After watching that red deer game man I have to say there was nothing special about Dumba at all. His outlet passes were brutal and he didn't really flash any of this blazing speed I've heard about. I don't know though maybe he had a long week at the WJ tryouts or something but he didn't look like anything special.
Is anyone else starting to think that Hackett might not be the guy to go forward with? His play with the Aeros so far this year really has me questioning his capabilities as a goaltender. He certainly doesn't look like our future #1 right now, that's for sure. Maybe a 50/50 split with Harding at best right now.
Really? I know he had a pretty rough start but I think he's been great lately.

Hackett imo is something that i could see play the Olympics for Canada some day. He has a great upside and has proven himself good enough to play NHL hockey at the age of early 20's..
I like Hackett a lot but I just thought of a question. Hackett was selected in the final year of the old scouting group, right? Seeing how well Fletcher (and his scouts) have done as far as selecting goalies in the later rounds of the draft, do you ever see Fletcher (and his current staff) picking a goalie in the 3rd round (or higher) again?
STARS: There were too many players who did fairly well without standing out this week, so here are some guys who did well:
- Palmieri 1-2=3 in 4gp
- Coyle 1-2=3 in 4gp
- McIntyre 2-1=3 in 4gp
- Lucia 0-2=2 in 1gp
- Gilmour 1-3=4 in 3gp
- Michalek 2w in 2gp
COLD
- Dumba 0-0=0 -2 in 2gp
Granlund returned from injury and went 1-1=2 in 4gp.
Would really like to see Coyle start shooting the puck more. If the plan is to pair him koivu eventually, he'll want to start being a little more selfish with the puck.
watched those aeros highlights. really like what I am seeing from coyle, granlund, and zucker.
Coyle shooting more: yeah, I feel if he gets fed from Koivu or Parise he will have some good chances to pot a few goals. Is that line unrealistic in the future? Imagine how hard that would be to play against. Parise-Koivu-Coyle
