LD Owen Power - Univ. of Michigan, NCAA (2021 Draft)

[William H Bonney]

I've conceded I was wrong about this year - and conceding being wrong is not something we see very often in HF.

Having said that, I strongly believe that if Power wants to ensure he is a go for next year (no matter where we stand with Covid), he needs to assert himself because I don't believe Michigan or the coach will put his interest above their own.

If Michigan is a higher a priority for Power than the WJR's, then the status quo will do just fine.

By his interest you mean your interest. He doesn't need to assert himself if he's doing what he wants to do.

By his interest you mean your interest. He doesn't need to assert himself if he's doing what he wants to do.

But that's what I said...

"...if Power wants to ensure he is a go for next year <for the WJR's>..."

"If Michigan is a higher priority..."

Depending on what Power wants to do, he can act or not act, but I would not count on Michigan/the coach putting Power's interest above their own, because that's not the way life works.

 

[WRC]

All I know is he’ll be here til December 10th and the 2nd half will start probably after the 1st of the year. After that it’s on him.

So that's a no. .... Good answer.

Maybe YOUR life...

If it was ME...and come December 10th and they told me no thanks...you’re damn skippy I’d tell them to get bent...he’ll be drafted by then

Maybe YOUR life...

If you think people get to positions of power (like head of a university or the head coach of an NCAA hockey team) by putting other people's interests ahead of their own, then you live in a better world than I do.

If you think people get to positions of authority (like head of a University or the head coach of an NCAA hockey team) by putting other people's interests ahead of their own, then you live in a better world than I do.

Shitting on your players is a good way to be unemployed real quick. You’re grabbing at straws Pal

 

[ORRFForever]

So that's a no. .... Good answer.

This year is a done deal. He's not going to play at the WJR's and he (apparently) feels staying at Michigan is in his best interest.

If that's the case, it's his life/his choice and good for him.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Probably a dumb question, but I haven't seen him play. How much does he actually use his size?

... Because I read 6' 5" 215 pounds and I'm over here drooling over the idea of small, skilled NHL forwards shitting their pants coming toward a Power-Seider pairing.

Someone else feels the same way you do...

Is that being streamed? (for free)

 

[William H Bonney]

Nice pass to Cam York for his first NCAA point.

 

[DInTheB]

Just had a second assist as well

Beautiful read on that pass.

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Well, Owen Power sure can pass the puck.

 

[FireBird71]

Goal and 2 assists...I’m enjoying this

Power checks his phone after the game.

Team Canada: wyd

We’ll see when they don’t do dick...good luck with Holland HAHA

I actually like the direction the team is heading in and some of Holland’s picks. He had a good offseason signing some pretty solid depth players.

Anyways, this is a Power thread not a McDavid thread. Good start to his NCAA career, he’s a massive kid I think he’s one and done. He’ll be in the NHL next year after he goes 1st overall.

You’re an NCAA guy, I watched the Wisconsin v Notre Dame game last night. Holloway looked really good last night, it’s too bad Holloway will be gone for the Team Canada camp as Wisconsin plays Michigan next weekend. Would of been a fun game to tune into to.

Go Blue

 

[Breakers]

Mel Pearson looking like a genius, like I knew he would.
Better move for his development, and draft stock.

-His zone exits were pretty good for his first game, wasnt trying to stretch with long neutral zone passes.
-forced like 4-5 uncontrolled entries which is crazy for his first game having that gap control
-some nice neutral pass break ups

soft hands on the york goal, just very decisive

 

[TheBeastCoast]

One game.
