Yeah ... and will get 33% of their defense group back. Amazing to play that well with 2 key D suspended and one sitting in the press box with the big club.

Sorry, I just know everyone was waiting to hear the fate of our 6th and 7th round draft picks that were still playing or waiting to play playoff games:

Canes draft picks and prospect stats through 4/26/2019.
================================================== ========

Jesper Sellgren LHD (6th round 2018 SweHL Lulea) Playoffs 10 Games 3 Goals 3 Assists *** Lulea was eliminated by Frölunda in 5 games in their SemiFinal Matchup a couple of weeks ago.

Ville Rasanen LHD (7th round 2017 USHL Lincoln/Chicago): Playoffs 2 Games No points. *** Chicago eliminated Cedar Rapids in 4 games (best of 5) in the their conference Semi-Finals match-up. They will play Muskegon in the USHL Eastern Conference Finals. Rasanen played the last 2 of the 4 games (not sure if he was hurt, or what the story was).

Charlotte beats Hershey 4-1. Good start to the weekend.
 
Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread

The Everblades won as well... the Canes are rolling at all three levels of pro hockey this postseason.
 
Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread

Well, with no big club action, might as well listen in on the Cherkers...

Whaddayaknow, 1-0 Charlotte after 5 minutes... :thumbup1:

Derek Sheppard fights and gets 5 plus a misconduct.

Then my radio feed cuts out... and the Bears score somewhere in there before I get it back.

Power play goal by Necas, 2-1.

Bishop could be injured... not good with the shortage of forwards. (3rd period note: He's not returning)

Geekie scores, 3-1.

Poke check by Ned, but the Bears score anyway, 3-2.

Jurco scores, third point of the night. 4-2

Gauthier makes it a score dwind would be proud of. :thumbsup(22):

Hmmm.... AHL website says 5-2 but only lists four goals.
 
Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread

Aha.. now showing Gauthier with the fifth.
 
Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread

I always thought the dwind score was 5-3.
 
Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread

I always thought the dwind score was 5-3.

I think you're right...

Jurco scores again, and this one's pretty much in the bag.

Although the Bears do show some life with another goal...

Leach goes after Mattheos, but Carrick sets him straight.

Necas scores again, Jurco with a 5 point night now.... 7-3.

That's all, folks... 2-0 series lead. Next three (if necessary) are all in Hershey.

Eetu Luostarinen will be playing for Finland in the World Championships.
 
Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread

Cherkers signed dman Jesper Sellgren (2018 draft, round 6) to a PTO. He still has 1 year on his contract with Lulea in the Swedish league, so no NHL contract yet. He had 3 goals, 12 assists in 52 games in his first year in the senior league.
 
Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread

Sellgren is good insurance for callups or injuries. Always good to get these Euro players over for a taste of North American hockey whenever opportunity allows.
 
Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread

Dennis Robertson is suspended for tonight’s Cherkers game, so Jesper Sellgren will make his debut.

Cherkers win 3-1 to take a 3-0 series lead. Saarela x 2 (1 empty net) and Mattheos (game winner) with the goals. Ned with 17 saves.
 
Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread

Pretty impressive to allow only 17 shots against with that patched up D Corps.
 
Re: 2018-19 Canes Prospect and Cherkers Thread

The Florida Everblades are in the the Kelly Cup semifinals (first game is May 10th against the Newfoundland Growlers) The Canes really don't have prospects on their main roster except for our goalies, Callum Booth and Jeremy Helvig.

Booth's performance in the first 2 rounds of the Kelly Cup?

6-1 1.14 GAA .960 Sv%

Helvig has been less impressive:

2-2 2.47 GAA .873 Sv%

Helvig was the man for Florida most of the year. Booth only played 4 regular season games for the Everblades (with not so great numbers). Anyhow, winning at any level is a good thing for prospects.
