Good on Boko to finally win the championship. This was his 3rd time in the final and twice lost with the Drakkar

 

[Stormbreaker]

Erie also won tonight, they lead their series 3-2.

What's the realistic ceiling for Boko?

What's the realistic ceiling for Boko?

Physically he could be dominant. He has a decent shot ... I seen a lot of the highlights for the sea dogs and he isn't just collecting rebounds 'cause nobody can move him in front of the net. He is generally sniping. His speed and skating will keep him from being a top 9 forward.

Physical 4th liner with a scoring flair

A hat trick for Raddysh!! Otters tie the game 3-3 in the dying moments of the 3rd period.

 

[These Are The Days]

Who else but Cirelli to score the OT winning goal and Taylor Raddysh to drop a hat trick? What a great group of prospects we have. Erie is the OHL champion.

3 stars of the game didn't even include the guy who scored a hat trick in regulation OR the guy who scored the OT championship winning goal.

Warren Foegele got the MVP. He had a great playoffs, but Cirelli had more goals, more points, AND SCORED THE CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING GOAL IN OT.

He's got a better name and probably better flow. When I hear Warren Foegele I picture some sweet curly red lettuce flowing. Anthony Cirelli sounds like he's got a blowout which is never a good choice no matter how Italian your name sounds.

Warren Foegele reminds me of McLovin.

You probably realize this but for those who may not, the 3 stars, Foegel, D. Raddysh and Pettit are the three over-agers. Great way to cap off their last OHL game at home.

Warren Foegel is fun to watch. He is all over the ice, plays all out every shift, is great on the PK and his motor never stops. He would probably put up a lot more points if he were on the top PP line.

Oh ok, that makes sense. Guess that's also why Foegele got MVP even though he was outproduced by several players on his team?

foegele had the game 7 winner vs london in round 2. he had a shorthanded goal in round 3, game 4 midway through the 3rd that put erie up 4-3 and they won by that score. erie needed that game down 2-1 in series. foegele breakaway goal in game 2 vs missy with 2 mins left in the 3rd that put erie up 2-1. erie got EN goal but missy scored with 20 seconds left to make it 3-2 final. still foegele was essential winner

cirelli was great no doubt. but i would argue a "game 7" OT winner even strength goal is bigger. erie wasnt going to lose series tonight if they didnt win/cirelli didnt score as they were up 3-1. foegele arguably has 3 of the top 5 goals of the postseason run. and all were individual effort/speed/skill. cap it off with a guy that was out best PK guy, was able to and was moved at times to lines 1, 2, or 3. so versatile. ALL OVER THE ICE effort and tenacity. even when he wasnt scoring, he was getting 2-3 chances a night. creating his own chances out of nothing. i will also add this
not including pp numbers--
cirelli 22gp 8g 13a 21pts
foegele 22gp 12g 12a 24pts

you are right from above that cirelli benefits from 1st unit pp. if you watched all the games in playoffs you would have voted for foegele. i know erie fans would have been upset if it wasnt him.

[These Are The Days]

Simply an outstanding performance by our guys last night. I love it when prospects have championship pedigree. Years ago I didn't used to care it because often times you get these stacked junior squads that go on autopilot and roll through the playoffs. In essence it can make the junior experience essentially worthless for some players. But when your prospects are the guys who were driving the bus the entire time it's a great thing that they were exposed to as much pressure as their level of competition would allow and a hard series like the one Erie encountered with London is great practice for the real thing in the NHL. I'm excited to see what the transition to Syracuse is going to be like as time goes by.

 

[These Are The Days]

It's hard to pick one player but I have to say I've been the most impressed by Cirelli. His poise in important situations where the game is on the line is absolutely incredible. And it's not just some games its every game. 4 minutes to go, down a goal isn't an ideal situation for anyone. Hell I'd even argue it's dangerous. But Cirelli comes off the bench, channels his inner Walter White and says "No... I am the danger" and then a few minutes later he's going back to the bench with a tie game that he is somehow responsible for. Now keep in mind I am acutely aware that there is nothing special about an over-aged junior player thriving in pressure situations but what's special about Cirelli is the way he craves the pressure and performs better in those situations as a C+/B- prospect than the A prospects his own age. He has really come along and I think he's going to have a fantastic transition to Syracuse. If this kid can make it to the NHL level he's gonna be a playoff warrior.

Kid might be raw like a steak but it's a 3rd line New York Strip
