I loathe Everett, so it's nice to see the Chiefs beat them their last 2 games by a combined score of 9-0. Good times.

D Brenden Kichton 7G 14A 21Pts in 19 games for Spokane. Yo Garth sign the kid.

Game 3 of the Subway Super Series tonight - Russia playing their 3rd game in 4 nights definitely favours a rested OHL squad.

Connor McDavid on 4th line?

good pressure by OHL in first period, anyway.

lol at this tweet from Bobby Mac:

TSNBobMcKenzie: My favorite all-time hockey name is working lines in tonight's OHL-RUS game: Dusty McCrank. Used to play Jr. A against @MikeMcKenzie11

Dusty McCrank is quite the moniker...

Connor McDavid on 4th line?

15 years old, I don't care how good he is, kid has to earn his stripes...

I don't disagree in principal. however:
he's got 21 points in 18 games on the worst team in the league.
- let's see what he could do with some linemates as we prepare/scout for WJHC.
- he has likely never played the checking role before, odd time to try that out.

Man, that was a Connor McDavid man lovefest during the 2nd intermission...

So, the guy playing between the pipes for Russia tonight: Igor Ustinski

/Flyers fans are getting their signs ready

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Some big boys on this OHL team. Hating their jerseys.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Made them look foolish on that one.

 

[dash]

Bang bang and it's 2-1 Russia...

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Oh boy.

 

[dash]

Captain Obvious says this OHL powerplay is huge...

 

[dash]

Cody Ceci almost killed a Russian with that slapper...

 

[dash]

Russia ends the OHL's streak of 18 straight wins in the Subway Super Series with a 2-1 victory tonight...

Strome was nowhere to be found. Team OHL should have kept Subban in goal the entire game.

Where was Mikhail Grigorenko?

 

[puckhead]

just catching up on game...

- my goodness Koekkoek was burned badly on that first goal.
should never, ever happen at this level. that was just a 2 on 2.
- big mistake by Binnington on the 2nd one. cheating for the pass maybe?
- Brett Ritchie reminds me a bit of Mike Richards at this age. kid plays hard.

can't wait to see Corrado in Monday's game

Only problem is he's been drafted by Dallas...

Russians that play in the CHL only play in this series against their own league, so Grigs only played the 2 games against the Q. They usually take 2 or 3 each year from each of the 3 leagues.

That's weak. I guess it's a good thing Yakupov is playing in the KHL.
