  • Re: ALL THINGS DENVER XLI--Will Boone go to St.Paul

    What do you think of the Florida Panthers sending down Henrik Borgstrom? -- @sun_puck

    I was initially surprised the Panthers sent Borgstrom to Springfield of the American Hockey League. Borgstrom appeared ready to take the No. 3 center job behind Aleksander Barkov and Vincent Trocheck, but Panthers coach Bob Boughner said Borgstrom admitted he was having a tough time at the end of the preseason schedule against bigger opponents
    From Dan Rosen at NHL.com

    I was surprised too, but hopefully it won't be for long.

          Here's one thing I think I know:

          In 2016-17 Championship season both Matt Marcinew and Evan Ritt were in the Top 10 in face off won by percentage. Matt was 3rd in the nation. And Evan's face off acumen, nationally #10, undoubtedly resulted in a big increase in his ice time.

          In 2017-2018 the face offs won suffered a big drop. Now Tyson McLellan's win Percentage was right at 60%, but due to injury he played in only 15 games. Jaakko Heikkinen had the next highest percentage which placed him at #52 nationally. The Big 3--Terry, Gambrell, and Borgstrom--all fell behind Heikkinen

          In the 2018-19 season winning face offs will give the Pios more puck possession and chances to score. And without points from the recently departed Big 3, Pios will need more scoring chances and then to take advantage of them. McLellan should be in the Top 10 nationally if he continues at last year's pace. If Heikkinen and/or someone else can build on that skill, it certainly would help this very young team.

          FWIW: Paul Stastny and Tyler Bozak, both with face off success in the NHL, spend time in the summer at DU. Hopefully they passed on some winning tips to the current team.

                DU 6 Alberta 4

                There are a lot of new faces/numbers on the ice. Some good plays, some sloppy play, too many penalties, lots of lines, some freshmen stood out--
                Pettersen, Guttman, Demin, Stapely--not a freshman Les Lancaster, 5 regulars sat the 3rd period, quoting Puck Swami,"surprisingly adequate goaltending", and yes David Carle still looks young.

                  Dylan Gambrell recalled by San Jose. That makes 8 Pios in the NHL

                          Nothing wrong with a quick 6-0 win.

                              Hat trick and a shutout all in one night.
                              Cooley Goalkeeper of the week and Emilio Pettersen Rookie of the week

                              Pios were better than i expected ,I realize this isn't Duluth or St Cloud talent/skill level, but a good start for the year, We do need to cut down the penalties and the D will have to tighten up as the competition gets tougher.
