@Scouching@IceDogsReport Who’s come to the CHL from the USHL that has dominated? Off the top of my head don’t think any USHL guys dominated the WHL this year.
@BCHL_Alberta Fortunate to come into the WHL at a time when the available prospect pool for the league is at its largest. All the credit to them, they did it a different way by going with an older group that they only get for a year. Curious to see if other teams try and copy this approach.
@PGCougars What a treat to watch him develop the last 2 years and a bit. Despite some heartbreak, he’s had an unbelievable year going back to last years U18s. Was great to see the joy he displays after a cougars goal and the celebrations after a win. PG is lucky to have him.
@BCHL_Alberta High end skill will probably be younger and we have already seen a dropoff in the 20s. Vees success with majority 19 year olds, teams may follow that and build a bottom 6 with older less talented players and let their 16 year olds develop rather than play 5-8mins a night.
@BCHL_Alberta Also in the new landscape I don’t think GMs are planning on building around a strong birth year group of players and playing them a bunch in their 16 year old year to get that payoff when they are 18 and 19 as was done in the past.
@JonKeenNLSports Thanks for posting. Seems like inconsistent discipline from @TheWHL. Ruedig gets 1 game for probably a worse hit (didn’t find slow motion footage of it) and Foster gets the same amount as Sarkenov who was a repeat offender. Think this is fosters first suspension.
@colewaldiepxp Not surprised, but that’s not a lot of consistency coming from WHL discipline. Same amount of games as Sarkenov (repeat offender, don’t believe Foster is) and 1 more than Ruedig (worse open ice hit with clear video, video on victory can’t tell what part of foster hit stone)
@JonKeenNLSports@tannpara Why doesn’t the @TheWHL have an automatic review of all 5 min majors during the game like the NHL? Also, when would you expect a decision to come out on the possible suspensions?
@JonKeenNLSports That was a lot of iron that Kamloops hit tonight. Ravensbergen was great, but he’s definitely got to be thanking his posts and crossbars
@colewaldiepxp can you let the @WHLwild_ broadcast team know that all the different camera angles are useless if they can’t follow the puck. Making the @victoryplustv broadcast very difficult to watch.
@INDOCHINO some of the worst customer service for a company that is supposed to have a custom product fit for you. Almost impossible to talk to someone via phone call. Been told twice to expect a phone call from the regional manager and have yet to receive one 3 days later.
