I can say this is the first time I'm excited for one our players to be run at. Go ahead and run at one of 'em, you're gonna have to face this after.




jmatchett (I think) had posted a video a few months back of morin just going to town on this kids back with crosschecks after a whistle lol I was trying to find that one, but couldn't

It was the prospects game from last year. Skip to about 1:40 when Straka gets boarded.

Pretty sure it's an optical illusion, or Ghost is standing on a 4-inch high mound of sand.

One is listed at 5'11" and the other was measured at 6'0.5" at the combine, so I think it's just how they are.

Ghost (middle) doesn't look much shorter than Provy (far right), to me.

Haha! Provorov is listed at 6'1 201lbs and Ghost at 5'11 185lbs - not that much of a difference.

Shattenkirk is also 5'11, but a little thicker build than Ghost. That said Shattenkirk weighs 207lbs and Ghost can probably get up to 195-200lbs.

Man look at the little hottie big luke is totin' around.

They had Mike Van Ryn on the radio and he was talking about Luke's career. He's going to his wedding so it's slanted but it's certainly a bit of a different take on Schenn. His main point being he was physically ready for the NHL but mentally couldn't come back from the criticism that came his way after his second year.

There's Kitchner Rangers stuff too.

Another player ruined by that (frank)ing franchise. It's absurd how the media is with them up there.

That O'Brien kid played briefly with the Caps last season, before they sent him down to Hershey.

It's been a long time since I've been really excited about the farm. The D prospects could all turn out to be nhl players 2 with top pair potential. Konecny, laughton, Aub kubel, cousins, all have their upside to them as well. 2017 the flyers could make some real noise.

I don't care how tough you are, you're trying to fight a guy who's 6'7. The amount of torque he can put on you, piled onto the fact that you're fighting upward, not really fair. I love it.

I can't contain my excitement for the day he gets a permanent spot on the nhl roster.

Most likely: Morin
Second most likely: Ghost, if he blows them away in camp (especially if MDZ is moved)
Third most likely: Sanheim, if he outplays both of them by a wide margin.
