Wow, somebody gave Calgary a wakeup call. They won game 5 tonight by a score of 6-1. They outshot Kalowna 50-19! Myers got a 10-minute misconduct near the end, but it doesn't say what for.

 

Game 6 is tonight. 2-1 Kelowna late in the 2nd right now. Colin Long and Lucas Bloodoff with goals for the Rockets. Hopefully they win the series tonight and we'll all be able to see Myers on the NHL Network in the Memorial Cup!

Kelowna wins it in OT! I'll be watching the Memorial Cup.

 

If you happen to know where to find it online (I realize the QMJHL, or LHJMQ, or whatever they do with their unwanted Scrabble letters, has not yet finished), please let us know...I'd really enjoy watching that.

Not sure if it will be online, i assume it will. It will be on the NHL network though. (Not sure if you saw my post)

Btw, Friday Night Tyler Myers and Kelowna take on host Rimouski (Sid the kids jr team) at 7pm on the NHL network.

I was just googling "Memorial Cup" and saw that the champions of the WHL, OHL & QMJHL are joined by the team from the host city to compete for the Memorial Cup. What a-hole came up with that format where you add in the host city no matter if they are good or bad. :doh:

Here's something nobody has said yet (I believe) -- at this point it looks like Darcy made an excellent choice with this kid.

 

Scuse me? I was thrilled with this pick and made a comment way back when when we picked him. We had all the games on local TV. I watched the game the other night and the Rockets won despite Myers' play actually. He was the goat on both Calgary goals, the 2nd was more of a fluke than a bad play though. The first one was poor recognition on his behalf with a player coming out of the box.

 

But the kid has been a stud most other nights. He's been hitting, clearing the front of the net and getting nasty. There was a scrum and he had a guy on the ice. When he got up, he made sure to use the guys face as leverage so he could get up easier. Loved it.

 

Go Rockets Go.

Last year's draft was stacked, so it should look like a good pick right now. With that said, it's way too early to say whether or not Darcy and co. made an excellent choice with Myers. The kid actually needs to play for the Sabres before we can say that.

Lots of tournaments work that way--including the biggest tournament in the world. (You don't think the US appeared in the 1994 World Cup on merit, do you?) The Olympics do it, too (Italian hockey team in 2006 comes to mind). With three leagues sending representatives, the CHL rotates the host team among the leagues and does the somewhat sensible thing (although since it's not a bracket-style tournament, I suppose they don't have to have a fourth team at all).

Totally agree. I was just saying "at this point..." because the kid really has lit it up so far.

I know you're not saying it, but there are others around here who would read that as "hey, they can actually get some things right" comment. So I feel like responding to that line of thought by pointing out that with all they've done in the recent years, drafting really hasn't been their problem. Sure, they've got their bad misses (Kriukov), but they've drafted fairly well over recent years.

Agreed. I shall reserve my judgment for the future. Until then, I like what I see.

 

Hopefully he can become our Chara.

 

Now all we need is a Cam Barker.

We don't. But the NHL Network will air all the games.

 

Yeah, but some of us don't get the NHL network. I'm going to find it online somewhere, though, and when I do, I'll post a link.
