oooh, another great chance by Meier

 

[Gene Parmesan]

The puck sure jumps off his stick. Very Jeff Carter like.

Marner had the game on his stick and *clank!

He'll fit right in with the Leafs

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Overtime!

They have a pretty ridiculous group of prospects (I'm including Matthews).

 

[Episkey]

Timo so damn close!

Also that Tkachuk post.

 

[sr228]

London has no answer for the Perron line!

Grade A chances for both teams stymied by great goaltending.

 

[Sharksrule04]

They're getting good chances when Timo is out there.

 

[Episkey]

Damn it.

 

[Led Zappa]

Bummer

 

[Juxtaposer]

Really undeserved win for London. They were severely outplayed.

 

[sr228]

What a play by Tkachuk to win that! Dvorak may get credit for that goal.

The Huskies played a great game & ran into a goalie on top of his game.

Marner looks like he could be Couture's little brother.

I'm honestly really annoyed and I literally don't give a crap about CHL hockey. Toronto fanboys are going to be squealing about Marner for years even though he was really bad by his standards in this game. Tkachuk did everything.

Marner had an unreal tournament even if he wasn't far & away the best player on the ice in this game like he was in the others, he deserves the MVP.

Game ends shortly after I tune in...sorry

Can we please have an update on Timo?

Some of our posters who wern't in favor of the Timo pick said they want to see how he does against the best of the best (Ie the Memorial Cup). How did he go? Where does he stand in your minds now?

Serious question, I didn't watch any of it.

He did pretty good from what I saw but his play against men will be the next question to answer. I think he's proven all he can at the junior level.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Yeah he looked pretty unstoppable for long stretches of the Memorial Cup. Next stop AHL/NHL.

For me, Meier was pretty meh after the 1st round of the Q playoffs.

I thought he was mostly good (he was great in 2 games, pretty good in the others) in the Memorial Cup where he used the assets that made the Sharks take him in the top 10...his size, strength, elite shot & underrated playmaking abilities.

As for what my opinion of him now vs. when he was drafted...it hasn't changed too much though I've been impressed with the improvement of his passing / playmaking abilities and while I don't think his skating is high end he showed some elite edge work and balance throughout the tournament which was great to see.

He's always been a "hard worker" so to see him improve in areas that needed improvement is obviously a great sign.

The next step for him will be how he does when he's not the biggest, strongest guy on the ice.

 

[Groo]

Looks like the perfect Shark.

Can skate, shoot and pass.

Uses large body well.

Uses size to absorb hits.

Huge sponge

Yep, pretty much ideal.

 

[Gilligans Island]

Man, with Meier and Goldobin waiting in the wings, our team next season could be shaping up better than this season.

If Meier and/or Goldobin don't make the NHL, then they'll get some more seasoning in the AHL. Good situation for us.

 

[do0glas]

I want Meier-hertl-goldobin pls
