Which name bothers you, Drew or Helleson?

Drew is an ok name. It’s a lot better than Blaine. Blaine sounds like someone who often likes to have a good cry.

It's the combination. Drew can work, as with Doughty, but Helleson commands a punchier name; a no-helmet, giant mustache type of name.

Hank Helleson would be better?

Drew is the name a guy that previously went by Andy goes with when he gets out of anger management and wants everyone to think he's calm, cool and collected now.

 

[Avalanche]

Sorry guys, but Drew Helleson is just a weak hockey name. Trade him while there's still value.

You're crazy. The "Helly Celly" headlines are already written and sitting in the drafts folder

 

[Foppa2118]

Drew's new nickname.

I am disturbed by Avs nicknames like Josty, Burky and Landy.

And... this is how we know the Avs are on break

Can anyone that has watched BC comment on how Ambrosio has looked. 11 points in 15 seems pretty good for a freshman.

I know his celebrations are on point.



BC Interruption has good hockey talk if you are interested.

Some good quotes on how Helleson, Ambrosio, and Newhook are doing at BC this season:

Boston College Men’s Hockey Weekend (and midweek) Thoughts

Friday night’s overtime win against BU ended with a goal of the year candidate from Drew Helleson that I think we could all benefit from watching again:
That’s just an incredible play from Helleson, who has taken a massive step forward after what had already been an impressive freshman season. This was just a glimpse of some of the individual talent he can flash, but his entire game really has rounded into form in a way that I didn’t really expect, at least not this quickly.

Along with Ambrosio, Eamon Powell, and a few others, this looks like an awfully strong freshman class for the Eagles.

NEWHOOK RETURNS TO SOME MIXED RESULTS
One bit of excellent news we got before Friday’s game was that Alex Newhook would finally be able to draw back into the lineup after playing just one prior game for the Eagles. Newhook immediately took his spot on alongside Matt Boldy and Mike Hardman on a line that looked flat out dominant towards the end of last season.
And for the most part, the line looked good. Not dominant, but good, particularly on Friday night. They didn’t manage to score at even strength, but they did create some good scoring chances and put pressure on the BU defense pretty regularly. Newhook and Boldy also connected on a power play goal on Friday night, but Newhook’s return certainly didn’t solve all of the team’s problems on the man advantage as some of us may have hoped.
Newhook showed some rust after coming back from a lengthy injury, but that wasn’t all that surprising and the good in his game definitely outweighed the bad. If he and his line can get back to where they were during the second half of last season, they’ll be a force every time they step on the ice.

 

[Pokecheque]

Unfortunately I think Boldy is going to be a hell of a player for the Wylde. A perfect linemate for someone like Kaprizov.

He did a lot more for Newhook last year than stat-watchers will understand. Newhook was dominant no doubt, but Boldy played a part.

Yeah, the Wild forward group is going to be loaded very soon.

It’s already pretty good, soon it will be among the best in the league.

Their winger depth will be among the best with Boldy, Fiala, Kaprizov, Greenway, and Rossi but I have a hard time calling it best in the league or even close with that center depth. I don't think Rossi will be a center in the NHL. Eriksson Ek may become a good #2C, I don't see #1 potential though.

ahh must be me since im an andy to family and close friends LOL really andre but yeah


with a bad tamper too like foppa when i played xD

Rossi’s development is a big part of it for sure. As for Eriksson Ek, I don’t know if it will last, but he’s certainly played like a 1C this season.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they surpass the Avs forward group in a couple years.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Can anyone that has watched BC comment on how Ambrosio has looked. 11 points in 15 seems pretty good for a freshman.

He’s been good, speedy and involved in the play. Pleasantly surprised at his defense too. Reminds me a bit like Conor Garland. A couple weeks ago looked like he was fighting through something, he just could not hold the puck at all and stopped taking draws. He’s better now and I think was back to his old self last weekend. I do think he’s better at center and he’s on the wing now to stay in the top 6. The production is legit, hasn’t come cheaply at all.

 

[henchman21]

Nestorenko and Khusnutdinov have real potential at center, and many still like Boldy at center too. The Wild have been gobbling up talent the last few drafts. I'm not a fan of all of their picks, but they are starting to build quite the pool. Grabbing Addison the Pens trade last year really helps their defensive group going forward. He's going to be a top 4 guy real soon.

Bracket's finger prints are all over the last draft. They did extremely well, grabbing Rossi at 9, then Khusnutdinov, O'Rourke, Hunt, Novak. Great haul. They're building something really good there for the first time, unfortunately.

Rossi and Khusnutdinov are very solid prospects (though I think they will regret passing on Lundell), but wasn't a huge fan of the last three picks. Especially O'Rourke. Novak was a worthy chance to take if his skating can clean up. The 2019 draft looks like their real gem of a draft. They have a legit chance at 3-4 NHL players from that draft.

And the 2015 draft. Eriksson EK, Greenway, and Kaprizov is a pretty good haul.
