Just had a sick no look pass

That was filthy! Such a smart player.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Much better 2nd period for Gabe.

Gabe going to the net making that happen but Smith gets the credit with another goal.
Perreault does get an assist

Michigan RIP on a 4 on 4

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Gabe with 2 assists now.

BC up 3-0! Looking good!

 

[17futurecap]

Gabe could have 4 apples

 

[ArPanet]

BC best guys have been their best guys Rangers fans can relate Lolol

These guys are fawning over Smith and Leonard and not a mention of Perreault even though 2nd goal doesn't happen without him.

The first goal doesnt happen either without his perfect arial pass. But they only care to pump up the flashy high draft picks.

Beautiful goal by Gabe!

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Gabe!!!!!

 

[17futurecap]

Perreault should be in the game one lineup next Saturday, runs away.

 

[ArPanet]

Worldie!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

When Smith and Perrault aren't butt no one is beating BC.

Fortescue has been so incredibly solid on defense all game. He plays such a flawless game and is physical. I wish they put the time on ice somewhere because it feels like he is out there every other shift and could easily have 25-27 minutes. Pretty unheard of for a rookie defenseman.

Gabe scoring on wraparounds? Somewhere Alex Frolov is smiling.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Btw congrats to Gabe for hitting 60 points tonight!!!! 60 points in 35 games.

Announcers were gushing when Leonard hit 60 points earlier in the night, but were silent when Gabe did it in 5 less games, go figure. He would be right there with Smith as the point leader in the NCAA if he didn’t get injured for those 5 games, shame.

More like 6 games, since he got kicked out early in one of them.

He's such a smooth skater and is more physical than what I was expecting. Just a smart player that is positionally sound, nothing flashy, but very efficient!

All three of them are different kinds of players but they're all great prospects. Gabriel is more of a catalyst type of player---like Fox or Panarin. His game is subtle and predicated on his hockey IQ. That said Smith seems to have a bit of catalyst in him too along with a ton of speed and Leonard bulls his way around the ice and is a great finisher.

I just came looking to see if anyone posted about Fortsecue. Loved what I saw from Gabe but did not expect to see this from Drew. For a true Freshman defenseman to be a top 4 defenseman on the #1 team in the country is very rare. I see a more physical Ryan McDonagh! Its still early and a lot can happen but looking like Drury killed it getting these two last year!!
