Lucky goal though

All our prospects are garbage though...

Lucky goal though

For a tall person, that is some dirty stickwork with zero space and being twisted like that..and he roofs it.

 

[PBPantherfan]

Lucky? That was filthy. Also now 2 goals 1 assist after the game. This kid will not play one game in the AHL unless they assign him there after the college season but I think he goes straight to the biggies.

It was sarcasm. The best part is the goalie just sitting there with his glove out frozen like FML how did he do that.

Must be your prospect bias rearing its ugly head, lol.

All players, teams, and organizations, take a linear path to success, anyone not obviously progressing year after year MUST have no chance as they are trending downwards... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Also wanted to touch on Hunts debut last night. Heavy in the corners first back on the back check, aware with the puck, didnt try to just throw it to the open man. For another free agent signee that had NO chance to succeed... Well, it was a fine start. IMO.

Another pick most were sure was a disaster. Keks can pick for me anytime.

He was passed over in the entire draft his first year.
He was playing second tier Finnish junior league his second year.
No WJC time.

Why waste a pick on a guy that has not been improving like all top prospects do, right?

Hell most said Hepo was waste too, some should stop speculating and understand, that young men, have many many paths available to become successful pros.

Its about developing them properly.

The thing I liked most about Hunt last night was the way he got the puck out of the defensive zone. No panic didn’t just chuck it up the boards to turn it over. I may be just scarred from watching this team treat the puck like a handgrenade in their own zone for so long but it was nice to see a guy who didn’t panic and made the right play.

Imagine a Troy Terry Borgstrom and Trocheck line. Ducks will never trade him thkugh. I can already see I’ll be buying a Borgstrom jersey and not just because he’s a Finn and damn good. He just has that infectious attitude and explodes when he scores. He’s literally the opposite of Barkov. Haha

I like that too. Feels like it fires up the guys.

I don't like the whole sliding across the ice type of celebrations though. Barkov needs to show some emotion jeez lol.

I haven't been this excited for a prospect in a while. He looks like he's gonna be a game changer.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Springfield wins 6-4!?!?

Valk has been a decent pick up. 12pts in 15 games.
Bystrom in his first game gets 2 assists.
Malgin with 2 goals and an assist
Monty gets the win.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Henrik Buststrom with only a secondary assist tonight. Time to trade him while value is high. It was a fun run. I want at least a 5th rounder.

Yup, down 3-0 at the end of one they staged a furious comeback. Hawryluk and Downing scratched or hurt. Buckles continues to disappoint after playing well on ATO at the end of last season. Tony Turgeon brought up from ECHL to stir things up. Nice crowd on hand of 6700. Must be nice with their record to play in front of larger crowds than the Cats.

Downing scratched, Hawryluk hurt.

You got it backwards. Downing hurt, hawryluk scratched.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Malgin gets two goals and the brilliant Kinnear puts him on the 4th line :thinking emoji:

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

On a side note, Ang

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Malgin gets two goals and the brilliant Kinnear puts him on the 4th line :thinking emoji:

Valk and Malgin both with 5 pts in their last 2 games. Grenier has been doing his part.

Are they starting to find some chemistry or just getting lucky?
I see Providence scored 3 goals in the 2nd, they were down by 3 last night as well.
The PP went 3/3 so that probably a big reason for the win.

On a side note, Ang

He's been Peterborough's best player by far. I said it before and will say it again, think Trocheck 2.0

Outside of Borgstrom, definitely my fave prospect we have. Hepo is tearing it up too. Just feels good to have so many of them doing well.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

That would be absolutely insane.

I don't see it though, at least not yet.

Tro exploded draft+2 season, Ang should be hitting +100 points this year for him to make some noise.

He's on a 38-39 goal, 97pt pace right now, 5th in league scoring and his team leader in goals, assists and points as well as PIMS which is shocking. Hopefully he's not keeping that last trend moving forward. He's progressed every year like Trocheck and also wears #21.

One of our better 4th round picks that I can remember.

I'm not saying he's better than Trocheck, more a lesser version of him. Maybe I should have said Trocheck-lite? but he's taller than Trocheck and will probably outweigh him once he fills out.

 

[batting1k]

Wrong. Hawryluk is injured. Downing is scratched. Sometimes I actually do know more than you

I still see a good bottom-6 player as of now. He doesn't scream top-6 to me, and his numbers certainly don't back up him being a Tro 2.o.

Ideally he'd make a great 3C, we will find out next year what he can do in tougher competition when he moves on from OHL. His speed is his greatest weapon, too early to say if he's not a top 6 guy but I agree he's better suited for the bottom 6.
We have any information on whether he's planning on college or AHL?

Downing left Wednesdays game so I know for a fact that he is hurt. See you know less than me!

At least your loyal, you will lie just to protect your boys......

And what's your explanation for Hawryluk?

 

[bluegod29]

And what's your explanation for Hawryluk?

Not sure about hawryluk, but I'm guessing poor play. Have to call it as I see it. He's been terrible.... Hopefully he turns it around at some point.

It's fine if you believe that. I'm not scared to say he's healthy scratched if he was. I could really care less. But he isn't so...
