Edmonton is down 2-0. so... in tough

 

[Nyquillus Dillwad]

A solid night all-around.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Oilers must be really confused. Playing against a team with Dubnyk in net, they must be like, "I thought scoring on this guy was easy"

 

[ShooterMikgaven]

Chychrun is Ekblad/Doughty level dman prospect out of the OHL

Want the Leafs to draft him

He's good. Watched him play tonight for the Sting, had a nice goal. He wears an A for Sarnia as a rookie already and looks like he's about 25 years old, future captain material.

 

[Apotheosis]

I know matthews is the arizona kid who are the others?

Pulj I believe is Finnish IIRC. Dominant winger and is blowing away numbers Barkov put out in his draft year and still has games in hand. Chychrun is a first year defence man but probably one of the best defensive prospects in the last couple of years. Unanimous top 3. Sean Day used to be in there but his lack of hockey IQ dropped him a lot.

Hahahaha amazing post.

tank you vm

 

[stakesishigh]

Important defeat tonight fellas.

Good to see Kozun get his first goal.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

2-0 Minny.

Edmonton doing what they do best.

This man knows.

 

[burpsalot]

Guaranteed 4 point with number 1 line on for the pulled goalie. Horachek is da man.

 

[Territory]

Edmonton is blowing it.

The Oilers are tank master generals so it really isn't that surprising. But the Leafs have shown tons of promise these last few months. As soon as Winnik is either traded or gets the tanking memo we'll give Oil a run for their money.

Puljujarvi is Finnish. He's in the range of 6'2-6'3 at 16, looks a lot like Ovie, especially in the way he plays. *I AM NOT SAYING HE IS OVIE* but he's a shooter, played very well at the World Juniors as a 16-year old and was simply snakebitten. Will throw the body too.

Chychrun does look super composed, definitely top 3 if not the #1 guy by the time its all said and done as far as I'm concerned.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

I would have to disagree. Blowing it would be if they actually had a lead to work with. This is just Edmonton being Edmonton.

 

[Apotheosis]

More than a year away it's hardly set in stone. There's plenty of guys near all three of those players level. Sokolov, Krys, Benson all could be in the mix

Indeed. I just can't see that top 3 changing even marginally to be honest. They're all so close talent wise. It just depends on who's drafting.

 

[p.l.f.]

sabres lose

Puljularvi - Big Finnish winger and as said he may have Kovy/Ovy potential, he has an elite shot. I think he's easily a better Finnish prospect than Barkov. Was playing in the Ligga league but is frustrated by the chances he wasn't given on it, he's in the junior league now.

Chychrun - 6'2 LD, Playing top pair on Sarnia and is similar to Doughty IMO.

Chychrun beside Letang

 

[TankNationTillDeath]

Leafs biggest threat is opponents giving them the buffalo treatment and playing their 3rd stringers in the rest game.. tanks for listening

 

[Canada4Gold]

So we were in a playoff spot on January 8th. Now we could potentially finish bottom 2. Has that ever happened before? That's an epic level of collapse turning into a tank really fast.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Wooohooo!!!

Then it will all come down to team position at the draft. Do we go for defence or wingers? The common formula to win is to build out from the net. We'll see come next draft, haha.

 

[TML1]

Even Buffalos impressed with our Tank!

 

[Eb]

when is t hall back?

4-5 weeks away still.
