Brett Ritchie

9 goals in 2 games.. damn.

Damn, exactly, watched 10 minutes of the 1st and didn't hear his name once and I was watching the game just to see him (I am a big fan). Had to go to the grocery store and make supper. Checked the score after supper and he had 5 goals. He has the tools, an ape like reach, the big boy size, when he wants to bring it - watch out everyone!!! Love the guy, hope he continues to bring it!!!

for sure. At the combine he had a slightly longer reach than Jamie Oleksiak despite the 5 inch height difference.

nicely done ! : http://www.ontariohockeyleague.com/article/icedogs-ritchie-ohl-player-of-the-week/130915

...going to be tough to take it to the next level though, 6 or 7 goals on Friday night will be difficult !!

Man, this kid is on fire right now.

16 goals in his last 8 games.

Could've easily had more in that span, too. That line is scorching hot.

 

[FrailSwan]

He screams James Neal.

 

[Vaclav Varada]

He screams James Neal.

That's an odd thing to scream.

 

[Sticks and Pucks]

He screams James Neal.

Not quite. Neal was the best player on his team in his 19-year-old season. Ritchie could be just a byproduct of Strome's success.

Have you watched them play or are you just reading names and stats?

I saw highlights of two games and on majority of his goals, Strome gave him the puck but his work to the net or pure snipe were the reasons he got his goals.

Exactly this.

Was somewhat impressed with his WJC showing, for what little time he got, but I only saw the two games against the US as well. His set-up to Strome was pretty sick in the 1st game.

I don't think Strome carries that line at all. If anyone's just a by-product, it's Theoret. Ritchie and Strome benefit from playing with each other, but both can carry that line if needed. By-products of another player don't put up the insane stats he has, and he's looked impressive on his own as well.
