likely his last year in the org, unless there’s a Roch only / echl deal coming.

It’s really a shame it didn’t work out, because I loved this kid at the 18 dev camp.

Same. There was a role for him. I wish he could have stepped into it.

Too much development time missed trying to hero through bad shoulders.

Book those tee times

Amerks winger Matej Pekar provided some on-ice hilarity with 7:25, after drawing a penalty for the second time in the third period.

As a scrum was broken up and Pekar headed to the Amerks bench, Sokolov kept yapping. Pekar turned and, using his stick like a golf club, imitated a teeing off motion.

That’s perhaps why the third-year winger draws the ire of opponents.

“He’s an agitant,” Appert said. “He did a good job drawing penalties. He did a good job keeping his cool and goading them into punching him in the face. The power play was good early but it wasn’t good enough late when we got those opportunities.”

Conjuring images of Petey doing that years ago.

Injury and lack of development cycles can do a number on someone.

Great for him. I hope he can carve out a career in the AHL.

 

[DJN21]

If nothing else, he can stay in Cincy where he was good last year and play some pro games.
