He played a scrub team and only put up one assist. Not really much to say about it.

' Ryan Poehling, C, St. Cloud State (MTL): Decent as a freshman, Poehling looked like he was ready to get more offense during summer viewings."

didn't see the game, I didn't even know they played as I thought their season started this weekend but saw it the next day. I bought the NCHC package so I'll get to see all his games. Will give updates on him for sure.
Ikonen has clearly been told to use his playmaking. He's set his linemates up with 3 golden scoring opportunities. Twice when, arguably, he should've just used his shot. Playing a good game so far, though.

He really is looking a lot better today, much more engaged in the offensive zone. Being a playmaking center is the way to go for him right now in my book ,his lack of strength and foot speed is less of an issue when he's looking to set his linemates up instead of trying to go to the net. Lavoie and Tavi are good wingers for him, they're both decent at finding open space.

That was fun. Ikonen does look good at center. Most importantly he seems to have adapted to the pace of the Liiga game. Could've had some points tonight if he opted to shoot or if one of the egregious plugs he's playing with could pick a corner.

I am a fan of this kid. I think Habs should be signing him to an ELC before his season is over.

Poehling is Galchenyuks dream center. Fast, physical, two way player with playmaking skills. For AGs sake, I hope he moves quickly.

Didn't finish watching Poehling's game, saw most of it though. He played well, was on the PP and PK and in the top 6. Crazy game, I missed the first few minutes and it was already 2-0 Alaska which was a big shock. I assume SCSU maybe took them a little lightly since Alaska was one of the worst teams in the NCAA last year. After going down 2-0 they gave up another just as their own PP ended and their players got caught in a line change and the rest had tired legs. But after being down 3-0 they started getting better and better as the game went on.
Poehling from this one game, looks like he needs to add more lower body strength but not surprising since he's 18. He moves well though with good speed/skating. He's smart and hard working at both ends. Had a nice scoring chance in the slot with a quick turnaround shot that just went wide. Made a nice pass to set up his linemate right in front of the goalie all alone but he couldn't burry it. Then he setup a goal on the PP. I will watch the final 9 minutes of the game in the am.
Poehling with 3 pts in 2 games so far. He's already got half the assists in 2 games then he had last year (6) but I would expect his totals to go up as he's going to get PP time and top 6 time so hopefully he can crack the 30 pt mark.
They can't sign him until his season is over with Notre Dame.
AHL next year, he can't play in the NCAA after this year as he's a Senior.

Despite his -1, Ikonen had a solid game against Kärpät today. In general killed his opponents plays in his zone, kept his team's plays alive in the opponent's zone, and set up his ECHL fodder linemates with some scoring chances, had a few of his own. The points will come if he keeps playing like this.

I do not think Evans is that far away. He might be ready next year to step in.

And in the SHL no less, one of the top leagues in the world. nice to see some of these centers playing well and producing. It should make those who follow the prospect pool feel better about the Habs' biggest weakness moving forward.

I was very vocal here about Evans not needing to go back to ND for his senior year, so I'm not surprised about his dominant start. I expect an easy 50+ points season from him.
