Minnesota Wild 1st rounder Charlie Stramel is transferring from Wisconsin to Michigan State.



Former US NTDP head coach Adam Nightingale is the obvious connection here, but Stramel and Isaac Howard go way back.

Are we all in on signing Duke once Michigan is done? Probably a good idea to sign Eamon Powell after BC is done and get him in there for his hometown Crunch in the Calder Cup Playoffs.

Denver vs BC. McKade Webster vs Eamon Powell.

Whoever wins, the national championship trophy will be hoisted by one of these Lightning prospects first. Very cool having team captains for both these schools.

Orlando had to win in regulation in their final regular season game in order to ensure the final playoff spot in the division. The game is 0-0 in the final minute of the game. The other game in the ECHL that matters is currently unfavorable. Orlando is on the PP, and the goalie is pulled.

I haven't been looking to purposely make Sabres and Solar Bears connections, but the more I learn about the Don Granato Sabres, it's like they're describing the Solar Bears of the past few years (although not this season, fortunately).

A young team that seems like they want to turn that final corner, but never does. Struggling in actually important games. Constant slow starts, etc.


I get that focusing on rings in the room sounds like tough guy stuff, but consistent postseason success doesn't happen because 'anything can happen in the playoffs'. It's not random. It's not random. Having (likely several) successful seasons is a sign of good season planning.

We'll see who Kevyn Adams hires, but his press conference yesterday seemed like it could be promising.

2 goals + 2 assists for Gauthier



Gauthier leads all players with 15 points in the QMJHL playoffs. He is second in goals with 8 in 7 games


Goal for Szturc but Kelowna goes down 3-0 in the series. Tonight is a must win to stay alive

Acadie-Bathurst lose to Baie-Comeau in the 2nd round in a 4 game sweep. That’ll do it for Milo Roelens.

Roelens finishes the playoffs with 5 goals, 10 points in 8 games



Szturc scores in back to back games for Kelowna as they extend the series and force a Game 5

Game 2 between Orlando and Greenville. Orlando leads the series 1-0.

edit: hang on. Flo took the link down.

edit2: FloHockey posted, and then took down, a link to watch today's game for free. They normally will have a game or two a week for free during the regular season. I guess they remembered it was playoffs and turned the stream off.
