Tonight's looked like a blowout, but Oilers goalie kept it close. I guess the only chance SC has is to beat the Pats in regulation and hope that AB goes 3-0; Even then, I'm not sure of the tie-breaker. SC has an OTL.

cross16 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I watched parts of the first game. I'm recording them all so hope to watch in more detail and get more insight as he goes on in the tourney. First glance, he is the project I was expecting. Top end speed is adequate, but his acceleration and short area skating are below avg. He is also pretty skinny and looks like he lacks bulk. Very good hockey IQ though, reads the play very well and gets to the open areas but you'd like him to be faster in just about everything he does. Can see why the took the shot on him, but he's a project for sure. Looking forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best case for them is a Hamilton win vs A-B. Then, if they beat the Pats they finish tied so have a 1 game sudden death. If Hamilton loses and SC wins, then it's a 3 way tie and gets complicated. Wipeout all games vs the #1 team, then it's GF/GA differential. Hamilton's would be 0 so they'd likely take a spot. SC's best scenario is a Hamilton win and then beat the Pats twice. At least that way they control their own destiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks really skinny to me, he needs muscle mass for sure which I think could help his overall skating. Nothing wrong with picking him up at all, but he's going to need a couple of seasons of work. Get him on the massive protein diet and gym-ratting I think would do him a lot of good. He has good hockey sense, but there's definitely an awkwardness there. I think it's just like waiting for a 17-18 yos body to mature. Not unlike Jankowski in that regard. Turn off the ambitions he'll be with the big club next year. He's a good player, but like most all of them you need time with pro-trainers, nutritionalists etc. Hopefully fans are mature enough to give him time, he's going to need it, without question. Well it's time to hopefully watch Thomas breakout and rip apart these Q losers. What I like most about Thomas is he no longer plays for the Knights.

cross16 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 With the loss last night, Gawdin and the Broncos are done. Gawdin didn't have the best Memorial Cup but was playing hurt. Still came to play last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zima Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I was watching the SC Coach discus the last mem game and it turns out GG was playing with a separated shoulder for the last while.Even though he had this injury he still played a hard hitting game and put up 2 goals against the Pats. We have to give it to him, another Monahan great work ethic and perseverance ( Thank god for spell check ) lol. To put up 2 goals in the reg game and have a separated shoulder shows a ton of grit in my book. Tells me he will be a great Flame in time I hope this injury doesn't harm his chances to show his abilities this Sept although I'm sure we won't see him in for the Kalowna games. I my self don't know how long an injury like that takes to get over but must be over a 3 month or more period ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTech780 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Gawdin had a strong game last night against Vancouver. He was effective on both sides of the puck. He wasn't really noticeable in the rookie games, so to see him step up last night was good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a passenger, but he needs to play with guys that can also drive the play. He should be a strong player in Stockton this year, so we'll see how he progesses with good coaching.
