I forget, is Reinhart's (relative) weakness supposed to be his skating? Because I'm watching Kootenay-Brandon right now and his skating looks yet again unexceptional.

Kingston - Niagara has been a real pleasure to watch, especially for names (they are tied at 4 and going to OT now if you want to join). One of my favourite parts was where Niagara is running out Aaron Hayden, Hayden McCool, and Aleksandar Mikulovich at the same time.

A Typical Goon posted:Josh Morrissey passed Prince Albert's record for goals by a defencemen with his 23rd. 63 points in 51 games this year. Everyone always hates the Jets picks but they all seem to turn out pretty good. I've watched a handful of Prince Albert games (and am watching this one right now) and I think he has been the best player on the ice every time. He covers the whole rink, and so much play runs through him.

Sam Bennett fought Scott Laughton, it was pretty awesome. He's looked pretty good this game generally for how much he's gone up against Laughton.

whatis posted:Bennett and Reinhart have both looked great all year, but they've really blown up since the WJCs finished. They're both separating themselves from the rest of the pack in a good way; I'd be very surprised to see anyone other than Ekblad/Reinhart/Bennett go in the top 3 this upcoming draft It really does seem that way, with Ekblad apparently solidifying himself as the #1. Another thing to look out for between Bennett and Reinhart is that Bennett is younger by seven and a half months, so all else being equal that's a pretty big point in Bennett's favour.

Prince Albert certainly ran things in that third period. Leon Draisaitl seems to be very good in proximity to the puck so long as he doesn't have to actually skate with it.

Kingston scored with 47 seconds left in regulation to tie, then half way through overtime on an extended powerplay. 1G 2A for Bennett who is really impossibly good, and the Fronts lead the series 2-0.

Soal_Fish posted:So for the draft, is it generally considered Ekblad/Reinhart then everyone else? From what I gather it's Ekblad as a clear first at this point, followed by Bennett/Reinhart as more or less equal (team Bennett woo). Somewhere in here, depending on how you feel like weighting the back half of the season, you have the Danish Nikolaj Ehlers who has had an absolutely bonkers second half of the season anywhere from near-even with Ekblad to a bit behind Bennett/Reinhart. Then you get to Draisaitl/Dal Colle/Nylander where there's a lot more variation. A Typical Goon posted:Pretty good game for Rienhart apparently. A goal and 4 assists.

Actually, that's a lie, he's up there because he's gigantic and size is still A Thing Yeah I've watched him like a dozen times by now and he doesn't seem to skate very well but on the other hand he seems to be pretty good once he's actually around the puck. But it's easy to focus on skating because that's the thing that's most apparent to my untrained, only-usually-sober eye.

Apparently Connor Brown was doing work defensively that series.

I started watching Medicine Hat - Kootenay with 10 minutes left and the Tigers up 4-2. There are now 2 minutes left and the Ice are up 5-4. Reinhart has 3 points, although they're all 2nd assists. e: 2 empty net goals for Kootney are going to make the box score look real fun.

Of course, the Lightning could always go with Latvian supergoalie Kristers Gudlevskis.

THE U18 WJCs start today!

With an OT win today, Halifax has taken a 3-2 series lead against Val D'Or. The Mooseheads have actually run over the Foreurs in all five games, but there's been a large gulf in goaltending with Fucale being mediocre to bad while Bibeau has played out of his mind.

fits posted:Both the Q conference finals (Halifax vs Val-D'or and Blae-Comeau vs Blainville) are tied at 3-3 with both Game 7s tonight The Foreurs won despite being outshot 41-16 by the Mooseheads. Antoine Bibeau (2013, 6th-round Leafs pick) is having a great playoffs and is generally looking pretty good for a goalie prospect. They will face the Drakkar in the final, who are getting by on .930 goaltending themselves.

In the other series, Baie-Comeau won in overtime 4-3, to tie the series at two. They managed 50 shots on net, because Val D'Or is actually just Mantha and Bibeau. I suspect that whichever team limps out of this series is going to get murdered in the Memorial Cup.

Antoine Bibeau stopped 43 of 46 shots and Val D'Or forced game 7 in the Q finals with a 6-3 win over Baie-Comeau. Give how much the Foreurs seem to rely on Mantha and Bibeau, it's kind of incredible that they're making it to game 7. Merited or not, if they make the Memorial Cup I expect the Leafs prospect hype over Bibeau to go nuclear.

Also Antoine Bibeau, who stopped 40 of 43 in that game and posted a .920 for the playoffs, was named the Q playoffs MVP. They play London on Friday and I expect them to get killed.
