    Yes, that’s a Blue Oyster Cult reference. 2005 second round pick Philip Gogulla scored a pair of third period goals to force overtime, but Cologne couldn’t seal the comeback in their 4-3 loss to Hamburg. The goals were Gogulla’s first of the season, as the Dusseldorf native now has five points through seven DEL games.…

    Take a run at a Kelowna Rocket this season, and you just might have to deal with an upset 6’8 defenseman. That’s what happened to Lethbridge’s Craig Orfino, as the 6’2, 200-pounder was forced to take on Tyler Myers after earning a boarding penalty in the first period of tonight’s game. Myers was a unsatisfying…

    2008 first-rounders Tyler Myers of Kelowna and Tyler Ennis of Medicine Hat faced one another Friday in a SabresProspects spotlight game, a 4-1 Tigers win. The pair did not factor into any of the scoring plays, but Myers put forth another great effort for the Rockets to earn the game’s #3 star in defeat. With…

    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…

    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. Coming off their high paced pro experiences, it was a very productive evening statistically for those in uniform. QMJHL action saw all of the Sabres prospects hit…

    As expected, the Sabres today announced the return of eight players to their CHL clubs. Kelowna Rockets defenseman Tyler Myers will however remain with the Sabres as they ready themselves for a pre-season match-up this evening with the Montreal Canadiens. Look for the 6’8 defenseman to get into the lineup, as this should be viewed…

  • 9/12 Recap: Lagacé points as Sags sag

    RW Jacob Lagacé scored a breakaway goal and added an assist as Chicoutimi dropped their season opener to Drummondville, 6-3. The Sags were short on firepower in this one, playing without a few NHL camp participants including Nicolas Deschamps (ANA), Joel Champagne (TOR), and Charles-Antoine Messier (VAN). Regardless of the loss, it’s encouraging to see…

    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.…

    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…
