’s looked better so the improvement and progression are another key positive as well. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Joel Eriksson Ek | Summary | The captain of Team Sweden put in a fantastic effort. He lead by example on the ice with his high intensity of play. Offensively he’s always been good, but showed a number of very high-skill plays. His development has to be considered ahead of schedule and a higher output than expected. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Jonathan Dahlen | Summary | The son of Ulf Dalhen, watching Jonathan skate brings back memories. He plays a very “Euro” game and struggled when the play got physical. He senses pressure and saw the ice well and I see him more as a playmaker than a shooter, but showed talent when ripping a shot off, as well. He wasn’t afraid to get in front of the net and did have a very nice tip-in goal, as well. His acceleration was below average. His overall speed was acceptable but the first steps need to be sorted out along with pivoting. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Jordan Greenway | Summary | 6’6 and 220+ pounds is hard to move in the NHL, and at the Junior level it is nearly impossible. Greenway is a power forward in the classic variety. A good enough skater, rather go through you, and the goals come from in close. Was a force in front of the net and created space with his physical brand of hockey. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Juuso Valimaki | Summary | His time in the WHL with Tri-City was evident. Valimaki was one of the 2017 defenders that Finland leaned heavily on and he didn’t disappoint. He’s an interesting mix of talent and raw ability and being over in North America already certainly will help with scouts' viewings of him. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Kailer Yamamoto | Summary | Only 5’8 the younger of the Yamamoto brothers went from a tentative partner of Casey Mittlestadt to a full contributor on a line with Clayton Keller and Kieffer Bellows. After two full years in the WHL you have to believe that the “Dub” was the best place to see if a smaller player like Kailer can survive. His point totals have been there, his leadership is noted and he has that elusive slipperiness you want in smaller players to go with a good amount of dynamic unpredictability. Spokane is retooling this year, so it will be interesting to see how Kailer’s season progresses. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Kieffer Bellows | Summary | Bellows game hasn’t changed much, he’s just become bigger, meaner, and better. The idea of Bellows on the wing of John Tavares is insane. Bellows' skating looked better but the silly penalties remain. The heaviness of his shot and how we can get to both the soft and hard parts of the ice, Bellows will be a force at any level of hockey with those tools. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Summary | The other of the Finnish wingers, Vesalainen has size, puck handling and shot that coaches dream about. He’s played in the SHL (oddly) but got 19 games in with Frolunda’s men’s club. He can have a tendency to drift wide on plays, but he’s relentless without the puck, plays a very strong defensive game for his age and not afraid of physical play. Might be a top 5 player next summer. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Logan Brown | Summary | Brown at NJEC reminded me more of the October - January Logan we saw last year: flashes of brilliant and stretches of invisibility. With such talented wingers and defensemen around him, he should have been far more impactful on games. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Luke Kunin | Summary | Kunin was great at the NCAA level and plays a tough brand of hockey. His release and shot are excellent and skating is good too but he could get more power out of his lateral movements. His stride is fine, it is more the technical and thus highly correctable areas that need some work. The intangible items are there as a shooter. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Luke Martin | Summary | The only 2017-eligible defender for Team USA, the NTDP product is looking more and more like a first round pick. He has the size and skating with an underrated zone exiting pass and heavy shot from the point. He’ll head to the NCAA next year as a true freshman and I think he’ll more than handle himself. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Marcus Davidsson | Summary | A so-so showing for the 2017 draft eligible. He had the chops to hang in but a lot of times seemed to lack confidence with and without the puck. Timid at times, but when stops overthinking and plays hockey, it shows through. Will be interesting to see him play in more comfortable surroundings. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Mitch Marner | Summary | Magician with the puck, fast as lightning, and completely not playing the type of game he has to in order to survive professional hockey. Things that he got away with in London didn’t fly here at NJEC and they will never work in the NHL. Marner doesn’t look to have filled out at all, another major red flag. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Oskar Steen | Summary | Steen worked his butt off on every shift, every practice, and never took a shift off. His hockey sense is OK, but the motor and compete levels are excellent. I think there is untapped offensive ability there as well. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Otto Somppi | Summary | Slid in the draft due, I think, to the Halifax fire sale. Somppi doesn’t have massive offensive upside but does everything very well. Size will be a knock on him, but he plays with some grit and knows he is a complementary player and plays in his known role. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Rasmus Asplund | Summary | No holes in his game, that is the key with Rasmus Asplund. He was a key player for Sweden in every game and while might not have been elite at anything, no holes are in his game either. Just a normal development curve and he could be an above average player who plays solidly on both sides of the ice. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Riley Tufte | Summary | Looked out of place on the ice. His time at the high school level and not in juniors really showed. His skating stride will need a lot of work. It will be interesting to see how he adapts this season. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Ryan Lindgren | Summary | The hallmarks of a Ryan Lindgren game: steady defensive play, hard in front of the net, smart passes, leading by example. That’s all game every game. Bonafide leader, surefire professional. Won’t wow you with his plays, but will never disappoint either. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Samuel Girard | Summary | Girard’s offensive ability is well known and was visible on many of his shifts at NJEC. Skating backwards and defending however is another matter all together. He doesn’t have good size and coupled with a so-so defensive zone game, there is a lot of work to be done to prepare Girard for the pro game. The good news is this is completely fixable and some solid coaching and time is all that is needed. He’ll have to use some of that vision to help him in the corners but again, all correctable. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Tage Thompson | Summary | Steal of the first round. Had six points at the NJEC and was making a massive impact on the game every single shift. Skating, size, hands, vision, a complete package. Time at UCONN will help him fill out physically, if he can do that, 1-2 years from NHL duty. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Thomas Novak | Summary | Every year is a better year for Tommy Novak. He has a great shot and elusive skating ability. His first step shakes a lot of defenders and helps him get the space he needs to get his shot off. Defensively he still has work to do, especially reading the defensive play. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Tyler Parsons | Summary | Athletically the best goalie at NJEC. His reflexes and sheer physical play is in a class by itself. His positioning and footwork however, are areas of concern. He is a “battle” goalie who fights to make the saves, and I have not seen that succeed as well in the professional ranks. The technical aspects of the game will need work for Parsons to continue his development. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Tyson Jost | Summary | Jost is the player that Mitch Marner wants to be. He isn’t as fast as Marner, but Jost is thick, quick with the puck, a laser, accurate shot and a release that fools goalies. Jost plays the right way and a very honest brand of hockey but with a very high level of skill. His skating is near elite and defensively he is part of the game as well. Teams could do much worse in a center and he’ll be in the NHL after a quick layover at North Dakota this fall. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Veini Vehvalainen | Summary | Alternating between unbeatable and completely lost, the consistency is again lacking for Vehvilainen. He has some good physical tools, and positionally he is okay, but either the mental preparation, puck tracking--something--is out of whack, or goes out of whack easily. He needs to solve it, he’s too good not to. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Vili Saarijarvi | Summary | Very mixed bag week. Would wonder around, poor positional play defensively, some plays inspired others a bit clunky. Had some good defensive plays deep but then some poor decisions in the center ice areas. Also noticed he doesn’t seem to like to pivot with a forward close to him, he’ll try to angle him into the boards instead of getting back and driving wide. Risky at times and it was a 50/50 gamble. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/2/2016 | 8/2/2016 | 10076 |
Chad Krys | Note | Krys having defensive positioning issues. On-going concern. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10075 |
Erik Foley | Note | Spoke to Foley and he immediately identified lateral movement as an area he’s working on. Highly in tune with his development, no stock answer. And he’s right, edges need help, as well as crossovers | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10075 |
Jack Ahcan | Note | Ahcan creative with the puck, deflection passes, quick dishes of the puck. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10075 |
Kailer Yamamoto | Note | Yamamoto is everything you want to see in a smaller player. Dynamic, fast, quick, and elusive. Slippery with the puck and without. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10075 |
Kailer Yamamoto | Note | Yamamoto looks fully integrated into NJEC. Was a bit timid in the first two days, now skating with confidence with Bellows/Keller | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10075 |
Luke Kunin | Note | Kunin crossovers could propel him better. Not getting the power coming out of the corners that he could, stride is fine. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10075 |
Luke Martin | Note | Martin has solid edge work, keeps his stick in the lanes when moving from position to position. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10075 |
Ryan Lindgren | Note | Lindgren able to surprise people with hard, accurate passes. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10075 |
Trent Frederic | Note | Frederic is playing with a lot more skill and creativity than when I saw him with the NTDP. Could have been a victim of being behind the big lines? | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10075 |
Tyler Parsons | Note | Parsons so quick. I notice it every time. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10075 |
Max Jones | Summary | Max Jones game is one built on speed and tenacity but the lack of hockey sense, in terms of the ability to play within the rules and on the line instead of blowing though it. He only took one penalty in two games but it was a double-minor that was reckless. He has a pro-ready frame and speed to spare. The translation of his offensive ability is likely limited, but could be a greasy area goal scorer who relies on his speed to beat players to positions. Physically ready, it is all about seasoning and mental maturity before he gets a crack at the big show. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - NJEC | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10074 |
Cal Foote | Note | Foote is the only 2017 left for Team Canada and it’s easy to see why. Against Marner’s bag of tricks stayed calm and well positioned, then a smart poke check to thwart Marner, takes the puck around the net, and bulls through the small winger and carries the puck up ice. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10073 |
Dante Fabbro | Note | Fabbro able to deal well with aggressive forecheck and soft passes up the ice | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10073 |
Dante Fabbro | Note | Fabbro might be the best defender in NJEC for Canada. Skating, positioning, everything teams saw at U18s is all there. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10073 |
Jack Ahcan | Note | Ahcan has a smart stick, it’s fast, in lanes, both hands on it and moving to the best position. Heady. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10073 |
Jake Bean | Note | Jake Bean’s quickness on his skates is impressive. Very fast, shows good creativity. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10073 |
Jeremy Roy | Note | Roy fighting for the puck, good body positioning. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10073 |
Kailer Yamamoto | Note | Yamamoto has a quick, hard release. For as light as he is, a lot is on the shot. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10073 |
Samuel Girard | Note | Girard supremely confident with the puck on his stick. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10073 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Chabot more impressive this year, and I really liked him last year. Good size, smart, reliable. Will be a key defender for any team he’s on next year | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10073 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Jost is very, very fast. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10073 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Jost’s hands in close are impressive. Able to elevate the puck quickly and with accuracy in tight on the goaltender. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10073 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Jost quickly able to get up to speed. Jumps into plays with good timing. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice | 8/1/2016 | 8/1/2016 | 10073 |
Aapeli Rasanen | Note | Rasanen still working hard despite the score. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Casey Mittelstadt | Note | Mittlestadt playing 2-on-1 with a dish to Bellows. Nice feed. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Casey Mittelstadt | Note | Mittlestadt fighting much more in this game, less play around the edges. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Clayton Keller | Note | Keller does things with the puck, both in passing and scoring that few others can. Elite hands and vision on the ice. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Clayton Keller | Note | Keller is just doing silly things with the puck. Too talented for this. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Tolvanen is really small, but has that shifty skating you want to see in the smaller players. Highly elusive and gets around the ice quick. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Eeli Tolvanen | Note | Tolvanen makes no mistake when a rebound pops out to him, one-times it home past Woll. Wow. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Erik Foley | Note | Foley can coast a little bit and needs to keep the jump in his step to be effective. He’s a better player when the feet are moving, More so than all the other players we say this about. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Juuso Valimaki | Note | Valimaki tracking payers well. Good stick in the lanes, active with it, as well. Head on a swivel. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |

Kailer Yamamoto | Note | Kailer Yamamoto drives the middle of the ice and Keller finds him. Great play by both, impressed with Yamamoto’s much better game. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Kasper Bjorkqvist | Note | Bjorkqvist looking much better in this game. More north/south, using his hands more, not going right at a player | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Kieffer Bellows | Note | Bellows driving the net with authority. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Kieffer Bellows | Note | Physical presence he brings is excellent. Mix of skill and grit | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Kieffer Bellows | Note | Another dumb penalty by Bellows, every single game I’ve ever seen he’s taken a penalty that makes me roll my eyes. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |

Veini Vehvalainen | Note | Vehvilainen’s lateral movement has improved over last year, but he still has the tendency to wander in the crease. Needs to focus, increase intensity almost. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10072 |
Chad Krys | Note | Not a fan of Krys’ decisions with the puck and the execution is not what you hope to see. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team Blue vs Team Sweden | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10071 |

Jeremy Bracco | Note | Bracco takes too long to shoot a good cross-ice pass. Should have been a one-timer | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team Blue vs Team Sweden | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10071 |
Joey Anderson | Note | Joey Anderson with a good chip on the boards to spring Kunin for an early chance | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - USA Team Blue vs Team Sweden | 7/31/2016 | 7/31/2016 | 10071 |

Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Vesalainen is one of the more talented Finns at NJEC. He has the size and ability but can stay or stray to the perimeter for spells. Will go to the center of the ice, but it’s not a given and an issue at times. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Finland Practice | 7/29/2016 | 7/29/2016 | 10063 |
Markus Ruusu | Note | Ruusu looking solid, tracking puck well and dealing with rebounds. | Zachary DeVine | NJEC 2016 - Finland Practice | 7/29/2016 | 7/29/2016 | 10063 |

A player to watch closely over the next twelve months. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Elias Pettersson | Note | Nice hit along the boards to rub the puck carrier off of the play | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Elias Pettersson | Note | Battling in front of the net | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Elias Pettersson | Note | Playing hard, picking up his team with skills and energy | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Elias Pettersson | Note | Nice, soft hands both receiving and dishing out passes. Calm with his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Elias Pettersson | Note | Races for a soft chipped-in puck, meets Salo at the puck, drives into him with his shoulder to get position and possession. Keeps his balance and takes the puck behind the net to start an offensive sequence. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Elias Pettersson | Note | Took a good angle to the puck and broke up a play in the neutral zone, as his speed matched Puljujarvi's | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Elias Pettersson | Note | Good example of his hockey sense: down low on the powerplay and the pass from the half-boards missed him by four feet, so he spun and caught the puck off the end boards, swiveled around the net, and placed a backhand pass to the slot for a one-time chance that was saved. Heady play with skill. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Elias Pettersson | Summary | High work rate player with skills to match. He has a tall frame that will fill out over the next couple of years, but he already brings a physical component to the ice and is willing to make a smart hit, but more importantly, he often goes straight to the net, with or without the puck. He is a player who helps energize his team, he is an above average skater with deceptive speed. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Erik Brannstrom | Note | Quick, alert, constantly working to get position | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Erik Brannstrom | Note | Reads the play well, doesn't hesitate when he gets the puck. He's already got his next play mapped out. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Erik Brannstrom | Note | Just made another crisp, clean one-touch pass. His anticipation is excellent | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Erik Brannstrom | Note | Nice, long pass through the middle, right on the tape, through traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Erik Brannstrom | Note | Not afraid to make a hard, cross-ice diagonal pass, and I haven't seen him make a bad pass yet. Great accuracy and weight on his passes. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Erik Brannstrom | Note | A great play on Puljujarvi as the big Finn was entering the zone: kept excellent gap control, poked the puck off of Puljujarvi's stick, and then got up into the Finn's chest to completely break up the attack | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Erik Brannstrom | Note | Finally misfired on a pass, but then he sped back to his own end to recover the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Erik Brannstrom | Note | A terrific pass from behind his own net to a streaking forward at the opposite blueline. In stride, on the tape. Wow! | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Erik Brannstrom | Note | Not an ounce of lazy in his play. His whole game is quick, amped and constant | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Erik Brannstrom | Summary | Highly intelligent, highly skilled defender who anticipates the play better than most players on the ice. Quick on his feet forward and backwards. His passing is superb, including long headman passes and cross-ice, one-touch passes on the tape with the perfect weight to make them easy to receive. Never stops moving, and his ability to map out the play in front of him means that he is always aware of what his next move will be. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Janne Kuokkanen | Note | Great dangle to get to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Janne Kuokkanen | Summary | Smart, determined player who works hard all over the ice. Created two goals in the game by driving into the offensive zone and making smart plays, one by driving the net, the other by swiveling around to find Puljujarvi. Untapped potential, I think, for a top-six, intelligent player. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Tormenting the penalty killers with possession skills | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Working the left circle on the powerplay. So poised with the puck, patient, waiting for the right play to open up and then executing with precision. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | When Puljujarvi does not have the puck, he is constantly cruising the zone like a predatory animal, waiting for an opening to make an attack. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Hard wrister from the top of the circle, rips it without warning. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Smart, effective play that started in his own end, nice transition pass to Kuokkanen, then hits another gear for a return pass and a partial breakaway, then shows the hands to break down the goalie and snap one five hole. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Fires a long wrist shot, then follows in and one-times his own rebound off the post. Wow! | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Icing his hand after every shift | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Finishes a hat trick with craft and quick hands. Nasty stuff. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Summary | A complete package of a player, with his constant engagement of the game, focus, and the ability to execute in all facets of the game. Always reading the play in front of him in all three zones. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Good acceleration from a standstill. Quick feet. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Great power move to split two defenders with speed and stickhandling, then drives the net for a dangerous backhand shot. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Powerplay time on the top unit, setting up behind the net | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Like most of the Finn forwards, he is always in motion, and his edgework is solid when not at full stride | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Note | Long legs and solid technique generate a lot of power in his skating, which will only improve over the next 12 months. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Kristian Vesalainen | Summary | Another big Finnish forward with good speed, edgework, and hands kills. Uses his speed effectively to change gears and turn defensemen. Constantly on the move, and his edgework allows for subtle speed and directional adjustments when gliding. Smart and willing to do the hard work in the corners. His passes are accurate and he is a capable puck handler. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Lias Andersson | Note | Well-disguised wrist shot beats the Finn goalie far side, low post. Great release on the shot, well-timed to use the defender for a screen and totally fooled the netminder. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Lias Andersson | Note | Nice transition play, carries the puck into the offensive zone, toe drags around a defender and puts a decent wrist shot on net | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Robin Salo | Note | Got turned around in his own end, but recovered quickly to regain position. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Tim Wahlgren | Note | Good job getting his stick in the passing lanes while on the forecheck | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Tim Wahlgren | Note | Pins his man against the corner boards, and when the puck gets worked free, goes straight to the front of the net. Solid PP work and positioning. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Tim Wahlgren | Note | Putting in a lot of hard work in front of the net on the powerplay. Smart stick play to help however he can. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Tim Wahlgren | Note | Short strides, needs to improve his push and extensions in straight-line skating, but that will come. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Tim Wahlgren | Summary | There is a lot to like in Wahlgren's all-around game, but there may not be a lot of upside potential. Smart, effective, but needs to improve on the solid foundation of his skating. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Finland (U18s 2016) | 5/4/2016 | 5/15/2016 | 10061 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Steps up to break up a play at his own blueline, then shows goods composure with the puck waiting for a lane to open | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Strips Garland, shows excellent gap control and manages to neutralize Garland's speed in this particular instance | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Carrier doesn't realize PK is ending, misses an opportunity to spring Alex Dostie fresh out of the box. Instead, Carrier fires the puck down the ice for an icing. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Carrier can't connect on a stretch pass, leads to an icing. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Caught in deep on a pinch, then can't catch his man who beats him to the net. Bailed out by his goalie. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Effectively comes out high in the slot to disrupt a cycle. Later on in the shift, dumps the puck in the offensive zone when he could have carried it in. Abramov chases, but can't establish possession. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Carrier draws a penalty with some shifty stickhandling while essentially standing still in the neutral zone. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Is not on the ice for the PP to start the period. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Stands up a Moncton player driving to the net. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Puts a lead pass well behind Trenin, who reaches back for it. By the time he turns up ice, he is belted by the Moncton defenseman. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Bad turnover on a cross-ice pass in his own zone. Leads to a good chance for Moncton. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Stuck in deep again, can't catch up on the back check. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Staples big Zack MacEwan to the boards with a solid hip check. Knocks over the much bigger man. Carrier's physicality has been a surprise. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Lead pass to a forward is waist high and can't be controlled. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Carrier not on the ice after a late time out with the goalie pulled. Comes on with about 30 seconds left, and Moncton promptly scores an empty netter. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Good feet that move all the time, Fluid is the word. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Note | Plays a good positional game in his own end, and engages offensively without putting his team at risk. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Alexandre Carrier | Summary | A two-way defender who needs more experience to hone his skills into a professional-grade player. Jumps into the offensive attack and is effective in the offensive zone, and plays well in his own end. Just needs to polish his game, and a year or two at the AHL level should do just that. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Austin Kosack | Note | Good poise in his own end. Holds puck below circles, dodges a defender, passes to an open man for a controlled breakout. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Cameron Askew | Note | Chips puck in deep when he had the opportunity to carry it over the blue line with possession. No one on Moncton can retrieve it, and Gatineau soon exits the zone cleanly. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Cameron Askew | Note | Floating at offensive line on the PP while his teammates go retrieve the puck. Does not provide an effective target for a head man pass. Pass is attempted anyway, does not connect, and icing is called against Moncton. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Cody Donaghey | Note | A heady play on the PK. Faceoff in the offensive zone is won back to Donaghey. Instead of dumping it in, he immediately began skating backwards to his own blueline. Only then does he dump the puck back to the Gatineau zone. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | Seems deterred by physicality of the game early on. Backchecking has been lazy the first few shifts. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | Stripped by Carrier | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | Another half-hearted back check. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | Takes another hard hit. Later in the same shift, seems to shy away from contact by getting rid of the puck quicker than usual. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | Takes an elbow to the back of the head. Gatineau really keying in on him physically. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | His game is built on his speed. He easily created distance between himself and opposing forwards trying to track him down. Certainly not afraid to try to be creative in one-on-two or one-on-three situations, but hasn’t been able to break through tonight. Gatineau's early physical play on him pays off throughout the game. It is slightly concerning that he took a few solid hits. Might not have the escapability that small players need to thrive playing in the NHL. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | Constantly calling for the puck. Not much of a distributor of the puck and his instinct seems to be to shoot first. Hard to believe he had 89 assists in the regular season. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | Rarely ventures below the hashmarks in his own end, but does a very good job covering his points. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | Garland is one on three and tries to cut to the middle, but he is not successful. Have to respect his creativity, even though it didn't get him very far on this night. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | Goes up and down the bench during a time out trying to pump up his teammates. He's doubled over at the end of the bench afterwards. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | So quick and elusive with the puck. Very active. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | Nonchalant entering the zone and the defender just took the puck away from him | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | In the defensive zone, gave a token reach for a puck. Looked like he was more interested in creating a breakaway than disrupting the opposing attack, and this allowed the puck carrier to step into the slot for a scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | Not having a good period, at all. Whiffed on an attempt to shoot a moving puck back into the offensive zone instead of making a better, safer play. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | That was a bit more of what is expected: a hard-working shift with creativity and vision in the offensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Note | Garland is such a masterful pest. Every time I watch him, he has the opponents chopping, slashing, elbowing him all over the ice. He drives his opponents crazy. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Conor Garland | Summary | Not Garland's best game, even though he did have moments in which he sparkled. At times, the Gatineau frustration hits seemed to get to him a bit, and at other times he seemed energized by them. Ultra-quick with the puck, but in this game he looked more interested in creating chances than in winning the game. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Kelly Klima | Note | Freezes and walks defenseman in space high in the slot. Exhibits a solid release, but misses high and wide on this occasion. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Kevin Klima | Note | Klima with a high-end burst of speed picking the puck up at his own blueline. He fakes cutting to the inside of the ice and then goes wide, completely fooling the defenseman. He is able to freeze Gatineau's goalie on his left post before faking as if he's going to cut behind the net. However, he makes a pass at a seemingly impossible angle across the crease on his backhand before circling behind the net. The pass is one-timed to Wiederer, who shows good patience himself in putting the puck past the sprawled Gatineau tender. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Kevin Klima | Note | Off a Gatineau faceoff win, Klima bursts past his man to collect the puck before it reaches the Gatineau D. Creates a partial break, but loses his footing. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Manuel Wiederer | Note | Shows signs of being a responsible defensive winger. Sticks around on the breakout to give his defenseman a good passing option, then alertly chips the puck out past pinching d-man from Gatineau. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Manuel Wiederer | Note | The beneficiary of Kevin Klima's excellent poise with the puck. However, Wiederer showed good patience himself. Goalie was down and out, but Wiederer still dragged the puck for a second in order to ensure he had the best possible shooting angle. Made no mistake finding the empty net. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Manuel Wiederer | Note | Gets the first goal of the game into an open net with the Gatineau goalie sprawled on the ice. Nice and calm, waiting for the puck to settle and the angle to open up for a clean shot. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vincent Milot-Ouellet | Note | Skating is too upright, so he's not getting power throughout the entire stride. He has to work on that. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vincent Milot-Ouellet | Note | First shift I've noticed him in a while, shows nice agility then goes to the box for tripping. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Takes a solid hit from behind in the offensive zone, but absorbs it well and carries on play | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Very impressive pass on the PP. Given a bad pass in his skates, manages to find the puck and pass it to a teammate down low between his legs. Leads to a great scoring chance that wasn't converted. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Has a wide open shot from the slot, misses wide. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | An elite two way shift from Abramov. Blocks a shot on a 3-on-2 rush, then is down low helping out his defenseman on both sides of the ice. Causes a turnover down low, which springs Gatineau for a 2-on-2. Somehow with energy left, Abramov makes it a 3-on-2 by using a quick burst, impressive considering the hard work he put in earlier in the shift. Solid net drive on the odd man rush. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Involved physically after the whistle. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Puck thrown to his side on the PP, where he showed good hustle to retrieve the puck against two Moncton penalty killers. Puck jumped on him for the rest of the PP, though. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Moncton wins the draw back, but Abramov gets to the puck first from right wing. Establishes possession in the offensive zone by outmuscling Conor Garland for the puck. Goal stems from this shift. He gets a secondary assist for his effort. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Can't get the puck out on the wall in the defensive zone. Leads to more zone time for Moncton. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Tried to do a bit too much in traffic in the slot. Passed on a shot to toe drag into more traffic, where he was eventually stripped of the puck. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Not the fastest player on the ice, but a very smooth skating stride. Will improve with added strength. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Creates a chance for himself walking off the right wing wall. Shot is right in the goalie's crest, through. He is tripped as he goes to the net, drawing a penalty. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Good burst of speed creates a 2-on-1 chance for Gatineau. Shot deflected into the netting. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Abramov trying to gain entry to the zone, but Moncton stacks up defenders on the blueline. Instead of dumping it in, he circles back. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | On the powerplay left circle, vision and hands allows him to make a pass back between his legs that could have ultimately earned him a beauty assist if not for a timely save. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Good patience to let the defender slide himself out of position, then pulled his hands in closer to his body to create a better angle on the goaltender, and his snapped wrist shot went off the blocker. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Great puck handling to get the shot through an obstacle course of sticks, then gets away a nasty wrist shot. Saved. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Vitalii Abramov | Summary | Abramov plays with a calm simplicity that underlines his on-ice awareness. Not the fastest straight-line skater, but he shows above-average balance and agility and ends up being more quick than fast. Does not look small when he plays, and he seems to get better with every game. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yakov Trenin | Note | Engaged physically after the whistle | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yakov Trenin | Note | Gets off a good low shot in the slot. Nice left pad save by the Moncton goaltender. It was nearly by him by the time he was able to kick out the pad. Lost the faceoff to start the shift. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yakov Trenin | Note | Trenin slows down at the offensive blueline while carrying the puck, causing Carrier to go in offside. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yakov Trenin | Note | Has an odd posture while skating. Not a fluid stride, and his first few steps are quite slow. Can see skating being an issue at the next level. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yakov Trenin | Note | With a Gatineau PP, Moncton wins a draw in the neutral zone and the Dman fires the puck high down the zone. Trenin foolishly swings at the puck above his head and makes contact, resulting in a faceoff in Gatineau's end. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yakov Trenin | Note | Hit hard in the open ice after receiving a suicide pass from Carrier. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yakov Trenin | Note | Good edges, keeps good pace while not using his stride. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yakov Trenin | Note | Nice, deft stick lift on the backcheck to break up an attack | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yakov Trenin | Note | Responsible on defense, but saw an opportunity and jumped up for a good power-forward chance creation that saw the puck go just inched wide of the post. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yakov Trenin | Note | I like his on-ice presence | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yakov Trenin | Note | Took a big hit as he was pulling a suicide pass from his skates. Goes to the locker room. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yakov Trenin | Summary | A big, smart player who patrols the ice like a field marshal, directing the attack and putting in the work to get the job done successfully. Needs to work on his skating, especially straight ahead, but his mechanics are not at all bad. He will get faster, and his edgework is already above average. | Brian Fogarty | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yan Pavel Laplante | Note | Nice toe drag, but the shot is blocked up and into the netting. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Yan Pavel Laplante | Note | Solid backcheck filling in for Carrier who was once again venturing down low | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Zachary Malatesta | Note | Fantastic stretch pass from blueline to blueline leads to a partial break | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Zack MacEwan | Note | Very nice individual effort to create space for a drive to the net. Stopped by the Gatineau goalie. MacEwan is a big body - somehow feels like he's bigger than 6'3", which is what he is listed as. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Zack MacEwan | Note | Skates with his arms very low and stuck to his side. Arms barely move, which creates a stunted stride. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Zack MacEwan | Note | Picks up a bad pass in his feet and finds a teammate in a dangerous area. | Brent Craswell | Moncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10060 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Summary | Scored the double-overtime game winning goal while falling to the ice. I have not been as impressed with him in this series as I was in previous viewings. He is skating fine after the knee injury but not playing much in the high traffic areas. Karpat has put Aho on a separate line and his cerebral play is missed by Puljujarvi. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Tappara (Liiga) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10059 |
Patrik Laine | Summary | Laine’s game is elevated in the post season. His defensive game has been adequate and is much more aware of his responsibilities with more on the line. His two goals were sniper shots, one a water bottle knocker short side and the second beating the goalie glove side. Has a great release and generates power in a very small space. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Tappara (Liiga) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10059 |
Sebastian Aho | Summary | Tappara was extremely physical against Aho in this game, greatly limiting his effectiveness. His vision and hockey IQ is excellent, but neither matter as much when you are pinned along the boards or being held. A game like this is a good example of what Aho will need to overcome to be successful in North America with a more physical game and smaller ice surface. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Tappara (Liiga) | 4/8/2016 | 4/8/2016 | 10059 |
Adrian Kempe | Summary | Adrian Kempe was invisible yet again. He is a young player in the AHL but one of his reputation shouldn’t have one good viewing in five. Ontario is a very good team and he just isn’t able to do much of note. Consistency is an issue. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/6/2016 | 4/6/2016 | 10058 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Poirier just flamingoed on a shot block. I hate that. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/6/2016 | 4/6/2016 | 10058 |
Mark Jankowski | Note | Jankowski with a good inside out move and fires a shot right into Budaj, but nice hands on that play. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/6/2016 | 4/6/2016 | 10058 |
Nick Schneider | Note | Schneider tracks the puck well in traffic overall | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/6/2016 | 4/6/2016 | 10058 |
Nick Schneider | Note | Schneider’s stick handling skills are below average. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/6/2016 | 4/6/2016 | 10058 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington with a great read to intercept the exit pass and transition back to the offensive zone quickly. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/6/2016 | 4/6/2016 | 10058 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington keeps body position on the 6’7 Auger and forces him outside. Nice play! | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/6/2016 | 4/6/2016 | 10058 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington catches up to Kempe, closing an 8 foot gap through the neutral zone. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/6/2016 | 4/6/2016 | 10058 |
Adrian Kempe | Summary | Kempe has concerns around consistency and seeing him live multiple times in the past month has confirmed that. When he is moving his feet and staying in his lane, he impacts a game. When he coasts around, he is not. He coasted a ton and seemed to move only east/west, resulting in a marginal viewing. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Adrian Kempe | Note | Kempe on the point on the PP1 unit | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Adrian Kempe | Note | Kempe ineffective tonight, was running around trying to play overly physical and it isn’t his game. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Devin Shore | Note | Devin Shore with a great pass to a breaking Wotherspoon. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Mark Jankowski | Note | Jankowski with a solid first shift. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Mark Jankowski | Note | Good read by Jankowski to center the puck to the streaking winger for a dangerous chance. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Mark Jankowski | Note | Jankowski lifts the Reign defender's stick, gets the puck on net. Goal ultimately waived off, but... | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Mark Jankowski | Summary | The first professional game of the widely panned first-round pick. Jankowski played a steady game and knew his positional responsibilities well even in his first game with the Heat. He did not look out of place but was surprised a few times how quickly he ran out of time and space. I don’t think he has high-end talent, but certainly has NHL potential, likely in a middle-six roll. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Nick Schneider | Note | Schneider a bit overactive in the crease. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Nick Schneider | Note | Schneider has a big, wide V when in the butterfly. Long legs, good pad work so far | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Nick Schneider | Summary | Schneider has played well in his time with the Heat and provided some stability in the crease. He has good size and plays the position well. He keeps his shoulders back and has long legs to cover the net well in the butterfly position. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington sees it all on the PP, directing puck movement even when he is on the backside point. Decisions with the puck are instant | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington skating is exceptional. Uses the size he does have smartly. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington activates from the point and just misses with a wicked wrist shot. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington all over the ice, just dangerous in many situations and has the skating to recover. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Oliver Kylington | Summary | First time I have seen Kylington since his should injury and was skating very well. Amazing to think he is only 18 years of age and playing impactful minutes at the AHL level. His skating covers a lot of mistakes, but the offensive skill is excellent. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs Stockton (AHL) | 4/1/2016 | 4/1/2016 | 10057 |
Alex Schoenborn | Note | Doesn’t give much sense of offensive upside | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Alex Schoenborn | Note | Schoenborn obliterates Laurencell looking for the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Alex Schoenborn | Note | Schoenborn again loses Ralph and it leads to a goal. I’m not sure what he is bringing to the table in this series. Other viewings have not been of note either. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Brandon Ralph | Note | Ralph has a good shot. Quick and varied release points | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Brandon Ralph | Note | Ralph with another goal, just driving the net and slapping in another rebound. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Brycen Martin | Note | Good read by Martin to intercept the puck and turn a defensive stop to an offensive zone faceoff. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Caleb Jones | Note | Jones either does too little to far too much. Needs to find some middle ground in his game. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Caleb Jones | Note | Jones has very good acceleration and balance on his skates | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Caleb Jones | Summary | Jones’ series could only be viewed as a disappointment. He was largely quiet for long stretches of the game and had trouble carrying the puck against the Everett trap. When he was noticeable, he was trying to do everything by himself and force plays. Liked his game better earlier in the year. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Connor Dewar fights off two Winterhawks and beats Hill with a laser. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar out on a PK in the last 30 seconds to protect the lead and win the series. Good stuff | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Connor Dewar | Summary | The 2017 eligible prospect played second line minutes for Everett and his work off the puck was excellent for a 16-year-old. Positionally sound, motor and compete level was suburb bordering on elite. Scored a goal in Game 4 with an impressive shot, one that makes you wonder if he should have shot more in the series/season. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Kevin Davis | Note | Davis needs to stay on his skates. Predictable slide to the ice and Portland is waiting for it. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Juulsen goes down on the ice every time there is a possible centering pass from the corner. Not a fan of this. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov with a clear lane to the net, elects to pass. Needs to take that and be sure of his skills | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Rihards Bukarts | Note | So much to like in Bukarts game. Grit a bit of nasty, good wheels and good hockey sense. Can’t believe he isn’t signed. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Rihards Bukarts | Note | Bukarts on the hard, solid back check to eliminate his man. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Rihards Bukarts | Summary | Bukarts was the most consistent player on a wildly inconsistent team, both in this series and during the year. Small at 5’9 but highly elusive and quick on his skates with solid top end speed. Hands and confidence with the puck are also very good. He didn’t post triple digits as an overager, but was highly effective and is deserving of a contract to see what type of small player he could be but he has a full arsenal of skills and a solid dose of grit as well. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Rodrigo Abols | Summary | Passed over in the 2015 draft, Abols has made some solid strides this year. Has a nasty side of his game to go with good skating and a nose for the net. Edges could use work, but decent overall speed. Plays well in the corners and uses size to his advantage. Defensively, his positioning is good, but not good with his stick and can get caught flat footed. Still an interesting prospect that will take time to develop, but a mixture of skills that NHL teams will want. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Rodrigo Abols | Note | Abols has a tendency to just wave at a puck carrier, would like to see him be heavier with the stick and use his reach. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Yan Khomenko | Note | Khomenko generates a good deal of power in his strides. Covers ice. Technical skating needs some help. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Yan Khomenko | Note | Good job protecting the puck the majority of the time, but then over-handles. Doesn’t use teammates as effectively as he could, which would aid team possession. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/30/2016 | 3/30/2016 | 10056 |
Alex Schoenborn | Note | Seems more interested in the rough stuff than the play. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Alex Schoenborn | Note | Loses Leedahl who gets a goal. Bad defense. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Alex Schoenborn | Note | Schoenborn taps in the fantastic pass from Bukarts. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Brendan De Jong | Note | De Jong defensively isn’t there. Bad body positioning, stick off the ice. Just absent defensively. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Brendan De Jong | Summary | De Jong has solid skating ability, but not much else. Needs lots of physical development, defensive game is a glaring weakness and did not exhibit the offensive vision or ability to overlook defensive mistakes. Might be a very long term project. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Brian King | Note | King lays a nice open ice hit, eliminating the puck carrier. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Brycen Martin | Note | Brycen Martin gets one through Hill’s wickets. Smart shot that got through: low and heavy. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Caleb Jones | Note | Jones has been a non-factor in the first | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Caleb Jones | Note | Jones completely flat footed on the Leedahl goal. It’s been a terrible three viewings of him. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Caleb Jones | Note | Jones wakes up, but again not using his teammates. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Kevin Davis | Note | Davis looking solid early. Tight gaps and controlling the play along the boards. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Kevin Davis | Note | Davis twice has taken the puck from the deep defensive zone up the ice with poise and confidence. Did not see that earlier in the series. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Juulsen is a very good skater. Changes directions suddenly. Shifty player. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Juulsen with two bad miscues halfway through the first period needs to calm down and play within himself. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov rips one short side on Hill, dish form Fontayne after the puck flutters to the slot and Bajkov gets there first | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov off the far pipe and then has the puck bounce over his stick on a rebound. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Remi Laurencelle | Note | Laurencelle to Leedahl with a streaking deflection past Hill | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Remi Laurencelle | Note | Laurencelle again. Standyk with a slick little pass to get the puck through the crease to Remi | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Rihards Bukarts | Note | Bukarts is very good skater, elusive and shifty. Good on his edges. Gets to where he needs to be | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Rihards Bukarts | Note | Bukarts has good vision. Aware of what is going on in the game and on the ice | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Rihards Bukarts | Note | Bukarts has a dangerous array of shots to select from. Good release from multiple angles, not afraid of shooting, changes looks at the goaltender often. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Rodrigo Abols | Note | Abols the only Winterhawk playing smart early. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Rodrigo Abols | Note | Abols compete level is the best on his squad tonight, as it has been throughout the series | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Rodrigo Abols | Note | Abols shot goes wide, but Glass throws the puck to the crease and it bounces around and in. Lucky goal. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Ryan Hughes | Note | Dangerous hit, puts his team on the PK. Not a smart play. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/29/2016 | 3/29/2016 | 10055 |
Brandon Ralph | Note | Big Brandon Ralph with a crashing goal. Not the most talented, but a big, hard-working body | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Brendan De Jong | Note | De Jong doesn’t have his stick tying up Millar stick. Defensive positioning is weak, especially for his size. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Brian King | Note | King tidy’s up on a puck that was going through Petit. Saved a goal with a solid defensive read and defenseman dealing with attacking forwards. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Brycen Martin | Note | Brycen Martin just makes good plays and reads with the puck. Solid, rock solid player. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar has his motor running a bit too high. Needs to play within himself a bit more. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar is getting worked over by any Winterhawk that can get to him. Still working hard. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar’s gritty game gets under the Portland player's skin, leads to a good bit of extra stuff and an Everett powerplay. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Conor MacEachern | Note | MacEachren’s skating needs a good deal of work. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov has a shorthanded breakaway but one move too many and runs out of space. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov sees it, just has a little bit of trouble with the finesse. Untapped offense. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Rodrigo Abols | Note | Abols plays a 2-on-1 perfectly, Petit somehow makes a save. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Ryan Hughes | Note | Ryan Hughes with a smart defensive play to save a goal. Good read and position | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Tanner Glass | Note | Tanner Glass with an excellent pass that Petit saves and is almost tapped in. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/26/2016 | 3/26/2016 | 10054 |
Alex Schoenborn | Note | Schoenborn playing hard, but not smart. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Alex Schoenborn | Summary | Schoenborn very north/south player. Gets tunnel vision to make a hit or stir something up, doesn't look to be worried about offense and Portland needed him to. Offense was hard to come by and his decisions with the puck were average. Not a natural goal scorer, manufacturer of offense with tenacity and hard work | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Brandon Ralph | Note | Ralph cuts the middle of the ice and rips one past Hill. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Brandon Ralph | Note | Ralph is a big thick kid but comes off his skates easily on two mediocre hits by smaller players. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Brandon Ralph | Summary | Was a very average player except for the fact that he scored 3 goals in 4 games after only 5 all season. Big body, average skating, Okay physical game but when he got space, exhibited a good shot with quick release. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Brendan De Jong | Note | DeJong desperately needs to get meat on his frame. Good height. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Brendan De Jong | Note | DeJong’s fluid skating. Good edges and good movement | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Brian King | Note | King is seeing the play he needs to make, having some tough puck luck. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Brycen Martin | Note | Brycen Martin making smart, solid plays with the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Brycen Martin | Note | Brycen Martin using his body well, solid puck handling skills and waits for the outlet pass to develop. Playing well tonight. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Brycen Martin | Note | Martin with a steady play, took the puck behind the net, shielding the puck from the defender, carries and makes a smart hard pass. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Brycen Martin | Summary | Martin played a great series. Multiple times he made a hard play with the Portland forechecker draped on him. Took care of the puck, and carried it up the ice. Only made one or two real mistakes with the puck while playing heavy minutes. Skating is solid and defensively was the best Silvertip over the four game sweep. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Caleb Jones | Note | Jones takes the puck himself and crashes the net, dangerous chance. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Caleb Jones | Note | Jones trying to do too much on his own, not using teammates | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar with a great chance. His work in the dirty areas almost got him a greasy goal. Has a good nose for the net. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar with a tenacious shift. Hitting early and moving his feet. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Connor Dewar | Summary | High-motor guy that plays much bigger than his 5’10 listing would suggest. Not afraid of larger players in the corner and has a bit of sand and agitator to his game. Defensively solid for such a young player. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Dawson Leedahl | Note | Leedahl bats in the puck while getting knocked to this ice. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Dawson Leedahl | Note | Leedahl walks out from the corner and roofs it on Hill. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Mario Petit | Note | Petit’s rebound control is loose early. Looks nervous, feet moving too much | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Noah Juulsen | Summary | Would like to see Juulsen activate a bit more in this game. Playing more conservative than previous viewings. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Noah Juulsen | Summary | Juulsen was more quiet than I was expecting. Played a very defensively sound yet conservative game and was a calming influence on the game. Some of his defensive coverage was spotty at times, especially on the penalty kill, but still has the skill and smarts to succeed at the next level. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov with a big hit on 22, turns into a shorthanded chance. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | There is skill in Bajkov’s game and it shows in flashes. One wonders if the trap is clouding his offensive skills. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Patrick Bajkov | Summary | Bajkov displaying good vision. Has read a number of plays and positioned himself well to aid the attack. Played on the second line with fellow winger Dewar and the two were energy buzzsaws for Everett. Smart, effective play throughout the series, scoring a skillful goal and adding two assists. Played the point on the PP1 unit as well. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Skyler McKenzie | Note | Skyler McKenzie out on the PK, quick movements, active stick | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Yan Khomenko | Note | Khomenko choppy skating, generates good power but looks out of control all the time. | Zachary DeVine | Portland vs Everett (OHL) | 3/25/2016 | 3/25/2016 | 10053 |
Christoph Bertschy | Note | Bertschy gets a step on Stolley and goes backhand. Very quick first steps created the separation and puck hound skills as well. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Christoph Bertschy | Note | Bertschy with a breakaway goal. Dell stops it with the blocker but it’s so hard it bounces back at Bertschy and ricochets back into the net. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Christoph Bertschy | Note | Bertschy has had some extra curricular stuff going on with the lumber. Not dirty, got a bit of agitator in him it seems. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Christoph Bertschy | Note | Bertschy not afraid of the rough stuff. Takes Ryan hard to the boards, then nearly elbows Goldobin in the head coming back. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Christoph Bertschy | Summary | Quickness is a hallmark in Bertschy’s game and it was on display in Stockton and again in San Jose. Skating is high-end and solid puck possession skills and confidence with the puck on his stick. If Bertschy had more size, there would be much more fanfare. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Dylan Labbe | Summary | Labbe isn’t using his teammates in either game of his I have seen. Converted defenseman and he holds the puck too long. Not much to like overall. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Jeremy Morin | Note | Morin could be more patient with his shot, it’s good, but he launches it before traffic can develop at times. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Jeremy Morin | Note | Jeremey Morin with the game-winning goal on the powerplay. Hard shot we know he has, and luckily all he had to do was punch it home. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Mueller is playing rushed again early. His best games are when he is more confident holding the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin touch going early and often, few nice passes to get solid chances | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin’s positioning is much improved. Not curling away from the crease or offensive plays, staying open for the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin sticks with the play and kicks down the puck to get a chance. Earlier this year he would have peeled off and nothing would have come of it. Instead its an offensive draw. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Summary | The small, professional details are starting to appear in Goldobin’s game and that is a credit to Roy Sommer’s coaching. The offensive skill is not doubted, but now that the defense and all-around attention to detail is present, Goldobin has a good chance as a prospect. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Emanuelsson playing well tonight. Crisper passing and work with the puck than earlier this week. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Emanuelsson ties up the stick of a driving Downing, saves a goal. Good back check. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Emanuelsson gets after the Wild puck carrier and allows Lerg to strip the puck and go in on the Wild goalie | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Summary | One of Emanuelsson’s better games in some time. He has the skillset that could lead him to a third line role in the NHL but for weeks at a time some component of his game will trail off and come back when something else goes away. Consistency in skills is needed, his work ethic is always on display. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/19/2016 | 3/19/2016 | 10052 |
Christian Folin | Note | Folin with a pair of good zone exit passes early. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Christian Folin | Note | Folin’s decisions seem to just take an extra split second. Might just be a confidence thing, his decisions have been sound and usually the safe play. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Christian Folin | Summary | Confidence with the puck is needed. His passes and moves up the ice need to come quicker, his decisions were not happening at AHL speeds in this game. Decent skater for a man his size and puck handling skills as well. But the mental side will need work. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Christoph Bertschy | Note | Bertschy with a few feisty board battles in the 1st period. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Christoph Bertschy | Note | Bertschy steals the puck from Mason Raymond at blueline, gets the edge on him, drives the net, forces a penalty to take him down. Great play. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Christoph Bertschy | Note | Bertschy is quick on his edges and has explosive first steps. Gets up to speed in the blink of an eye | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Christoph Bertschy | Note | Bertschy with a solid hit on Klimchuk, not afraid of physical play, got a whack on Morgan for good measure as well. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Christoph Bertschy | Note | Bertschy can skate. Wow. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Christoph Bertschy | Summary | Bertschy inserted himself in the game notes with a feisty, fast-skating game. He is not a big player, but mixes it up physically and a good dose of sand in his game, always seeming to get a few whacks in after the whistle. Skating is excellent in all facets. Quick acceleration, lateral movement, stops on a dime, good top speed. Player to watch. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Derek Grant | Note | Derek Grant with another goal. Just plays well, dangerous all around. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Devin Shore | Note | Shore with a solid powerplay goal. Poirier was the partner on a skilled, high-speed attack. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Emile Poirier with speed through the neutral zone, great give and go with Devin Shore | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Poirier’s speed draws a penalty. Excellent top end speed and above average acceleration. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Poirier with a number of good passes and reads in the first period. Really going tonight. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Emile Poirier | Summary | Again, the north/south play of Poirier is helping is overall game. Many of the complaints I had about his game early in the year are being smoothed out. Shift-to-shift play is much more consistent as well. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Grayson Downing | Note | Downing with a powerplay goal. Folin with assist | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Grayson Downing | Note | Downing could benefit from more urgency in his game, especially his skating and getting places. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Grayson Downing | Note | Downing needs to move his feet. Some shifts played at only about 80% | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Grayson Downing | Summary | When he was engaged in the play, Downing was a key contributor for the Wild. Too often I found him still or gliding and not doing much to support the play. He appears to allow the game to dictate what he does and not impose his will on the game itself. Poor overall compete level and that is a red flag for me. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Hunter Shinkaruk | Note | Shinkaruk with a smart pass to Grant for the powerplay goal. Pass through the crease is risky but it worked. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Kenney Morrison | Note | Kenney Morrison has a well-rounded skill set, but I’d like to see quicker decisions. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Stockton (AHL) | 3/18/2016 | 3/18/2016 | 10051 |
Adrian Kempe | Note | Kempe already looking much better than Sunday’s game. Contesting pucks early, work ethic back. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Adrian Kempe | Note | Kempe’s skating a good, but could get more power out of his stride. Tweak item for adjustment and improvement, not at all a big issue. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Adrian Kempe | Note | Kempe with smart defensive zone positioning on the left wing. Reading the play well and keeping his stick down and active. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Adrian Kempe | Note | Kempe with a great powerplay goal, blasting the one-timer short side from the off wing. Got all of that, what a shot. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Adrian Kempe | Summary | High skill and excellent skater with a shot that is excellent and well placed. Played better defensively than many young AHLers. In two games in three days he did show some consistency issues but one must remember this is a 19 year old in the AHL playing against men and seasoned professional hockey players. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Dylan DeMelo | Note | DeMelo looking much better early. Skating better and seems more comfortable with the puck on his stick. Had bad puck luck last game. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Dylan DeMelo | Note | DeMelo with a solid hip check, got across quickly and ended the attack. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Dylan DeMelo | Note | Twice DeMelo’s tight gap control turned a Reign player back into their own zone at their defensive blue line. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Dylan DeMelo | Note | DeMelo with a smart pinch and pass across the crease to Bryan Lerg for the game-tying goal. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Dylan DeMelo | Note | Massively better than the first game in the series, this was the NHL DeMelo we saw for the Sharks. His time in the NHL has helped his game and he looks more confident. Game looks slower for him. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Julius Bergman | Note | Bergman needs to have fewer misfires from the point. More than any other defender, in my opinion. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Mueller with a good read to intercept the puck, but lofts in cross corner when pressured. Needs to create. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Mueller getting feisty with a Reign player for an extra whack at Rumpel. Always love a bit of sand coming from Mueller. I think he plays better when it’s in his game, but it waxes and wanes quite a bit. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | A bit of panic is back in Mueller’s game when handling the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Mueller almost goes coast to coast. Comes down the off wing and goes inside out on the Reign defender to draw a penalty. Flashes of real brilliance. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Mirco Mueller | Summary | Mueller has had good moments keeping the puck in the offensive zone, but more pokes and chips than puck possession and getting it to a teammate. Consistency is going to be the issue and he needs to level out the peaks and valleys in his game. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Emanuelsson has a good shot, quick release. Doesn’t always get in the best area for a scoring chance with it. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/16/2016 | 3/16/2016 | 10050 |
Anthony Beauvillier | Note | Really nice straight-line speed and power stride. Gets his feet back underneath him quickly | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Anthony Beauvillier | Summary | Struggled to find space in this game as Rouyn-Noranda focused on shutting down his land and were effective in doing so. Still, Beauvillier's skills and skating were present, and he created several chances that required better saves and defensive plays. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Dennis Yan | Note | Lost a puck to Meier who outworked him with back pressure | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Dennis Yan | Note | Good use of his size on the ice | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Dennis Yan | Note | Goes to the top of the crease, and puts home a rebound for a goal | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Dennis Yan | Note | Goes back hard to get to the defensive zone after a turnover | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Dennis Yan | Summary | A good game from Yan, who knows his way around the rink. A good player in several respects, his defensive game is improving and his offensive instincts make him a good offensive-zone player | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Dmytro Timashov | Note | Gets off a wrist shot from just inside the blue line that requires a good glove save to keep the puck out of the net | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Dmytro Timashov | Note | Not the most intense player on the defensive side of the puck. Sort of waves his stick at attackers. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Dmytro Timashov | Note | At his best carrying the puck through the neutral zone and making a zone entry | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Dmytro Timashov | Summary | Tymashov will not scare anyone in the defensive zone, but he excels in moving the puck up ice and creating opportunities. If he works on his two-way game and shows that he can be more than a liability in his own end, he has the skills to become a good winger in the NHL | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Francis Perron | Note | Good on his edges in traffic, protected the puck and put a backhand shot off the crossbar | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Francis Perron | Note | Not afraid to create offense | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Francis Perron | Note | Quick | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Francis Perron | Note | Carrying the puck through the neutral zone, found an open player on his left wing but his stick was on the wrong side of the puck to make the pass. Perron made a 20-foot kick pass, well-executed and smart on the fly. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Francis Perron | Note | Coasting to the circle while Meier has the puck, and Perron has his stick up ready for a one-timer. Meier found him, but the pass was tipped and came to Perron's feet, and Perron was unable to adjust his body to get his shot off. Instead, he booted to puck and the turnover went quickly the other way. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Francis Perron | Note | Sells out, diving a sprawling into the crease to prevent a goal after his goaltender took himself out of position on a penalty kill. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Francis Perron | Summary | Quick and always attacking, Perron (recently signed to an NHL contract) played with energy. There were a few flaws in his game, but he can convert chances and he is not shy on defense. Does not look like an offensive force, but could be an effective third-liner | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Julien Nantel | Note | Stick on the ice going to the net, and in a perfect position to bang home a rebound for a goal | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Julien Nantel | Summary | Shows flashes of ability, but lacks any high-end skills. Good, honest effort. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Samuel Girard | Note | Playing the top of the umbrella on the powerplay, and a good shot gets through traffic | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Samuel Girard | Note | Calm with the puck on his stick at either end of the ice | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Samuel Girard | Note | Got tripped up in the offensive zone, but got back up and raced hard to get back to his defensive zone, then laid down a solid body check on the puck carrier and knocked him off the puck | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Samuel Girard | Summary | Has an excellent stride and tremendous calmness with the puck on his stick. Girard can be a dangerous player, but sometimes is still too risky with the puck. However, after a couple more years of development, he could become a highly sought-after middle pair NHL defender. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Timo Meier | Note | Drives hard while forechecking and uses a one-handed whack at the puck-carrier to create a turnover, then goes straight to the net | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Timo Meier | Note | Patrols the ice like a shark waiting for some prey to drop into the water. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Timo Meier | Note | Strong on the puck, such a good possession-type player | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Timo Meier | Note | Dominant sequence of play where he showed his entire skill set: Covering back for a defender who had pinched, Meier broke up a pass with his active stick in the defensive zone. The he chipped the puck laterally away from the two attackers, skated past them to get the puck, then quickly pushed back to the neutral zone. There he powered through a forward, gained the offensive zone, chipped the puck off the wall to go around the defenseman, then took the puck to the net. Not selfish in any part of the sequence, and instead allowed his team to make a line change while maintaining possession. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Timo Meier | Note | Another strong possession play and draws a penalty | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Timo Meier | Note | Great vision and anticipation to find the man at the back door for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Timo Meier | Summary | The best player on the ice in this game, Meier's ability to control the puck and drive possession play has the hallmarks of a top-six NHL player. His vision and hockey sense are excellent, and he is a player who is constantly reading the game. He lacks a great explosive burst, but he is really strong on his skates and willing to do whatever it takes to get the puck to the net. | Brian Fogarty | Shawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL) | 3/14/2016 | 3/15/2016 | 10049 |
Adrian Kempe | Note | Kempe has good edge work and fluidity in his hips. Skating is very good. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/13/2016 | 3/13/2016 | 10048 |
Adrian Kempe | Note | Kempe gets caught doing too much, but like what he is seeing and trying. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/13/2016 | 3/13/2016 | 10048 |
Dylan DeMelo | Note | DeMelo turns over the puck and Sutter rifles a shot over the dropping Grosenick. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/13/2016 | 3/13/2016 | 10048 |
Dylan DeMelo | Note | DeMelo again with a turnover. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/13/2016 | 3/13/2016 | 10048 |
Dylan DeMelo | Note | DeMelo is just off, no other way to put it. Not playing well. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/13/2016 | 3/13/2016 | 10048 |
Jeremy Morin | Note | Morin has one of the better compete levels of the San Jose forwards. Generally plays within his game. Knows what he can do and does it well. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/13/2016 | 3/13/2016 | 10048 |
Justin Auger | Note | Auger a big kid that can move well in a straight line. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/13/2016 | 3/13/2016 | 10048 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Note | Jevpalovs started the year making steady progress, has stalled out on the curve. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/13/2016 | 3/13/2016 | 10048 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Emanuelsson with a strong move to the net, kicked out the right leg to protect the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/13/2016 | 3/13/2016 | 10048 |
Troy Grosenick | Note | Grosenick looking more than a bit shaky early. | Zachary DeVine | Ontario vs San Jose (AHL) | 3/13/2016 | 3/13/2016 | 10048 |
Grant Besse | Note | Besse crashes the net and backhands the rebound through the legs of the Minnesota goalie. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Grant Besse | Note | Besse with the high pressure to steal the puck and get the empty net goal to seal the win. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Hudson Fasching | Note | Fasching causing havoc in front on the PP, comes out with the rebound and makes a centering pass to assist on the powerplay goal. Confident play. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Hudson Fasching | Summary | Fasching has very good hands and good instincts, but isn’t using his large frame to his maximum benefit. Physically ready for the next level. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Hudson Fasching | Note | Fasching drives the net and centers to Thomas Novak for his second in the last minute of play. Another one-timer to the wide side. It’s waved off due to Minnesota being offsides after review, but what a goal. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Jedd Soleway | Note | Soleway with a brave deflection of Kunin’s shot. Has been taking abuse up there, good on him to keep at it in the crease. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Jedd Soleway | Note | Soleway’s next shift he gets a 5-minute major for checking from behind, ending his night. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Luke Kunin | Note | Kunin is like many young players: learning to play defense. Needs to move his feet and activate his stick | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Luke Kunin | Note | Kunin on the PK, not good stickwork, allows an easy pass through. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Luke Kunin | Note | Kunin’s blast on the powerplay deflected, got over to the off wing for the one timer. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Luke Kunin | Note | Kunin with a great interception as Minnesota tries to exit the zone. Great anticipation and slick mitts puts home the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Luke Kunin | Note | Blown offsides call cost Besse an assist and Kunin an empty net goal. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Luke Kunin | Summary | Playing offense, the vision and on-ice awareness is evident. Handles the puck well in traffic and has a quick, accurate shot. Good skating and agility. Defense wasn’t helpful, known hole in his game. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Ryan Collins | Note | Ryan Collins very steady defensively. Takes care of his own zone. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Ryan Collins | Note | Collins has a bomb of a shot. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Ryan Collins | Note | Collins consistently gets body position on the attacking forwards and separates them from the puck with his massive frame. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Ryan Collins | Summary | Smart defender that understands the position well. Has good skating ability but transitions and lateral movement could be refined. Size and smarts were keys in his game. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Thomas Novak | Summary | Novak was a player in his draft year that had some discussion on his talent level, but games like today show his skill and what a steal he was in the third round. Offensive vision and passing ability, mixed with high-end skating. He has gained weight, another 10 pounds would help as well. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Thomas Novak | Note | Novak has good vision in the offensive zone. Sees plays well and distributes the puck well. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Thomas Novak | Note | Novak could be a bit sturdier on his skates. Makes a play and watches it. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Thomas Novak | Note | Novak gets the puck into tight spaces. Saucer passes through traffic into scoring positions. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Thomas Novak | Note | Novak out on the ice with his team needing a goal. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Thomas Novak | Note | Novak with a lightning release. No doubt on that goal. | Zachary DeVine | Wisconsin vs Minnesota (NCAA) | 3/11/2016 | 3/12/2016 | 10047 |
Adam Mascherin | Note | Bad turnover in the defensive zone leads to a shot on goal against | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Adam Mascherin | Summary | Throws himself around and creates chances with his energy. However, there wasn't a lot of high-end skill on display in this game | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Christian Dvorak | Note | Defending on the 4-on-3 penalty kill | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Christian Dvorak | Note | Will throw his entire body into a hit | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Christian Dvorak | Summary | Dvorak is the cement on the London top line, the player who allows Tkachuk and Marner to run free. Physical, defensively responsible, and highly skilled, Dvorak looks like a player who will become a steady and reliable middle-six NHL center with good scoring upside. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Cliff Pu | Note | Pu with a great dish to Berisha who taps in the goal. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Cliff Pu | Note | Pu wheels into the crease and gets a good shot on goal. Cut hard to get into a scoring area. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Cliff Pu | Note | Nice vision and a soft, perfect pass for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Cliff Pu | Summary | Good player who made me notice him a couple of times despite the fact that I wasn't watching him. Plays hardnosed hockey with some skill. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Connor Bunnamann | Note | Bunnamann is a big kid. Mixing it up in the corners and is not afraid of anyone. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Connor Bunnamann | Note | Bunnamann is a decent skater, but edgework needs attention. Laterally not quick at all, and turns are not sharp. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Connor Bunnamann | Note | Looks a bit soft, a bit more gym time could have him doing better without the extra weight. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Connor Bunnamann | Note | Bunnamann played solidly for the Rangers. His skating straight line is good, but edgework and movement in the hips was lacking. For a big man, seemed to lose body position fairly easily even as he was crashing into the corners. Shot was decent as well. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Evan Bouchard | Note | Takes a big hit in the defensive zone but is unphased, and he returns the physical play without going over the edge to retaliate | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Evan Bouchard | Note | Playing on the penalty kill late in the game, good anticipation and read on the play | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Evan Bouchard | Summary | Bouchard is a sixteen-year-old defenseman playing a sizeable amount of minutes on a stacked team. He still has a lot to learn about the game, but he looks to be adjusting well to the speed of the OHL game at the top levels. Bouchard is on track to become a force of a two-way player. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Evan Bouchard | Note | Bouchard playing too far off defenders, giving too much respect | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Evan Bouchard | Summary | Bouchard is a 2018 that is contributing and playing with poise. His defense is raw, but the pieces are all there. Amazing that a player this young is doing so much for a stacked London squad. Immediately must be considered a top 2018 prospect. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Jeremy Bracco | Note | Bracco’s skating is not adequate. Huge red flag. Crossovers are sloppy and odd kick-step going right. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Jeremy Bracco | Note | Bracco falls down again unaided by a London Knight. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Jeremy Bracco | Summary | I was excited to see the offensive dynamo that so many said had improved his skating. It didn’t look much better at all to me. His vision is there, he has good hands, but the skating still needs massive improvement. He hasn’t done enough where he can move on, to this point. Skating can be taught, and can take time, likely prolonging his entry to the next levels of hockey. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Jeremy Bracco | Note | No power from his strides | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Jeremy Bracco | Note | Feet go straight back with a high kick. Losing a lot of speed and power because of faulty skating mechanics | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Jeremy Bracco | Note | Good balance when he's not trying to skate anywhere | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Jeremy Bracco | Summary | Bracco looks like a player who wants to make an impact on every shift, and sometimes he does, but most of the time his feet let him down and he simply can't get to where he needs or wants to be. His skating is a major concern and at this point limits his opportunities. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
JJ Piccinich | Note | Piccinich with a goal scorer's goal, going top cheddar short side from the goal line. Impressive shot. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
JJ Piccinich | Note | Piccinich has a solid compete level, works hard on seemingly every shift. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
JJ Piccinich | Note | Piccinich played with an edge and big motor throughout the game. His shot was one Opilka could do nothing about. Piccinich has posted a point per game thus far and coupled with his tenacity, was a notable player on the ice throughout the game and could easily be slotted up and down the line-up. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
JJ Piccinich | Note | Intensity on the forecheck | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
JJ Piccinich | Summary | Plays fast but often slips over into chaotic play that lacks discipline. Could become a true bottom-six energy type with a bit of scoring upside. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Luke Opilka | Note | Opilka with quick pads and tracking the puck well on the ice. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Luke Opilka | Summary | Opilka moves about his crease calmly. Not a lot of wasted movement, stays compact. Feet move with purpose but are quickly set and ready. Worked hard all night against one of the best lines in the entire OHL that was sent out seemingly every other shift. Reflexes and flexibility were excellent, as was body control on tough rebounds. Solid individual effort. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Able to control the puck while on one knee and only one hand on the stick, with a defender wrapped around him. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Beautiful feed for Marner who puts it over the net. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Note | So calm when the puck is on his stick | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Tkachuk having a rough first ten minutes. Seems a little behind the game early. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Tkachuk processes the game at a high level. He understands where players are going and what needs to be done. Seemingly always in a position to make something positive happen for his team. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Tkachuk takes a great shot, which gets through Opilka. Strong move to the net and a good shot. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Summary | Tkachuk uses his body well in the corners and in front of the net. Can see a lot of his father’s game in him, likely the little tips and tricks it takes to be a power forward. Has pro-style game and smarts. His skating is just good, but his solid hockey IQ and on-ice vision help bridge that gap. As others have said, he can skate to where he needs to go. Both a hard shot and soft hands, Tkachuk is cemented in the top-5 for me. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Note | That's why he's going to be an NHL scorer: patient, waits for the five-hole to open up, then tucks it home | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Summary | Big, strong, highly-skilled and excellent hockey iq and vision makes Tkachuk an elite prospect in the 2016 draft. Tkachuk is also highly competitive and always going hard when he is on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Good play at the offensive blueline to collect an off-target pass at his feet while under pressure, establish position against the defender and keep the play onsides, and then lift a long saucer pass back to his own blueline in order to reset and escape serious pressure. Such a skilled and smart play that will never get on the scoresheet. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Max Jones | Note | Jones has a big motor and is a good skater. Effort level is high when he is on the ice. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Mitch Marner | Note | Marner has a lane to the net and instead dishes off to Berisha. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Mitch Marner | Summary | Marner the Magical: He made a number of plays that made the home crowd ooh and aah. While the dangles will not translate, the on-ice vision and hands will. Marner's shot is not hard but it is accurate. The issue keeping him from the Leaf’s roster in my mind is the size. He doesn’t look to be 5’11 and 164 pounds might be a stretch as well. A summer of hard, long work is needed in the weight room, focusing heavily on developing lower body power would be a great benefit to the talent. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Mitch Marner | Note | Playing the right point on the powerplay | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Mitch Marner | Note | Crowd gasping at his puck handling at the blue line | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Mitch Marner | Summary | Top-end skating and excellent hands and vision, Marner is a constant threat to create or convert a scoring chance. Needs to add a lot of muscle and strength, as right now he still looks narrow, especially in his legs. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Mitch Marner | Note | Marner’s pass goes between his legs back to himself and carries the puck around the offensive zone, fearless with the puck on his stick and the skill to back it up. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Mitch Marner | Note | Marner puts the puck where only Tkachuk can get it. Fantastic pass. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Nick McHugh | Note | McHugh is skating very well, working hard. Into the game. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Nick McHugh | Sumary | McHugh was a forward that skated with purpose during his shifts. He would put himself in the action and exhibited a willingness to pay the price to makes something happen for the Rangers, who seemed to be outclassed in this game. McHugh was constantly working to get the offense started. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Juolevi loses the puck as it's flipped into the zone and it leads to the Kitchener goal with under two minutes to play. His only real gaff, but it was more of a freak play. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Juolevi quietly goes to the soft part of the ice, back door and a rebound pops out to him and he snaps it home. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Juolevi's lateral play is elite. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Juolevi: just better than any other defenseman on the ice. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Juolevi defending against McHugh. Leaves no gap, pokes the puck, goes in the air, bats at it, then as it falls to his feet he kicks it to his stick and puts the puck back to the neutral zone. That was a pro-style stop. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Olli Juolevi | Summary | Juolevi, the defensive Finnish hero and latest in a long line of defenseman from the Finland Factory of Excellence. Somewhere in a jumble of the top three rearguards, Juolevi is the most polished of the three overall and it was all left out on display in this game. He dominated the game defensively, easily playing 25+ minutes and never slowing down. His goal on the power play showed great offensive vision and his defensive contribution to the game cannot be understated. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Gets position on a opposing forward at the top of the crease then lifts and controls the forward's stick in order to prevent an attempted shot tip. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Right place, right time. Always. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Gap control, stick active, breaks up zone entries with ease. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Olli Juolevi | Summary | Juolevi plays a smart two-way games with an impressive skill set. His gap control was exceptional on nearly every attack, and his ability to bring the puck up through the neutral zone is scintillating. He looks like a future star defenseman. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Juolevi gets the minor details defensively. Amazingly tight gaps and smart, active stick. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Ryan MacInnis | Note | Quicker feet than in his draft year. Skating has improved all around | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Ryan MacInnis | Summary | MacInnis has the trappings of a NHL center. He is big, strong, good on his skates both laterally and straightline speed. The hands are there, too, but his processing speed is still a bit slower than his skills, so he is having trouble putting it all together. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Tyler Parsons | Note | Parsons seems to be fighting the puck, a bit antsy in his crease, doesn’t set himself well. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Tyler Parsons | Summary | Parsons' movements can be clunky and he does not seem to reset himself quickly. He blocked the puck more than he saved it. The team in front of him is stacked so the stats are good. The question is can the lack of polish to him game and okay size be overcome and allow him to be a special goalie prospect? The more I see of Parsons, the more I see of Zachary Fucale, which is not a good thing for me. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Victor Mete | Note | Mete plays fast. Good skater. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Victor Mete | Note | Mete with a good angle to both get back and cut off a pass. Smart play and good awareness. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Victor Mete | Summary | Victor Mete is a small defenseman, but one that has the tools to make it work at the next levels of play. His skating is excellent and fluid in all aspects. His stickhandling is above average and he is comfortable when moving the puck in traffic. He can work a power play and isn’t lost in his own zone. His size is the only question mark, and it’s a big one. But the tools are all there. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | 3/6/2016 | 3/6/2016 | 10046 |
Alexander Nylander | Summary | Simply another poor viewing for Nylander. He did not raise his game as I expected at the BMO game and was demoted to the third line in the final period of a tightly contested game. His skill level seen at WJC seems to be the high-water mark of the year in games of his I have seen. They were amazingly impressive in Finland, but enough modest efforts to now give me pause and likely drop him a bit in my rankings. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Alexander Nylander | Note | Engaged early with some physical play | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Alexander Nylander | Note | Shows off his stickhandling and finds McLeod cutting to the net | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Alexander Nylander | Summary | Not is best all-around game, but hindered quite a bit by a lot of line-juggling by the coach. His playmaking ability was really on display with the McLeod goal, but he didn't generate a lot of quality offense other than that. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Daniel Nickandrov | Summary | Nikandrov is a nice player. Showed a few good hands moves, creating offensive chances. Free agent forward that might get a call. Toolsy. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Dominik Masin | Note | Really good footwork on the PK | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Dominik Masin | Note | Missed the net with a blast of a one-timer | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Dominik Masin | Note | Ends the night with four primary assists on five Peterborough goals scored. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Dominik Masin | Summary | Played a great game with more involvement in the offense game than I have seen from him the past. Good shot, smart reads all over the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Dominik Masin | Note | Masin’s edge work and skating transitions are very good. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Dominik Masin | Note | Masin with a shot from the point as part of the PP1 unit | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Dominik Masin | Note | Masin not afraid at all to step up to make a play or a hit. Nimble on his skates and has recovery speed at this level. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Dominik Masin | Note | Masin carries the puck up the wing and dishes off to a winger gaining speed. Done this a few times and each has been a good shot on goal. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Dominik Masin | Summary | Masin was a player that I read quite a bit about last year and was interested in what was said about him. He did not disappoint in this viewing. He was confident both with and without the puck and smartly used his body and skating to influence the play. Was comfortable stepping into the play either to aid the rush or thwart an attacker. Projectable size, and smooth skater. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Eric Cornell | Note | Goes back hard to the bench after a long shift | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Eric Cornell | Note | Good shift, smart with his stick to turn the puck carrier and gain position inside. Gets a takeaway and a scoring chance follows that fell apart as his line mate failed to convert Cornell's pass | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Eric Cornell | Note | Plays like he likes to get his hands dirty, Goes into traffic to make a play. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Eric Cornell | Note | Smarts and visions finds an open Garlent for another chance | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Eric Cornell | Summary | Smart, all effort, possession-type player with the size and physical play to become a steady middle-six forward in the NHL. Not a lot of scoring upside, but could become part a team's core | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Greg Betzold | Note | Betzold knocks in a scramble goal in front of Jack Flinn to tie the game. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Greg Betzold | Note | Betzold’s shot trickles through Flinn, Garlent knocks it in | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Greg Betzold | Summay | An NHL free agent, Betzold played hard all night and was a driving player on offense. He was signed as a free agent to get into the OHL and likely will have the same happen in the NHL. Motor and work ethic are high-end and the size and strength for the professional game. Might be a bottom-six skater, but one to keep an eye on if he does sign. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Hunter Garlent | Note | Nasty release on his wrist shot, and a ringing slapshot | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Hunter Garlent | Note | Second goal much like his first one: quick hands to get his stick on a loose rebound and put it in the back of the net. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Hunter Garlent | Summary | A goal-scorer, with the anticipation to get to the right spot on the ice and hands quick enough to cash in on his chances | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Jack Flinn | Note | Good saves by Flinn, fought to see the puck and had a quick right pad save. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Jonathan Ang | Note | Ang’s speed gets him to the corner and centers to Betzold, but Flinn is equal to the task. Ang does the exact same again, on the same shift, Flinn again with the save | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Jonathan Ang | Note | Ang with a monster shift. Intercepts the puck and carries the puck forehand around the net for the wrap-around goal. 2016 eligible. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Jonathan Ang | Summary | Very fast, agile skater with smooth hands and a willingness to play physically when presented the opportunity. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Jonathan Ang | Note | Active stick in the passing lane, then creates a chance with his body and hands | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Jonathan Ang | Note | Soft hands receiving passes | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Jonathan Ang | Note | Slowish hips hinder his transition from forward to backward skating, but he's good backwards once he gets flipped around | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Jonathan Ang | Note | Hard effort shift, made several quality plays with his head up, creating turnovers, and ends it with a wraparound goal | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Jonathan Ang | Note | Another hard-working shift | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Jonathan Ang | Summary | Fast and intense, Ang played hard all night long. He has good size and was effective in all three zones. He also looked like he was having fun playing, especially as the game heated up. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Matt Spencer | Note | Matt Spencer walks in from the blueline, dances around Mike McLeod, shoots and knocks his own rebound out of the air past Flinn. Filthy, but waived off | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Mike McLeod twice in the first period carried the puck with great speed into the offensive zone and never got a shot off, either his own or a teammate. Has to be able to create chances if he is going to skate and carry the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Michael McLeod | Note | The Steelheads first power play unit features 5 forwards, and Mike McLeod snaps in the puck after Nylander's sweet cross-ice pass. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Michael McLeod | Summary | Mike McLeod must be seen in person to appreciate his skating. Both with and without the puck, the skating is elite. Fast, agile, powerful, quick first steps. McLeod while offensively a threat, wasn’t able to get much done in the way of play creation, but that is not his game. His game is unmatchable speed, good vision, solid hands. Hockey IQ could be better, but it won’t hold him back. He might be a top 10 pick, more likely in the 12-20 range. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Twice so far tonight McLeod has carried the puck into the offensive zone only to loft a long-range wrist shot on net without creating any danger | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Buries a chance that Nylander made for him | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Michael McLeod | Summary | Even after having just returned from knee surgery, McLeod was easily the best skater on the ice. However, I have yet to see him display any creativity with the puck. Needs someone to help him utilize his speed. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Nathan Bastian | Note | Defensively aware, keeping his position and monitoring the left point defenseman. Not chasing the puck even when there was an alluring chance to do so. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Nathan Bastian | Summary | A good all-around player who needs to get stronger, but with good skating and agility. Plays a straight-ahead style and seems always to be trying to make something happen | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Nathan Bastian | Note | Nathan Bastian fighting in front of the Pete’s net. Keeping himself open to the shot for a deflection. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Nick Hague | Note | Uses his length well to poke check and disrupt an attack | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Nick Hague | Note | Loses his man in a dangerous spot and allows a chance in the homeplate area | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Nick Hague | Note | Doesn't seem to have his head wrapped around his game yet | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Nick Hague | Summary | Hague has improved measurably on the defensive end of the ice since I watched him earlier in the year. He seemed less inclined to chase players for big hits, but played a more contained defense. Still had mental lapses, but progress is there. Has a good nose for the offensive game. | Brian Fogarty | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Sean Day | Note | Sean Day with a goal, good screen in the front of the net but perfectly placed shot just under the crossbar. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Sean Day | Note | Sean Day is playing well defensively. Should play a bit heavier in front of his net, where he seems to get to with partner Gibson doing the skating. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Sean Day | Summary | Day was not fully committed to this game. Numerous times lazy plays followed smart ones. Had a instance in the third period where he was able to use great footwork and a quick stick to breakup a dangerous rush. Later, he would simply lose his man. Had a high-skill goal to open scoring which only left you more frustrated with some of his more lackadaisical plays. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Steve Lorentz | Note | Lorentz with a great power move to the net, but has the puck roll of his stick. Motor is going tonight | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Steve Lorentz | Note | Lorentz likes to shoot, makes strong moves to high risk areas of the ice. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Steve Lorentz | Note | Lorentz playing with the puck on his stick. Confident and capable. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Steve Lorentz | Summary | Steve Lorentz was solid throughout the evening for the Petes. Projectable size and a strong motor, there is plenty to like regarding his play. Does not shy away from traffic areas and has a strong nose for the net. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs Peterborough (OHL) | 3/5/2016 | 3/5/2016 | 10045 |
Alex Nedeljkovic | Note | Nedeljkovic just kept Labanc from his 38th goal of the year. Heck of a save. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Andrew Mangiapane | Note | Generating a bit of offensive, forces a save | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Andrew Mangiapane | Summary | Mangiapane plays small, but he is quick and instinctive. He goes to the traffic areas, though, and is shifty enough to evade most defenders. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Andrew Mangiapane | Note | Mangiapane works hard on every shift. He is just going at it. Not the best skater early. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Andrew Mangiapane | Note | Mangiapane needs more mustard on his passes and clears. Reads have been solid in the second period but more oomph needed. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Andrew Mangiapane | Note | Mangiapane works hard on every shift. Digs the puck out on the forecheck and some how, some way gets it to Nattinen for his second of the night. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Andrew Mangiapane | Summary | Mangiapane works hard on every shift. He is a small player that is shifty on his skates but doesn’t have the elite skating that you’d like to see that smaller players in the NHL seem to require to compete at that level. Mangiapane has a lot of points, but many are the result of hard, honest work in all zones coupled with his good vision. Had two assists in this game, one of the spectacular variety. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Ben Jones | Note | Ben Jones scores for the Ice Dogs, his fourth of the year for the ’99 birthday. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Brendan Perlini | Note | Soft hands to receive a hard pass in traffic | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Brendan Perlini | Note | Drives the net, shows off the hands and edgework, gets a great chance but bested by a top-notch Blackwood pad save | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Brendan Perlini | Note | At the right point for the game's first powerplay (with one minute remaining in the second period) | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Brendan Perlini | Note | Been on the bench for almost all of the third period. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Brendan Perlini | Summary | Perlini sat the third period after the coach pegged him to bench for presumably allowing a short-handed goal on a two-on-one against. Still, Perlini has all of the tools-size, skill, skating--to become a top-six, 50 point-per-season possession forward in the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Christopher Paquette | Note | Paquette is fast at top speed. First few steps are just okay. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Dylan Sadowy | Note | Sadowy’s skating is still holding him back from a development standpoint. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Graham Knott | Note | Good use of this body to create an extra second to find Maletta in the crease for a goal | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Graham Knott | Note | Couldn't convert a pass in the slot | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Graham Knott | Note | When Knott adds twenty pounds he is going to be a beast | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Graham Knott | Summary | Knott is tall but still thin, yet he plays the game like he already has the extra pounds. Strong both on his skates and in the corners. Knott looks a bit raw, but has the form to round into a true NHL power forward. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Graham Knott | Note | Knott with the dish to Maletta who goes through the wickets to tie the game at one. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Any hint of a turnover and he's calling for the puck hunting for a breakaway | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Dekes, dangles, stick to foot to stick, behind the net pass to the slot. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Leads a rush (after calling again for the puck) and makes a perfectly-weighted head-man pass to Harper which results in a great chance | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Good hands to bat down and intercept a knee-high pass, collect the puck and transition to the offensive zone | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Draws a penalty with his speed. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Slamming the bench gate | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Summary | Ho-Sang dazzles with puck handling and skating, and is a hard worker on the ice. However, for every moment of brilliance there is another moment of frustration as he curls away and offensive chances dissolve. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Ho-Sang dangles at the blue line and hits a streaking Harper down the right side but the goal is waved off for incidental goalie interference. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Ho-Sang’s overall skating ability is excellent. Edge work, balance, speed and agility are all there. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Ho-Sang sends the puck across to Harper, whose shot is stopped but bounces in off an Ice Dog player. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Joshua Ho-Sang is a talented offensive player that works very hard on each shift who really wants the puck on his stick. His dangles and stick-handling are elite level and has very good on-ice vision to go with it. However, he is morally opposed to shooting, even when it is the only play available to him. Numerous times in this game he had a good opportunity at net that ended with a pass to a teammate. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Julius Nattinen | Note | Seven minutes remaining in the first period, and it's the first time I've noticed him on the ice | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Julius Nattinen | Note | Gets his second goal of the game by pure puck luck. His sharp-angle shot was saved, but the rebound hit two different Niagara defenders and trickled into the net. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Julius Nattinen | Summary | Mostly invisible for the game (two goals notwithstanding), Nattinen displays mostly average skating, a decent knack for offense, but overall he looks like a bottom-six role player. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Julius Nattinen | Note | Nattinen’s defensive play is uninspired and without urgency. Allows lots of time and space. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Julius Nattinen | Note | Nattinen gets on his horse and slams home a back-breaking goal with 90 seconds to play | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Julius Nattinen | Note | This is Nattinen’s first year in North America and there are some adjustments going on. He didn’t skate hard on each shift, but positionally was where he needed to be. Would have liked to see more effort out of him as when he needed to exert himself, the skating was very good. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Kevin Labanc | Note | Huge burst, deep knee bend, splits through the defensive high slot, and gets a nice pass from Stefano which Labanc finishes with a dart of a top-corner wrist shot. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Kevin Labanc | Note | Labanc with his second goal (this one shorthanded) after the Niagara powerplay breaks down. Pulled the puck to his backhand and buried it. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Kevin Labanc | Summary | Labanc is a scoring machine with great hands and anticipation. His cut off the puck through the slot was perfectly timed and his quick, relatively easy conversion looked effortless. Good speed, but needs to strengthen his defensive fundamentals. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Kevin Labanc | Note | Labanc is excellent on the edges. Keeps himself open to the play and gives teammates options. Not a hard shooter | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Kevin Labanc | Note | Labanc causing havoc and his screen nearly gets it done with the puck trickling wide. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Kevin Labanc | Note | Labanc out at the point and wiggles through the crease and an excellent shot puts the Colts up 2-1 | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Kevin Labanc | Note | Labanc with a greasy goal short handed. Crashes the net and gets a stick on it, Nedeljkovic likely should have had that one. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Kevin Labanc | Note | Labanc robbed. Stefano’s great dish to Labanc again at the top of the crease. Working in dirty areas for the goals. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Kevin Labanc | Note | Labanc was the OHL scoring leader with 116 points going into this game and added two more goals. The first goal was a fantastic shot and the second was a hard-working, short-handed tally. Labanc skates very well and competes on each shift. He doesn’t have great top end speed but is very shifty. He is able to see the ice well and make smart passes. He is a skilled player but didn’t carry the puck much at all. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Mackenzie Blackwood | Note | Blackwood is giving up some juicy rebounds early. Fighting the puck. Over-playing shots | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Mackenzie Blackwood | Note | Blackwood stays with Perlini as he cuts in hard on the off, left wing. Good tracking save | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Mackenzie Blackwood | Summary | The winning goalie of the contest has 49 saves on 52 shots. Blackwood looked skittish in the first period, was overly active and uneasy in net. He calmed down as the game progressed and he went from blocking pucks to stopping pucks and finally making excellent saves late in the game. Blackwood’s calm game was excellent and he should work to bring that to all of his starts. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Rasmus Andersson | Note | Took a big hit into the boards and didn't return for the rest of the first period | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Rasmus Andersson | Note | Back on the ice to start the second period | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Rasmus Andersson | Note | Good play positionally to break up a pass in the defensive zone, joins the rush, patient to let the shot develop | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Rasmus Andersson | Summary | A good skater and a big body, Andersson has quality offensive hockey sense and an adequate command of the defensive zone. Still made judgment errors in his own end, but he's coming along. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Rasmus Andersson | Note | Andersson’s gap control about the same as previous viewings and that is to say not tight. Gives too much ice | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Rasmus Andersson | Note | Andersson activates but takes too long to get the shot on net. Next faceoff gets a wrister through. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Rasmus Andersson | Note | Andersson puts a good hit on Harper who was coming across the middle with his head down. Good read. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Rasmus Andersson | Summary | Andersson had a steady game. Played a physical game and defensively was steady, but played way off the attacking players and allowed too much time and space. Niagara players used it to create havoc all night long in a close game up until the last 90 seconds of play. Needs to play up more on the blue line. | Zachary DeVine | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Zachary Magwood | Note | Good first step, takes a puck down the right-wing boards, turns the corner and shovels a pass to the slot | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Zachary Magwood | Note | Scores on a wrister from beyond the dot. Good release, but Nedeljkovic will want that one back | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Zachary Magwood | Summary | Magwood will turn 18 in April. He played mostly bottom-six minutes for the Colts, but showed decent hands and a solid work rate. Decent skating, decent hands, and good all-around player. Likely an AHLer | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Barrie (OHL) | 3/4/2016 | 3/4/2016 | 10044 |
Patrik Laine | Note | Physical play is measured but part of his game. Certainly a tool he is exhibiting. | Zakk | Tappara vs Vaansan Sport (Liiga) | 2/19/2016 | 2/19/2016 | 10043 |
Patrik Laine | Note | Laine with the overtime winner. Circled the offensive zone like a shark, defenders had to give him room, and shoots from the right face off dot and snaps home the winner. Awesome shot. | Zakk | Tappara vs Vaansan Sport (Liiga) | 2/19/2016 | 2/19/2016 | 10043 |
Patrik Laine | Summary | Strong overall game for Laine. His knack for big goals was validated yet again with the OT winner after circling the entire offensive zone, but had a number of solid defensive plays, smart moves in the offensive zone, used his teammates effectively and played well all game. Impressive viewing. | Zakk | Tappara vs Vaansan Sport (Liiga) | 2/19/2016 | 2/19/2016 | 10043 |
Patrik Laine | Note | Quiet first period overall for Laine. Only had one good opportunity to get a head of steam. | Zakk | Tappara vs Vaansan Sport (Liiga) | 2/19/2016 | 2/19/2016 | 10043 |
Patrik Laine | Note | Laine as a 17-year-old is a noticeable physical specimen out on the ice. If he didn’t have a number or a name plate, you’d know exactly who he is. | Zakk | Tappara vs Vaansan Sport (Liiga) | 2/19/2016 | 2/19/2016 | 10043 |
Patrik Laine | Note | Laine’s hands allow him time and space, even with a defender right on him. | Zakk | Tappara vs Vaansan Sport (Liiga) | 2/19/2016 | 2/19/2016 | 10043 |
Patrik Laine | Note | Aware of the players around him, excellent vision on two drop plays on the same shift, one of which he just left the puck and set a pick that resulted in a good shot on net. Smart. | Zakk | Tappara vs Vaansan Sport (Liiga) | 2/19/2016 | 2/19/2016 | 10043 |
Auston Matthews | Note | Matthews at times will not pivot to keep himself open to the play, will loop around. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Auston Matthews | Note | Few times this year I have noticed how dangerous his backhand is. Reminds me of Paul Karyia how quickly he can get if off and up. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Auston Matthews | Note | Matthews able to stickhandle at speed and quick hands keeps defenders at bay. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Auston Matthews | Note | Matthews goes inside out, and a wicked wrist shot sails wide in the overtime. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Auston Matthews | Note | Matthews shootout attempt dekes the goalie but hits the post. Slick move, no goal. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Auston Matthews | Summary | Held off the scoresheet but dangerous on nearly every shift. Was impressed with his stick handling at speed, not just lugging the puck up ice. Still needs more physical strength, smaller men were able to use angles and leverage on hm a number of times. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Jonas Siegenthaler | Note | Skating is exceptional. Smooth, powerful stride, fluid in the hips, can pivot and changes directions or move laterally with seemingly zero effort. Ability to stay on the attacker is due largely to good defensive smarts paired with the gifted skating. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Jonas Siegenthaler | Note | Good move to the center of the ice, Siegenthaler’s shot/pass is tipped to tie the game. Smart play. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Jonas Siegenthaler | Summary | Overall played an excellent game. Deployed in all situations and while more offensive in nature, wasn’t out of place defensively either. Took smart chances and support the play well. Excellent skater, uses this ability to keep tight gaps. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Pius Suter | Note | Suter playing an attentive game defensively. Good, sound positioning. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Pius Suter | Note | Suter does not appear to have a high level motor. Good amount of coasting. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Pius Suter | Note | Suter not a fast skater. Speed is adequate at best, but heady player uses it the best he can, mitigating the damage. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Pius Suter | Summary | Concerns continue with Suter's skating and overall motor. His positioning is generally sound, but didn’t see much in this game that would move the needle much from Suter’s WJC performances. | Zachary DeVine | ZSC vs Kloten (NLA) | 2/15/2016 | 2/15/2016 | 10042 |
Alex Forsberg | Note | Forsberg nice rush, but gets poked checked away at the blue line. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Alexander True | Note | True having a hard time covering the point guys. Lateral movement is hard for him. Straight line player. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Alexander True | Note | True isn’t flexible or something. Hunched over skating style that is very stiff. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Ethan Bear | Note | Bear blocks the centering pass from Soy on the PK. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Ethan Bear | Note | Bear handles the puck well in all situations. Uses stick handling to both avoid danger and draw in attackers. Impressive 2015 5th rounder (EDM) | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Ethan Bear | Note | Bear has powerful backward strides, smooth crossovers. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Ethan Bear | Note | Bear playing well on both ends of the ice. Also impressed with lane selection, he is getting shots through | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Ethan Bear | Note | Defensive battle, and Ethan Bear is standing out in a tight-checking game. Smart plays with the puck and smart physical play. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Ethan Bear | Note | Ethan Bear is doing it all. Out on the power play, rifles a shot past the Royals goalie who simply got beat. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Ethan Bear | Summary | Wildly impressed with Ethan Bear. His best play of the night: his active stick takes the puck from Donovan Neuls and with quick mitts gets the puck up the ice to a winger, out of trouble. I said “wow” out loud and the fan next to me says “I know!” in agreement. Solid in all areas, time on the PP, solid skating and powerful backward stride, stick handling is able to both dance around attackers and defenders depending on need. Positionally knew where to be and broke up two plays on the PK that were dangerous. Fantastic viewing. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Jack Walker | Summary | Walker buzzing around the ice tonight. Made a number of strong moves to the net. Listed as both a winger and a defenseman, Walker would spend a shift on the power play as a forward and then switch back to defense. His motor was going regardless of score. Solid speed, but not able to stay on his skates in a tight-checking game. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Joe Hicketts | Note | Hicketts boxes out Alex True. Loses a lot in size and weight but got the job done. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Joe Hicketts | Note | Hicketts with a big hit on Leth | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Joe Hicketts | Summary | Joe Hicketts was a man on a physical mission. Took himself out of position a few times making (or trying to make) a hit. His compete level is without question every game, but needs to play within himself as well. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Keegan Kolesar | Note | Seattle scores on a bit of a scramble. Looks like it was Kolesar’s goal again, scrapping in front of the net. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Keegan Kolesar | Summary | Kolesar with the empty net goal for the hat trick. Gritty, good skating, good size and showed a good touch. Over a point per game this season, laid some hits. Skates well for a big and heavy man. Uses his size effectively to eliminate players along the boards. Had a few defensive lapses but otherwise sound in his own zone all night. Overall, a good player in all zones. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Mathew Barzal | Note | Barzal’s passing is on point early. Goal by Holowko on the cross ice feed by Kolesar. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Mathew Barzal | Note | Barzal's skating is excellent. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Mathew Barzal | Note | Barzal's skating is shifty. Royals are trying hard to get a body on him and it’s not going as well as planned. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Mathew Barzal | Summary | I have watched Barzal quite a bit, and his consistency is amazing. He brings it every game, and you know what you get: a hard, smooth-skating center with vision, puck skills and drive. His teammates would force feed him the puck at times, but more often than not, he got something done with the puck even if the Royals knew who the puck was going to. Impressive player, can’t wait to see him in the NHL. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Mathew Barzal | Note | Barzal loses the puck at the blue line trying a bit too much. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Mathew Barzal | Note | Barzal moving well. Side steps the big hits. Hicketts went to line him up and missed. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Turner Ottenbreit | Note | Turner Ottenbreit saves a goal tying up Walker's stick. Has played well in his own zone tonight, a few noticeable nice plays. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Tyler Soy | Note | Soy takes the puck off the half wall, makes a great move around Sculdhaus and goes short side on Flodell for the goal. Hell of a shot. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Tyler Soy | Note | Soy without the puck is not inspired. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Tyler Soy | Note | Soy’s play away from the puck leaves everything to be desired. Tried to get out of the way of the Bear shot. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Tyler Soy | Summary | Tyler Soy is an enigma, even in a single viewing. His first few shifts showed signs of life, got his goal, and then anytime he didn’t have the puck, was seemingly not in the mood to play in a hockey game. When he did have the puck, it was like someone flipped a switch and you had to hold onto your seat. Maddening to watch. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10041 |
Alex Forsberg | Note | Forsberg backhand to start the 2nd goes behind Hill but off the post. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Alex Forsberg | Note | Forsberg goes behind the net to forecheck when Phillips already there, easy breakout for Portland. He needs to be smarter. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Alex Forsberg | Note | Forsberg uses Jones as a screen, snaps a low shot on Hill. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Alex Forsberg | Note | Forsberg looking more involved early. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Alex Forsberg | Summary | Played an engaged, two-way game with offensive ability, but lacked polish. As a 21-year-old in his fourth WHL season, more is expected of Forsberg. Was at least active in this game, previous viewings have not been positive, some without a single note. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Caleb Jones | Note | Jones rubs out Soy to eliminate him, joins the play going the other way and beats Outhouse to win the game. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Caleb Jones | Note | Jones with two clearing attempts intercepted. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Caleb Jones | Note | Had the game-winning goal on a smart defensive play: Rubs Tyler Soy out on the boards in order to separate the man from the puck, skates out of the zone, smart pass to a winger, drives the net to pot the game winner. Jones isn’t as dynamic as his brother, but the hockey smarts are there and he is a very good skater. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Griffen Outhouse | Note | Outhouse overplays to his stick side, ends up way outside | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Griffen Outhouse | Note | Outhouse tracking the puck with heavy traffic in front of him. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Griffen Outhouse | Note | Schoenborn rings one off the post. Outhouse has only faced a half dozen shot attempts, two shots on goal in the first twelve minutes of play. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Griffen Outhouse | Note | Even in the loss, Outhouse has skill that should be noticed by scouts. He plays a solid game, and makes the save as opposed to just blocking the puck. Doesn’t have great size, but adequate. A handful of times he would save the puck and then put it back into play, which I feel shows an overall confidence. Some team could be very happy with a late round steal that some will call “off the board.” | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Joe Hicketts | Summary | Hicketts with a handful of solid hits tonight. Keeping himself in position, as well. It was the Royals third road game in three nights and he looked to be a bit winded towards the end of the game. Victoria leaned hard on him, and he doesn’t takes shift off. Took himself out of position a few times trying to make hits, but I like that he is looking to make physical contact. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Keegan Iverson | Note | Iverson has a quick release. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Keegan Iverson | Note | Iverson with a huge hit. Good, solid and clean. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Keegan Iverson | Sumary | Iverson was a physical presence that factored into the game in a variety of ways. Royals were very aware when he was on the ice, but not much offensive upside was displayed. Work ethic did not wane at all during the game. Very good skating ability as well. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Rodrigo Abols | Note | Abols drives the right wing, centers but no teammate can get a stick on it, keeps at it and still gets a SOG after stripping the puck from a Royal. Good shift. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Rodrigo Abols | Note | Abols dangles in and gets the puck to a teammate, drives the middle to open space. Smart play. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Rodrigo Abols | Note | Abols on the backcheck with the Royals threatening, gets in a passing lane and intercepts. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Rodrigo Abols | Note | Abols with another good hands play for a dangerous chance that is blocked. Liking how he is seeing the ice tonight. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Rodrigo Abols | Note | Nice touch by Abols on a saucer pass that eludes a well-positioned Royal defender on the blue line. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Rodrigo Abols | Summary | Moving much better in the afternoon game, Abols showed decent skating with good hockey sense. Played a solid two-way game, but displayed more of a touch on the puck than seen previously. Has moved up in the 2016 draft rankings for me, solid middle-round pick with size and serviceable hands. Skating will be a work in progress. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Ryan Peckford | Note | Peckford scores on the powerplay. Greasy goal. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Ryan Peckford | Note | Peckford pick up the puck and a quick shot off the mask of Hill. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Ryan Peckford | Summary | Still adjusting to the pace of the WHL, rookie Peckford has projectable size and skates well. Does not look physically out of place, but numerous times in the game he just didn’t process the game at the speed at which it was being played. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Tyler Soy | Note | Soy cuts in from the middle and deflects the puck over the net. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Tyler Soy | Note | Soy does the tow drag every time he can. Predictable. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Tyler Soy | Note | Soy often hanging out near the Portland blue line. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Tyler Soy | Summary | Soy will give up on a play if there is an aggressive move towards him. Easily pushed off the puck with a mean glance. One of the more dangerous players on the ice, but without anything resembling a compete level in multiple viewings, will not factor into a future prospect. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Portland (WHL) | 2/14/2016 | 2/14/2016 | 10040 |
Brycen Martin | Note | Martin’s carelessness with the puck leads to another icing. Almost turned over the puck by leaving it behind the net for a forechecker. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Brycen Martin | Note | Martin again just whacks at the puck, not much composure with it on his stick. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Brycen Martin | Note | Martin does a strange hop to pivot to back-skating and cannot accelerate well because of it. Skating needs work. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Brycen Martin | Summary | Brycen Martin was careless with the puck. Passes were not crisp and shots were often into shin pads. Skating needs some attention as well, especially laterally and pivots. Not his best game, but has some upside. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Carter Hart | Summary | Hart tracking the puck very well. Tips, deflections, broken plays and sticks: he is seeing it all. Not getting a ton of support defensively, but kept the Silvertips in the game. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar has blocked two big shots. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar with a quick shot on goal on the PP. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Connor Dewar | Summary | Dewar was a bit more quiet in this game than previous viewings, but was still deployed often and was skating hard. Defensively one of his better games blocking two big shots and harassing the points. Played well away from the puck in a game his team was trailing, which is good to see from a younger player. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Griffen Outhouse | Summary | The WHL rookie was very impressive in the 28-save shutout. Nothing was glaring about his game, played with poise and confidence all night long. Had a few scrambles in front of his net, but sealed the ice. Outhouse made a number of strong saves in route to his fourth shutout in only 21 games played. His save percentage is a spectacular .940. The Royals played will in front of him tonight, but he was great when called upon. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Joe Hicketts | Summary | Hicketts has a compete level that is hard to match. His best play was two poke checks from his stomach, gets the puck and rifles a shot over the net. Does not give an inch anywhere on the ice. Took himself out of position trying to make big hits, but it’s something he needs to keep in his game at his height. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Juulsen carries the puck and maintains possession. Not just outlet passes, but actively driving possession and aiding the rush. Also has a bomb from the point. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Juulsen’s transitions from forward to back are smooth. Easily gets around from defend to attack. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Noah Juulsen | Summary | Even in the losing effort, Juulsen had a very good game. He carried the puck better tonight and maintains possession. His skills with the puck are not just outlet passes, but actively driving possession and aiding the rush. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov had a nice opportunity but stopped to settle the puck. Needs to be quicker with his chances. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov misses a golden opportunity with 30 seconds left. Heels the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov nearly gets the equalizer. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Patrick Bajkov | Summary | Bajkov was more energetic than usual tonight and skating with purpose. Had a number of good scoring chances that his good skating and hard work created. Needs to make quicker decisions with the puck overall. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Ryan Peckford | Summary | Peckford not doing much besides coasting. Seemed disconnected all game. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Tyler Soy | Note | Short handed, Soy on the breakaway that is stopped. His skating created that chance for him and then backchecks and lifts a stick on the PK. Solid shift. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Tyler Soy | Note | Soy stops on a dime and quickly gets going the other way. Has created time and space for himself twice by this move. High-end skating ability. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Tyler Soy | Note | Soy’s speed gets him an empty net goal to close it out. His second goal of the night. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Tyler Soy | Summary | Soy is talented but motor isn’t very high. Zero physical involvement during the game. Acceleration and edge work is excellent. Had two goals and four golden scoring chances, all of which resulted from his skating ability. No physical game. | Zachary DeVine | Victoria vs Everett (WHL) | 2/13/2016 | 2/13/2016 | 10039 |
Caleb Jones | Summary | Caleb Jones not on the scoresheet but makes good, fast decisions with the puck. Sees the ice really well and haven’t seen a bad pass or play from him all night. Steady play all around. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Carter Hart | Note | Hart squeezes the pads on a tricky deflection. Tracking the puck well. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Carter Hart | Note | Hart doesn’t panic when the puck goes right to an opponent in the crease. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Carter Hart | Summary | Hart with good economy of movement. He drops to the butterfly a little too early, but seals the posts well. Lateral movement is sound and doesn’t take himself out of position. Solid glove hand and excellent reflexes. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Cody Glass | Note | Glass out to take a draw. Playing as a true center. Impressive for a young player like that. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Cody Glass | Summary | Glass responsible in the defensive zone picks up a misplayed pass and gets it safely out of danger. Good support. Shows he knows where he needs to be. Physically was removed from the play a few times, but played smart overall. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar gets a shot, passes the puck across the crease, and a dangerous sequence. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar has good movement laterally. Skating speed is good. Shifty player, which you like to see in the smaller players. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar still learning the smaller man's game. Trying to hit but hasn’t figured out how to leverage larger players out of the play, but angles are good. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar tips two pucks on the PP, one on net. Small and feisty. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Connor Dewar | Note | Dewar with a shorthanded attempt. Like his compete level, and when mixed with his very good skating, has made a number of dangerous plays in the offensive zone. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Connor Dewar | Summary | Dewar played well and was the a noticeable forward for Everett. Not the biggest player at 5’10, he was still active with physical play. Played well in high traffic areas, constantly in front of the net. Would have liked to see him with his stick on the ice a bit more if he is going to play this style of game. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Jake Christensen | Note | Christiansen scores on odd misplay at the blue line and Skoleski slides it over for a deflection to the back of the net past Hill. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Juulsen activates and a heavy shot goes over the net. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Juulsen is out every other shift. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Juulsen just smart. Subtle plays, defensively calm. So much better in person. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Noah Juulsen | Summary | One knock on Juulsen is he has been passing the puck a bit much, could have carried into the zone a few times specifically tonight. Skating is excellent and on-ice awareness is as well. Pressure by forecheckers never phased him, impressive overall game even in the loss. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov plays smart. Moves to a good position to support the play both defensively and offensively. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov with a nice play to keep the puck in the zone as the penalty expires, then is in front providing a screen as the shot from the point comes in. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov shows good awareness on the PK. Pressured the man on the point and returned to position when the play moved. Has an active stick on the ice, both hands on the stick. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov’s puck protection skills draw a penalty. If he has some true offensive flair he could be much higher. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Patrick Bajkov | Summary | Bajkov is a player who has all the tangible skills but is missing the offensive ability to be considered a top prospect. Played hard tonight and was deployed in a variety of situations. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Rodrigo Abols | Note | Abols is a rough, plodding skater. Flat footed a lot of the time, not an active stick or position defensively. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Rodrigo Abols | Note | Abols gets a goal standing off to the right of the net. Hard to move a player of that size. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Rodrigo Abols | Summary | Abols looks like a big kid still getting used to being 6’5. His edge work is sloppy, but decent straight-line speed and ok stride. With questionable skating, he needs to keep his feet moving. A few times he was caught coasting when a burst of speed to provide an outlet or support the puck would have been a better decision. | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Yan Khomenko | Note | Yan Khomenko walks in, nice hands to get a chance on hill. Comes back on backcheck and lifts a stick. Nice shift | Zachary DeVine | Everett vs Portland (WHL) | 2/12/2016 | 2/12/2016 | 10038 |
Daniel Zaar | Note | Zaar has some fast mitts. Able to do some great things with the puck at speed and under pressure. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Daniel Zaar | Note | Zaar skates well, good acceleration. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Daniel Zaar | Note | Zaar with aggressive and effective forechecking | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Daniel Zaar | Note | Blasted a shot right past Binnington for his team leading 12th goal. Heavy shot. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Daniel Zaar | Note | Zaar also plays the point on the PP for the Monsters. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Daniel Zaar | Note | Zaar to Bjorkstrand nearly makes it 3-0 | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Daniel Zaar | Summary | A player that I have been high on since his draft year, it is excellent to see Zaar developing as he has, realizing the talent that was seen in him early. He is adjusting fine to North American play and his skating is much improved, but could still use attention. Above average two-way game and a heavy accurate shot matches with a puck handling skills in traffic and under pressure. Still will need time in the AHL, but likely ahead of the curve as far as development. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Dillon Heatherington | Summary | The 50th overall pick of 2013 draft, Heatherington isn’t going to light up the scoreboard and he hasn’t at any level of play. But at 6’2 and 220 pounds, he is a sizable stay-at-home defenseman. Defensively astute at only 20 years of age, he logs big minutes for Lake Erie including on the penalty kill. Clears the crease and boxes out forwards with authority. Solid skating and an active stick rounds out an impressive defensive package. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Ivan Barbashev | Note | Barbashev blocks a heavy shot. Totally sold out on the block. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Ivan Barbashev | Summary | Barbashev plays a very North American game. Does everything well overall, defensively aware of his assignments, plays well in a team system. There isn’t a glaring hole in his game talent-wise. Development can be considered on track. The knock has been inconsistent efforts at time and this appeared to be one of those games for him. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Oliver Bjorkstrand | Note | Bjorkstrand needs to add muscle. The men in the AHL give him trouble, but his vision and skills are still able to be displayed. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Oliver Bjorkstrand | Note | Bjorkstrand muscled off the puck twice on the same play. It’s a pattern. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Oliver Bjorkstrand | Note | Bjorkstrand poke checked by Binnington at the last possible second. Danced through two Wolves defenders for a dangerous chance. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Oliver Bjorkstrand | Summary | Bjorkstrand exhibits excellent vision on the ice with a mixture of situational awareness and puck skills. His skating ability is an asset to his game and has acceptable size, but had a few instances when knowing better how to use his frame would have benefited him. Still figuring out the nuances in the professional game, but will likely challenge for ice time in Columbus soon. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Sonny Milano | Summary | Milano is constantly moving. Either to an open area to receive a pass, into a scoring position, a likely rebound area or just doing well finding open ice to help his squad. He is moving up the boards as far as talented prospects to watch and in all probability moving to the top of the Blue Jackets prospect list. Milano has taken big steps this year and improvement is noticeable. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Ty Rattie | Note | Needs to keep his feet moving, he isn’t a great skater, and when he is flat footed, he isn’t helping. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Ty Rattie | Note | Rattie with a sharp angle chance to snap the puck in, Theissen gets a skate blade on it. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Ty Rattie | Note | Rattie is a smart player, plays on the PP and the PK, has had chances. Could likely be in the NHL if his skating was just average. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Ty Rattie | Note | Rattie nearly wraps around the net but Thiessen again barely saves it. Rattie could easily have two goals in this game. Offensive skills not a question. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Ty Rattie | Summary | The issue with Ty Rattie has always been his skating, which now--five years after his draft year--is best described as passing. No one can doubt his smarts or his hands. Any time he is near the net, he is dangerous. At 23 years of age, he has been passed by younger Blues prospects, but in 11 NHL games in the 2015-16 season has posted 5 points. If his skating can continue to improve and not expose him, he likely will get a serious look at the Blue training camp ahead of the 2016-17 season. | Zachary DeVine | Chicago vs Lake Erie (AHL) | 2/11/2016 | 2/11/2016 | 10037 |
Andreas Johnson | Note | Johnson responsible and aware on the ice. Skates well. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Andreas Johnson | Note | Johnson has had a few nice passes in the first half of the game, nothing much has come of them. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Andreas Johnson | Summary | Good skating overall. Moves quietly to the soft parts of the ice, stays open to support the play. Johnson is a player that you don’t always notice, as the subtle things he does denote good hockey sense that isn’t flashy. Can see how his vision and skating can translate to a North American game. His ten points in twelve SHL playoff games was only okay when you compare that to the 25 he put up last year. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Noticed a few instances now where Puljujarvi isn’t possessing the puck at speed. Lots of mishandles. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Puljujarvi skates hard to negate an icing call. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Puljujarvi gets up to speed in a few strides, good acceleration. Physically he is having a hard time playing against men. He is in constant motion, making it hard for defenders. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Puljujarvi with a backhand pass to the slot, right to the activating defenseman. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Puljujarvi can’t beat the defender as he circles the net to exit defensive zone, turnover in the neutral zone | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Puljujarvi with a gaff defensively, allows Frolunda attacker to take the puck hard at Aittokallio. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Puljujarvi’s body position along the boards doesn’t eliminate the player. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Note | Puljujarvi’s body position in the corners needs attention. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Jesse Puljujarvi | Summary | Puljujarvi's worst game in all viewings. Just couldn’t get going, the puck often rolled off his stick and he simply looked clumsy when called on upon to make a play. One game doesn’t move the needle, but this was a noticeable off day. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Miro Aaltonen | Note | Aaltonen is a quick skater. Acceleration is key part of his game. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Miro Aaltonen | Note | Aaltonen playing some tough defense. Backchecking hard, picking up his man and making himself known. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Miro Aaltonen | Note | Aaltonen with a nice backcheck, might have saved a goal. Defensively is fighting for position. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Miro Aaltonen | Summary | Solid game for the Ducks prospect. Skating and puck handling is excellent. Aaltonen has always had the skill, but with a few years in Liiga has now matured physically, as well. He has been consistently putting up points and looks ready to play in North America. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Sami Aittokallio | Note | Aittokallio plays way out on top of his crease. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Sami Aittokallio | Note | Unlucky second goal, it will count against Aittokallio but it shouldn’t. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Sami Aittokallio | Note | Aittokallio comes way too far out. Aggressive is one thing, but he’s 6+ feet from the goal line. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Sami Aittokallio | Summary | One-time farm hand of the Colorado Avalanche now on loan, Aittokallio is aggressive to a fault. Angles are good, but plays beyond the top of the crease. Was good enough in this game, but can’t see that translating. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Sebastian Aho | Summary | Aho is a smart hockey player. Looked good all game, smart PK shifts, as well. Wasn’t a huge part of the championship game, but solid play for three periods in a high-stakes game is a skill itself. | Zachary DeVine | Karpat vs Frolunda (SHL) | 2/8/2016 | 2/8/2016 | 10036 |
Chad Krys | Note | Krys defensively is an adventure. Hard time staying on his skates, not effective in his own zone, often out muscled and out competed for ice. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Chad Krys | Note | Krys gets another turnover that leads to a breakaway, Woll saves the bacon. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Chad Krys | Note | Krys is danced around again as he makes an ill-advised play for the puck at his blue line. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Chad Krys | Summary | Continue to have questions about defensive awareness of Krys. Not seeing a lot of inspired offensive skills that an undersized defensive prospect will need to translate to higher levels. More viewings are needed to really see the defensive side. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Clayton Keller | Note | Bellows backhands puck and the goalie saves it, but Bellows sees the puck on top of the goalie's pads and hits the pad to knock the puck in. Good awareness. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Clayton Keller | Note | Keller accelerates well, quick first steps. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Clayton Keller | Note | Keller dances around at the blue line and gets the puck to the winger. Quick hands and feet on that play | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Clayton Keller | Note | Keller drops to Bellows, Bellows shoots and Joey Anderson cleans up the rebound on the sharp angle. “Law Firm” line strikes again. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Clayton Keller | Note | Keller fearlessly holds the puck in and gets the puck to Bellows for a good shot, GB defenseman with a perfect screen | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Clayton Keller | Note | Keller loses some key defensive draws late, played well overall. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Clayton Keller | Note | Keller winning a lot of draws. All stick skills are top notch | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Clayton Keller | Summary | Keller was the straw the stirred the NTDP drink all night long. Keller is able to see the ice and impact his teammates with his vision and hockey sense. Skating is quick and shifty, allowing him to change angles and distribute the puck. Quick release on his shot as well. Size will be a question mark at 5’10 and 168 pounds, but has the vision and shiftiness where he could compete with more muscle and same size. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Joseph Woll | Summary | Woll tracks the puck well and moves laterally very well. Squares up quickly. Woll is very economical in his movement. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Kieffer Bellows | Note | Bellows plays with a lot of emotion and heart. Talent to go with grit and compete level. Love his play in the first viewing. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Kieffer Bellows | Note | Bellows races back after Krys fumbles puck on the right side. Hard, powerful strides | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Kieffer Bellows | Note | Bellows takes another penalty. Not a very smart one. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Kieffer Bellows | Summary | Keiffer Bellows is the USHL version of Matt Tkachuk. He is in the traffic areas, quick hands, decent skating, but just a hard nose that is always pointed at the net. Good but not great skater. Has the intangibles of a power forward. Motor was solid and compete level was notable as well. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Ryan Lindgren | Note | Lindgren doesn’t get turned around in time, poor decision. Joey Maroni with the goal. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Ryan Lindgren | Summary | Lindgren was solid throughout the game. Had a few mistakes defensively but was aware of his responsibility and was in position for the most part. Tools are there at a decent level, as well as serviceable size. | Zachary DeVine | Green Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL) | 1/30/2016 | 1/30/2016 | 10035 |
Alex DeBrincat | Summary | DeBrincat has three whacks at the puck on a shift and nothing to show for it. Whatever he is doing in Erie never shows up when I watch. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Alex DeBrincat | Note | Had three options on the powerplay, and he chose the worst possible play available to him | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Alexander Nylander | Summary | Not Nylander's best game, by far. He looked like he was fighting the puck all night, and lost several opportunities as the puck skipped, rolled or bounced away from him. A game he'll want to forget, but the skill is all there. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jack Kopacka | Note | Kopacka with a nice drop-pass to Hajek for a chance on net. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jack Kopacka | Note | Kopacka has good wheels. A few times I have noticed his skating in the 1st period. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jack Kopacka | Note | Kopacka again with a nice play, having a solid first period. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jack Kopacka | Summary | Solid skating ability and a number of smart, low-risk plays made. Simple game, but contributed well to his line. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | So calm with the puck on his stick, even when hounded by two of his league's best players | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jakob Chychrun | Summary | At times Chychrun was the best player on the ice, controlling the tempo in his own end and making plays in all three zones. His game went a long way to cementing his place as the top defenseman in the draft. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Chychrun exhibiting his usual tight gap control and active stick. Top three defenseman in this draft class for sure. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Chychrun ties up two forwards near the crease and bats the puck back into the corner. Elite. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jakob Chychrun | Summary | A subtle, but effective game for Chychrun, most expected him to dominate but he simply played well. His game is a two-way style and that was certainly on display. Offensive ceiling isn’t as a high as some others, but the floor is much higher as well. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jordan Kyrou | Note | Kyrou with a nice assist on the Ronning goal. Excellent pass. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jordan Kyrou | Note | Jordan Kyrou having a good first period. Active in all zone and making some heady passes. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jordan Kyrou | Note | Day carries through the neutral zone and passes to Kyrou who whips a cross ice pass to Brown who ties the game. All three players with awesome plays on that goal. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Jordan Kyrou | Summary | Kyrou had the primary assists on both goals for Team Cherry. His strong skating was a handful for Team Orr defenders and exhibited good vision as well. Utilized his teammates well in all zones, which has not always been the case with him. Strong three-zone game from Kyrou overall. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Libor Hajek | Summary | Hajek’s defensive game is excellent. Not much on the offensive side, but a good pairing for some of the offensively-minded rearguards. Hard for the defensively-minded defenseman to be recognized but Hajek knows what his game is and plays within it. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Logan Brown | Note | Logan Brown playing hard, competing hard on each play. Consistency from shift to shift I have not seen from him often this year. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Logan Brown | Note | Logan Brown has multiple burrs under his saddle this game. Skating hard, corner work is very good with his hands and huge frame. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Logan Brown | Note | Day carries through the neutral zone and passes to Kyrou who whips a cross ice pass to Brown who ties the game. All three players with awesome plays on that goal. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Logan Brown | Summary | Brown is a player I have been critical of due to maddening, inconsistent efforts during periods that would extend into entire games. The BMO game showed what this talented, pro-sized winger can do when he commits to a 60-minute effort. Skating, hands, size, speed and shot, there is a lot to like about the tools he possesses. However, the level of commitment must match tonight's effort if he is to maximize his talent. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Logan Stanley | Note | Stanley with a poor choice to step up on the fleet-footed Michael McLeod. Needs to recognize opposition. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Logan Stanley | Note | Logan Stanley need to work on his skating. Not fast nor quick. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Logan Stanley | Note | Logan Stanley out of position on the PP, puck is able to be cleared easily. Later in the shift crosschecks Logan Brown for a dumb penalty. Rough start for the towering defenseman. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Logan Stanley | Summary | Stanley had a rough game, the small and shifty players on the ice didn’t have much trouble with him. Foot speed is an issue for Stanley. He needs to work on his agility and acceleration. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Markus Niemelainen | Note | Heavy, heavy wrister from the blue line, but it takes a long time for him to release it | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Markus Niemelainen | Summary | Big shot that requires a lot of time to wind up. Not the best performance from him tonight as at times he looked like the speed of the game was a bit overwhelming for him. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Markus Niemelainen | Note | Niemelainen not impressive. Isn’t making good defensive zone plays. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Markus Niemelainen | Note | Niemelainen makes a decent play then follows it up with a number of head scratchers. Does not seem to be processing the game at its current speed. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Markus Niemelainen | Summary | The one player I thought who had a bad game overall. Defensively lost, the smooth skating defenseman was exposed on a number of plays. It is his first year in North America, but more has to have been expected of him. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Showed it all tonight. Fast, nasty, talented, big. He is his father's son. Power forward in the making with everything you need in a forward. Top pick worthy on every front. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Summary | The scoresheet does not reflect the impacts that Tkachuk made on the ice tonight. At times it seemed like he was controlling the game with sheer willpower, and at others just dazzled with his puck skills. On paper, the best scoring potential in this draft class. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Blows an early two-on-one by waiting too long to do anything and simply ran out of space and time | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Flashes his elite speed to get to the slot, but the shot was not dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Michael McLeod | Summary | All of McLeod's game was on display tonight, superb skating and work ethic, and his lack of top-level finishing skills. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Logan Stanley pinches in a poor choice and Michael McLeod gets a chance on Carter Hart. Hart out-waits McLeod and nothing comes of it. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Michael McLeod | Note | McLeod is blazing fast. Elite speed. One wonders if he is too fast, as he doesn’t seem to be able to generate anything with it as far as offense. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Michael McLeod | Note | McLeod picks Jake Bean of the puck and get the puck to the net. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Michael McLeod | Summary | Elite skating, speed, and edge work will make McLeod dangerous each time he hops over the boards. Possibly the fastest skater in the draft, he seems to be too fast for his own good. The brain is not processing the game as the speed his feet will take him. Offensively, not a huge threat, but capable. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Note | Sergachev playing the right side as a left-handed defenseman. Still highly effective, calm and able to whip the puck around in the offensive zone on the off-wing. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Note | Sergachev catches McLeod with his head down a bit, breaks up the play with a solid check. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Summary | Sergachev played his Windsor game to a T: rock solid defensively, possessing a hard, heavy shot from the point, physically committed to the game and controlling play from the back end. A live viewing of Sergachev was a treat, there is a lot he does that you have to watch him in person. Easily a top 15 pick for me. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Makes a mistake with a flubbed pass at the offensive zone blue line, but quickly moves back into position and breaks up the oncoming rush. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Olli Juolevi | Summary | So good in transition, and looked confident in the defensive zone. Puck skills are advanced and he showed why he is likely the best offensive defenseman in the class. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Juolevi toe drags the puck right at the blue line to evade a forward rushing at him, slides the puck over the Hajek for a shot on goal. Confident play. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Olli Juolevi | Summary | Playing for the powerhouse London Knights and scoring nine points as the top defenseman for the gold medal winning Finns, there isn’t much left to wonder about the merits of Juolevi’s game. Well rounded, excellent skater and deft touch with the puck. Vision in both ends is high-end. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pascal Laberge | Note | Quick release results in his second goal, but Dubois made the play with his initial assault on the net | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pascal Laberge | Note | Laberge has been noticeable early in the game. Skating is very good, changes speeds easily. Does need to add some meat. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pascal Laberge | Note | Laberge uses DeBrincat as a prop, gets around him and shoots the hell out of the puck ripping a shot past Sawchenko. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pascal Laberge | Note | Laberge from Dubois on the PP. Great shot by Laberge | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pascal Laberge | Note | Dubois and Laberge both with lackadaisical defensive coverage on that play. For all the offense they are creating, they are giving up some chances as well. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pascal Laberge | Summary | Simply the most dangerous man on the ice all night, Laberge lifted his stock considerably with an instant chemistry with Pierre-Luc Dubois. Laberge flashed a quick release and poise with the puck. Defensively work is needed, as Laberge was turned around a few times and was not marking his man well coming back. Defense can be taught. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Nice hit to win a puck, then turns and fires a tricky shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Impressive shift in the offensive zone. Makes a hit, disrupts the play, uses an active stick, throws another hit, creates a takeaway, then makes a heads-up pass with great weight to the slot for a prime scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Again just driving the play around him. Draws a penalty. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Summary | Dubois commanded this game from his first shift on the ice. Tenacious, fluid, always making something happen. Showed off his skills several times including a sick deke that left Sean Day spellbound. Dubois was seventh on my draft list coming into this game, and may challenge Nylander for fifth overall. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Dubois splits the defense, Fitzpatrick stays with him for the save. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Dubois and Laberge both with lackadaisical defensive coverage on that play. For all the offense they are creating, they are giving up some chances as well. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Note | Dubois intercepts Abramov’s pass, drives the net, dishes a behind-the-back pass to Laberge, who passes back to Dubois for a goal. Wow. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Pierre-Luc Dubois | Summary | An amazing game from the left winger, finishing with 1G, 2A and a threat all night. Vision is excellent. A player that seemingly does everything very well, and it’s hard to pin-point a glaring weakness. He is moving up many draft boards and it is well deserved. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Samuel Girard | Note | Trying to make something happen, but he seems to be playing a little past his limits and it's making him sloppy | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Samuel Girard | Summary | Girard showed off a lot of potential with his quickness, ability to make quick reads and deliver the puck, but he looked like a player that needs time to polish his impressive skills. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Sean Day | Note | Literally shrugged off a hit from Laberge, who then bounced off of the big defender and fell to the ice, while Day looked down at him. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Sean Day | Summary | Played like a first-round pick for most of the game, showing off his skating and puck handling abilities, but mental lapses are still his biggest issue. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Sean Day | Note | Sean Day makes a subtle play with a quick stick check on Nylander, end of offensive play. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Sean Day | Note | Day playing solid defensively. Not cheating on his assignments and controlling play in front of the net. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Sean Day | Note | Nice play by Day, carrying through the neutral zone, moves to the center of the ice for a great chance on net. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Sean Day | Note | Day carries through the neutral zone and passes to Kyrou who whips a cross ice pass to Brown who ties the game. All three players with awesome plays on that goal. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Sean Day | Note | Day has made a number of plays on the puck with his feet. Kicking the puck up to his stick, or having an attacker tied up and kicking the puck out of danger. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Sean Day | Summary | Sean Day is a player I love to watch but is an absolute enigma to peg as a prospect. His skating and vision are excellent but some shifts he simply seemed content to take his turn and not contribute to the effort on the ice. He is the very definition of a boom/bust prospect. He will either sort out his head or he won’t. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Ty Ronning | Note | Shows good hands and agility to net the first goal. Great balance on one foot to pivot and gain puck control at the top of the crease. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Ty Ronning | Summary | Feet were moving constantly and he caused trouble all night long by creating havoc in the neutral and offensive zones. Hands kept up with his play, too, and could have had another goal or two. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Ty Ronning | Note | Ronning in front of the net shots on goal, Hart can’t control the rebound, puck comes back to Ronning who buries it. Good hardworking goal. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Ty Ronning | Note | Ronning not afraid of high traffic areas despite his size. Good complete level. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Ty Ronning | Note | Ronning dishes the puck to Chychrun who blasts it off the iron. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Ty Ronning | Note | Ronning’s skating is high level. Shifty at speed, changes directions easily, acceleration, good edges. Love it. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Ty Ronning | Summary | A late substitution for his injured teammate, Ronning was the lowest rated prospect at the game but seized the opportunity and certainly played like he belonged the whole time. Skating with Steele and Abramov, his line was the most dangerous for Team Cherry all night long. His skating was exceptional and played with edge and drive. His goal was on his own rebound, staying in the traffic areas even though not the biggest player on the ice by any stretch. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Abramov showing some quick and skilled hands behind the net. Defenders will rub him into the boards and he still seems to exit with the puck. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Abramov doing it again, buzzing around the offensive zone and dishes to Ronning for a scoring chance. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Starting to think that it is physically impossible to knock Abramov off the puck. Everyone is trying, and he keeps coming away with the biscuit. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Vitalii Abramov | Note | Abramov creating on nearly every play. Both Ronning and Steele get chances with Abramov distributing the puck. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Vitalii Abramov | Summary | Abramov is a small, left-handed right winger with a motor in the offensive zone that is impressive to watch. The 5’9 frame that should have a hard time, seems to have checks and physical plays simply not affect him and more often than not, escapes with the puck. Defensively not as interested, but his skating and shifty edge work suggest this area can be improved upon. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Will Bitten | Note | Bitten is very fast in a straight line. Quick acceleration. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Will Bitten | Note | Bitten has a big motor and high compete level, working hard. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Will Bitten | Note | Bitten is forcing his line mates into chances. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Will Bitten | Summary | Bitten played hard and fast all night long. While not registering on the scoreboard, his efforts, compete level and high-end motor showed well. Did not take a shift off and worked hard. Needs to add muscle to his frame for his game to be more effective. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/28/2016 | 1/28/2016 | 10034 |
Brett Murray | Note | Murray has a choppy first couple of steps. Gets up to speed well and can keep up with the play but not quick off the draw. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Brett Murray | Note | Murray is a big kid but not good on his feet, it is holding him back as this game goes on. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Brett Murray | Note | Murray not showing a lot of refinement or possession skills. Raw player. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Brett Murray | Summary | While only one game, Murray did not help himself. Skating was a major red flag and he was always caught by the speedy West defenders. Played smaller than his 6’4, 196-pound frame would suggest. A long-term project, there are a number of holes that would need to be addressed. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Brinson Pasichnuk | Note | Pasichnuk plays with flair and sand, a bit of Joe Hicketts in him. Quick steps and power in those legs. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Brinson Pasichnuk | Note | Pasichnuk can get moving in a hurry. Quick acceleration, especially when cruising. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Brinson Pasichnuk | Note | Pasichnuk makes a mistake following Searles around the net and it leads to a goal for the East. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Brinson Pasichnuk | Note | Pasichnuk looking gassed, watching him suck air, losing some of the edge I liked in the first period. Continually deployed on the right side as a left-handed defenseman. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Brinson Pasichnuk | Summary | Impressive game for the 2017 University of Vermont recruit. Played well overall, but really shone with his constant pushing of the attack and ability to use speed to separate from forecheckers or to catch them. Showed good vision and played much bigger than his listed 6’0 height. Also impressed with his ability to play well on the right side as a left shot. Needs refinement but a number of good tools in the tool box. Could be a late round gem for someone. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Colin Grannary | Note | Grannary with a dirty goal on the third shot. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Colin Grannary | Note | Grannary has been all over the puck and making chances happen. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Colin Grannary | Note | Grannary again, causing trouble and creating chances. Hard worker. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Colin Grannary | Note | Grannary misses Fabbro cruising in from the point, would have been a glorious chance. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Colin Grannary | Note | Colin Grannary is the West Player of the Game. Only goal for the side, in the mix constantly. High compete level and V8 motor. Excellent game for the young man. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Colin Grannary | Summary | Deserving of the Player of the Game Award, Grannary was a fine mix of skill, tenacity, speed, and desire. Noticed on the ice nearly every shift, created scoring chances offensively for himself and teammates. Needs some help defensively, but forechecking was smart and effective. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Colton Point | Summary | Botiz and Point co-MVP’s for the East, allowing 1 goal on 44 shots and being under siege most of the night. Defensive talent was stacked on the West, East didn’t have much to work with but the goalies did very well. Point has issues with rebounds and some chunky movements, but battles hard. Drops his glove, a bit of Potvin glove position. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Dante Fabbro | Note | Fabbro didn’t even have to try to catch Murray. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Dante Fabbro | Note | Fabbro plays angles very well defensively. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Dante Fabbro | Note | Fabbro’s edge work is good. A right-handed defenseman, his reads have been solid early. Active and not cheating. Hands are advanced for this game. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Dante Fabbro | Summary | Excellent two-way defender with skills and hands but also an understanding of his defensive responsibilities. Remained poised under forecheck pressure. Talented with the puck and excellent puck handling skills, but was too cute with the puck at times. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Dennis Cholowski | Note | Cholowski showed good awareness, joining the rush then tracking back to cover the crease as Murray was out playing the puck. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Dennis Cholowski | Note | Cholowski evades the forecheckers well, both as he comes out and in the corners. Was lined up a few times but sidestepped and got the play up the ice. Cholowski the most impressive defenseman thus far. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Dennis Cholowski | Note | Cholowski draws a penalty by making his opponent miss a hit and drag him down. First PP of the game. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Dennis Cholowski | Note | Cholowski with his first intercepted pass at the 13 minute mark of the second. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Dennis Cholowski | Note | Cholowski fools the crowd, had Botiz beat but it was on the side of the net. Everyone has seen his performance and the “ahs” were earned, even if the puck didn’t go in. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Dennis Cholowski | Note | Cholowski with a jailbreak pass to 10, Botiz closes the pads. Great pass. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Dennis Cholowski | Note | Cholowski catches Murray who has a open look at the empty net and gets a stick blade on it. Kid having the game of his life. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Dennis Cholowski | Summary | Easily the best player in the game in my viewing. Cholowski displayed all tools you would want from a top defenseman. Nothing was lacking in his game at all tonight, showed exceptional defensive zone awareness and positioning, possessed the puck well in the neutral zone and made many heady plays and nearly had a goal whilst playing opposite Fabbro. Needs to add muscle badly, but high hockey IQ kept him from taking any big hits and was always calm, nothing seemed to rattle him. Set to play for St. Cloud State in 2017. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Michael Botiz | Summary | Botiz and Point co-MVP’s for the East, allowing 1 goal on 44 shots and being under siege most of the night. Defensive talent was stacked on the West, East didn’t have much to work with but the goalies did very well. Point has issues with rebounds and some chunky movements, but battles hard. Drops his glove, a bit of Potvin glove position. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Jost has quickness in all areas of his game: stick, skates, hands, vision | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Jost had a fast release, comes from all angles. Shoots mid stride, hard to pick up. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Jost sees things no one else is able to, surprises his own teammates at times. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Jost gets to the danger areas to shot. Will take a hit to get into a higher percentage shooting position. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Tyson Jost | Note | Jost hits the post, then gets on his horse to deflect a centering pass in the defensive zone. Team is feeding Jost hoping he can make it happen. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Tyson Jost | Summary | Electric player with the puck on his stick. Release is like lightning and shoots from all angles with high velocity. Showed good grit, often cutting to high-percentage areas before unleashing his shot. Skating is very good as well, with quickness that matches his hands. Held off the scoreboard, but had a pair of posts. Tried to get others involved, but didn’t seem to mesh with his line mates. | Zachary DeVine | CJHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/26/2016 | 1/26/2016 | 10033 |
Eetu Laurikainen | Note | Laurikainen not a large goalie but stays big. Positionally doing well, lateral movement a bit choppy, but adequate. Getting the job done. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/18/2016 | 1/18/2016 | 10032 |
Eetu Laurikainen | Note | Laurikainen positionally can’t do anything wrong in this game. He is stopping everything he sees. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/18/2016 | 1/18/2016 | 10032 |
Eetu Laurikainen | Summary | Laurikainen is just another goalie prospect out of Finland, also known as the worlds goalie factory. Plays a positionally solid and quiet game with little wasted movement despite standing only 6’0. Tracked the puck well and exhibited good reflexes when called upon. Only 22, his impressive statistics posted in the WHL and Liiga warrant a careful watching of his development. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/18/2016 | 1/18/2016 | 10032 |
Joakim Ryan | Note | Poor defensive awareness and players are routinely getting wide on him for dangerous chances. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/18/2016 | 1/18/2016 | 10032 |
Joakim Ryan | Summary | In his first professional season, Ryan continues to have issues in the defensive zone. Positionally he has trouble with gaps tight and seems to allow more forwards to cut to the middle than his peers. Has to be considered a long-term project at this point. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/18/2016 | 1/18/2016 | 10032 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Mueller drove the net with authority and the crashing forwards got three whacks at the puck. Good play by Mueller and smart | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/18/2016 | 1/18/2016 | 10032 |
Mirco Mueller | Summary | Mueller was largely invisible for the first two periods before activating in the third. Long-term development is underway, has to play with more authority and his passive play and soft passes and reads are not helping a weak defensive core. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/18/2016 | 1/18/2016 | 10032 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Summary | Overall a decent effort for Goldobin. Continues to force passes to fellow forwards, often extremely low percentage plays. Always going for the home run pass. This often leads to turnovers and hard hits by defending skaters. Watching Goldobin, the talent is evident, but the finer points of the game escape him and he doesn’t seem interested in addressing them and modifying his game to be successful. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/18/2016 | 1/18/2016 | 10032 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Emanuelsson is playing a solid game, picking up two assists. Skating hard and playing smart. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/18/2016 | 1/18/2016 | 10032 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Emanuelsson again getting something started for the Cuda, Laurikainen has just been better today. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/18/2016 | 1/18/2016 | 10032 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Summary | A very well-rounded game by Emanuelsson who finally seems to have his feet under him in the last dozen games or so. Emanuelsson is learning the nuances that will make his successful in North America. When his call-up happens, he might not come back. Could do with a bit more shooting, as he has a good shot and release. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/18/2016 | 1/18/2016 | 10032 |
Chris Bigras | Note | Bigras with great move out of the zone at 17:40 of the 1st. Quick change of directions, eludes the hit and keeps the puck moving up the ice. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Chris Bigras | Note | Bigras good positioning and tight gaps. Left shot. Okay size, but uses it well. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Chris Bigras | Note | Bigras tries on the blueline and 2-on-1 results: Goldobin passes over Haley's stick, no shot. Later in the shift, hooks and gets caught. Tough shift. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Chris Bigras | Note | Bigras has very good crossovers and moves laterally exceptionally well, gets over to his man immediately. Big skill he uses for his solid gap control. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Chris Bigras | Note | Broken play. A scrum at the SA bench, leads to a 3-on-1 with Bergman racing back after standing up for teammates. Bigras with a great onetimer to beat Grosnick knee-high glove side. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Chris Bigras | Summary | Bigras has continued to develop his solid, two-way defensive play. Not one to shy away from responsibility on either end of the rink, he displays defensive acumen as well as offensive capability. Showed a rounded, well-polished game that is nearly ready for the show. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Julius Bergman | Note | Mueller and Bergman deployed together for the first time that I have noticed this year. They looked good together! Would like to see more of that. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Julius Bergman | Note | Bergman showing some sand in this game. Needs a bit more weight to back it up, but I like the add to the toolbox. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Julius Bergman | Summary | Bergman continues to develop. Tonight's game showed what he can do when properly prepared and his head is in the right place and his feet moving. Needs to consistently bring that, as the talent is there, now the will and work needs to be added every night. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Julius Bergman | Note | Bergman saves a goal, effectively tying up the attacking forward | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Note | Jevpalovs good work in the drives the net, havoc and whacking as 40 curls and gets the puck to the net. Haley knocks it in. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Summary | Jevplovs needs to read the offensive play a bit better and get into the soft parts of the slot. He works hard, but the lack of offensive contributions is a concern. Might be looking at a third-line ceiling for him if he can’t bring a more consistent offensive presence. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Nikita Zadorov | Note | Zadorov with back-to-back defensive zone starts, then is forechecking? Skating is fluid and excellent. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Nikita Zadorov | Note | Blown coverage and lackadaisical play by Zadorov to not rotate over and allows Lerg to break down the left wing and score. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Nikita Zadorov | Note | Zadorov loses Goodrow in the front and nearly a goal. Defensive coverage, positioning and overall play in the backend has been below par. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Nikita Zadorov | Note | Zadorov with good confidence carrying the puck out, stickhandling and overall stick work is above average | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Nikita Zadorov | Note | Zadorov has had to recover a number of times due to poor positioning. Not creating or causing havoc, just perpetually out of position. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Nikita Zadorov | Note | Another instance of good stickhandling by Zadorov. Not a fan of his game thus far, but his ability with the lumber cannot be questioned. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Nikita Zadorov | Note | Zadorov allows Goodrow and Emanuelsson to skate around him | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Nikita Zadorov | Summary | Zadorov might not know he is a defenseman. Skating and stickhandling is excellent and his vision is above average, as well. Zadorov however exhibited poor defensive play by every possible measurement. Lack of positioning, compete, lazy stick (except when he has the puck himself). He is highly effective in carrying the puck out of his zone, but will not be in the NHL playing like he did in this game. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin with an amazing sequence. Shoots, gets his own rebound, circles the net and roofs it over a well-positioned Hill from six feet. A high-skill play, the first I have seen live from him and it was worth the wait. | Zachary DeVine | San Antonio vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/9/2016 | 1/9/2016 | 10031 |
Cristoval Nieves | Summary | Nieves with assists on back to back goals. One on the PP to start the pass sequence, second was a nice backhand saucer. Exhibiting good vision and effective skating with an odd stride. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
JT Compher | Note | Compher walks in on the off-wing and MSU drops early. Great shot and shot selection by Compher | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
JT Compher | Note | Compher with a sick pass through the skates of the MSU defender exactly on the tape of Connor who buries it. Compher continues to feed Connor’s hot hand. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
JT Compher | Note | Compher again on the PP to Connor. Sees the ice very well. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
JT Compher | Note | Second goal for Compher, knocks in rebound on Connor’s shot. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
JT Compher | Summary | A great game for the senior center with five points in the contest including two goals. Compher and his line mates Kyle Connor and Tyler Motte were not often doing much defensively since they were constantly attacking the MSU net. Had a number of plays that displayed excellent vision and awareness in the offensive zone. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Kyle Connor | Note | Conner able to handle the puck effectively at very high speed. Fluidity in his hips and edge work allow impressive and elusive moves. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Kyle Connor | Note | Connor with another goal. Release is so quick. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Kyle Connor | Note | Connor changes angles with the puck quickly. Fast hands and excellent edge work. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Kyle Connor | Note | Connor with fantastic vision and selfless play to get a pass through three defenders to Motte. Dominating performance by that line. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Kyle Connor | Note | Connor with a wicked release and a lot of power behind it as well. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Kyle Connor | Summary | Connor is currently tearing up the Big 10 and having an excellent season. Matching his line mate JT Compher with two goals and three assists, Conner landed five shots on net. Creative and dangerous throughout the game, the offensive capability of Connor cannot be overstated, averaging to date 1.7 points per game as a 19 year old. Needs to add muscle, but at 6’1 Connor has the frame needed in the professional ranks, where he will be soon. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Mason Appleton | Note | Appleton pushes the offensive zone face-off into the corner, MSU gets possession and Appleton floats to the off-side and one-times it in. Impressive shift. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Mason Appleton | Note | Appleton again contributing to the MSU goal, protects the puck in the corner against two Wolverine defenders, pass to the point. powerplay goal is the result and it started with Appleton. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Mason Appleton | Note | Appleton working the point on the PP, distributing the puck well. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Mason Appleton | Note | Team is down by 5 and Appleton still working very hard. Good compete level on each shift, noticeable. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Mason Appleton | Summary | Appleton stood out as the player who simply worked hard on every shift despite the score. High complete level, solid motor that kept going all night, he was trusted as a Freshman to man the right point on the power play. Appleton finished the night with a goal, an assist and five shots. MSU is having a rough season, but the Jets 6th-round pick is tied for the team lead in points. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Zach Osburn | Note | Osburn with a powerplay goal laser. Fifth of the season for the Frosh. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Zach Osburn | Note | Osburn overcommits to the attacking MU player, allows Werenski to get a clean look on goal which results in a goal. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Zach Osburn | Note | Osburn keeps his feet moving and looking for opportunities to support the play in the offensive zone. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Zach Osburn | Note | Osburn can start running around in the defensive zone. Better reads in defensive zone are needed | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Zach Osburn | Note | Osburn was impressive offensively and not a liability in his own end. Constantly moving around the ice, keeping his feet moving towards soft areas in the offensive zone and using good skating and angles to get back to his defensive assignment. Undersized at 5’10 but was able to deal with the larger, heavier Wolverine skaters. Passed over in 2015, might be a dark horse to take a late-round flier on. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Zach Werenski | Note | Werenski often takes his time patiently waiting for a lane to open to get the puck on net. Not something that always shows on a stat sheet but smart plays. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Zach Werenski | Note | Werenski activates and snaps a hell of a shot home. Doing work in all three zones. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Zach Werenski | Summary | Werenski’s calmness in all situations is exceptional. No panic in his game, knows his assignments, thinks and sees game at a high level. Werenski takes very long shifts. His effectiveness is muted due to the time he gets, he must moderate his energy expenditure. If he was playing NHL-length shifts, his numbers would likely be more impressive. | Zachary DeVine | Michigan vs Michigan State (NCAA) | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10030 |
Alex DeBrincat | Summary | DeBrincat continued to make a case for being both a first-round draft pick and a third-round draft pick. His offensive skills are excellent, but he does not seem to engage in the game enough, and the hockey sense is questionable. At his size, he must improve in both of those areas or he will remain the biggest risk/reward player in the 2016 class. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10029 |
Pascal Laberge | Summary | Capitalized on his line mate Dubois's disruptions all night by showing off his exceptional wrist shot and ability to make plays in traffic at the net. Once he builds some size onto his frame, could become a dangerous top-six winger. | Zachary DeVine | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | 1/8/2016 | 1/8/2016 | 10029 |
Julius Bergman | Summary | Bergman with another assist, stick is much more active than in the last few viewings. Moving his feet more in the defensive zone. Needs more of this to contend for a NHL roster spot. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Note | Klimchuk knocks home a rebound to make it 1-0, just waiting in the dirty areas, exactly what he needs to go. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Summary | Klimchuk needs to be a bit more greedy with the puck, seems to defer the shot when a line mate is beavering his stick to the ice. Needs to read the ice and make the best play and not just quiet a teammate. Allow the skills to shine! | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Note | Jevpalovs missed chance on the 2-on-1 at 15 minutes. Needs to get the puck across or shoot. Inexcusable to lose it like that on a clumsy touch. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Summary | A very invisible game for Jevpalovs. Had one golden chance and muffed it. Offense isn’t translating of late, a sign to watch. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin and Tierney matched up. First shift Tierney nearly centers a pass to Goldobin in the slot. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin centers the puck to a Heat forward and the ensuing scramble gets the puck poked behind Stalock | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin with only three shifts in the third period. If your coach in the AHL doesn’t trust you when you are trailing in a one-goal game, not sure if that is a good sign. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin not put out on the PP, down by 1 goal, last 2 minutes of play. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin with the game winner. Finally out for a shift and ends it in Overtime with a good shot. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Summary | Goldobin is an enigma. Less than a handful of shifts in the third period and on the bench when the game is on the line in the final minutes. Finally gets a shift in the overtime and buries it on a great shot. Goldobin has been playing better with Chris Tierney sent down, but a player of his talent and skills has to be able to create on his own as well, not sulk and play a half-assed game. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington back out, drawing some heavy offensive zone minutes. Nice two-line cross ice pass to break #48 in on net with a chance. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington tries to bank the puck up the boards and not get hit but it leads to a turn over to Lerg who centers to McCarthy. Bad play by Kylington. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Oliver Kylington | Summary | A quiet but effective game from Kylington tonight. Heavy minutes with some offensive zone sheltering. Still like his play, but the weight room better be his home this summer. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 1/6/2016 | 1/6/2016 | 10028 |
Alex Nedeljkovic | Note | Neds is undersized but reflexes and recovery are top notch. and a CALF SAVE!? wow. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10027 |
Colin White | Note | White drives the net and gets a good lick on Samsanov, who was shaken up a bit earlier. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10027 |
Ilya Samsonov | Note | Samsonov overplays the puck laterally and is constantly sliding out of position instead of coming out at the shooter. Its very odd to see. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10027 |
Ivan Provorov | Note | Provorov and Kamanev driving the RUS PP bus. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10027 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Supposed to be talented and skilled and it isn’t shown here, looks oafish in this game | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10027 |
Sonny Milano | Note | Milano flying in the first period. Another chance by his line in the last minute of the first | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10027 |
Sonny Milano | Note | Milano still awesome, Bjork fans on centering pass but Dvorak was driving the back post. USA goal | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10027 |
Yegor Korshkov | Note | Korshkov has both goals I think, both have been ugly scrums in front of the net. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10027 |
Zach Werenski | Note | Werenski might be hurt. Not skating well, not pivoting, lack of urgency with the USA down by a goal and 16 minutes left. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10027 |
Aleksi Saarela | Note | Saarela goes crashing into England on the forecheck who has to take a penalty to keep him at bay. Another good game by Saarela | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Aleksi Saarela | Note | Saarela has a good complete level. Goes into corners, does a lot of the dirty work | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Aleksi Saarela | Note | Saarela is flying early and the best chances for the Finns coming from his stick. Draws a penalty to get the big line on the nice and joins them on PP1 | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Dmytro Timashov | Note | Timashov able to go toe to toe with Puljujaruvi in the possession game at 7:45 of the 2nd. Impressive ability to hold off the bigger man with more reach and leverage. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Dmytro Timashov | Note | Timashov has some of the of best possession skills in the tournament. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Gustav Forsling | Note | Frosling hasn’t been the player I thought as he was supposedly the skill set Oliver Kylington would have brought to the team. Has a superior, offensive defensemen skill set, but Kylington has a stronger possession game to get the puck actually up the ice. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson | Note | JFK mixing it up in all zones, working his butt off this tournament and this game in particular. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Kasperi Kapanen | Note | Kapanen caught looking at the puck and Timashov whips a 60-foot pass across the crease to Aspaerson for the goal. Good pass and vision. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Linus Soderstrom | Note | Soderstrom looking very strong early. Movement is crisp and seeing the puck well. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Mikko Rantanen | Note | Rantanen is waking up. Dishes the puck from behind the net again to Kalapudas and Rantanen gets into a perfect screen for Kalapudas who snaps the puck past Soderstrom. Rantanen now with a goal and assist | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Mikko Rantanen | Note | Rantanen with a pass to Roppe Hintz to tie the game. Good to see Rantanen create something and get just his third point of the tournament. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Juolevi is playing amazing well tonight. Defensively completely alert and drawing heavy minutes in the defensive zone starts. PK time against the Swedes is as hard as it gets. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Patrik Laine | Note | Laine is a good skater, on the level of Puljujarvi. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Sebastian Aho | Note | Swedes are marking the Aho line playing man defense on them and some of the chippy stuff to let Laine, Aho, and Puljujarvi know it will be a long night. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Vili Saarijarvi | Note | Saarijavi needs to close the gap on attacking forwards, giving too much space to enter the zone with a dangerous Swedish team. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Vili Saarijarvi | Note | Saarijavi is a good skater, offensive defenseman small in stature but talented. 5’9 165 pounds played last 2 years in North America (USHL and now OHL) | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016) | 1/4/2016 | 1/4/2016 | 10026 |
Adam Huska | Note | Huska getting very little help, but playing steady as he has all tournament. Looking tired. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Slovakia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10025 |
Adrian Kempe | Note | Kempe with great poise as the stick check knocks the puck off his stick, quickly regains and uses that lethal release to beat Huska. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Slovakia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10025 |
Axel Holmstrom | Note | Holmstrom’s game has been very strong. Skating now average, last 90 seconds takes on two defenders and determined stick handling and tenacity result in a chance. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Slovakia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10025 |
Christian Jaros | Note | Jaros with a jailbreak pass for a great Slovak chance, Soderstrom drags the back leg and puck dribbles wide. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Slovakia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10025 |
Dmytro Timashov | Note | Timashov always doing something on the ice to get the puck on the Slovak net. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Slovakia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10025 |
Dmytro Timashov | Note | Timashov has his way on his shift from 8-7 minutes left in the 2nd. Fearless with the puck, the space the Slovaks are giving him as well gives Timashov ample time and space to do nearly anything he wants. Timashov has the skill to do it as well. Great possession game on display and a big part of the Swedish effort. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Slovakia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10025 |
Gustav Forsling | Note | Forsling more of a shooter for an offensive defenseman. This type of player is often associated with a puck distributor, but Frosling shoots more, but gets it on net so it is not worrisome. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Slovakia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10025 |
Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson | Note | JFK’s feet are moving, throwing a lot of puck into high traffic areas. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Slovakia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10025 |
Jens Looke | Note | Jens Looke with a nice backhand to Ehn waiting back post. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Slovakia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10025 |
Linus Soderstrom | Note | Soderstrom looking sharp on infrequent chances. Announcers state a .943 SV% for Soderstrom in this tournament. | Zachary DeVine | Sweden vs. Slovakia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10025 |
Brandon Hickey | Note | Brandon Hickey blows a tire on a pivot and allows Kalapudas to come in 2-on-0 and bury it. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Brendan Perlini | Note | Perlini is having a terrible tournament and this might be his worst game of it. Penalties and dumb play is his hallmark. Never liked his game, like it less now. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Dylan Strome | Note | Strome playing like his last game on earth. Love it. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Dylan Strome | Note | Strome with a great steal. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Kaapo Kahkonen | Note | Kahkonen now in net and on his first save shows how much better his lateral movement is than Vehvilanien. Gets post to post with ease. Deflected shot is fought off, two good saves to start. HUGE reach back save. Kahkonen looking much better in this game. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Kasperi Kapanen | Note | Kapanen and Hintz both miss the open net after lucky play by McKeown | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Mackenzie Blackwood | Note | Blackwood fails to seal the short side, Saarela throws it back and it finds the space on his knee. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Mathew Barzal | Note | Barzal is the 6th skater, can’t believe he was almost left at home. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Mathew Barzal | Note | Barzal has been the best Canadian player in the tournament. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |

Niko Mikkola | Note | Niko Mikkola has had two cross-ice passes picked off. On the second and the Stevens, Quenville, Konecny make them pay after the wide Chabot shot. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Juolevi has been a solid player but will have to do ever more. Deployed against Strome and making sure he knows he is out there. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Olli Juolevi | Note | Juolevi walks the puck down the left wing, fakes three Canadians to the ice and over to Kapanen for the shot and Nattinen chips the rebound home. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Patrik Laine | Note | Laine and Puljujarvi are getting hit early and often. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Patrik Laine | Note | Laine with a huge cross-ice jailbreak pass to Puljujarvi who cuts in for the shot and Aho cleans up the trash. These guys are so good. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Roland McKeown | Note | McKeown has been very good defensively. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Sebastian Aho | Note | Aho is criminally underrated as a part of the top line for the Finns. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Chabot out on the ice with the game on the line. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Veini Vehvalainen | Note | Vehvailanin’s lack of lateral movement exposed on first goal. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Veini Vehvalainen | Note | Vehvalainen has lost track of the puck twice, one was a goal, other was dangerous. | Zachary DeVine | Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10024 |
Alexander Dergachyov | Note | Dergachyov’s skating is weak, not much of a stride. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Alexander Georgiev | Note | Georgiev is an amazingly aggressive goalie, plays outside of his crease the majority of the time. Fantastic movement and is quick set and square to the shooter. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Alexander True | Note | True is a big guy with a good release and a heavy shot. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Artur Lauta | Note | Lauta with a solid goal right off the face off. Dergavchyov gets the puck across for the tying goal. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Damir Sharipzyanov | Note | Sergeyev and Sharipzyanov get the nod in the offensive zone quite a bit. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Dimitri Sergeyev | Note | Sergeyev and Sharipzyanov get the nod in the offensive zone quite a bit. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Ivan Provorov | Note | And again in the OT, Provorov has so much skill, simply took over the game at the end to shut down the Danes. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Ivan Provorov | Note | Provorov with another defensive zone start. Board work is solid and simple, keeping the attacking forwards off the puck and neutralized. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Ivan Provorov | Note | Provorov’s game is ready for the NHL, physically he can handle or manhandle anyone. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Ivan Provorov | Note | Provorov’s pass to Lauta, Lauta fans on the shot which is deflected to Kamanev who snaps it home. Hard sequence for Lille. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Jonas Rondbjerg | Note | Rondbjerg nearly with a breakaway, does a good job shielding the puck for the young man. 2017 draft pick to watch. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Jonas Rondbjerg | Note | Rondbjerg playing responsibly for a 16 year old. Defensively playing the Danes system and seemingly in position to keep the Russians on the outside. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Markus Jensen | Note | Markus Jensen with another goal, quick transition by all Dane forwards to protect the net and get going the other way. Artur Lauta allowed Jensen to get open for the goal, blown assignment and the Danes take advantage. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Mathias From | Note | From drives the net at 13:50 of the second period, much like his drive in the first but again individualistic effort. That won’t work in the pro ranks at any level. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Mathias From | Note | From with a big individual effort and dangles through Provorov. Would be a much better player if he wasn’t such an individual out there and used his talent to bring up teammates. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Mathias From | Note | From with his 3rd end-to-end rush. I think it is a set play to get the offensive zone face off and frankly it is working. He does not care if it is 1-on-4, he is going at the net and so is the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Thomas Lille | Note | Lille has had mediocre recovery numerous times in this tournament. Very good reflexes and tracks the puck well. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Thomas Lille | Note | Russia swarming but Lille holding down the fort. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |

Yevgeni Svechnikov | Note | Svechnikov has to be viewed as a disappointment in this tournament. High-end talent and not a single point through 5 games and largely ineffective. | Zachary DeVine | Denmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10023 |
Alex Nedeljkovic | Note | Nedeljkovic projects very well, quickly gets set, not much wasted movement. Lateral quickness the best in the tournament. | Zachary DeVine | Czech Republic vs. USA (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10022 |
Anders Bjork | Note | Bjork has improved his play in each game. Started as a 4th liner and his good play has seen him receive increased ice time. | Zachary DeVine | Czech Republic vs. USA (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10022 |
Auston Matthews | Note | Matthews doesn’t look like the same player as he was against CDN and SWE. Something could be wrong, likely sick or hurt early and now rounding into form. | Zachary DeVine | Czech Republic vs. USA (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10022 |
Jiri Smejkal | Note | Smejkal for the Czech Republic is a gamer. Turned away on a breakaway in the 2nd period. Big motor, made a kick save early in the 3rd in a game he’s down by 6 which shows a compete level not dictated by score. He was heavy on faceoffs, a lot to like on this young man. Was not drafted in 2015, back into the pool in 2016 and a player to highlight. | Zachary DeVine | Czech Republic vs. USA (WJC 2016) | 1/2/2016 | 1/2/2016 | 10022 |
Dario Meyer | Note | Dario Meyer with a goal, WHL presentative. A bit of a lucky goal, but the Swiss are making their own luck. Swiss are outworking Canada noticeably. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |
Dario Meyer | Note | Meyer hustles back to get a SH chance, Marner was gassed. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |

Denis Malgin | Note | Malgin dangerous each time he is out on the ice. Head is up the entire time. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |
Denis Malgin | Note | Malgin set up Rod again cross ice. Head on a swivel. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |

Joe Hicketts | Note | Timo Meier buried by Joe Hicketts. Hicketts is 30 pounds lighter and 5” shorter, and lights up the much larger player. Hicketts loves the rough stuff. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |
Lawson Crouse | Note | Crouse with centering pass to a breaking Joe Hicketts who buries it. Van Pottelberghe being beaten over the shoulders both goals one to each side. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |

Mathew Barzal | Note | Barzal continues to be a force for the Canadians. Last forward added and easily one of the top 3 forwards on the squad in terms of performance. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |

Mathew Barzal | Note | Barzal playing heavy on defense, as well. Leans in and swipes the puck at the 13 minutes mark with Swiss pressing. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |

Noah Rod | Note | Rod levels Konecny, has blocked a few shots, doing a lot of dirty work in this game. Does what it takes on his shifts. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |
Noah Rod | Note | Rod with a powerplay goal. Might have gone in off Hicketts (again) He is the second coming of Dino Ciccerelli. Great shot to get it on net, Malgin with the cross-ice pass. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |
Rourke Chartier | Note | Chartier off the Barzal line and the line immediately loses something without sandpaper and net presence Chartier provides. Barzal still driving possession. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Chabot carries into the zone and dumps to Strome with a perfect shot by Strome. Van Pottelberghe went down early and Strome’s perfect shot cuts the lead in half. Bad goal for the Swiss to give up. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Chabot having a great, well-rounded game so far. On PP2 and a few intelligent defensive reads and has activated twice in good positions to do so. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |
Thomas Chabot | Note | Chabot jumps into the play at 16:30 for a flurry of activity. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10021 |

Alexander Polunin | Note | Alexander Polunin flies up the left wing, cuts to the middle and gets the Belarussian goalie moving across the crease. | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs. Belarus (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10020 |
Alexander Polunin | Note | Alexander Polunin has been noticeable in the 2016 tournament. Now with his second goal in as many games. Russia’s PP is having its way with the Belarussians. | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs. Belarus (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10020 |
Ivan Provorov | Note | Provorov dancing on the blueline and changes the shooting angle. | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs. Belarus (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10020 |

Maxim Lazarev | Note | Fantastic puck movement by the Russians on the PP to get Lazerev open on the back post and he snaps it home halfway through the first period | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs. Belarus (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10020 |
Maxim Lazarev | Note | Lavarev has decent skating, stride is a bit short but the hands and confidence with the puck are high end. | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs. Belarus (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10020 |
Vladislav Kamenev | Note | Kamenev with a great effort in on the left boards to create a turnover and get the puck back to the point. Kamenev's goal after tipping in Provorov’s shot | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs. Belarus (WJC 2016) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10020 |
Daniel Altshuller | Note | Altshuller likes to keep the puck moving. No problem playing the puck thus far, a few times he could have slowed play down. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Daniel Altshuller | Note | Altshuller moves well around the crease, plays right at the top. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Daniel Altshuller | Note | Altshuller drops his glove a bit and can slouch when hugging post on one knee. Would like to see him keep a better upright posture. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Daniel Altshuller | Note | 4:30 left and Altshuller with a great reaction left pad save after a deflected shot. Then a sprawl to block the rebound. Great sequence, solid positioning, good reflexes. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Daniel Altshuller | Note | A scramble in front of the Checkers net and Altshuller went to poke check the puck but did not keep his body straight and it got chipped over his shoulder. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Daniel Altshuller | Summary | Daniel Altshuller is a prospect whose rise from reach pick to solid prospect has been the result of hard work. A number of scouts and writers have taken note of Altshuller in the past few years. After solid numbers in his second ECHL season, was called up to the Checkers and did not look out of place in this viewing. Pro sized at 6’3 and 205 pounds, displayed high end reflexes and puck tracking. There are a few technical issues that need sorting out, but a goalie to keep an eye on as he develops. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Erik Karlsson | Summary | The other Erik Karlsson is often muscled off the puck, but skates well. He does not have the taste for North American physical play and seemed out of sorts all night. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Mirco Mueller | Summary | Mirco Mueller with a number of ill-advised handcuffing pass to his partner. Area of concern as this keeps happening game in and game out. His skating will only carry him so far, his vision on the breakout is lacking and needs a great amount of development. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Note | Jevpalovs not creating much but is engaged in the game with some good banging and crashing. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Summary | Nikita Jevpalovs shows good ice awareness. Often looking around the ice to make sure he is in defensive position, marking opposing forwards. In a game he was not helping the offense, Jevpalovs made sure he was not a liability for the Barracuda. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Summary | Petter Emanuelsson needs to be a bit more patient. He has a good shot, but rips it off every chance. Has had time and space and not used it. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Ryan Murphy | Note | Not sure if it has been two misfires, but Murphy does not seem to shoot the puck hard at all. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Ryan Murphy | Note | Murphy with good read to intercept pass and get over to his winger for a one-timer. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Ryan Murphy | Note | Murphy has had some interesting defensive positioning all game. It has not hurt him yet, but bad habits. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Ryan Murphy | Note | Murphy lacks intensity in his play, passes are sloppy and seems to be sluggish. Slow release on snap and wrist shots, there is not much mustard on his shot. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Ryan Murphy | Note | Lots of sheltered minutes for Murphy. It has been noticeable. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Ryan Murphy | Note | Murphy with a weak board play allows the Barracuda into the zone with 30 seconds to go in the 3rd. Soft. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Ryan Murphy | Summary | Ryan Murphy is a project as a NHL defenseman. Offensively creative, but a questionable shot and soft passes. Was sheltered in his zone starts, and did not display a compete level of a player of his reputation. Needs to display a professional game based on hard work to mix with his talent to get into a full-time NHL job. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Sergi Tolchinsky | Note | Tolchinsky is built like a tree stump. First shift strips the puck for a dangerous chance after circling around the net after deking two Cuda players. Then takes a big hit from Carpenter and is shaken up. Looks taller than the 5’9 I have heard/read about him. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Sergi Tolchinsky | Note | Tolchinsky just did it to the Cuda. Streaking down the right wing, the left shot beats everyone for a mini breakaway, cuts to the center and plain beats Dell with the quick release to the blocker side. Good play, better shot. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Sergi Tolchinsky | Note | Quick and shifty, was able to get away from a hard charging Stollery | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Sergi Tolchinsky | Note | Tolchinsky not out on PP much, seems he would be an ideal PP candidate. His first few steps quickly get him up to attack speed. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Sergi Tolchinsky | Note | Tolchinsky with a perfect pass from behind the net to the breaking Jake Chelios for a one-timer past Dell. Mueller caught looking. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Sergi Tolchinsky | Note | Tolchinsky not sent out on the SO, again odd. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Sergi Tolchinsky | Summary | A player that was not drafted but signed as a UFA with the Hurricanes, his development can be characterized as on track. Sergi Tolchinsky returned to the Greyhounds and had another solid season in his draft +1 year. Looking bigger and thicker than his 5’8” and 170 pound listed stats, Tolchinsky is transitioning well into the professional game. | Zachary DeVine | Charlotte vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/29/2015 | 12/29/2015 | 10019 |
Alex Nedeljkovic | Note | Again looking solid, good tracking, steady. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10018 |
Alexander Nylander | Note | Fortunado, Belpedio and Schmaltz all lost Alex Nylander. That can’t happen. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10018 |
Alexander Nylander | Note | Nylander hasn’t been out much due to the barrage of Swedish penalties. USA has more PP SOG than Sweden has shots. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10018 |
Anders Bjork | Note | Bjork with a great shift at the 4-minute mark. Doing a lot out there, lots of energy, staying in his lane and doing his job. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10018 |

Charlie McAvoy | Note | McAvoy needs to shoot/get it at the net. Three times in the first he has over-passed. Getting in good positions, needs to have faith in his mitts | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10018 |
Colin White | Note | Colin White attacking shorthanded with under a minute left. What doesn’t this kid do? Stud. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10018 |
Colin White | Note | White is a player for this tournament. Taking a beating in front of the net, allowing Milano and Dvorak to work their magic and getting numerous chances. Loving his game. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10018 |

Linus Soderstrom | Note | Linus Sodorstrom is playing the best I have seen him. Positioning is very good and he’s moving well in the crease. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10018 |

Matthew Tkachuk | Note | I do not like Tkachuk with Matthews. they are not clicking offensively. Swap Colin White in there and see what happens. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10018 |

Lawson Crouse | Note | Crouse parks on the back post and gets a goal that Konecny centers. | Zachary DeVine | Canada vs. Denmark (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10017 |
Mathew Barzal | Note | Barzal again, this time with a very patient play to go with a wicked snap shot over the glove of the Danish goalie. powerplay goal assisted by Chabot and Hicketts. | Zachary DeVine | Canada vs. Denmark (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10017 |
Mathew Barzal | Note | Canada’s 14-13-21 line is buzzing. playing hard and shooting, cycling, doing it all. Why aren’t the other three lines playing like this? Isn’t this the 3rd line? | Zachary DeVine | Canada vs. Denmark (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10017 |
Mathias From | Note | From and True combine for a very Canadian goal. Using speed and skill, circle the net, a perfect pass from From to True with a clean shot. Crouse and Hicketts both caught looking | Zachary DeVine | Canada vs. Denmark (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10017 |
Mitch Marner | Note | Marner and Point are holding the puck and masterfully navigating the offensive zone and not a shot to show for it. | Zachary DeVine | Canada vs. Denmark (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10017 |
Mitch Marner | Note | Marner roofs the puck short side. Strome shows great poise with the puck and a perfect pass to Marner. | Zachary DeVine | Canada vs. Denmark (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10017 |
Rourke Chartier | Note | Chartier might be the only Canadian that got the “shoot the puck” memo. | Zachary DeVine | Canada vs. Denmark (WJC 2016) | 12/28/2015 | 12/28/2015 | 10017 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Poirier needs to get involved. He’s a passenger early. Scramble in front with lots of shoving and he just watches. I hate that and it is not the book on him. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10016 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Poirier not skating well tonight, must be injured. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10016 |
Emile Poirier | Summary | Not a good viewing for the speedy winger. Was not engaged in much of the play tonight. The hallmark speed of Poirier’s game was absent and thus nothing really came of his ice time. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10016 |
Joni Ortio | Note | Ortio makes the first few saves, his defense and collapsing forwards cannot help, puck finally goes in. He should have had the first shot, poor rebound control there. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10016 |
Joni Ortio | Summary | Joni Ortio is regressing after last year's successful venture across the pond. He has been pulled in two of three viewings this season. Technically sound, good movement, good reflexes. He needs to be patient with the opportunities presented to him, still young at 22, there are a number of years still available to him for further development. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10016 |
Julius Bergman | Summary | Julius Bergman not looking good, a number of poor plays, playing off attacking forwards. Finished with an assist and +2 but not one of his better viewings on the defensive side of the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10016 |

Oliver Kylington | Summary | Oliver Kylington might not have had a offensively powerful game, but his defensive play has been positionally correct and responsible. Was a minus three on the game but that had more to do with the all around poor game played by the Heat. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10016 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Emanuelsson again with a hardworking, dirty goal. Good low shot from Young at the point and he takes two whacks to get it past Ortio. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10016 |

Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Creative shift by Petter at 3 minutes left in the 2nd that draws a penalty. Playing hard and smart tonight, last three games have been very strong efforts for him. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10016 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Summary | The last few weeks Petter Emanuelsson has been playing with vigor and purpose. Above average skating and good vision. A versatile forward, he is both defensively responsible but offensively creative. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10016 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Emanuelsson is on his horse tonight. Great motor evident, feet are moving and he is driving the net | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10016 |
Alexander True | Note | Alexander True is a big, big boy. Player for the Seattle Thunderbirds, 18 points in 30 games so far for Seattle. Skating needs some help but sees the ice well | Zachary DeVine | Norway vs. Switzerland (WJC 2016) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10015 |

Mathias From | Note | Matias From with a goal! Nikolaj Krag Christensen drives the middle of the ice and a sweet dish over to From who buries it. Danes driving play in the third period. Short bench of the Swiss is catching up with them and it shows. | Zachary DeVine | Norway vs. Switzerland (WJC 2016) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10015 |
Noah Rod | Note | Noah Rod with another deflection, maybe something to this kid. Great hand/eye coordination, right in front of the net, willing to do a bit of dirty work. Might have been too hard on him. Forehand yesterday, backhand today. | Zachary DeVine | Norway vs. Switzerland (WJC 2016) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10015 |
Noah Rod | Note | Rod doesn’t mark his man and allows Rondberg behind him for a fairly dangerous chance with the Dane swarming. | Zachary DeVine | Norway vs. Switzerland (WJC 2016) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10015 |
Pius Suter | Note | Pius Suter doing a good job thus far, Meier on his wing, who needs to slow his game down. | Zachary DeVine | Norway vs. Switzerland (WJC 2016) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10015 |
Pius Suter | Note | Suter has such good anticipation. Has picked off a number of passes with good anticipation and play reads | Zachary DeVine | Norway vs. Switzerland (WJC 2016) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10015 |
Soren Nielsen | Note | Soren Nielsen with his second goal of the game, but first that counts. Both were great shots that beat von Pendleberge glove side. Jonas Roendbjerg, who caused the waived off goal, with a nice play to get Nielsen streaking down the left wing. Danes rewarded for a hard, solid effort. | Zachary DeVine | Norway vs. Switzerland (WJC 2016) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10015 |

Thomas Olsen | Note | Thomas Olsen for Norway is a nice mix of skating and size. Noticed him on a few plays flying up the wing, on a team that worked hard, his efforts were even more noticed. | Zachary DeVine | Norway vs. Switzerland (WJC 2016) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10015 |
Timo Meier | Note | Meier is throwing the puck around. Not taking a look, he’s being lazy and careless with the puck. Lack of vision is now a very real concern of mine. How much of last year was Ehlers carrying him? | Zachary DeVine | Norway vs. Switzerland (WJC 2016) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10015 |
Timo Meier | Note | Timo Meier with two low percentage spin shots. Needs to slow down and see his options. Often being deployed with Suter. | Zachary DeVine | Norway vs. Switzerland (WJC 2016) | 12/27/2015 | 12/27/2015 | 10015 |

Alex DeBrincat | Note | DeBrincat works his ass off. Looks like Matthews' baby brother on that line, but earning a full share. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Alex Nedeljkovic | Note | Nedeljkovic has been the difference. Kept the USA in it until the team could settle down and get their feet under them. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Alex Nedeljkovic | Note | Neds' movements are so quick. NHL-level recovery. Giving USA a chance when they are being outplayed. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Alex Nedeljkovic | Note | Nedeljkovic standing tall in the last minute. Closed the door to any idea of a Canada comeback. Solid game from him, USA could go far with him playing like that. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Anders Bjork | Note | Bjork needs to slow down his game, making rash decisions. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Auston Matthews | Note | Matthews isn’t really skating hard at all in this game. Looks disinterested. Needs a motor installed. Talent without complete level is wasted. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Auston Matthews | Note | Matthews looks like a grown man out there. Quiet in first 7 minutes | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Auston Matthews | Note | Tkachuk and Matthews with very sloppy passing so far in this game. Wilson needs to see who else works with Matthews | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Brandon Carlo | Note | Carlo had a rough shift with 6:30 left in the 2nd | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Brandon Carlo | Note | Carlo has been a steady presence in the back end so far. A number of subtle but safe breakout plays. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Brandon Carlo | Note | Carlo holds his own, solid defensive play thus far. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |

Colin White | Note | Dvorak, Milano, White have been the best line for USA with good zone entries and much better passing/vision than the other lines | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Colin White | Note | Milano’s shot is wide and White is crashing. Nice dirty goal with a good dose of hard work. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Dylan Strome | Note | Strome comes back and is rightly rewarded for being the strongest Canadian player of the game. Hard wrist shot after Marner gains and drives the zone. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Dylan Strome | Note | Strome having a good overall game, Hicketts is fearless. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |

Joe Hicketts | Note | Joe Hicketts with a few hits to establish the game, interesting he wasn’t suspended after the Aho Incident. High-end motor and physical play despite small stature. Plays 6 inches and 30 pounds heavier. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Louis Belpedio | Note | Belpedio playing like a different player in the 3rd, unrecognizable from him in the 1st | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Louis Belpedio | Note | Belpedio poorly plays a 2-on-1, Krys screws ups Neds recovery, just bad by those two. Both look amazingly outclassed. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Louis Belpedio | Note | Belpedio shoots the puck on net and Joe Hicketts deflects the puck past MacDonald. Cost USA a goal then gets one. MacDonald had it tracked and ready to make the right handed catch. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Louis Belpedio | Note | Belpedio with a clumsy dump and later in the same shift has the puck easily knocked off his stick into the neutral zone. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |

Louis Belpedio | Note | I am not a fan of Louis Belpedio’s game halfway through the first. Looks out of place. A number of turnovers, physically and talent-wise outmatched. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Mathew Barzal | Note | Barzel is buzzing this period, matches well with Chartier | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |

Zach Werenski | Note | Werenski slapper dribbles through MacDonald after Point deflects it and Matthews taps it in. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Zach Werenski | Note | Zach Werenski with a quick release wrist shot that gets through a triple screen. No Chance for MacDonald, never saw it | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Canada (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10014 |
Alexander Nylander | Note | Obviously shows many traits as his brother, William. Vision is excellent, sees and feels the ice very well. Both of them are so good, lots of similarity in their games. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10013 |
Axel Holmstrom | Note | Skating is much improved. Hands and vision have always been there. Might be felony theft by Detroit picking him in the 7th round. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10013 |
Denis Malgin | Note | First viewing of this player, but is highly talented. Excellent in possession of the puck, calm play under pressure. Smart and excellent hands. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10013 |
Dmytro Timashov | Note | Ball of effort and talent all game long. pushed possession all game long. Shifty good skater, didn’t take many big hits. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10013 |
Linus Soderstrom | Summary | Linus Sodorstrom (18 Shots, 15 Saves) Should have had more saves. Not sharp in this game, Felix Sandstrom had a stomach bug and overall belief is Soderstrom got the start because of it. Had a few good stops but two of the goals exposed his poor lateral play that was a knock on him coming into the tournament | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10013 |
Timo Meier | Note | Lack of high-end talent was visible in this game with the Swiss team obviously outmatched, but his 2-way game and elite level motor and compete level was there all game long. | Zachary DeVine | Switzerland vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | 12/26/2015 | 12/26/2015 | 10013 |
Barclay Goodrow | Note | Ryan with a shot pass off the active SJ boards and Barclay Goodrow gets it home. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Barclay Goodrow | Note | Young scores, broken play, everyone did their job, just one of those things. Kylington did a nice job tying up the forward, but Young comes in from the point. Goodrow started it with some mucking in front of the net, another point for Goodrow. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Barclay Goodrow | Summary | Barclay Goodrow with another strong viewing, leading the Barracuda offensively and physically. He has finishing ability but his AHL game must be modified for him to have success at the NHL level. However, his physical play does translate exceedingly well and Goodrow could be a useful third-line player in the NHL soon. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Poirier playing the point on the PP, rips one that Grosenick didn’t see but went wide. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Poirier gets blown up looking at his own mistake. More Q badness in his game | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Poirier needs to do the little things: seal the backside boards, stick on the ice, not cheat up ice. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Emile Poirier | Summary | Poirier continues to get a lot of experience at the AHL level, but issues that were seen last year and earlier this year continue. Poirier needs to commit to improvement in his game. Until he does, he will continue to be a very good AHL player with spot call-up duties. If he can work on his game and commit to the play needed at the NHL, he could be a second-line player. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Joni Ortio | Note | Ortio flashes the leather, made some solid saves early, Cuda pressing. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Joni Ortio | Note | Ortio is an old school goalie, staying upright on post-to-post moves with authority. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Joni Ortio | Note | Orito recovers quickly and keeps a scramble for the puck from becoming dangerous. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Joni Ortio | Note | Ortio with a huge reach-back save after Kylington and Morrison allow a give-and-go across the goal mouth. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Joni Ortio | Note | Haley with a breakaway goal that Ortio stopped, popped over him and he stopped again and his defenseman pushed over the line. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Joni Ortio | Summary | Ortio’s game has taken a half-step back this year. Where last year he could steal a game and had a swagger to his play, that is missing this year. Technical ability is there, but the head seems out of it. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Mueller does it again and handcuffs Cundari with a reverse behind the net. Looks scared to carry the puck. With his skating he NEEDS to be carrying the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Mirco Mueller | Summary | The same issues continue to dog Mirco Mueller. His decision making was below his already low standards. Handcuffing his defensive partner repeatedly with the same play where attacking forwards have the book on him. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Mueller out for second time on the PK, matched with Stollery | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Mueller needs to take the puck around the net with authority. Too often he banks it to his partner in a questionable situation, handcuffing him. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Note | Klimchuk deployed on the PK, good wheels and always liked his complete level. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Note | Klimchuk and Poirier is a very fast duo. Like that combo. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Note | Klimchuk hounding Mueller and contributes to turn over. Poirier with a drive to the net, Mueller loses him and he buries it. 2-0 Heat. Poirier from Grant, Klimchuk with honorary assist. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Note | Klimchuk rewarded for a hardworking game with a PP goal. Crashes the net and whacks one passed Grosenick. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Note | Klimchuk comes in on the off wing and gets a puck on net, but the resulting goal waived off due to goalie contact. Liking his game today! | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Note | Klimchuk with a nifty play carrying the puck up the left wing, tow drag, cuts to net and draws a penalty. Has been a force all game. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Note | Klimchuk’s hustle and wheels have broken up a number of chances while generating chances on the other end of the ice. First viewing and he gets a gold star. A player to watch. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Note | Klimchuk’s wrap around chance goes through the crease and Carroll puts it home. Again, the wheels of Klimchuk creates. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Morgan Klimchuk | Sumary | With his first two points of his AHL career, Morgan Klimchuk was a force in this game. Wheels, vision, tenacity, defensive responsibility, he displayed it all. It was my first time viewing Klimchuk, but very excited to see him again and confirm the excellent skills and ability on display in this game. If there is consistency to this level of play, could be challenging for a NHL spot next year. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin’s lack of compete level will keep him from being any good. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Summary | Goldobin will never be a player of consequence due to his near zero compete level. You can deal with lack of physicality, hitting isn’t everything, but he isn’t going into traffic, competing hard for lose pucks, in the crease for positioning, etc. He’s a player that if it comes easy he can do something with it, and his talent will flash, but it’s the little things that make you a professional and he is not exhibiting those at the AHL level. This is my last entry on this player until something is shown that needs to be noticed. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin walks out and scores beating Ortio against the grain with a quick release. Kulak caught going the wrong way off the rush. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington on PP2 | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington’s skating is exceptional. Activates quickly and gets back with equal ease. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington with nice stick to drive Cuda player wide for a harmless shot. Same shift gets a hard one-timer on net, rebound kicks out and Grosenick with a monster desperation save. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington with good gap control on numerous plays in the second. A bit of muscle is all he needs but its a glaring deficiency at time. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington with quick activation and good shot on goal. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Oliver Kylington | Summary | Continue to be impressed with Oliver Kylington’s game. Consistency will be the issue for him, as he has a high level of skill but not much of a physical presence. He will need to develop physically to survive. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Emanuelsson out on PK | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Emanuelsson with a wicked snap shot beats Ortio far blocker side. Great shot! Last two viewings of him have really shown something. Goodrow with the assist. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Note | Emanuelsson works hard along the boards, digs and fights, positions himself well. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Petter Emanuelsson | Summary | Emanuelsson has really turned the corner in the last month after last year's terrible shoulder injury. Above average skating, good vision, good hands, solid defensive play, well rounded, three zone game. Has been seeing increased ice time as the season has progressed and is responding. A player to watch as the season continues, might be a call-up option later in the year and will challenge for a NHL roll next year. | Zachary DeVine | Stockton vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/20/2015 | 12/20/2015 | 10012 |
Daniel Muzito-Bagenda | Note | Skates well, but a few odd forced passes. Left shot playing left wing tonight. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Daniel Muzito-Bagenda | Note | Goes coast to coast, seems to get tunnel vision during plays | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Daniel Muzito-Bagenda | Summary | First time viewing this player, and he was very energetic with good speed and skating ability. Stick handling couldn’t keep up with what the mind was seeing on the ice, but an interesting blend of grit, speed and skill. Seemed to zero in on a play and lose situational awareness often. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Daniel Muzito-Bagenda | Note | Big, with big strides that generate better than average straight-line speed. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Daniel Muzito-Bagenda | Note | Offensive zone slashing penalty that wasn't in any way necessary | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Daniel Muzito-Bagenda | Note | Looks much bigger than his 6'1 listing. Thick. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Daniel Muzito-Bagenda | Note | Powered his way through the neutral zone, diagonal across the blue line, took the puck along the right-wing boards, powered through a defender and then lost the puck to Chychrun. Bagenda was all alone in the offensive zone and showed good possession and power. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Daniel Muzito-Bagenda | Note | Good powerful strides in puck pursuit. I want to see him finish some chances, though | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Daniel Muzito-Bagenda | Note | Shows good vision and soft hands with a nice saucer pass to a cutting D for a scoring chance | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Daniel Muzito-Bagenda | Summary | Plays the game like a train: solid and heavy with a lot of momentum, but often seems unable to jump off the tracks laid out in front of him. Showed good hands and touch, but never seemed like a real threat to score. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jack Flinn | Note | Flinn way out on top of his crease, looking confident and with some good saves tonight thus far. Twenty-third straight start | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jack Flinn | Note | Flinn likes to go down early and gets burned on the fifth goal. Needs to stay on his feet to get post to post quickly to seal the far side. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jack Flinn | Summary | Tonight was the 23rd straight start for the 6’ 8” goalie who has been having an excellent season for the Steelheads. I still am not a fan of his lateral movement tendencies. Needs to allow the puck to come to him and keep upright more. Played small tonight and it showed on the scoreboard. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | A fluid Skater, left-handed shot, good size. Slows the play down | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Standing there on the PP, want to see some more activation. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Plays look lazy, but its just completely calm and confident in his abilities. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Long stick. Uses it well, few good poke checks. Very smart player, positioning is very solid for a young defenseman as well. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Summary | A quiet game, but did everything right. A player you have to watch closely to get the nuances he is able to deliver. Immediately thought of Marc-Eduard Vlasic when I watched him the first time and I stand by that comparison. First game back after being a late cut on the WJC team, he could have pouted and instead turned in a solid, all-around performance. Top 15 pick. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Turns with ease. Solid agility | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Steady at the point on the powerplay. Well-managed play with the puck even under pressure from the penalty killers | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Beat Muzito-Bagenda with strength and determination behind his own net, then drove a breakout quickly up the right-wing boards. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Takes a hit to make a play, and was head-up to find the right outlet pass before the hit came. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Not at all afraid to go end-to-end and very adept at it. Dangled through three opponents and got off a good backhanded shot that caused trouble for the goalie | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Calm, easy breakout pass leads to an odd-man rush and goal | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Note | Another typical Chychrun play: puck carrier trying to move behind the Sarnia goal, and Chychrun uses multiple tools to seal off the skater, active stick to dislodge the puck, then stick defense covering the man out the front of the net and eliminating a scoring chance | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Jakob Chychrun | Summary | Chychrun is the complete package. Size, balance, agility, smarts, hands, energy and work ethic. He likely played 30+ minutes in this game without noticeable mistakes, and controlled the game at times. Chychrun could be a future NHL All-Star | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Matt Mistele | Note | Showing good hockey awareness, not cheating and playing a dependable defensive game half way into the first | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Matt Mistele | Note | Goal above was created by deft stickhandling by Korostelev to center Mistele crashed the net. Goal should have been waived off, though | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Matt Mistele | Summary | Had a goal and assist, but the goal should have been waived off. Was riding shotgun all night to Nikita Korostelev who i thought was carrying the line. Mistele could be a NHL player, but I don’t think he translates to more than a third liner. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Matt Mistele | Note | Took the puck through the middle from his own goal line to a step beyond his offensive blue line. Good handling, but had a better play to drop to Korostelev and instead took a long, useless shot that ended the play. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Matt Mistele | Note | Offensive shift ended with a nice hit to disrupt a breakout. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Matt Mistele | Note | Simply mishandled the puck in the neutral zone and let the puck drift off of his stick to the opposition | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Matt Mistele | Note | Gets a goal by driving the net and putting away a rebound. Puck went into the net because Mistele forced it with the goalies pad and should have been disallowed. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Matt Mistele | Summary | Nothing overly special from him in this game. A good hockey player, but not a lot of high-end ability. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Michael McLeod | Summay | Hard working and honest game out of McLeod again tonight. Speed and work ethic will get him far, and has the overall talent to be a contributor. Was the fuel for a team that was missing spark, but did all he could in this game. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Big, but good on his feet. Long strides that generate good top-end speed. Finished shift with a big hit along the boards. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Impressed with McLeod's skating. Great balance and edgework. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Michael McLeod | Note | McLeod can fly, but what else can he do? | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Finally uses his speed to generate a real chance | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Michael McLeod | Summary | McLeod is the type of player that makes coaches drool. World-class skating ability with a solid frame. What I didn't see in this game was the ability to turn those attributes into offense. Appears like a complementary player who needs to develop more aggressive scoring attitude. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Michael McLeod | Note | McLeod skates exceedingly well, drives the center of the ice and gets into traffic areas. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Looking good tonight, more confident stick handling vs. previous viewing | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Overplays the backcheck and allows a rebound goal after Flinn makes three or four saves. Lots of contact in the crease, can’t blame Flinn. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Keeps working hard even down by a handful of goals | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nick Hague | Note | Huge 2017 defenseman, needs a lot of seasoning in his play | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nick Hague | Note | When he's involved in the play, Hague shows good instincts, but he looks as if he is overthinking the play when he has more time | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nick Hague | Note | Tends toward making a hit instead of a sound defensive play | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nick Hague | Summary | Huge, but plays really young. Good instinctual play at times, but under duress made poor choices. However, he has time to get more settled into playing CHL over the next season before his draft year begins. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | sneaky quick. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Nice between the legs chance on net (PP) | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Nifty mitts but hasn’t generated much with them. Cute plays that are a touch too cute. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Circles around the net, protecting the puck and quick movements. Solid on his skates | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Drives the net well, teammates will get the puck and he will immediately head for a post. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Korostelev with a quick release coming in off-wing, shoots right into Flinn | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Another solid chance cruising through the slot and later in the shift gets in front to create screen. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Hits the iron with a wicked shot, then later in the same shift scores with a huge backhander. But the first goal actually went in, but a great shift either way. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Summary | Was the best player on the ice tonight. Creative, inspired play mixed skill around the net with the grit to drive the goal, as well. Quick hands and a good release, a lot of offense was created though Korostelev tonight. Will have to watch a closer game to see how he deals with a tighter checking game, but a steal in the seventh round for the Leafs. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Nice one-touch pass back to Mistele trying to create space below the goal line in the offensive zone | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Big powerplay shot from the slot on a one-timer | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Great puck handling through offensive zone traffic and a nifty backhand pass to the slot. Showing agility, stickhandling and vision, | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 12/19/2015 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Again with good hands and a tricky wrist shot | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Quick release is causing problems for the goalie | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Completes a two-on-one with a sick right-left move and a backhand goal, bar down. He had hit the post earlier in the shift with a nasty wrist shot. Turns out that the earlier post was actually in the net, so Korostelev pulled off a rare, two-goal shift. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Note | Really impressed with his vision and offensive instincts. Another great pass for a doorstep chance | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Nikita Korostelev | Summary | Dominated the game in the offensive zone and was easily to most dangerous player on the ice. Based on this viewing, I'm surprised that he dropped to the seventh round, so I'm left wondering what his flaws were that the scouts saw last year. Korostelev is a player who needs more viewings | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Sean Day | Note | Day with an undisciplined and dangerous play, lucky to only get two minutes | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Sean Day | Note | Day displays good vision and awareness. I like the blend he has of defense and offensive ability | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Sean Day | Note | Day chose the hit over the puck clear from the crease. Immature play showing up here in the third in a few minor ways. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Sean Day | Summary | Everything you have heard or read on Sean Day was on display tonight. Amazing skating ability, above average talent, fleeting interest in the game and a quick fuse that can hurt his team. I really like this player if he can ever get his head straight. | Zachary DeVine | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Sean Day | Note | Kept his cool after Hague badly misplayed a three-on-two. Day found the puck and moved it to his winger. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Sean Day | Note | Bad retribution hit, boarding called | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Sean Day | Note | Spent a defensive-zone shift where he looked like he was waiting for something to happen, instead of making something happen | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Sean Day | Note | Caught deep, chasing down a puck carrier but seemed unhurried in pursuit. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Sean Day | Note | Just not enough urgency in his game. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Sean Day | Summary | Has all of the makings of a fine NHL blueliner, except the crucial quality of making good, timely decisions and urgent play. Day, at this point anyway, looks like a player who isn't relaxed and enjoying playing the game. | Brian Fogarty | Sarnia vs Mississauga (OHL) | 12/18/2015 | 42357 | 10011 |
Anton Slepyshev | Note | Slepyshev has jump to his step early in the first | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Anton Slepyshev | Note | Haven't noticed Slepyshev in a while. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Anton Slepyshev | Summary | A very quiet game. Started the game with a big first shift and then went off the radar. In a game with six goals scored, he didn’t figure into the scoring at all. Only one serious chance on net. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Barclay Goodrow | Note | Goodrow with his second goal of the game, driving the net. Has a lot of good habits and I think is a bottom-six NHLer for a few hundred games. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Barclay Goodrow | Note | Goodrow with the overtime winner to complete the hat trick. Should be playing with Sharks in place of Mike Brown. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Barclay Goodrow | Note | Goodrow with a pass/chest bump/water-bottle-knocker goal? Looking good this game, multi-tool player | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Barclay Goodrow | Note | Goodrow had a very complete game. Solid in all three zones, involved physically, drive play. Three goals and +4 on the night | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Barclay Goodrow | Summary | Once again with a solid, honest, north/south game. Scored a hat trick with a dominating performance. Ready for the NHL in a bottom-six role with the potential to develop into a middle line role. Work ethic continues to be a dominating trait but hands are decent and shows some creativity as well. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Ben Scrivens | Summary | Scrivens has forgotten how to play goalie. Confidence has to be shattered, looked absolutely lost, dazed and confused. Routine saves turned into adventures and ultimately goals. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Bogdan Yakimov | Note | Yakimov with nifty play to get puck to Slepyshev for dangerous chance early in the first period. Skating well. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Bogdan Yakimov | Note | Yakimov in a much better showing, using size to lean in on defense and get the puck to the net. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Bogdan Yakimov | Note | Skating better, feet are moving, active stick. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Bogdan Yakimov | Summary | Much improved skating, more than any other viewing. The best game I have seen from the big Russian and renews my hope for him. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Joey LaLeggia | Note | Joey definitely playing the left wing, deployed on the Slepyshev line with Yakimov on the right wing. Great passing by the line leads to a 2-on-1 with LaLeggia hitting the right post coming on his offing. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Joey LaLeggia | Note | Bit of an adventure, having trouble with assignments. Liked him better on defense. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Joey LaLeggia | Note | LaLeggia on the point for the PP2 squad, gets a dangerous puck on net. Stays on the right wing with Yakimov. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Joey LaLeggia | Note | LaLeggia doesn't really inspire much as a forward for me. I thought he was much more dangerous | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Joey LaLeggia | Note | LaLeggia is easily being moved off pucks at forward. Seems totally unnatural and it shows. I think it a mistake. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Joey LaLeggia | Summary | Deployed as a forward and his talents were wasted. A player this size takes a lifetime to develop a way to work around their stature, and throwing him out as a forward was a waste. Not sure if this was desperation due to all the call-ups or an actual thing the Oilers are trying with LaLeggia, but either way it needs to stop. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Julius Bergman | Note | Bergman with a poorly played 2-on-1 leads to a goal, struggling this game all around. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Note | Jevpalovs was not active in this game. Less and less ice time as the game moved on, wasn't on his game tonight. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Summary | Continues to show very little drive to use his skills to contribute in a meaningful way. Has the skills to impact the scoreboard, but simply won’t get into gear. Flashes of his vision, shot and creativity are shown then the lackadaisical side takes over for a period | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin with a mediocre shift to start. Hope he shows some fire tonight | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Quiet first period for Goldobin. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin should be taking this game over. Poor decisions, lazy passes, he just does not look like he is that interested in hockey. I have seen a dozen games of his and have never seen any drive from him. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Goldobin showing some life on the PP. Back-to-back passes that lead to scoring chances. Gets moving again on a shift to dish to the center. Would like to see more killer instinct from him, has a good shot and needs to use it. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Troy Grosenick | Summary | In a 6-7 win, Grosenick got the W but had a hard game. Overplayed the puck at times and didn't let the play/puck come to him. Got very little defensive help and was left out to dry on a number of plays. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 12/5/2015 | 42343 | 10010 |
Christian Dvorak | Note | Dvorak with one touch pass from Marner, fakes backhand shot and slides it in for a London goal. That line just needs a mistake and can take over. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Christian Dvorak | Summary | Dvorak with 2+2, great well rounded game from him | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Cliff Pu | Note | Cliff Pu impressive skater both in terms of speed and edge work. quick. Active stick, good forecheck | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Cliff Pu | Note | Pu showing good wheels, often deployed with Jones. losing a lot of draws | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Cliff Pu | Note | Pu is such a good skater. fluid movement, handles the puck well at speed. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Cliff Pu | Summary | Immense skating skill, good hands but so-so hockey sense and vision. Limited offense capability makes a low ceiling for the prospect but very toolsy. Could develop further with high end skating ability. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Logan Brown | Note | underwhelming in effort. skating doesn’t look to be a strength thus far in the game | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Logan Brown | Note | Logan Brown needs to move his feet more. Not much fire or sand in his game for a man that size. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Logan Brown | Note | Stanley quiet in the 1st. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Logan Brown | Note | Brown showing some life with a hard hit and hard work in the corner with a risky play to Sergechev who blasts one in. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Logan Brown | Note | Brown with his second inspired shift of the game and is very noticeable with his hands and size, needs to keep his foot on the gas. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Logan Brown | Note | Mete was able to steer Logan Brown away from powering to the net. Mete is 8” and 44 pounds less. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Logan Brown | Summary | All hype and no substance, Logan Brown is falling down my board. Skills are there for a few shifts a game and the rest of the game he is invisible | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Logan Stanley | Note | Stanley with a lazy play behind the net. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Logan Stanley | Summary | Just don’t like Logan Stanley’s game. Sam Morin’s long lost brother. Do not see this one being much without major work. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Markus Soberg | Note | Soberg with good PK shift, blocked a shot, intercepted a pass and cleared | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Tkachuk spending a lot of time in front of the next, keeping square to the shooter, looking for dirty goals. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Marner to Dvorak to Tkachuk and leads to a tap in for the backside defenseman. Talented forward line. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Matthew Tkachuk | Summary | Showed it all tonight. Fast, nasty, talented, big. He is his father's son. Power forward in the making with everything you need in a forward. Top pick worthy on every front. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Max Jones | Note | Jones/Pu combo is a forechecking combo. lots of pressure, good wheels. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Max Jones | Note | Jones coming off his skates a lot. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Max Jones | Summary | Jones was all over the ice but not much offensive upside displayed. Skating was very good, and when deployed with Pu it was a havoc causing line. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Note | Sergachev with head up slapper beats Parsons clean | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Note | Sergechev with a good keep in to keep play alive and leads to goal from his defensive partner, deployed every other shift. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Note | Hard to knock off the puck, able to deal with pressure thus far. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Note | Sergachev doing well with have minutes against a very deep London forward squad. Seems to be wearing down late in the 3rd with all this ice time | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Summary | Sergachev played seemingly half the game against this very deep and talented London team and still contributed 2 goals to the losing effort. Quickly becoming a top defenseman at the top end of the 1st round. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Mitch Marner | Note | Marner getting a bit too cute early. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Mitch Marner | Note | Marner with a great shift late in the 1st, puck handles around the back after give and go with Dvorak of the next for a dangerous chance. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Mitch Marner | Note | Marner with a puck recovery on the half boards, lightning release ties the games at 3. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Mitch Marner | Summary | Marner looks bored. So talented, gets away with anything he wants. His line likely could dominate play at the AHL level, there was very little even a skilled defensive team like Windsor could do to stop them. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Tyler Parsons | Summary | Parsons challenges shooters well. overplays at time, but playing well. good reflexes, feet are a bit busy. quick legs | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Victor Mete | Note | Mete having some difficulty with the physicality. Few times he looked a bit lost in defensive coverage | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Victor Mete | Note | Mete stickhandling is very solid, sure handed with the puck | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Victor Mete | Note | Mete on defense is a bit of an adventure against the big and heavy Spitfires | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Victor Mete | Summary | The CHL’s version of Joey LaLeggia, a lot has to go right in his development to have a shot. Did not like his defensive play at all, and one wonders how he would do on a team that didn’t have 5-8 top 90 prospects. Not a fan. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | 12/4/2015 | Not Available | 10009 |
Brandon Carlo | Note | Carlo with great stop on Bajkov, takes the puck and leads a 2-on-1 for a shorthanded tally. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |

Smooth skating, and a quick transition game helped him drive possession and get chances on the Everett net | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Brandon Ralph | Note | Best nickname in the Dub: Branden "Wreck It" Ralph, and he plays like it, as well. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Carter Hart | Summary | Hart keeping Everett in the game. Under siege but battling to see the puck and getting in front of the puck. Waiting for his team to wake up. Not the most technical display. Hart helpful in back of the net with the puck, often getting the puck to his defense in a better position. Confident with the puck and under forechecker pressure. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Evan Sarthou | Summary | Sarthou looking strong. Quiet feet, makes himself big and lets the puck hit him. Numbers aren't great, but in this first viewing I'm liking his game. Projectable professional goalie with more development. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Michael Rasmussen | Note | Young, tall and lanky, but likes to be in the front of the net. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Michael Rasmussen | Note | Rasmussen right in front of the net on PP1 | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |

Michael Rasmussen | Note | Picks off the puck and drives the net for a backhand chance. Later on the shift, drifts to the left face-off circle and a crisp pass back to a trailing defenseman for a goal. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Michael Rasmussen | Note | Decent skating in this game for a young big man. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Michael Rasmussen | Note | Drives the net with noticeable frequency. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |

Michael Rasmussen | Note | Very good viewing for this young man. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Michael Rasmussen | Summary | A very complete game from the young man who is a top prospect for the 2017 draft. Drove the net with noticeable frequency, not shying away from contact nor traffic. Positioning wise I noticed a number of blocked passes and shots. Tall and lanky, he was better adjusted to his large frame than others in his peer group, helping him display a high level of refinement to his game. Skating overall is good, especially for his size but needs further development. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Noah Juulsen | Summary | In a game that got away from the Tips, Juulsen's engine, complete level and work ethic were on display. More engaged physically in this game than others in the past, which I really liked and thought added a lot to his game. Took a good roughing penalty and threw some solid clean hits with his team down by four goals. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Juulsen with a good physical play the ref called roughing, didn't mind the play one bit. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Carrying the puck a lot, trying to get something going for his team, down 2-0 in the second period. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Out again on the PK, still working hard with his team down by 4 goals | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Big hits tonight, doing what he can to make a difference. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |

Parker Wotherspoon | Note | Backs off the play more than he should. Needs to tighten the gap. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Parker Wotherspoon | Note | Good stick handling, but can lack urgency | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Parker Wotherspoon | Summary | Found Wotherspoon to be backing off the play at times, allowing too much time and space for attackers. Not a huge fan of defenders using the toe drag at the blue line, which Parker did a number of times. Plays well in all three zones, but needs more intensity in his game to go with a solid skill foundation. | Zachary DeVine | Tri-City vs. Everett (WHL) | 12/2/2015 | Not Available | 10008 |
Brayden Point | Note | Didn't play against Everett. No information on why. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |

Brett Howden | Note | Good shift a third of the way through the second. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Brett Howden | Note | Very quiet in the 3rd period, game wasn't out of hand until last 7 or so minutes. Needed more drive from this talented player with Point out of lineup. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Carter Hart | Summary | Hart has good economy of movement. Plays a bit deep, but a calmness in net. Decent size at 6'1. Very few challenges tonight, but was there when he needed to be , making 14 saves for his sixth shutout of the season. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Carter Hart | Note | Stickhandled around attacking Warrior player, confident play. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Nikita Popugaev | Note | Popugaev is a monster. Massive man-child touted as a top 2017 pick. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Nikita Popugaev | Note | Short, choppy stride. Needs to get more power out of his first few steps. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Nikita Popugaev | Note | Defense is a work in progress, but very young and first year in North America | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Nikita Popugaev | Note | Still growing into his frame, which is massive. Seems a bit clumsy, but uses size well. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Nikita Popugaev | Note | Needs to keep with the play more, curled away from the play often. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Nikita Popugaev | Note | Transitions to backward skating can be awkward, seems always to pivot to the right. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Nikita Popugaev | Note | Moving a lot but with little purpose. Curls away from plays each shift. Needs more north/south injected into his game, didn't play much at all in the third period | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Juulsen is a smooth skater. Quick hands and good handle on the puck as he moves up ice. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Hard outlet passes with good vision. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Two clears on the PK, always seems to be in a good spot. The anchor of a stingy Everett defense. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Juulsen with a hard, low wrist shot fake that was actually a pass to a forward to the left of the net for an easy goal. Heady play, outstanding vision on the play and fooled everyone. Crafty and sneaky all at once. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Noah Juulsen | Note | Good keep in on the PP. Deployed constantly. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Bajkov's early shifts show good awareness, getting himself into a spot to help a teammate, cause havoc or get a scoring chance. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Barkov out on the PK, active stick, a good read and clear at the blueline. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |

Patrick Bajkov | Note | Enjoying his game, it's well-rounded with good motor, grit and skill. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | Each shift in the 3rd period has Bajkov in the middle of something. Finished the night with 2 assists and +1 on his 18th birthday. | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |
Patrick Bajkov | Note | One timer leads to rebound to get the Silvertips to a 1-0 lead early | Zachary DeVine | Moose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL) | 11/27/2015 | Not Available | 10007 |

Boris Katchouk | Note | Not fast, but good in possession. Shifty hands, able to dangle through traffic. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Boris Katchouk | Note | Good read on an attempted breakout pass. He got to the lane and intercepted. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Boris Katchouk | Summary | Katchouk does not have blazing speed, but all other facets of his game are above average or better. Strong on his feet and tough to move. Good puck possession skills and a hard worker all over the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Brendan Perlini | Note | Scores a soft goal with a hard wrist shot on a 1-on-4 | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |

Brendan Perlini | Note | Uses a wide stance to protect the puck from a defender. Strong legs. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Brendan Perlini | Summary | The dominant player in the game, using his size and strength to get possession, and then his hands and smarts to generate scoring chances for himself or his teammates. A solid performance all around. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Graham Knott | Note | Shows good edgework and long strides. Good hands in close, especially for his size. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Graham Knott | Note | Good check on the boards to disrupt an attack. Uses his size to hold position and shield plays | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Graham Knott | Summary | Still a work in progress, the big forward shows strength and decent agility in multiple phases of the game. Uses his size well because he can move well laterally and use his edgework to gain superior positions on the ice. Could become a solid middle-six centerman that opponents do not like playing against. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Such quick and agile hands and stickwork | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Shows his creativity with puck handling in traffic and a self-pass off the back of the net | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | He has added some weight, looks bigger/thicker, especially in his legs. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Pivots well with the puck on his stick. Tremendously nimble and in control of the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Still a playmaker. Always has his head up, looking for options all the time, but he rarely seems to find that the option of shooting the puck is an appealing choice. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Note | Almost instant reversal of direction with the puck on his stick. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Josh Ho-Sang | Summary | If Ho-Sang would just shoot the puck, he would be among the world's top prospects. Instead, he uses his speed and ridiculous dexterity on his feet and in his hands to move the puck through the neutral and offensive zones and create chances for his teammates. However, unless he can scare defenders with his shot, NHL players will let him play around with the puck all game long. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Tim Gettinger | Note | Active stick | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Zachary Senyshyn | Note | Soft play on Perlini's goal | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Zachary Senyshyn | Note | Does not show a lot of interest in battling for the puck in the defensive zone. Very passive play. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Zachary Senyshyn | Note | Slow to move his feet and forced to trip an attacking Niagara player | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Zachary Senyshyn | Note | Another goal against as he waves at a puck carrier | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Zachary Senyshyn | Note | A different player down low in the offensive zone. Will go to the net, drive with the puck | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Zachary Senyshyn | Summary | Disappointing is the word. When he is in the offensive zone, he shows energy and determination to get to the front of the net. Outside of the zone, it's a different story. Multiple instances of being the last player back on transitions by the other team. Lack of effort in his own end led to two goals against. | Brian Fogarty | Niagara vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL) | 11/26/2015 | Not Available | 10006 |
Dylan DeMelo | Note | Best situational awareness I have seen from a SJ dman. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Dylan DeMelo | Note | Demelo deployed on 1st PP, as well. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Dylan DeMelo | Note | Demelo with a good pinch in during the last 5 seconds of the period. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Dylan DeMelo | Summary | Decent game from him, but not his best. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Dylan DeMelo | Summary | Decent two-way defenseman without much size or standout abilities. A good AHL defenseman, but I'm not sure there are any standout tools that makes him an NHL player | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Poirier with 2-on-1 rush and gets a slick pass through for a dangerous chance. Good wheels. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Tried to beat three San Jose players at the blue line with better options around him, led to an odd-man rush the other way | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Beautiful one-timer for a goal late in the third to tie the game | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Emile Poirier | Summary | Top-level vision and puck skills, great on his feet, and excellent release on the one-timer. Needs at least the rest of the year in the AHL to prepare for playing at the top level of hockey | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Poirier still trying Q moves. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Frustrating laziness comes in and out of his game. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Gets the tying goal on the 3rd after being left all alone in the slot and slick pass from Grant. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Poirier was actually cherry-picking in an AHL game, then tries some QMJHL-esque play and is promptly poke-checked by Gus Young. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Two quick one-timers on net in the opening minutes, hard and low, caused trouble for Grosenick | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Emile Poirier | Summary | Offensively explosive, fast and strong vision. Would much prefer to see a simple, north/south game from him using his speed and hands, instead of these bad habits in his second year as a professional. Hands are there, question is if the rest of the game can be rounded out. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Careless backhand pass into the slot in his own end, the kind of pass that makes coaches cringe | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Emile Poirier | Note | Good speed down the right-wing side, tried to fake Grosenick but was stopped by fine goaltending | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Julius Bergman | Note | Bergman was getting put over the boards with more frequency in this game. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Julius Bergman | Note | Good keep in on same shift and good gap control once the Heat regained it. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Julius Bergman | Note | Bergman having a nice period. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Julius Bergman | Summary | Improving each game I have seen him. Reminds me of a younger Dylan Demelo, more relevant to NHL teams than fantasy but I think he can make the show. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Markus Granlund | Note | Granlund with an easy goal after Agostino does all of the work. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Markus Granlund | Note | Deployed on the PK, not sure why outside of his wheels. Refuses even to tie up a stick. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Markus Granlund | Note | At 11:50 of the 3rd period, all five San Jose players tying up two Heat players, but Granlund totally uninterested. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Markus Granlund | Note | Skillful shootout shot. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Markus Granlund | Summary | Too soft on the backcheck and not enough sand in him. Very talented but no where near contact nor traffic. He is a very fast player, deceptively slow. Hard shot, favors the snap shot in most cases. Future MVP of the SHL. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Markus Granlund | Note | Nice wrister to convert a two-on-one with Agostino, beating Grosenick clean | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Markus Granlund | Note | Chasing the play a lot, which leaves him out of position at both ends of the ice | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Markus Granlund | Summary | Good size and can skate well, but having watched him a few times over the last couple of years, I was disappointed in his overall lack of improvement in decision-making and hockey smarts. Has the skill level to be an average NHL middle-six type of player, but just hasn't put it all together yet. | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Note | First period he was one of the better Baracuda forwards. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Note | Jevpalovs with another hard-working shift at 4:50, drives the middle for a rare 'Cuda chance. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Note | Jevpalovs hardworking shift behind the net with a short dish to Timmins for a goal to tie the game. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Note | With two minutes remaining in the OT period, Jevpalovs had a shot on the right wing with the centerman driving for a possible rebound, but mis-timed a pass instead. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Note | Nice effort on the backcheck to break up an odd-man rush | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Note | Gets an assist after digging for a puck in the corner and winning the battle, then firing a pass to an open Timmins in the circle | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Summary | Jevpalovs with another solid game, a player that you have to really watch to appreciate. Often the first to get back, plays a quick transition game but slow shot gets deflected or blocked. Still like his well-rounded game, no shifts taken off. Offensively coming along but taking the defensive responsibilities seriously. Elite physicality tonight, more so then usual for him, which is already a solid part of his game. Needs to work on and develop his shot as well as shoot more and use his physical, driving play to get to the front of the net. At the end of the game, after seeing his slick, patient SO goal, makes one wonder what he could have done earlier in the game with a few more shots. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Nikita Jevpalovs | Summary | Works hard in all three zones and shows above average speed. His play looks suited more for a bottom-six role player spot than a second-line scorer, but he has legitimate NHL ability. | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Kylington paired with Wotherspoon early. I think it is a smart, complimentary pairing. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Oliver Kylington | Summary | Smallish, and looks like he needs some more time to learn the finer aspects of zone play, but he is a shining example of an offensive defenseman. Excellent skating, agility and hands. | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | PP time to end the 2nd was a tour de force even through he let the puck out of the zone after the face off. Usually floated back, held the puck, kicked up the speed and lead the breakout back into the offensive zone. Good low, hard shot and again quick and active. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Shift after Timmins' goal, Kylington walks in and nearly ties it. Every shift seems more confident. Deployed more often in the 3rd. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 42329 | 10005 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Caught cheating at 5:25 of 3rd and used superior skating to recover completely. Impressive viewing, a player to watch. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Oliver Kylington | Summary | Kylington is small, but demonstrated good body positioning and stick work. Out-developed at the moment by AHL men. Skating is very impressive. Smart angles, quick stick and sharp, hard passes. His quick transitions and overall impressive skating allows gambling and the skill to recover. I am seeing some of the risky items in his game that were all over his player notes before the draft, but nothing alarming or frankly unwelcome in an offensive defenseman. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Really, really fast. Blowing past people on the back check | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Beautiful little play where he just simply reached out and took the puck from a San Jose forward. Very poised. | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Should have had a goal after sweet moves through the top of the offensive zone, but the puck trickled just wide of the post | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Oliver Kylington | Note | Again skating hard on the back check. Gets so low when skating hard. Excellent stride. | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Troy Grosenick | Note | Four pucks in and out of his trapper in two periods. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Troy Grosenick | Summary | Competitive nature in the net helps compensate for average positional play. Good rebound control, especially in heavy traffic. His movement is quick, but his technique, especially moving crease to post, needs to be cleaned up. At least two or three years away. | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Troy Grosenick | Note | Trapper working much better in the third. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Troy Grosenick | Note | Grosenick battling tonight with not a ton of defensive help, 48 sog through regulation, under siege all night. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Troy Grosenick | Note | Finished with a .942 saves percentage. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Troy Grosenick | Summary | Battled hard to get the point that the 'Cuda had no right in getting. He isn’t the prettiest goalie to watch, but compete level is very high and isn’t giving up on any plays despite so-so defensive help. | Zachary DeVine | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Troy Grosenick | Note | First goal against came on a two-on-one on which Grosenick was too deep in his net to make a save. The play broke down in front of him and a lucky bounce put the puck on Agostino's stick, but if Grosenick had been at the top of his crease we would have had a chance to make a positional save. | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Troy Grosenick | Note | Slow to get position on the Granlund goal. It looked like he only partially committed to dropping down and moving to the right post and Granlund beat him glove side | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Troy Grosenick | Note | Getting out to the top of the crease more now in the mid-first | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Troy Grosenick | Note | Has bad angles trying to move to his post and often over drives the play and puts himself past the post and out of the crease | Brian Fogarty | San Jose vs Stockton (AHL) | 11/21/2015 | 11/21/2015 | 10005 |
Alexander Nylander | Note | Good motor on display by Nylander | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Alexander Nylander | Note | Nylander line has a lot of talent but rushing on the PP to end the first period. Needs more patience to allow play to develop, losing handle on pucks often. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Alexander Nylander | Note | Day continues to do it all. huge pass to Nylander who throws on the brakes, gets back to the slot and is tipped in for the goal. Amazing play by these two very talented players. Nylander showed great patience as well as stick handling on the play. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Alexander Nylander | Summary | Nylander is very confident with the puck, has the skills to mostly get it deep under possession at this level. Two assists but didn’t do much on the defensive side. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Logan Brown | Summary | Brown has disappeared again. Maddening player. Overhyped based on him maybe putting it all together. Two goals to start the game then takes the next 50 minutes off | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Logan Brown | Note | Logan Brown causing in the middle with a one time snap shot to score. Does the same on his second after a quick pass from behind the net. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Logan Brown | Notes | Brown involved physically, playing with some grit as well | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Markus Soberg | Note | Soberg not doing much in this game so far. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Michael McLeod | Note | McLeod has good wheels. Impressive skating and skill at speed. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Michael McLeod | Note | Day, McLeod, Bastien deployed on a 5-on-3 and are highly disruptive and stay out until it’s back to full strength. McLeod with a big hit to end the shift. Enjoying his high energy. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Michael McLeod | Note | McLeod back checks hard to help breakup a play. an impressive 3-zone effort by the young man | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Michael McLeod | Summary | McLeod getting stronger and faster as the game goes on. More and more active trying to get the Trout back to level. Skating is on display for all to see and it is a sight. Edge work is very good as well, quick starts and stops. Good game from the speedster | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Michael McLeod | Summary | McLeod was an interesting player to watch. was very engaged in the play, won most of his draws, and never gave up on the game. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Note | Sergachev PP2 QB with good puck distribution | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Note | Sergachev with good puck decisions all around, quick decisions and nearly always makes a solid play with the puck. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Note | Sergachev has a big shot, likes to use it and often gets through. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Mikhail Sergachev | Summary | Sergachev had a huge night with a goal, three assists, was a +4, and 6 shots. Played amazing and lights out. Each game makes me excited to see what he does. easily a 1st round selection in the 2016 draft and one of the top defenseman available. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Nathan Bastian | Note | Bastian with one quick move to the net, solid on his edges. Lots of very good skating on display in this game. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Nathan Bastian | Note | Bastian on the penalty kill with two good chances shorthanded, then ties up the puck in the corner. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Sean Day | Note | Day with very good skating and quick outlet pass leads to a good chance. fluid skater, hips allow for quick transitions as well | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Sean Day | Note | Day active from the blue line and good skating allows for quick recovery. very noticeable in all facets of the game thus far. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Sean Day | Summary | Likely one of the most polarizing players, the skill is there, the skating is there but the “coach killer” traits that I have heard about showed up as well. Played much like a Brent Burns type player, moving around the ice like a “rover”. Still, I’d rather tame a tiger on defense. | Zachary DeVine | Mississauga vs. Windsor (OHL) | 11/13/2015 | Not Available | 10004 |
Anthony Mantha | Summary | Rode shotgun much of the night, but if you saw him in the QMJHL, you saw him in this game. Great shot, decent vision and completely dependent on others to get him the puck where he can deploy that wicked shot of his. Mantha will shoot from anywhere, and the first goal by the Griffins resulted from Mantha's hard, reckless shot from above the right circle that was tipped in, rewarding him with an assist. Defense is improving, with a good active stick and fast transition game. Still needs some seasoning in the AHL, but the tools are all there and he could be a great winger alongside fellow Detroit prospect Dylan Larkin. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Grand Rapids (AHL) | 11/11/2015 | Not Available | 10003 |
Martin Frk | Summary | Big motor, big hits, big mouth. Frk was an involved participant in all facets of the game. Mixing it up, physically imposing, willing to pay the price in the corners and in front of the net. Only one shot on the night but was still a player that you noticed because of his inspired play. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Grand Rapids (AHL) | 11/11/2015 | Not Available | 10003 |
Mike Reilly | Summary | Worked hard all game and his vision was on display. Made many high-skill plays with the puck, and was the only Iowa defenseman trying to drive possession. Trying to do too much at his own blue line led to Reilly being stripped of the puck and a 4-on-4 goal for the Griffins. Even after this mistake, Reilly remained calm throughout the game while carrying the puck and made intelligent use of defensive partners to move the puck up ice. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Grand Rapids (AHL) | 11/11/2015 | Not Available | 10003 |
Xavier Ouellet | Summary | A well-rounded game by the French defenseman. Ouellet picked up an assist after intercepting a clearing attempt and firing a quick cross-ice pass that lead to the Griffins third goal. Played off the attacking player a number of times, gap control needs fine tuning but very fixable. Slightly undersized for a defenseman, plays hard and heavy and made several good, physical plays. Currently viewed as a third or fourth defenseman at the NHL level with some offensive capability. | Zachary DeVine | Iowa vs Grand Rapids (AHL) | 11/11/2015 | Not Available | 10003 |
Bogdan Yakimov | Note | Heavy feet. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 42316 | 10002 |
Bogdan Yakimov | Note | I haven't really seen Yakimov use his size with any effectiveness yet. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 42316 | 10002 |
Bogdan Yakimov | Note | Doesn't seem to generate any power from his legs, and that might be why he doesn't play strong on the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 42316 | 10002 |
Bogdan Yakimov | Note | Yakimov is very top heavy. Twice he took taps to his back in the offensive-zone slot and both times he nearly fell over. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 42316 | 10002 |
Bogdan Yakimov | Summary | Yakimov looks to be a rare breed of hockey player: a big man who might rather be smaller. He has decent puck skills, but his feet are so heavy, his skating so deliberate and awkward, and his lack of power in his legs makes Yakimov look as if he is constantly teetering on the verge of tipping over. Based on this viewing, I would put the probability of Yakimov becoming an NHL player at less than ten percent. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 42316 | 10002 |
Bogdan Yakimov | Summary | Terrible, upright and underpowered skating drags down an otherwise talented prospect. Massive frame, good hands and good vision, “Yak” can see what he needs to do and has the hands to do it, but the wheels just don’t have the ability to do what the head wants them to. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 42316 | 10002 |
Joey LaLeggia | Note | Good skating with the puck up through the neutral zone, but lost possession at the offensive-zone blue line. Deked past two opposing forwards to get through the neutral zone, but lost control in a crowd of his own teammates who are all stacked up at the blue line. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 42316 | 10002 |
Joey LaLeggia | Note | Good balance and stickhandling with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 42316 | 10002 |
Joey LaLeggia | Note | Third attempt at a left-to-right toe-drag move to beat an opponent when one-on-one. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Joey LaLeggia | Note | Again trying to do too much. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Joey LaLeggia | Summary | Small, but quick, a smooth skater who needs to learn that he has to use his teammates more at this level. However, given the lack of quick skill on the Bakersfield team, his efforts were mostly unmatched. LaLeggia was a bright spot in a dreary, dismal game, but he will need more than fancy skating and puck handling to earn a consistent spot in the NHL. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Joey LaLeggia | Summary | Fantastic skater and riverboat gambler, LaLeggia reminds me of a Dan Boyle. Makes smart plays that drive possession and scoring chances. For being only 5’10, LaLeggia is nearly always in the correct position and knows how to use his slight frame for maximum benefit. His creativity and fearlessness is something he will need to retain--whilst bulking up his slight frame--to contribute at the next level. Play in the corners was adequate, but his quick stick and good vision helps keep him out of trouble. With high risk as well as reward, a player all owners should have on their radar. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Jujhar Khaira | Note | Nice defensive zone check that disrupted the puck carrier. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Jujhar Khaira | Note | Hips are slow on his pivot to reverse skating, and he actually hopped a bit to get his foot around. An opponent with better acceleration would have blasted past him. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Jujhar Khaira | Note | Nice read, quick pass through the crease to Yakimov who couldn't get his stick on the puck for a tap in. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Jujhar Khaira | Note | Doorstep backhand for a point-blank goal. Nice read and change of direction to get to the front of the net. 8:21 of the first period. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Jujhar Khaira | Note | Continues to impress with steady, two-way play. Physical in front of the net, strong with both hands, good balance. The anti-Yakimov. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Jujhar Khaira | Note | Scores his second goal with only a couple of minutes left in the game. The best part of the play was his collecting a bad pass with his skate, turning and shooting short-side from a sharp angle. No defensive pressure on him, though, and bad positioning by Grosenick to allow the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Jujhar Khaira | Summary | Of the five players under focus, Khaira clearly had the best game. Despite his two goals, his offensive skills are limited to grinder production. However, he competed hard all over the ice, showed smart, physical play and despite not being a blazing, agile skater was more than capable with his skating. Based on this viewing I'd say that Khaira has a chance at becoming a decent bottom-six forward for the NHL. His spot on the prospect list is indicative of his fantasy potential, but I can see him playing in the NHL next season. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Jujhar Khaira | Summary | Seemed to never leave the ice. Great motor and complete level in all three zones. Good-skating big man with decent hands and reasonably smart play. Aggressive on the forecheck, mixed it up in front of San Jose net on a number of occasions and deployed in all situations. Often deployed with Yakimov and Slepyshev to form a tall and heavy line that the undersized San Jose defenders had no ability to compete with physically. Could easily be called up and be part of the bottom 6 forwards for the Oilers and contribute. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | On the powerplay, the puck was sent deep into his own zone. When Dell (Bakersfield G) left the puck off, Mueller failed to get back to support his teammate and a turnover to the forechecker led directly to a wrap-around goal while Mueller stood in the slot watching the play. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Took a pass in the defensive zone during a line reset. Passed to his forward coming back towards him, but the better play was a D-to-D pass. Mueller's choice led to a turnover and a shot on goal against. Later in the period, in the same circumstances, Mueller went D-to-D. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Nice touch on a stretch pass to the offensive-zone blue line. The shift eventually resulted in a goal, but Mueller's pass had little to do with it. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Good shift early in the second period, with solid positioning, switches and smart reads that helped clear the defensive zone. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Mirco Mueller | Note | Has the skills, but zero creativity. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Mirco Mueller | Summary | Mueller displayed good defensive positioning at time, and there were shifts during the game during which his selection at 18th overall in the 2013 draft seemed warranted. However, far more often he disappeared, especially in the offensive zone. Mueller's lack of creativity left him pushing soft-touched but deliberate, telegraphed passes to his line mates. He never seemed to drive play at all, and that is worrisome for a player who spent significant time in the NHL last season. Mueller is not yet 21 years of age, so there is a chance he can develop his defensive play enough to get back to the NHL, but his offense will not get him there. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Mirco Mueller | Summary | Mueller has taken a step backwards this year. With 39 games in the NHL last year and looking inexperienced but not completely out of place, this year in the AHL he has two speeds: panicked, or lazy. Made a number of poor, uninspired plays, one of which he turned over the puck then did little to challenge the puck thief, who promptly scored a shorthanded goal with Mueller simply watching. His already predictable plays become even more so after a mistake and other teams are keying on this. Has turned from a prospect to a project. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Shifty stickwork in the offensive zone got a pass to his teammate in the slot, chance generated. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | Generated good speed without the puck through the neutral zone, but in the resulting offensive-zone shift, SJ never gained possession of the puck. Goldobin passed on an opportunity to make a hit, and actually turned the wrong way trying to anticipate a poke check instead. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Note | No energy in puck pursuit, despite being down 5-2 in the third. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Summary | Goldobin obviously possesses skills, and showed some sparks of creativity. However, in this game at least, he showed little interest in playing a complete game and was mostly invisible throughout all three periods. Granted, it was a lackluster game all around, but Goldobin's performance was disappointing. | Brian Fogarty | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Nikolay Goldobin | Summary | Easily the highest raw talent in the Sharks prospect pool, Goldy had a very forgettable game. The knock on him in his draft year continues: seems to coast at times and does in fact look bored for entire periods and even games at a time. Had opportunities to contribute physically and chose to turn away from contact each time and spent zero time in the slot trying to get a scoring chance. Easily the worst game in several viewings. | Zachary DeVine | Bakersfield vs San Jose (AHL) | 11/8/2015 | 11/8/2015 | 10002 |
Brett Ritchie | Note | Worked hard in the offensive zone, drifted back to left circle when the puck was deep behind the net. Set his feet and hands to be in the right position to receive a pass and release a shot or one time pass. When the puck came to him, he had a quick-release wrist shot on goal. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Brett Ritchie | Summary | There is little doubt that Ritchie has NHL skills, but there seems to be something absent from his game. Perhaps the missing piece is just a case of high expectations unrealized, or maybe it is his style of play that somehow does not translate. Ritchie flashes his talents but then seems to disappear for the next ten minutes. Even so, he finished this game with a team-high seven shots on net. He is a player that begs for repeated viewings, but I have a difficult time seeing him playing above a marginal middle-six role at the NHL level. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Devin Shore | Note | Good faceoff win, then followed the play as it broke apart. Shore then created a turnover with positioning and a good poke check. He won the puck and immediately drove down the right side into the offensive zone. Shore then cut back to the middle at the top of the right circle and put a wrist shot on net that beat Leighton (Rockford goaltender). Leighton looked fooled by the shot low to the far side. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Devin Shore | Note | Solid defensive positioning in his own end, but flagged a bit during a backchecking opportunity. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Devin Shore | Summary | Shore displayed some of the same winning attributes that he commanded during his time at the University of Maine. Shore is a good skater and on-ice leader with the ability to get involved in the play. He is good in the faceoff circle and will hound opponents on the forecheck. However, throughout the game, Shore appeared to be chasing the play instead of anticipating it, but that is not unusual for a first-year pro at the end of a long season. College players can take a while to acclimate to the longer seasons in professional hockey where there is little time for the body to recover between games. As such, Shore will be well-served by another year at the AHL level. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Julius Honka | Summary | Another quality performance from Honka, who continues to prove that he can be an NHL defenseman by supplementing his smaller build with intelligent positional play, top-flight skating and smooth on-ice awareness. Honka does not panic in his own end, even when he makes a mistake or, more often, needs to cover for someone else's missed assignment. He is a natural defender, always getting his stick or his body in position to disrupt an attacker's best options, and moves with efficiency and determination. Honka takes hits to make plays when he needs to do so, but more often his already moved the puck into a safer, more opportunistic play. He can skate with the puck and has the stickhandling to deke around forecheckers, and makes smart passes consistently. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Mark McNeil | Note | Great shift. McNeil took the puck into the offensive zone on the right side, crossed diagonally to the left circle with the puck on his left to protect it from the defender. Not a hard shot, but he got the puck on net. This entry was followed by a strong shift by McNeil and Danault with good possession down low. Both showed good possession abilities by shielding the puck with their bodies and creating time. The shift resulted in the first goal of the game at 3:43 of the first period. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Mark McNeil | Note | On the left circle on the powerplay. Used the boards well to help with puck possession. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Mark McNeil | Summary | The best player on the ice during the game. Smart, strong player with the puck on his stick and made consistently correct reads throughout the game. His work in puck possession makes him trouble for defenders down low in the offensive zone on the cycle, but also as he curls off of the boards with his head up for a passing opportunity or a shot. Responsible in his own end and disruptive in the neutral zone. He played the game on the same line with Danault, and the two were pushing play all through the game. A good skater with more strength than pure agility, yet he doesn't lack in quickness. McNeil didn't look like a top-line forward, but he could easily be a middle-six player with offensive upside and a player that could be counted on in any situation on the ice. Although nothing is ever certain, McNeil looks like an NHL player. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Phillip Danault | Note | Great shift. McNeil took the puck into the offensive zone on the right side, crossed diagonally to the left circle with the puck on his left to protect it from the defender. Not a hard shot, but he got the puck on net. This entry was followed by a strong shift by McNeil and Danault with good possession down low. Both showed good possession abilities by shielding the puck with their bodies and creating time. The shift resulted in the first goal of the game at 3:43 of the first period. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Phillip Danault | Note | Nice forehand-to-backhand that generated a tough shot and good scoring chance. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Phillip Danault | Note | Hard pass from his backhand, but looked awkward doing so, like a very hard pitchfork pass. Still, had good accuracy on the pass and found the right open player with it. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Phillip Danault | Note | While trying to launch a breakout late in the first period, Danault made a pass off his forehand from his own blue line while getting hit by a Texas forward. The pass was less than safe and ended up in a turnover. However, when looking at the play again, the pass attempt was the only solution to the situation, and in fact was just solid defense from the Texas squad. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Phillip Danault | Note | Always driving the puck forward and moving his feet. Took a difficult pass high in the offensive zone, made a move up the middle and got off a backhand pass to the slot that could have become a dangerous scoring chance, but well handled by the Texas defense and broken up. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Phillip Danault | Summary | Worked tremendously hard on every shift and seems to desire just one thing: to get the puck into the offensive zone. He backchecks, forechecks, protects the puck, makes smart reads and is willing to put the puck on the net. His backhand pass often takes a long time to unload with his pitchfork style, and that could cause problems for him at the NHL level, but otherwise his hands are good. More of a solid player than a scoring threat, Danault looks like a player who will make the NHL because of his hard work and smart play, as either a complementary piece on second line or an anchor on the third. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Stephen Johns | Note | Bombing the puck from the point, either on the powerplay or at even strength. Forced another difficult save that generated a scoring chance at the crease because the goaltender could not handled the shot. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Stephen Johns | Note | Game-winning goal in overtime. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
Stephen Johns | Summary | This was the first I have seen of Johns since his days in the NCAA, and his improvement was noticeable. Always a steady defender with a big shot, Johns' confidence moving forward and joining the offense seems to have taken a leap up from his days at Notre Dame, and his shot has gotten even bigger. He launches the puck from the point with devastating intent, and I don't recall a single shot of his that was handled cleanly during the game. A good skater for his size, with clean pivots and lateral movement. Although his overall skill level is not top-pairing NHL caliber, Johns could be a solid middle-pair blueliner with a role on a second-unit powerplay. | Brian Fogarty | Rockford vs Texas (AHL) | 4/29/2015 | Not Available | 10001 |
