12'/13' Draft Thread: Offensive flash is a beauty but defensive presence rules.

[ErnieLeafs]

Petan looks good going to the net in the first too.

Someone tell Monahan that the game started at 7.

Also, where's Lazar!?!?

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Recap, its all Seth Jones in the first thus far. Making a big statement he is #1

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Bailey has had the puck more than any other player on Orr team. Erne scored on a Jones play/rush. A rebound goal does not mean you are dominating out there.

I didn't say dominate. He knew where to be to finish the play, buzzing around the net every shift, and almost came away with a two point period, had his linemate finished the chance.

 

[Rare Jewel]

a side from Jones


Bowey, Nurse, Hartman and Drouin are my stand outs


Loads of time left.

I'm pretty pleased with my Mooseheads! Great period by the trio, Nate shows off his speed. Uses it much more efficiently this season. Fucale is in beast mode in nets. He faced almost as many shots this period as he does per game with us lol. His Save Percentage isn't great but when you face 20-25 shots per game, its tough to have it high.

Jones also unreal.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Barry Melrose on NHLN talking about Erne and Rychel.

He coached Warren, and LOVES Kerby's game, and ability to make an impact on plays every shift, not just on the scoresheet.

I completely agree. Solid PF prospect

Mooseheads are flyin' out there.

Quebec kids are showing out. I want to see more from Duclair (couple of smart, nifty plays in the 1st) and Mantha in the second?

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Seth Jones is a well spoken kid. Gotta love not hearing "uhhhhh" and "ya know.."

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Nurse with a scrap. Love it

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Duclair again... Solid vision.

I feel like the last peraon awake at the party, wasted, and talking to myself. Lol.

 

[King Mapes]

Seth Jones is a well spoken kid. Gotta love not hearing "uhhhhh" and "ya know.."

it probably helps to have a former NBA player as a dad. Not taking anything away from him. At the draft last year I felt Nate seemed nervous speaking but Jones was just so calm.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Duclair AGAIN.

 

[King Mapes]

I jinxed Fucale

 

[ErnieLeafs]

I jinxed Fucale

Spencer Martin is playing great. Making a case to be the 1st goalie off the board.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Zadorov is an interesting comrade, I like his physical game.

Lol, was anybody expecting you to say anything different?

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Jones has been pretty non-existant in the 2nd, but it's nice to hear Lazar's name!

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Steve Spott's defensive coaching there with Bailey not getting suxed into having 3 men low, Spott is a good defensive coach regardless of one you might think of him. His influence was written all over there.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Mantha skates so well for a kid who's 6'3.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Lol, was anybody expecting you to say anything different?

He is playing extremely well, no doubt about it.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Jones has been pretty non-existant in the 2nd, but it's nice to hear Lazar's name!

Too late, he already has made an impact on this game. He could be Casper the ghost the rest of the game, scouts, fans, and GM's just saw how he can dominate a game, and this is why he will be no worse than at least 1A this summer in the draft.

 

[King Mapes]

Jones has been pretty non-existant in the 2nd, but it's nice to hear Lazar's name!

Where did interactif go?

4 shutouts in 16 games

 

[Epictetus]

Jones has been pretty non-existant in the 2nd

The coaches are cutting back on his ice-time, so he does not continue to show his draft class up. Coaches want to give others a chance to shine, too.

Also, the new thread is up. This one is over 1,000 posts.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

No one has the potential like Seth Jones has on the ice, almost plays like a 4th fwd. Breaks up a play and he's instantaneously into the rush.

You can't value the impact a kid like this has on the game.

Mackinnon is a little quiet this period, surprised since this is his home rink and crowd.
