Chekhovich with a tip to get his team into OT.

He scored?

He scored?

I thought so, but looks like the box score says he didnt tip it.

Hard to tell in that shot, but it's all good. Just hoping he's in San Jose at some point.

This is encouraging to read

It’s not just that Bordeleau is scoring, though. He has the ability to take over shifts and has such tremendous feel for how to create offense. He opens so much up with his skill and smarts that it makes his linemates a bigger threat. Brendan Brisson has certainly been a beneficiary of Bordeleau’s high-end playmaking as much as anyone.

We're gonna be in a good place if Bordeleau is the next Aho.

How about Point? Similar size (same height, Bordeleau is like 10 pounds heavier), similar type of players.

I was thinking more of the draft position. IIRC Aho was drafted in the early 2nd but was hyped as being one of the better/best players in the draft by prospect nerds but ultimately fell because of his size.

Yeah you are right but Point fell for the same reasons but fell further because of him being a few inches smaller than Aho and like 20 pounds lighter. Point was a mid-late third if I’m remembering right. Some where between like picks 80-90 and Aho was like picks 35-40. I’d be overjoyed with Bordeleau becoming either. Honestly I’d be happy with Bordeleau becoming a 2nd line C.

Aho is 6ft

Man, we could have drafted both Barzal and Aho

 

[Desert Eagle]

Chekhovich - 1 goal, 2 SOG, “-1”, 20:28. Torpedo lost 1:4.

Even Rantanen and Aho would be fun. Imagine them on a line together.

Bordeleau had 3 points in 2 games this weekend

Torpedo lost and is now down 3 games to zero. No goals for Torpedo. Chekhovich should be free to come over here soon.

I did notice some interesting columns on the game summary - average speed, maximum speed, time on attack, and puck control distance. Chekhovich topped out at 30.47 kph (18.9 mph), which was third-lowest on his team among forwards and ahead of only five forwards in the game. The previous two games show pretty much the same story - Chekhovich appears to top out at about 19 mph. For comparison, Labanc topped out at about 21 mph when he scored the tying goal against Vegas on Friday.

I don't know if this means anything important, but I thought it was interesting.

The black jerseys are playing defense like the Sharks!

Sorry I can't remember... Checkhovich is already signed but Dahlen isn't? Assuming you must know since you think he's coming over? If so would sure be great to see if he can translate to the NHL.

This appears to be correct.

All season long he has same digits so we should realize that he isn`t very fast. On the positive side, his wrist shot is awesome.

I believe speed has been a nock on him previously but what really matters is how quickly does he get to that top speed and how well he skates overall

It is worth noting that his average speed ranked in the middle of the pack among forwards. That implies to me that either his acceleration to top speed is pretty good, or he's always moving at a decent clip. I think either would be a good sign.

how's Merkley doing in the AHL? What about his defensive play?

how's Merkley doing in the AHL? What about his defensive play?

There's some discussion about Merkley here:
Speculation: - 2020-2021 Sharks Roster Discussion Part 7

But most of the discussion will be in the Barracuda (AHL team) thread.
