Burakovsky with a nice game tonight, played strong defensively.

Scored the dagger on a breakaway to make it 2-0 with just over a minute left.

Erie up 3-0 going for the sweep tomorrow night.

Who is that Greyhounds player with a full on beard at the end of the bench? Thought this was junior hockey.

Alex Gudbranson, nicknamed "The Beard", not kidding.

Is he draft eligible? Ever since Ovi's Gillette deal, this team has lacked the scruff to compete on a nightly basis

That's an Alzner-esque like beard

Thought it was because he once dated Ellen DeGeneres.

Burakovsky with 1+1 as Erie sweeps Sault Ste Marie. Now they can sit back and see who emerges from the Guelph/London series.

Definitely glad Burakovsky decided to come over and play for Erie. He already had experienced the challenge of playing against full grown men in Sweden and now he has a season of adapting to the North American rink/style. Not to mention the challenge of playoff hockey and playing a leading role on his squad.

Hopefully, he can keep it up next season in Hershey - where I hope he's headed. For that matter, I'd like to see him there on a line with Wilson.

Whoever it is, it'll be a banged up, tired team, with a lot of momentum though. We'll see how it plays out.

I haven't watched any NCAA this year but Boyd looks really good in this Championship game.

Agreed, he is one of those prospects that you forget about but he looks solid, top 5 in points on one of the best teams in the country. He should go back for his senior year and then devolop in Hershey for a year or 2

Burakovsky 1+1 in a loss

Unfortunately for the young Swedish forward, that lead lasted for just 25 seconds until Bertuzzi tied the game again. Guelph’s Ryan Horvat would score the game winner soon thereafter.

Erie taking a page out of the Caps play book. He'll fit in nicely here.

Burakovsky with a goal, but Erie is down 2 games to 0

Bowey got a goal and an assist last night too.

Kelowna's Game 1 comeback over Portland is on NHLN currently.

What Caps are gonna do with Jaynen Rissling?

I think that it would be good idea to sign an ELC with him. 6'4 / 204, has been a captain for his team Calgary Hitmen for this season. Physical, 105 PIM and has also scored quite well on this season; in 54 games 8+29=37 points. Plusminus +4.

#Caps have traded defenseman Jaynen Rissling to Nashville for a 7th round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft.

What's the point... might as well keep him and see if he pans out, no? Unless they didn't plan to sign him...

What does Nashville know about evaluating defensemen anyway?

Given the amount of time that passed since Calgary was eliminated it's not surprising. If they were going to sign him it should have happened already. They could have signed him a year ago and turned him pro due to his late birthdate but didn't. IMO Cajkovsky brings everything to the table that Rissling does and then some. So as long as they keep him around one way or another it's not much of a loss organizationally. We're talking about a 6/7 at best.

Still curious whether Djoos gets signed or not. That one's a bit trickier since he'll probably want to remain with Brynas for now but it ought to be done. Hard to believe they couldn't get a late pick for him as well if not.
