Wow so lucky bounce with less than 2 mins to go, negating any points from a hard fought road game, a bunny screen/snipe and now thee old carom off the defenseman in front goal.

Fun.

Ive watched a handful of Morin's Junior games and I swear he looks better in the NHL preseason than in his Junior games.

Nice no call on that crosscheck from behind. Hopefully Jake isn't hurt as a result, either way I doubt we see him try that move again anytime soon.

The whole defense is just completely overwhelmed

Yeah, but let's be honest: Vinny hasn't exactly been a net potitive during this particular contest

In both cases, he rotated back on D to cover for MDZ pinching... Vinny as the last line of defense is not something you ever want to see... Chief, stop putting that group out there together...

Basically it's period 1 of last night so far. Vinny screened Mason on goal number one, and the second goal was shot from the top of the circle and was going 4 feet wide before it hit Luke's skate in the slot.

A lot of that is the unstructured play. I've noticed that too when they play the tournament games together. All of a sudden with better players things go the way they're supposed too.

Yeah. You don't need analytics, you don't need to watch the game (honestly, its better for your intestines and your liver if you don't), all you need is Bill's blog.

Yeah. The PP is much more unstructured in Juniors. THere is much more movement in the offensive zone
