Re: RPI 2010 Recruit Thread: Give Me Laliberté or Give Me Death!

Early assesssment-we seem to have 2 solid young defensemen coming and 2 extremely offensively talented forwards. This should be a very good class of recruits for us. Perhaps not the instant offense added this present year, but still a very solid high quality class.

Re: RPI 2010 Recruit Thread: Give Me Laliberté or Give Me Death!

It will be good to see some defensemen coming in, seeing as how we're graduating 3 of them this year, including an alternate captain, a draft pick, and one of our two "enforcers". Also our utility player.

Neither Quinn nor Bailen appears to be a direct replacement for any of our graduating defensemen because both are smaller than each of the three, especially Bailen.

Guess that means we should look for a last-minute enforcer. Burgdoerfer replaced Farynuk well, now we need to keep the tradition.

Ironically, the player whom he is tied with for 6th in scoring is Stephen Blunden who allegedly injured JL's brother Yanik.

Was reading through HF Boards and someone posted the hit from Blunden on Yanik on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzSq9_Lqaws&feature=player_embedded
The hit happens right around 57 seconds in the lower right corner of the screen.

Re: RPI 2010 Recruit Thread: Give Me Laliberté or Give Me Death!

The youtube title Hit from behind says it all. Take your pick hitting from behind, boarding, roughing, almost a charge. Any way you look it is a five minute major and game misconduct. Are there ten minute majors? Hope the kid is ok.

:D I won't argue with that.

You might then also want to change "Bailen" to "Quinn". Although Bailen probably will start off better than Quinn due to his experience, Quinn seems to have the better upside.

By my quick count, Cornwall has scored 69 goals in the games JL has played in. (I.e., discounting the 7 he missed while at the WJAC.). He has 43 points. That means that he has been involved in 62% of Cornwall's goals. It sounds like you are correct. :)

I really like what I hear about this kid. It looks as if he can do a lot with out a great supporting cast of characters or he can fit in with top notch players and still keep scoring. I am sure there are weak spots to his game-not sure what sort of defense he can play-but if he can continue to put up numbers like he has, he will be a very welcome addition in Troy next year.

I'm more than happy to have a couple forwards whose defensive prowess is not that great - as long as they have the offense to make up for it. If our opponents are playing their lock down defensive guys to keep JL off the scoresheet, there's no need to worry as much about his defensive skills. Make one of his wings more responsible defensively, or put him out with one of your better defensive pairs and let them worry about the occasional breakdown. The goals scored will more than outweigh the goals allowed, I'm willing to bet.

The Vees, No. 3 in the Canadian junior A rankings, have been playing without Brock Higgs for the past eight games.

Higgs injured his ankle while playing for Canada East at the World Junior A Challenge in Prince Edward Island.

He missed five Vees games during that week-long competition and three more because of the ankle sprain.

Higgs practised yesterday and will be back Thursday when the Vees host the Huntsville Otters.

He can compare notes with Tyler Helfrich next year. :)
