Our Prospects In The Playoffs

[gbdet 0]

The OHL guys are as follows:

Jakub Kindl(D)--- Kitchener Rangers... They played the Sarnia Sting in the first round and swept the series.

Stats... 1goal-- 1 assist- +4-- and 4 PIM in 4 games played.

They now move on the face Plymouth in the second round the first game being tonight in Plymouth.

Cory Emmerton©---Kingston Frontenacs... They faced off against Oshawa, John Tavares' team in the first round.

They lost the series 4-1 but the real heartbreaker was game 2 when they were ahead 6-2 and went on to lose in OT 7-6.

Stats... 5 goals-- 2 assists-- -6 and 2PIM in 5 games played.

They are now eliminated from the playoffs, as Emmerton has signed a 3 year deal with the Red Wings and may or may not be playing with Grand Rapids for their post season run.

On a side note... John Tavares scored 3 goals added 9 assists and was a +- of 0 in 5 games.

Jan Mursak(LW)--- Saginaw Spirit... They played Sault Ste. Marie in the first round and lost that series 4-2.

Stats... 1 goal-- 2 assists-- 0+- and 10PIM in 6 games played.

Eliminated from playoffs

Last would be Shawn Matthias©, I know he is no longer a prospect of ours, but I figured I would add him in anyway.

Belleville Bulls beat Ottawa 67's in the first round 4-1

Stats... 5goals-- 3assists-- +2 and 4 PIM in 5 games played.

Pretty impressive I will continue to keep an eye on him in these playoffs. They now move on the play Oshawa in round 2.

Next is the WHL

Darren Helm(LW)--- Medicine Hat Tigers... They played the Red Deer Rebels in round 1 of the playoffs and won the series in the 7th game.

Darren Helm scored the GWG in game 7 (2-0)

Stats... 4goals-- 3 assists-- 0+- and 4 PIM in 7 games.

They now move on to play Logan Pyett's team (Regina) in round 2.

Logan Pyett(D)--- Regina Pats... They played Swift Current in round 1 and took the series 4-2.

Stats... 3goals-- 3 assists-- +3 and 2PIM in 6 games.

Very good stats for a defenceman. They now play Darren Helm's Medicine Hat Tigers in round 2.

Jeff May(D)--- Prince Albert Raiders... They were eliminated by the Brandon Wheat Kings 4-1.

Stats... 0 goals... 3 assists... -3 and 2PIM in 5 games played

Eliminated from playoffs

Bretton Stamler(D)... Seattle Thunderbirds... They beat the Tri-City Americans in the first round 4-2

Stats... 0goals... 0 assists... +2 and 10PIM in 6 games played.

They now play the Vancouver Giants in round 2.

NCAA: I cannot find stats anywhere, so if someone can help out there...

Justin Abdelkader... I know that he assisted on the tying goal in the semi-finals... they play Boston College in the Championship game of the Frozen Four.

Kindl had 3 assists but was -2 in Kitchener's 6-5 OT loss to Plymouth. That's 5 points in 5 games.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Helm had 2 goals and an assist in Medicine hats win yesterday.

He now has 5 goals and 7 assists in the playoffs (That may be off by a few , but not by much)

Very good post, we need to hear what is going on with the youngsters. I believe down the road the Wings are going to regret trading Shawn Matthias, especially if they do not sign Bert. They will wish they put someone else in that trade. He has the makings of being a solid 2nd line player and if he continues to improve, maybe a first liner.

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Kitchener lost yet again in OT and are now down 3-0. Kindl had an assist which makes 7 points in as many games, however he is now -1.

Kitchener lost yet again in OT and are now down 3-0. Kindl had an assist which makes 7 points in as many games, however he is now -1.

And he looked very unimpressive out there in his last performance. I was excited to watch him but he made several costly errors and just really didn't have a single impact on the game whatsoever. Except for the puck that hit him in the face in the face and then was tipped in by I beleive Sesito.

I dunno, he may be good in the distant future... but right now the wings have no need for him on the blue line for some years.

Tonight looks to be his final game in this playoffs so his stats will all hinge on tonights desperation performance.

For all the Latendresse fans:

Forward Justin Abdelkader scored the championship-winning goal in the NCAA, and was named most outstanding player.

[OsGOD 3]

Kindl had 3 assists (EVEN) in tonights 4-2 victory over the plymouth whalers.... So there will be a Game 5 back in Plymouth on Friday the 13th.

I am going to try to drag offsides along to the game and I will bring my camera so that I can take pictures of him.

Excellent, I look forward to seeing them. Be sure to give us a report on how he does.

As you said 3 assists tonight which makes 10 points in 8 games.

I think if the Rangers get eliminated that he is off to GR again?

I see Emmerton is there already, not sure if Mursak is thou.
