From Habs Inside/Out:

Courtesy of Cory Kornelsen, editor of McKeen's Hockey, a scouting report on Ryan McDonagh:

Robust two-way defenseman .. commanding all-access skater that is strong on his edges with sharp acceleration .. has become more productive this season because he's anticipating the play incisively and is asserting himself more offensively with the puck .. has underrated hand skill and a quick shot that he is beginning to get on net with more frequency, as he's already surpassed his career high with four goals on the year .. his on-ice vision and creativity with the puck are mediocre, although he makes calculated decisions and doesn't rush into many mistakes .. suffocating one-on-one defender that is a pillar of strength on the backend and is one of the most physically imposing defenders in college hockey .. lacks prototypical height but it doesn't matter because he boasts tremendous strength and has a mean streak .. his influential backwards and lateral mobility allows him to maintain tight gaps before angling off his man to the wall .. fiercely covers his net and clears his crease area with conviction .. a safe bet to play in the NHL sooner rather than later.

Matt D'Agostini now has 11 goals in 15 games in the Hammer...

 

[Habsy]

And we can't score to save our lives. Go figure.

 

[hairnova]

Someone that will shoot the ****ing puck, get him in a Habs uniform.

 

[Isaac25]

seriously, call him up and put some pressure on the the top 9 guys...

 

[Habsy]

Waive Someone already.

 

[Isaac25]

Begin or Dandy? Perhaps both?

 

[wiseguy1]

I guess the Habs were afraid to see him sign an NHL contract with another team since he was only signed to an AHL contract before yesterday.

This is really good news for him and a great story.

I'm sure talk will start soon about him playing at wing.

LOL...we had a similar type player but even better in Grabovski...but we decided he wasnt worth crap.

Buzz Up PrintHAMILTON - Matt D’Agostini’s second goal of the game with 1:23 left in the third period lifted the Hamilton Bulldogs to a 4-3 victory over the Rochester Americans on Saturday night in the AHL.

D’Agostini, who leads the Bulldogs in goals (11) and points (18), scored the game winner on a 5-on-3 Bulldogs power play, with Americans defencemen Michael Caruso and Alex Henry serving minor penalties.

Kyle Chipchura and Ben Maxwell had the other goals for Hamilton (10-4-1-0), which won for the sixth time in its past eight games. Yanick Lehoux added three assists in the victory.

Stefan Meyer and Janis Sprukts each had a goal and an assist to pace Rochester (2-12-0-1), winless in its last three games. Michael Duco had the other Americans goal.

Marc Denis made 14 saves to preserve the win for Hamilton.

Chris Beckford-Tseu turned aside 27 shots for Rochester.

[hairnova]

This team seems to score quite a few shorthanded goals.

 

[Habspatrol]

Wow, great game for Ryan Russell.

who the fuuk is Ryan Russell?

 

[hairnova]

We got him from the Rangers for a 7th round pick last year.

His twin brother, Kris, plays for the Blue Jackets.

 

[Habspatrol]

I guess it's tough to complain about anyone you get for a 7th round pick. Maybe he'll actually be a half decent player.

I see Hedman is out for three weeks with a seperated shoulder.

CSS's preliminary rankings come out tomorrow. Very pleased to see Duchene at 4. He's been fantastic lately and his team's won 14 straight.
