My boy!

Did Lindstrom make team Sweden?

They didn't announce the final roster yet.

Actually Kotkansalo may not be safe yet, Finland still has 21 players and you can only use 20.

Kotkansalo and Lindstrom made it.

 

[ChadS]

Kotkansalo and Lindstrom made it.

Finland still needs to make one cut, they're holding on to an extra guy probably due to a minor injury.

So it was my first time watching Kotkansalo tonight vs. Canada let's just say he has a long way to go.

He was directly at fault for 2 goals against. The first one he let the player walk right around him to score. The second one he left his man wide open at the side of the next and the guy scored with a one timer.

Finland was supposed to have one of the best defenses in the tournament and it looked like a Detroit with Kotkansalo being the worst of the bunch.

It was one game but I didnt like what I saw from him.

Keep in mind the other 5 defenseman are all 1st rounders on Finland. So he should look worst of the bunch, to be perfectly honest.

Patrick Holway has 13 points in 14 games at Maine.

 

[Henkka]

Patrick Holway has 13 points in 14 games at Maine.

Interesting. He had same 4+9=13 points last season in 33 games.

 

[SirloinUB]

2 goals and 2 assists for Cholowski

 

[drwings40]

2 goals and 2 assists for Cholowski

Highlights: Cougars (7) at Giants (6) — OT – WHL Network

His 1st assist was a thing of a beauty and than a game-tying goal 1 second left while shorthanded.

Could have had six points that game. The last second goal in the 3rd was crazy.

 

[ChadS]

Pearson 1+1
Holway 1+0
Pope 1+1
Smith 1+0
Fraser 0+1
Gilmour 0+1

Here's two Maine vs RPI highlights from this weekend (Holway #2, Pearson #12):

 

[Go Wings]

Interesting. He had same 4+9=13 points last season in 33 games.

Holway is a very intriguing prospect. That is a huge improvement.

 

[SimplySolace]

Cholo with 2 more goals:

Highlights: Giants 4 Cougars 3 OT (Jan 1) – Prince George Cougars

 

[Leronziia]

Damn Cholo, keep beasting it.

I didn't even know we had that many goalies in the system. I they really are hunting right-handed defencemen.

David Pope is in his senior year at University of Nebraska-Omaha.
He broke out as a junior with 13-18-31.
He's even better this year. 11-12-23 in 18 games.
Are the Red Wings going to sign him?
He might be best off going the UFA route at this point.

Why? Is it somehow easier to get an NHL chance in some better level roster? Red Wings crap roster is one of easiest to get an NHL job. Why look somewhere else? He also knows everybody after all summer camps he has been involved.

Cool story. Hope he has found joy in offseason training now though, I’ve really liked his game at the WJCs but he needs to work on his skating to really become something.
