Memorial Cup

...for Craig Button, this tournament, it's Easton Cowan and everyone else.


Gotta cheer up those Leaf fans.

what an awful tripping call on Desnoyers, which gifts London a PP which gives them the lead 2-1.

I wonder how bad Montreal would want Desnoyers; could we see something like Kirby Dach and the 16th to Philly for the 6th.

Just spitballing (again)

For months I've been trying to articulate what worries me about Pekarcik and it's his very high center of gravity. You hit him and he goes flying. He tried to get position on the crease and he was just shoved out to the high slot with one big push and was helpless to stop it.

He has a lot going for him but he does seem to get knocked off the puck somewhat easily. Maybe he just needs to work on his core and lower body strength? It’s hard to tell sometimes just how skinny some of these kids are underneath their pads. He also has somewhat of an unorthodox hunched over skating stride too. I can almost always tell which player is him just by his body mechanics without looking at the numbers.

That's funny, I wondered if former awful Blues prospect Landon Sim would try to cheap the Blues prospect Pakarcik and he sure did, went knee on knee on his own delayed bonehead penalty.

Desnoyers is going 4th and maybe even 3d

Good double call there; Cowan definitely held his stick.

for sure, grabbed it and dove

Sam Dickinson reminds me of Ottawa's Jake Sanderson; the way he flies around.

This aspect is why I am higher on Stancl. Taller but lower center of gravity, also high offensive IQ. Stancl has the better shot I think too.

Cowan with a Marner move to SOR. Game Over! 3-2 London.


I have to give Button credit; Cowan was a man among boys in this game.

That was a game with a lot of future NHL talent in it

I think the Hawks are gonna take Desnoyers at #3

That was a fantastic games last night. Really looking forward to the Medicine Hat and London game on Tuesday night

Absolutely, same. What a game. That was such a pro-style CHL game. Probably should be the Final but Medicine Hat is very good.

Dickinson vs. McKenna on Tuesday. They could be teammates in a year+ if the Sharks get the #1 overall pick next year.

I also wonder which player @Balotelli thinks the Hawks are going to take, I want them to take Hagens but they will probably take Desnoyers which is bad for us. I would rather the Hawks took Frondell I think. The fact that Chi 3 Utah 4 is very bad that this player will be in our division because I want the Blues to acquire him someday.

Why are they saying San Jose would pass on Misa?
