I think I read somewhere that Mattheos leads the WHL in PP goals.

Warren Foegele was named AHL Player of the Week. He had 4 goal, 2 of them shorties, in 2 games.

I don’t want to get fooled again after I bit hard on McGinn, but that kid looks like an NHL player to me.

Aho scored the winner for Brideport yesterday. Sebastian that is. Wait. The other one. A defenseman. Also from Sweden. R they related?? I remember when he was drafted it was brought up that there were two Aho's.

Our Aho is Finnish. The other Aho is from Sweden.

Right... made this mistake before. I should know better

Checkers split the weekend series, winning Saturday's game. Zykov, Samuelsson and Schilkey had the goals, Ned was in goal. Lucas Walmart had assists in all 3 goals and now leads the AHL in scoring with 8 points in 4 games.

They have a 3 game roadie next weekend, in Rochester on Friday and Toronto on Saturday and Sunday.

Because Costco > Walmart. Damn autocorrect.

So ... Lucas Costco, then?

Could stick.

Too bad we lost the FAQ. That could go with Cherkers and stagnuts.

Not to steal CM's thunder, but Stelio Mattheos is on fire for Brandon. He had 3 assists yesterday and has 19 points in 10 games.

For those on Twitter, @Canesprospects is a good follow.

Glad that Mattheos is lighting up the WHL. Always fun to see mid round picks at least generate some buzz in juniors after they are drafted. Sure is more fun then looking at Eetu Luostarinen's Liiga stats.

I believe he is playing on the Jokerit A junior team in Helsinki. That's him on the cover photo of the team's Twitter page...

That might explain why his stats are so hard to find.

He's played 15 games, has a 2.95 GAA and a .923 Sv%. Haven't been able to find his W-L record, but who cares?

Carrick was sent back to Charlotte, so TVR must be ready to come off IR.

Was reading on the Cherkers site that Gauthier was benched after 3 straight games to start the season without a point. This is also in part because of the glut of forwards they have down there, it made it easy to give the kid a night off and have a seat in the presser so he can re-group. It was noted still to be somewhat of a surprise as he is one of the more highly regarded prospects joigning the team this season.
