Boucher with 2 goals again tnight! Jesus christ that kid is a natural scorer

[thefiestygoat]

Just watched the Miami-Wisconsin game. Fantastic game, Wisconsin extended their unbeaten streak to 11 games with a late goal in the 3rd for a 1-0 win. I was way too tired to take notes but I'll give a few quick thoughts. Regarding Faust, I have a hard time seeing him even being offered a contract after next season when he graduates. The only time he stood out at all during the game was in 3 defensive miscues that could've led Miami to scoring the first goal. He's a junior who still plays on the bottom pair and doesn't play special teams so the writing is on the wall.

Coleman was invisible for the most part except for a few good shifts in the 3rd. I noticed that on the line chart he seemed to be centering the 4th line instead of the 3rd line and it certainly seemed like he didn't get much ice time. Not sure the reasoning behind this since he seems to be having a fine season. I'll be keeping track of this to see if this is permanent or if they are shuffling the line up a bit. It wasn't his best game but he showed all the things we knew about him - tough, physical, goes to the front of the net, loves to shoot, not so great at faceoffs.

Pietila has been on fire since his strong showing at the world juniors. really nice to see. Boucher has also been incredible. It will be interesting how that goal scoring skill translates to the professional game.

Yeah, I had to verify that. Amazing. I know he's older than a lot of the competiton, but numbers like that have to translate into professional success.

Professional success yes, NHL success, not necessarily. Hopefully he can follow this year up with a 25 goal season in the AHL next year.

We all knew that Graham Black's season was impressive considering his medical history but it turns out he's still been battling Grave's disease this year.

http://www.leaderpos...7834/story.html

On Wednesday, he is to be admitted into the Pasqua Hospital, where surgery might be required to deal with Graves' Disease - an autoimmune disorder that leads to overactivity of the thyroid gland. The first (and hopefully only) step in Wednesday's treatment will involve the consumption of an iodine drink. Ideally, that will deal with the thyroid to the satisfaction of Black and the medical personnel.

"There's a chance that they could have to cut it out, but it's not very high,'' the personable Black said after Saturday's game. "I shouldn't even have to miss a game. Hopefully I can get my strength back to normal quickly.''

If everything proceeds according to plan, Black will be able to sleep better at night while requiring less medication. "I'll be able to focus better, I'll be able to put on weight, and I'll be healthier all around,'' he said.

Black is feeling considerably better than he did in September - a month in which he lost 30 pounds. "It was really bad,'' he said. "I'd go to sleep and wake up nine pounds lighter. "I'd be sweating and my body would get hot. All my calories were burning and my food was processing quickly.'' As a result, his weight diminished to 155 pounds. Since then, he has been gradually regaining weight and strength.

Is Gavrus even playing for Owen Sound? Seems pretty unbelievable that he has 0 points given how well he did last year.

according to eliteprospects.com, he had 10 points in 5 games at the WJC-U20 and had 12 points when he played overseas for 15 games

He is and judging from an Owen Sound forum I found it seems that he's been snakebitten offensively. Unfortunately, the OHL doesn't provide any TOI or shots data so its hard to tell how much he has been involved. Hopefully he turns it on soon.
