Besides Heemskerk, are there any other Sharks prospects on the Thunder? Also, is there any sort of pattern to Heemskerk's starts? I need to know so I can decide whether to pony up for a Las Vegas Wranglers vs. Thunder game in town. Thanks!
I just remember there being a lot of hype around him going into his draft year, and his stock dropped into round 2. no doubt left a bad taste in my mouth.
and i have to look at Mitchell every game, and he was once the speedy college guy with the good numbers.
you should do some research on Nieto .. He fell for 2 reasons --
He stopped growing and was considered small at 5'11" ( McKensie) and ,
he was 17 when he started at BU and play regularly right from the start- had a very slow start to the season .. the 2nd half of BU season is when he came on and scored most of his points resulting in some doubting his grit (such as Redline)
but NO ONE doubted his speed, puck handling and hands.. just whether he could play up to the NHL physically
You need to look at the broken leg and crash Mitchell took in 08 , it took Mitchell a 1 1/2 yrs to get back on the ice even limited.. He was very fast at Vermont and his 1st yr in the pros and will probably never get it all back .. but that was an injury and they happen and blaming him or picking him in the draft is a mistake .. He was a great pick and especially for a bottom of the 4th round pick
the CHL Canada/Russia Challenge is this week and next. If you don't know, it puts what is essentially a Russian U20 team (generally composed of portions of their upcoming WJC team) against all-star teams of Canadian players from each of the 3 CHL leagues in a 6-game series.
Freddie Hamilton, Michael Sgarbossa, and JP Anderson were all named to team OHL. Hamilton will play in the Nov 10 game. Anderson and Sgarbossa in the Nov 14 game

So I totally forgot to watch the game, but Freddie Hamilton has (to this point, with about half the 3rd period left) has a hat trick as team OHL leads the Russian team 7-6.
awesome.
The next game after this is, I believe, Monday and will have both JP Anderson and Micheal Sgarbossa in it.

Hamilton is going to have a shot to be good. I've only seen 3 of his games, but man does he remind me of Claude Giroux.
Wow Spin - way to set high expectations for the kid
I don't see the Giroux comparison but he could definitely turn into another late round gem for the Sharks.
Sean Kuraly scored another 2 goals yesterday, the US beat Russia 6-3.

Pre injury Mitchell may the fastest player ever to play for the Sharks. He looked faster than Marleau even.

lol what? Mitchell was maybe the 4th fastest skater on the team pre-injury. He never looked faster than Marleau and was well behind him, Michalek, and Ehrhoff prior to the injury.
Chris Crane with another goal and assist for the Buckeyes today.
6-6-12 in 11 games, 3rd in the CCHA.
That's awesome. His description was just a "tough guy" and his stats last year did not prove otherwise; but it's nice to see him show off some offensive talent!

Ehrhoff had higher top end speed than Mitchell but he had a lot fewer chances during games to showcase that. Mitchell had quicker first steps than him though. That comment also ignores Devin Setoguchi who, I believe, was faster but that's debateable.
Sgarbossa scored the first 3 goals in the Wolves 6-3 win over the Storm. He also added an assist which was his 200th OHL career point. His stat line for the night was 3g - 1a - +2.
Ehrhoff was definitely faster. Ehrhoff was able to keep up with pretty much any forward in the league, and I would actually have put him slightly ahead of Michalek and just behind Marleau in top-end speed.
My bad, no assist for Sgarbossa. It was a rebound tap-in, but they're counting it as an unassisted goal even though there was no change of possession of the puck.
EDIT: and now the goal has changed again to only give an assist to the guy who took the first shot. Not to Sgarbossa who set said player up for a one-timer.
