  • 2008-09 predictions and projections

    I’m not Karnac, but I thought it would be a good idea to lay out some projection targets for the group of prospects this season. (Or perhaps I’m just getting a little cocky after nailing the Adam and Fienhage picks this summer.) Whatever the case, let’s put our forecasting cap on and see what the…

  • 9/26 Recap: Schiestel gets a Gordie

    All junior prospects but one (Tyler Myers) were returned to their clubs this week, and the result is the first full slate of Friday action in the CHL.

  • Gogulla grounded out of gate

    Philip Gogulla and the Cologne Sharks kicked off their DEL regular season last week with a pair of losses. On Thursday, the 6’2 forward opened by going pointless with 12 PIM in a 2-1 loss to Berlin. Gogulla (-1) inflated his stat line by being whistled for abuse of officials and a ten minute misconduct…

    Some notes from Friday’s CHL pre-season action: Montreal’s T.J. Brennan (+2) and Gatineau’s Paul Byron (-1) each had power play goals as the Junior defeated les Olympiques, 6-4. Luke Adam assisted on Brennan’s tally in the first action of the pre-season for both players. Byron won 15 of 24 faceoffs on the evening for Gatineau.…

  • Sunday preseason wrap

    Some quick notes on a preseason Sunday in the CHL… Drew Schiestel suited up for a pair of assists in Niagara’s 6-3 win over Oshawa. Consistent with his camp thus far, the fourth-year defenseman was said to have played with a greater physical edge than in previous seasons. Hamburg native John Cullen stopped 15 of…
