vadvlfan Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Anyone shed light on what went down in Bellville last night. Looked very chippy but 3/4 game misconducts. Couple bench clearing type stuff. I saw highlights but I saw head hunting, but don't know what lead up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBallofHate Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Mike Morreale @mikemorrealeNHL Joey Anderson (NJD) is fast and smart. Fun to watch. The line of he and Bellows/Mittelstadt has defense backing up ... rather quickly. ETA later tweet from MM: Joey Anderson with a goal. The kid is looking good @NJDevils' fans. 2 ETA: article from MM with some great info posted below - full article here (though this is the only part on Anderson below): https://www.nhl.com/news/5-things-usa-hockey-world-junior-camp-joseph-anderson-named-captain/c-294126240?tid=281266438 Right wing Joseph Anderson of the University of Minnesota Duluth was named captain of the United States National Junior Team on Sunday. Anderson, selected in the third round (No. 73) of the 2016 NHL Draft by the New Jersey Devils, is one of seven returning players at camp this week. Anderson had 37 points (12 goals, 25 assists) and a plus-11 rating in 39 games as a freshman at Minnesota Duluth and has nine points (four goals, five assists) and a plus-5 rating in 13 games this season. He played alongside Arizona Coyotes forward Clayton Keller and Colin White (Ottawa Senators) for the gold medal-winning U.S. at the 2017 WJC. "I said it last year, and I'll say it again ... I wish I could steal [Anderson]," said U.S. coach Bob Motzko, who coaches at St. Cloud State University. "He can kill penalties, play on the power play, and he plays so hard. You can put him in any situation and he'll accept anything you throw at him." The alternate captains will be determined at a later date.

LittleBallofHate Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 A few more good quotes from MM at nhl.com re: Anderson: It's the second time in his hockey career Anderson will be a captain and first since playing Pee-Wee hockey in his bantam year. He was an alternate captain for USA Hockey's National Team Development Program under-18 team in 2015-16. "My staple is going to be work ethic and how we play and go about our business in a very professional manner as a team on a mission," Anderson said. "I want to make sure everyone is comfortable in the locker room. We've got some guys at camp who might not have been members of the NTDP who feel as though they don't have that same connection as everyone else, but that's where I can help to make sure we're as tight a group as we can be, making sure there are no barriers between guys." Quote of the day "It was a pretty surreal moment when my brother was named captain on Sunday night. When coach Motzko announced that it was Joey I thought of everything we've been through our whole lives. To see the look on his face when he got named captain was priceless. He had that happy look, but there was a little shock, too. I was just like 'Wow.' It's something he's dreamed about for a while and having it happen in front of us was amazing." -- defenseman Michael Anderson (Los Angeles Kings) https://www.nhl.com/news/5-things-learned-on-day-4-of-us-world-junior-camp/c-294148574?tid=281266438 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBallofHate Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Good read on Jacob MacDonald https://theahl.com/macdonald-rising-through-ranks-of-pro-hockey Snippet: “Our scout, Nick Vitucci, has connections in the ECHL and Toledo,” acknowledged Binghamton Devils head coach Rick Kowalsky. “He saw MacDonald play a few times and knows the coach Dan Watson. We were looking for a defenseman (last year) to bring in, and not necessarily a power-play guy at the time. It was a matter of finding the best defenseman available when we needed it.” MacDonald was told he would eventually be receiving a call from the then Albany Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald, but he had a dentist appointment to take care of due to his bottom teeth being knocked out in a prior game. “I am in the chair, my teeth are all jacked up, and I see Tom Fitzgerald calling,” said MacDonald. “They had their hands in my mouth, and I couldn’t answer the call..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDonald is intriguing. If he keeps producing and playing like this in Binghamton, we may need to give him an NHL contract.
