Prospect Info: Jacob Olofsson

[Habs Halifax]

I'll have a better feel after this season, I want to see how Olofsson handles the SHL since I got to see several of DLR's SHL games at 18 and he actually was pretty good and in a very similar situation where at 17 his team was in the 2nd league but at 18 their teams were promoted to the SHL.

Poehling I saw a lot of this past season, almost every game and I was very impressed with the little things he does. I just need to see how much progress he makes in his offensive game, if it continues then I feel safe in saying he'll be a 2nd line center for us baring injury. If it stays the same I'll see him more as a 3rd line center that maybe can be a 2nd line center.

The question is when does Olofsson come over, as I assume Poehling turns pro at the end of the year unless he wants to finish his Senior year with his brothers since it will likely be the last time they play together outside of pickup games.

Is Poehling's brothers senior year this year or next year? I was thinking about that this past summer.

he advanced a year to enter college the same time as them, so all 3 are Juniors this season.

Oh, I was under the understanding that he advanced to join them but they already played a full year. Not sure why I assumed this.

Timra takes the lead. Sebastian Collberg scored it and it was a beauty. Exactly like the Scherbak goal against Fleury in Vegas.

watching Olofsson today, missed most of the 1st, he didn't get on the ice at all for the first 6 minutes or so of the 2nd but then started playing a regular shift. Maybe the penalty messed things up. He played 5:06 in the 1st, 5:00 in the 2nd. 1-0 Timra in the 3rd.

I will be giffing him later tonight if I find some good sequence from him.

I didn't see his shifts in the 1st but he did have a shot on goal. In the 2nd he did very little, one play he was skating around with the puck but other then that not much. Good speed/skating though. His line scored in the 3rd, Hallander but he was moving back to the point to cover for the D man.

Yikes, hope that isn't a serious head injury.

 

[Hannibal]

We have trouble keeping our prospect healthy ffs...

Hope it's nothing serious and a quick recovery! Finger crossed.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Dam that looked dangerous. It's the boards perpendicular to the main boards that he hit. Shoulder injury?

 

[BIG GIFS]

Not a lot of things from Olofsson in this game, but I found 3 sequences from him.

He looks strong enough to play in the AHL. Would be good to get used to the north american game sooner rather than later.

How about we let him develop his offense... we dont need him to be ready asap

That's not the habs way though, we need him centering our 1st line next year.

 

[Schwang]

Geez. Do other teams' prospects get hurt this much?
Hope he can play in the world juniors.

 

[otto bond]

Looks like Bulis...

Shows how much Grant knows. Timra is playing at noon ET today and Olofsson is not in the line-up.

Good, turns out it was a minor injury.
