Here’s the highlights for Rasmussen’s game

Highlights: Americans (5) at Rockets (0) – WHL Network

His hand eye is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Claypool]

FWIW, my Brother was at the game and he felt Ras and Valimaki were the most dominant players on the Ice.

He’s a good player. Not sure why people continue to discredit the pick.

 

[Christien]

His hand eye is absolutely ridiculous.

Agreed. He’s gonna be the best net front guy in the NHL one day. His size and hand-eye is top notch.

 

[SirloinUB]

His hand eye is absolutely ridiculous.

Yup. His puck skills get underrated.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

His hand eye is absolutely ridiculous.

What I legitimately don't understand is how a guy like Rasmussen or Holmstrom even can have such great hand-eye when tipping pucks, and yet somehow not translate that into great puckhandling skill. Like do they have good vertical hand-eye but not good horizontal hand-eye or something?

 

[WingsMike]

Are the Wings not going to sign David Pope?

I don’t really think the two are linked that much. Just different skill sets (IMO). Rasmussen is pretty coordinated, especially for a guy his size with long ass limbs. At his size he’s probably been able to drive the net effectively at every level by just using his reach and body and controlling the puck from defenders. Small guys can’t do that and need to be evasive and beat you by making you miss.

 

[DInTheB]

Ras has two goals tonight.

 

[Christien]

Cholowski had 2 goals tonight too, with 5 shots and a +1

 

[TheMule93]

Cholowski 2 goals tonight

Rasmussen another 2g 1a game, and hes still playing

edit: he just got another assist, 2g 2a

 

[Christien]

Highlights for Cholowski’s game. His wrap around goal at 1:41 was really nice

HIGHLIGHTS – Hawks Battle in Game One But Fall in OT to Spokane – Portland Winterhawks


And Rasmussen’s game
HIGHLIGHTS: Tri-City(9) at Kelowna(7) – Kelowna Rockets

 

[Pavels Dog]

7 points in 2 playoff games is pretty good.

 

[Marky9er]

7 points in 2 playoff games is pretty good.

Especially considering they were on the road. Not some massive favorite matchup.

Speaking of CHL playoffs I didn't know Igor Larionov had a time machine.

Great to see. Super intrigued by what will come of Ras.

 

[Henkka]

Was there some comparison for Jamie Benn at some point?

I love to see those things Cholowski does. Kind of goes "crazy" and tries some game-breaking things. Highest guy finishing an offence and wrap-around. It's not the only time he has done that.

He will be entertaning player.

Tkachuk and Hughes too, not our prospects... But maybe

 

[drwings40]

Cholo: game winning power play goal
Ras: goal + two primary assists

Was going to post this.

Strong start to the playoffs for both players for sure. Rasmussen was second star. Pretty sure thats 10 points in 3 playoff games for him now

Edited for shit numbers

3 games played

10 points

 

[newfy]

3 games played

10 points

I was on his page on WHL.com and it says 3 GP, 9 points so I just added the points to that from tonight. Hockey DB says 2 games, 7 points so I wasnt sure what the issue was. Maybe his stat page hadnt added one point for tonight, either way youre correct.

3 games 10 points 5 of which are goals

[ChadS]

Saginaw (Gilmour, Webb) eliminated by Sambrook's SSM last night (4-0).

 

[Ezekial]

I think Rasmussen having 10 points thru 3 games is as crazy as Dube having 0. Keep it up big Mike.
