Yeah Andre is a freakin beast and I idolize him because I’m a lacrosse goalie.
Things from this game.
Our power play isn’t great
We need to a top 6 forward most likely a wing
Dump in chase is inconsistent
Pk was good
We need to be smarter with the puck
Get the stick in the lane of the puck in a net front presence

Looks like Chicago gonna get its first win with the Kane hat trick on the Sens

If they somehow lose this they should burn it all down and sell everything

With Brad Lambert being left off Finland's U20 roster for the upcoming 4 nations tournament next week and his surprising slow start to the year, anyone think he may drop like Aatu Raty, maybe not as far as the 2nd round but not a consensus top 3 pick?

Apparently hes trying to come to NA and play in I believe the WHL. Makes sense as Liiga seems to not be a good fit for him. Cause as we saw with Raty once he plays with peers his own age he should thrive

Ironically Raty went back to Liiga and struggled to the point where he and some other guy were traded for Rindell (Leafs prospect lul)

So now I get to watch Rindell and Niemela play together, Should be fun

I’ve seen that JyP HT Jyvaskyla has been trying to utilize him as a C which has not worked out

Maybe thats why he got traded. Honestly not a smart Idea for him to go back to Liiga as its not easy for prospects to thrive there. And the ones who do are the ones to watch for. Back to Lambert he should have went to the WHL and once he turned 20 Lou could assign him to the Tigers.

No way this team should be a last place team with that level of firepower.

Rindell will need to pick it up, his rights expire this year should the Leafs want to sign him

He should as Karpat has a very good defensive system and their coach knows how to handle prospects. Not all survive the system (Raty) but the majority often thrive. Just look at Niemela, quiet last year but the coach saw potential in him, worked on him, and now hes on pace to tie Heiskenen's Points Per game numbers from when he was in Liiga. Wont score as many goals but still pretty impressive.

It’s nice Niemela is finally getting PP time. He’s going to be a very important prospect for the Leafs

does this mean the caps are exceeding expectations


What it does mean is that the leafs are a weak team that can't create good scoring chances.

TIL i share an exact birthday with Connor Bedard (July 17th, 2005). It feels so weird to see people around my age being drafted into both hockey and baseball. Makes me feel like i should be doing better with my life.


Quoting: A_Habs_fan
Wow, my NHLer with the same B-day is Filip Zadina so not bad and in 2023 i could technically get drafted so yeah, it's weird seeing guys your age being drafted


Quoting: mondo
I would've been in the 2012 draft. Could've lied and said I could skate and probably would've gone in the 7th round or something.

I’m getting drafted in 2025. But I don’t play so😔

I would’ve been drafted in 2021 if I were significantly better at hockey 😤


I'm draft elidgable in 2023. I'm thinking I'll go first overall (sorry bobcat and habsfan, you guys will go second and 3rd).

There not scoring up to what they should be. Which is correct as they should be averaging 4-5 a game not 1 or 2.
