I like hockey.
Wolves won their 3rd straight today. DDR had a shutout!
Look out, Malcolm!

He's coming along nicely. Just needs to get even quicker over the summer. Depending on what they decide to do with Brannstrom this season, Hague should make the opening night roster next year IMO.
As far as usage, eh, still being handled with kid gloves a bit. The Wolves tend to dress 7 D with Oligny taking the odd shift. You can never be too careful I guess. The Eagles started taking runs at Brannstrom early in the season.
I actually thought Hague would be more slow to make the roster. They already have four signed long term and Brannstrom definitely will make the team so that leaves one spot and they have Holden and Whitecloud more ready and even could bring back Engelland on a team friendly deal. Hague needs time with that tall frame and his skating.
Anybody smarter / has more time than me know who Vegas possibly had representing them in the WJC’s?
We know Glass is virtually a lock for Canada (and should be a top 6 center imo) , but anyone else?
Glass, Brannstrom, Elvenes and Rondbjerg are the locks.
Patera might be one of the Czech goalies and Morozov might make team Russia (both are in their respective camp)
Kruse keeps on cruising along with 6 goals 25 points in 19 games
Hague keeps scoring with his 8th tonight on the PP...and his 5th in the last 4 games! Kolesar scored his 5th (9 points his last 11 games)
Wolves lead 2-1 after 1
is it too early to start the Hag-Wagon??
Hmmmm reading the Urban Dictionary definition for Hag Wagon... I think we should chose a better name
Carr with another 2 point night so far.
As well as Pirri. Pirri has been on an absolute tear with 5 goals & 12 points his last 5 games. He leads the entire AHL in scoring.
I know it was for spot 4th line duty, but how the hell do you not reward a guy like that with a call up over freakin Carr and Duke?
It’s not like his NHL career prospects are over...dude is 27.
Because Pirri's game is suited for the AHL. He folds under the defensive pressure of the NHL everywhere he goes.I know it was for spot 4th line duty, but how the hell do you not reward a guy like that with a call up over freakin Carr and Duke?

E: this clip also includes the OT winner at the end(pre-tournament, so Russia & Sweden agreed to play OT & SO no matter what, but after getting 4-2'd in reg and losing OT, Russia had enough and left before SO), which was Elvenes had the initial shot, and Olofsson tapped in the rebound:
Brännström also got a secondary assist on Fagemo's goal(who GMGM should totally draft).
Considering Brännström can do it all, and did it all last year too(PK, PP, 5v5 against top lines) he should be the favorite considering he just keeps getting better. Only dman you can make a case for against him imo is Jokiharju, who had a hot spell with the Hawks.Brannstrom is legitimately the best defenseman in the tournament. He has some competition, but I think he takes the award for best defenseman.
And that Elvenes drive to create the goal in OT....beauty. Hoping for a point per game from him.
On an a-side - Glass is playing tonight at 5pm. Should be a stream somewhere.
Well, Glass is the best player on probably the best forward core in the tourney.
Future star with his vision and IQ.
