VGK hosting 6-team rookie tournament

[HanSolo]

Well I'm giving up on waiting for this stream to work.

Stream back up

GK on the penalty kill with two minutes to go.

Knights escape with a win. Not sure what happened to the defense but they win so whatever.

Did Brannstrom get any points today? What about Hague?

I think Brannstrom was 1g 1a and I know Hague got two goals don't know about assists

They called the first three goals as unassisted at the arena but one of them at least was clearly a nice pass from someone cross ice. I didn't catch who.

Might have been Quinney to Duke. No way that was unassisted.

some thoughts based on the 10 minutes or so I saw:
-Brannstrom looked great, but still not used to the smaller ice surface yet
-Suzuki seemed to struggle a bit on his off wing
-Bouchard looked good for an 18yo 6th rounder. He jumped straight off the bench to the high slot for his goal. Intriguing 6'4 frame too.
-Elvenes made some poor decisions with the puck. He was about to put it in his own net before an Avalanche poked it away from him.
-Glass continues to work hard
-it's hard not to get excited about Hague! What a difference an offseason makes.
-Whitecloud looks good and reliable like an NHL d should.
-Duke seems really mature and confident this year
-Kolesar has a lot to work on but the tools are there. I'd like to see a little more jump and tenacity from a kid his size.

None of the kids really stood out to me in a bad way (apart from Elvenes) which is what you want from a team of prospects.

Sounds like both guys had big games!

Duke seemed to have a temper on him yesterday. Almost got into two fights behind the play and was not afraid to get involved in some extracurriculars.

We had a few poor penalties taken as a team too. And that third period wasn't good. Room for improvement.

• Schael Higson and Ryan Chyzowski will be in the lineup. Connor Corcoran and Brett Kemp are scratched.

Rookie Faceoff Gameday: September 9, 2018

Higson (from Brandon, where else?) is the 6th invite

 

[LadyStanley]

Lol

 

[Filthy Dangles]

psst you know how to get the .m3u8 stream link off the site?
People can watch it in their media player that way.

If someone could PM me this once the stream vs SJS goes up I would appreciate it....I have the m3u8 of the COL vs ANA game which is in 1st intermission if anyone wants it.

Suzuki will center Duke and Elvenes tonight.
Quinney with Glass and Kolesar

I really wish Suzuki would just make the transition to wing.

 

[HanSolo]

Oooh slick 1-2 play with Wong and Leschysn I can't spell his name. Wong almost scored but nice save by the SJS goalie.

 

[HanSolo]

One thing I'm noticing about Glass is he likes to wait and rove near the blueline if his teammates are chasing in deep in the offensive zone but I'd like to see him hover more towards the middle. He's not giving much support being that far back.

Excellent pass from Suzuki to Elvenes but saved again. Vegas has three cross crease passes from the left wing to the right wing. Feels like they're trying to take a book from what Washington did to them in the Finals.

 

[CupInSIX]

That Merkley kid is slick

 

[HanSolo]

Yeesh. Higson with almost no pressure on him tries to bank the puck off the boards to himself, banks it right to a Sharks forechecker.

Hague absolutely erased Sharks possession behind the Vegas net

Now Brannstrom with a huge hit on a guy easily bigger than him.

 

[HanSolo]

Damn, Kooy must have stopped 5 shots on that sequence.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

anyone got the lines pairings anywhere?

 

[HanSolo]

anyone got the lines pairings anywhere?

Quinney-Glass-Kolesar
Duke-Suzuki-Elvenes

Whitecloud-Brannstrom
Hague-Coghlan

don't know lines 3-4 and the bottom pairing.

 

[HanSolo]

Holy shit. Sharks score an absolute beauty. Hague was kind of sleeping on that one it seemed like.
