J-Swift 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 I'm glad to see McGrath getting his season off to a fine start. We're a little weak when it comes to North American prospects. As for Kindl, I guess one assist ain't bad. I hope he gets on track this season, and manages to improve on his 14 point total from last year. Call me old fashioned, but I like my offensive defencemen to actually put something up in the way of offence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ToddDaGod 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 That's awsome about McGrath. Kindl on the other hand, not so much. Maybe Kindl would do better if we picked him in the 3rd round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 Sounds good. The Wings strategy of taking someone who didn't have a great year but has showed in previous years that he can be great once again seems to be paying off. Works well since we never get a high pick anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 Kindl will have a fine season. He's on pace for 40+ points, which is a solid year. This guy was playing in the top Czech men's league at 15 and not looking out of place. That's the equivalent of a 15 year old playing in the AHL (about level with the Czech league)...that has to say something about his skill level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the equivalent of a 15 year old playing in the AHL (about level with the Czech league)...that has to say something about his skill level. Exactly, and he was playing in the OHL at the age of 17, so surely scouts couldn’t have expected him to excel last season. He was +1 today, and had 6 PIM's. How much weaker is the OHL to the AHL, i.e. how reflective is this form? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

larionov_8 12 Report post Posted October 2, 2005 Got to see the Rangers play last night. I was keeping my eyes on Kindl and McGrath just out of curiousity. McGrath looked pretty good out there. He didn't score but I think he got an assist on the powerplay. He's patient with the puck and he has incredible bursts of speed. I was impressed most by how hard - and fast - he skated to get back and take away odd man rushes. Kindl was okay. I'm not trying to be negative and I probably only noticed his mistakes because I was watching him as much as I could. He played a lot of minutes out there including most PP's and PK's. He has good lateral movement out there, seems like he has good skills. I did notice make one ugly pass up the middle in his own end. And he screwed up at the offensive blueline at one point too and the other team scored directly as a result. I felt like making the dreaded 'Fischer' comparison but reminded myself that this was just ONE game and that any comparison would be completely unfounded. Anyways, I hope that these guys will be in red sometime in the future..... PS. i noticed Mcgrath wears #19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snapshots 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2005 McGrath turned 19 in January. Here's hoping that he makes the WJC squad. Here are some possibilities Canada: McGrath ... good chance at playing for the deepest junior team in the world Czech: Kindl ... probably a lock USA: Abdeldader ... Will probably have to wait until next year Haskins ... good chance Sweden: Ryno ... playing well .. good chance to make it ... scored game winner the other night in Sweden's second division Ritola ... no stranger to international duty ... good chance to make it .. not producing in SEL so far. Axelsson ... probably the best chance at making it Lofberg ... decent shot ... not producing in SEL so far Finland Mielonen ... might make it ... he's played a lot of international u18 hockey. u20 is the next logical step.

J-Swift 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 I believe Evan McGrath added another 2 goals and 2 assists tonight in a 5-2 win over the Erie Otters. Looks like he's not slowing down. He was the second star of the game; I gather Kitchener's goalie played awesome and took home first star honours. Meanwhile, Kindl was a -1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
