Burroughs is +20 and the leading plus/minus of any d-nman in the WHL and on one point off leading the League entirely. A puck moving d-man who is good offensively. His points are down a bit but will grow a lot very quickly.<br /><br />Klimchuk just scored his 200 WHL point on Saturday night so he is a big time and steady point producer. His points were similar to Sherback and Chase's last season. He is also a Calgary 1st round pick.<br /><br /> The Pats clearly want some quality 18 year olds and draft picks to make a deal. Size and git will also play a factor in what they will take. If any quality team could get one or both of these guys I think they would be instant contenders. If Edmonton were to add both of these guys they would have a strong shot to repeat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-1390499848873980182014-11-02T17:36:48.692-07:002014-11-02T17:36:48.692-07:00Great article, Grayson.

Guy, I love your show a...This was emailed to me...<br /><br />Guy, I love your show and appreciate the effort you put into your show.<br /><br />Along with a fellow winterhawks fan I have a podcast that we do, called Pucklandia. But thats not why I'm emailing you. I read your article on the class of the Oil Kings organization, and I to have a great story about them.<br /><br />As the subject line reads, I'm the guy who in games 1 or 2 was broadcasted by Shaw and commented on by Dan Russel for giving Mitch Moroz an ear full while he was in the penalty box. That is something I love to do is just try to chirp the boys, get in there head and try to distract them a little. In which the boys also have some fun and chirp back and so on. Well Moroz wasn't any different he had some good fine words for me, as did Cody Corbett, and Henrik Samuelsson. As most hawks fans cant stand Samuelsson he was actually a funny kid that was all for chirping back! It was a good time during all the home games for the hawks.<br /><br />Well before game 7, I walked into the coliseum and came across the oil kings playing soccer, it could of gotten ugly as it was me, and the 3 kids I was chirping every opportunity I got. Instead I walked by and all said, "you ready for tonight?" Of course I had chirp a little back. But of course while I'm walking quickly by. During pre game skate more chirping, and after the game, and oil kings win the game. Moroz comes up the glass Where I am sitting and he starts to laugh and point at me. Which at that point I didn't blame him, because for 4 home games I was ripping into him. Well after the cup presentation and all that good stuff I was still standing there watching along with a few hundred fans, because it's not everyday you see a championship celebration even if it is the other team celebrating on your ice. Well Samuelsson got his stick, skated over to me, handed me the stick. I was shocked as it wasn't something I asked for. I do collect sticks from opponents so it worked out great! Then Corbett came over and gave his stick to me. Still shocked that they had so much class, and willing to give a guy who was chirping them the whole season there sticks. Then Moroz was the last guy on the ice. Still standing there I asked one of the scratches who was standing next to him to get his attention, he looked at me and you could tell he was curious what I wanted, but he skated over, shook my hand, apologized to chirping at me, in which I replied it was all in good fun go win the cup and bring it back to the WHL. After that I went down towards the locker rooms to say goodbye to some hawks, I came across Samuelsson and Corbett who wear calling there girlfriends or parents, but both were on the phone, both took the time to sign my sticks and shake my hand. While I was standing there several oil kings came out and getting onto bus to leave, all of them shook my hand and appreciated what passion and dedication I had for the hawks. <br /><br />I know it was a long email but I just wanted to agree with what you seen with Jarry and express my gratitude I have for the oil kings and those players! All class acts...<br /><br />Love the show and keep up the great work!!<br /><br />Penalty box guy.<br />Anthony<br />Guy Flaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178739486819659419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-4299223478941109352014-06-03T18:47:55.334-06:002014-06-03T18:47:55.334-06:00My wife and I drove over from Spokane for game 5 (...My wife and I drove over from Spokane for game 5 (and as it turned out 7) and I witnessed this gesture by Jarry and it really was a truely classy moment. For me it was somewhat full circle moment as at one of my first WHL games, back when the Buckaroos roamed, their coach Hal Laycoe invited me into the dressing room between periods. He gave me a puck that I have to this day. Game 7 was held at Veterans Memorial where the Buckaroos plied their trade and I thought back to how that young fan might look back in 45 years as I have and grin ear to ear yet again.

It goes to show that no matter what level of play they are in, they are always under the public eye and their actions resonate with the fans. Every gesture no matter how big or small makes an impact.
