Prospect Info: 2021 NHL Prospect Showcase | September 18th - 21st | AdventHealth Center Ice in Wesley Chapel

Miftakhov not over-moving is a good sign if he's Orlando-bound.

TB not getting PPs here either until now.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

First pp unit for the Bolts

Dureau - Ryfors - Cajkovic - Jones - Thompson

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Another nice goal for Ryfors between the hashes

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

This Cajkovic - Ryfors - Fortier line could be a good one for Syracuse if Ryfors doesn't make the Lightning

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Baby Bolts win 5-2

Good game for Ryfors. No surprise but the guy who scored 25 goals in the SHL last year can indeed score goals. As the oldest and most experienced player on the ice, he took care of business. I thought Finley looked good. He made a nice pass on the first goal of the game to Morand. I think that's something we all want to see, what's his ceiling? He moves around well for a big 6'5" / 6'6" player. He had a board battle with someone and muscled him off his feet, as he should. Morand I thought was solid as well.

My favorite line though was the McDonnell - MacDonald - Element line. After losing Gourde, Coleman, Goodrow, watch us just reload. My first time seeing McDonnell, he's small but so sturdy on his feet. He forechecks and plays hard. Like a Yanni Gourde, not afraid to get his nose dirty or initiate contact. In the words of Al Murray, he's a bolt. MacDonald was nice and physical. Same with Element. Element's on a 2 year AHL deal out of the QMJHL, but he looks like a guy who could earn a NHL contract down the road.

The only player I was really disappointed in was Lipanov. This is a big year for him, #3 on his ELC. I was kinda hoping to see more from him, but didn't get it.

Nashville kind of didn't look ready for games yet (normally where we are).

Finley has me the most excited from this group, hope he gets more opportunities to showcase his skillset.

 

[DFC]

How did Fortier look? I saw him pre-covid and he was easily the fastest player in the game.

 

[Felonious Python]

 

[Felonious Python]

Not the first time Stan Bowman has been late with the paperwork.

 

[Felonious Python]

Del Gaizo? More like Dumb guys, yo.

Preds 2, Cats 5 after the first. We've got to keep yesterday's game in context.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

This was Carolina's lineup from yesterday



13th overall pick Seth Jarvis is their top prospect here. He's linemates with Dureau back in Portland.



Ryfors and Green sit today. Avery Winslow and Cormier will play

 

[Peacefool]

[TheDaysOf 04]

Miftakhov is starting again but I saw Alnefelt step on the ice. They could split this game and then have Alnefelt start Game 3

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Weird scuffle between Jack Drury and Huntington

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Avery Winslow scores!!!

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Lightning making their presence known. Finley mobs a Canes behind the net and then MacDonald sends another player off his feet with a big hit

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Cormier scored on the PP.

Both invites get on the board

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Element, MacDonald, Schmidt in the middle of a scrum now
