One To Watch: Boston Bruins

-
The only downside to being a prospect of the Boston Bruins might be that you're a prospect of the Boston Bruins. The 2011 Stanley Cup champions are still very deep and any hole that the NHL roster might have because of injuries to Marc Savard and Nathan Horton, there's a line up of guys waiting for their shot. 

I was going to go a bit off the map and spotlight goaltender Zane Gothberg because I think he is an interesting story heading into this year. Here's a guy who was drafted back in 2010 and has been patiently playing in Fargo of the USHL since then. I say patiently because he's been waiting for North Dakota goalies Brad Eidsness or Aaron Dell to either turn pro or graduate, the latter finally happening for Eidsness. Gothberg joins UND this year, and I'll be watching to see how much he gets to play. 

But I didn't stick with Gothberg and those who frequent this blog or listen to the show won't be shocked at all by the Bruins prospect I have latched on to. 

Rookie Watch: Boston Bruins

~
Each Day until September 15th TPS will take a look at one team from the East and one team from the West and spotlight a few rookies to watch for this season. Since Dean began his half of the job with the Vancouver Canucks I thought it only fitting to look at the other finalist, the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins.

Saturday Morning Special: Nov 6

~

Today we talked to a pair of WHL play-by-play guys from opposite ends of the league standings, chatted with one of our go-to NCAA contacts to recap a college night in the CCHA Bizarro World, our 2011 Prospect comes from the BCHL and of course we welcomed our weekly NHL Insider back as well.

Top 5 Tuesday: NCAA Free Agents Under 6'

~
Last year it was Matt Gilroy, Tyler Bozak and Chris Hanson who were the hotly sought after collegian free agents, both ended up signing on with Brian Burke and the Toronto Maple Leafs. This year there are a few players of note although I really haven't heard names being tossed around quite the same way as we did last year with Bozak and Gilroy.

I started making my list and found that all, other than 6'3 Mike Testwuide from Colorado College, were under 6'. Therefore, all of them might be considered longshots for the NHL but does that preclude them from earning a pro contract from a NHL club? I think not.

I've made a list of some of the guys I'd be looking at, they might not be players that NHL teams are following as closely as I am though. This is just a list of five guys who have peaked my interest and have me wondering if they might be on the radar for a NHL club too. And they are all under 6 feet tall.

Top 5 Tuesdays: Hobey Baker Candidates

~
The NCAA season officially begins this coming weekend, unless you're in the ECAC Conference which doesn't start until the end of the month. I've been looking ahead to the season and wondering if I might be able to correctly predict this year's eventual Hobey Baker winner.

Probably not but I'm going to offer up my top 5 list, and realistically this could have been a top 10 list so I'll toss out some honorable mentions as well. So without further adieu, here is my list of Top Hobey Baker Candidates for 2009-10.

10) Andrew Volkening (Air Force) - The senior has enjoyed three straight seasons of diminishing GAA with rising save and winning percentages. The Falcons were a hair away from the Frozen Four last year so 2009-10 is a chance to address some unfinished business. A goalie hasn't won the award since Ryan Miller in 2001.

9) Garret Roe (St. Cloud) - He's small but the Los Angeles Kings still him couldn't resist him after the 5'9 forward put up a 45-point freshman campaign. The Kings drafted Roe (pictured) in the 7th round of 2008 and he responded with 48 points last year for the Huskies.

8) Ian Cole (Notre Dame) - Property of the St. Louis Blues, Cole is a terrific rearguard for the Fighting Irish. Not flashy and certainly not a pure offensive minded player, Cole's 26 points last season stand as a career high. There is no reason to think he can't eclipse that as he enters his junior year.

7) Patrick Wiercioch (Denver) - 35 points last year as a freshman has vaulted the former BCHL blueliner to star status in the NCAA. He'll surely take part on Canada's WJC camp again this December and it won't surprise anyone if he makes the club this year. Wiercioch was a 2nd round pick by the Ottawa Senators in 2008.

6) Rhett Rakhshani (Denver) - There were two Boston University Terriers in the final three last year so seeing a pair of Pioneers on my list shouldn't be that big of a surprise. The Islanders prospect posted a career high 37 points last year and will look to finish of his NCAA career in dramatic fashion this season. He opened the schedule with a 3-point exhibition game against the University of Calgary.

And the Top 5 are...

5) Jacques Lamoureux (Air Force) - A weak Conference should help pad some Falcons stat lines but Lamoureux is without running mate Brent Olson as well as graduated defenceman Greg Flynn. The trio finished in sequence a top Air force scoring in 2008-09. Still, he was a finalist last season and if he can somehow increase his 53 point junior output then we might see him back in the mix again. Easier said than done considering the Falcons won't be taken lightly by anyone this year and Lamoureux in particular will be a player that other teams will focus their defensive strategy around.

4) Riley Nash (Cornell) - I was speaking with a contact in the WCHA and asked him for his thoughts on Hobey Baker candidates this year and he not only said Big Red forward Riley Nash might be 'in the mix' but that he was his choice to actually win the award. The ECAC's short schedule might seem like a disadvantage since lower point totals should reasonably be expected. However, Nash has been a scoring leader for Cornell through two seasons and plans to take his game to another level this coming year. Edmonton drafted Nash in the 1st round back in 2007 while he was still playing in the BCHL with Salmon Arm.

3) Jordan Schroeder (Minnesota) - The Golden Gophers look to rebound from a substandard year and the newest Vancouver Canucks 1st round pick is expected to be a big part of whether those plans come to fruition or not. His 45 point freshman campaign has set the bar high for Schroeder who was taken 22nd overall by Vancouver in the draft. The Gophers forward has experience at the WJC and has represented the U.S. several times on the international stage. There were rumors that he was ready to leave to join Vancouver of the NHL but those stories quickly disappeared once it became obvious that he wasn't leaving the NCAA.

2) Louie Caporusso (Michigan) - The Wolverines are an annual powerhouse in the CCHA despite also having a constantly revolving roster. When Andrew Cogliano left for the Edmonton Oilers, his timely replacement was another former St. Mike's Buzzers forward from Toronto - Louis Caporusso. The Ottawa Senators selected the forward in the 3rd round in 2007 while he was still playing Junior A in Canada (like Cogliano) the season before his NCAA career at Michigan began. Since joining the Maize and Blue, Caporusso has become a scoring machine striking for 49 points last year as a sophomore and, like with Schroeder, expectations are very high that he'll continue on his torrid pace as a junior.

1) Carter Camper (Miami) - Earlier this summer I went on the record with my prediction for the Hobey and I've decided to stick to my guns. Camper has scored 41 and 42 points for the RedHawks the past two seasons and will be expected to lead Miami back to a national title game again this season. Despite being undersized like Schroeder, Caporusso, Roe and Rakhshani, Camper is the only one of the group who went un-drafted and is still not property of a NHL team. The 21-year-old is an Ohio native that played one season in the USHL with the Lincoln Stars where he compiled an impressive 71 points in 56 games. I've asked several different scouts, media and coaches about Camper and to a man (or woman) the player gets a positive review. Might a pro contract and a Hobey Baker award await Carter Camper at the end of the year? At this point, that's my bet.

TPS Reset

~
Question: What do you get when you remove Dean Millard from TPS for a week?
Answer: No mentions of that WHL team in Manitoba. Oh, an chaos. lots of chaos.

The adventure began before we even went on the air. My normal routine is to get to the studio an hour or so before hand so Dean and I can chit chat and firm up some of the stuff we want to talk about. This is usually also when I research my trivia questions and so on.

Earlier in the day I had pre-taped an interview for the show that night, saved it on my flash drive and promptly left it at home. Which I noticed at about 6:15. I live in Devon. There and back to the studio... about 20-25 minutes each way. Do I bolt home, get my stuff or...

Decision made - I Steve McQueen it home in about 20 minutes, grab my stuff and head back. I park and sprint back into the CTV building and get to the studio with about 3 minutes to spare. (But me sprinting is not a pretty sight and I needed all 180 seconds to get my air back).

Little did I know that The Sports Doctor was also having a bit of pre-show trouble. He was stuck south of Edmonton on a return from Calgary. After an lengthy stop at Wendy's in Red Deer and a conversation about speeding with a highway RCMP... Taylor made it in just before I did.

Preparation? Screw it... we've been doing this for a few years, good to go!

Quite honestly, listening to the archive since, it's not nearly as bad as I feared. I'm not as polished as Deano, that's for sure, but I got by. And a big thanks to Corey Graham who sat in with me to help keep the ship on track... or... afloat. See?

We kicked the show off with some discussion about CIS hockey. Corey is the play-by-play voice of the Alberta Golden Bears (hockey and football) so it was perfect timing. We also chatted about the WJC camp in Saskatoon and other things as well.

Corey had to slip out for the next segment so he could pre-tape an interview for his own show (Edmonton Sports Night Live, 9-midnight, Mon-Fri in case you've been living in a cave). Thankfully my first guest was Peter Loubardias who is so well spoken and knowledgeable in regards to junior hockey that I can just lob a subject into the air and know he's going to hammer it home for a couple of minutes. Less me, more Peter = good. By the way, Peter's the guy on the left standing next to another 1st class guy - Regan Bartel, voice of the Kelowna Rockets.

Peter and I discussed Canada's WJC camp in Saskatoon and we went in depth about a lot of players. we also talked about the fact that Canada is the only country that has a camp in December and in August... should they? It's hard to argue with success though so is it a case of "don't fix what ain't broke"? You can hear that conversation HERE.

Next up was a visit with Carter Camper of the Miami RedHawks. The NCAA National Finalists from last season lost a heart breaker to Boston university by gassing a 3-1 lead with a minute left to go, and you know we had to ask about that. I also wanted to know how he felt seeing players his size dominating the NHL or getting taken in the first round and yet he, with back to back +40 point seasons, is still a free agent. Finally, looking ahead to next season I declared him to be my early pick for the Hobey Baker and he reacted to that and agreed that the RedHawks will not take a step back in 2009-10. Hear what Carter Camper had to say.

The second hour of the show began with an entertaining conversation with Saskatchewan Huskies coach Dave Adolph. we talked a lot about his incoming class of recruits, #2 on my recent top 5 list, and also about the changes in CIS recruiting over the last few years. The growing trend of offering "Leadership Bonuses" - basically paying players big money simply for things like appearing at off season hockey schools) is getting out of hand and teams like Saskatchewan and Alberta are starting to feel the effects as WHL grads head East to the AUS. Coach Adolph reacted to a clip we played him of Alberta head coach Eric Thurston as well. Well worth the listen and you can hear that conversation HERE.

Our next guest deserves credit for trying his best. Devan Dubnyk, just getting over a chest cold, joined us for a little while to discuss the upcoming season. Does he expect to be in Springfield? Is there room for both he and Jeff Deslauriers in the organization this season or in 2010-11 when both will be RFAs? How did he feel about playing behind a team that struggled as badly as the Falcons did last year? We talked about as much as we could before we finally pulled the plug so he could give the vocal cords a break. Hear that Dubnyk interview HERE.


Lastly, the interview that Corey and I pre-taped earlier in the day with former Oilers colour analyst - Morely Scott. How did Morley spend last season, his first away from the Oilers? How did he land his new gig with the Vancouver Giants of the WHL? We covered it all and I know there are a lot of people out there who wondered "What's Morley doing these days?" so... HERE is you answer.

All in all, I'm glad it was a guest heavy show and even more pleased that Millard will be back in the big chair next week. Of course, he's gone again for the Season 4 finale show on August 25th but... I have a couple weeks to prep for that one!

NCAA/CHL Free Agent Forwards Wishlist

~
The Edmonton Oilers will be holding their annual summer Top Prospects Camp in July as opposed to in June as in years past. This will enable them to invite the players that they will have just selected in the NHL Entry Draft as well as all of their NCAA properties who, like Matt Glasser the last two years, may have not been able to participate because of exams.

It will also give the Oilers a chance to invite some un-drafted overage players for a closer look as a precursor to another invite to the main camp in the fall.

I haven't spoken with anyone with the team yet about a list of players they might invite in July but I have drawn up my own. It consists largely on overage players from the WHL and the NCAA but there are a few OHL and QMHL players thrown in as well. Some of these guys might get snapped up in the draft which would obviously erase the possibility of them getting an invite from Edmonton.

Last year the Oilers invited a handful of players, my list is significantly longer but... here it is.

Lee Jubinville (F) - Princeton Tigers
Born Apr 30, 1985 Edmonton, ALTA
Height 5.10 Weight 175 Shoots L

Jubinville's 4-year NCAA career is done and because of his obvious tiny stature he was never drafted. However, playing in the ECAC Conference with the Princeton Tigers, Jubinville was able to put up some pretty good numbers. His best year, 2007-08, he compiled 39 points in 34 games, was named a Conference All-Star and was a Hobey Baker candidate. By comparison, Oiler prospect Riley Nash's top offensive output so far is 35 points although he's played 36 games in both of his ECAC seasons. (Nash is bigger but Jubinville is older)

The former member of the Camrose Kodiaks, Jubinville is a quick offensive player. I'm not sure how he'll make out as a pro playing against much bigger and stronger competition. Certainly the odds would be against him.

Mike Connolly (F) - Minnesota-Duluth
Born Jul 3, 1989 Calgary, ALTA
Height 5.11 Weight 180 Shoots L

He was a freshman at Duluth this year after two great years in Camrose. Connolly was a player I really thought someone should have taken a flier on in the draft last year because despite a lengthy layoff due to injury he still was a leading scorer for the Kodiaks and he was instrumental in their AJHL and Doyle Cup titles.

In Duluth he proved that he could be just as big of a contributor racking up 42 points in 43 games for the WCHA's Bulldogs. He finished third n team scoring but scored a clutch overtime goal against Princeton in the NCAA tournament. Connolly's not a big guy either but deserves a look.

Justin Fontaine (F) - Minnesota-Duluth
Born Nov 6, 1987 Bonnyville, ALTA
Height 5.10 Weight 170 Shoots R

Sticking with the Bulldogs for a minute, I think Justin fontaine is another intriguing player. He is a former AJHL Rookie of the Year (2005-06), played in the CJAHL Top Prospects game and played in the Viking Cup in 2006 as well. He led Bonnyville in scoring two straight years compiling 152 points in just over 100 games.

This year in Duluth he was second in team scoring with 48 points and was 9th in the nation in scoring. It was his sophomore year so he's probably got 2 more NCAA seasons ahead of him as at his size, I don't see a NHL club signing him early. He was Duluth's Rookie of the Year last season.

Carter Camper (F) - Miami RedHawks
Born Jul 6 1988 -- Rocky River, OH
Height 5.09 -- Weight 173 -- Shoots R

Yes he's small but as Miami head coach Enrico Blasi told us during the Frozen Four Coach's Show, the fact that Carter Camper has put together back-to-back +40 point seasons proves he's got what it takes. The CCHA is a very competitive NCAA Conference, there's no hiding and there are few opponents where you go into games getting ready to pad your stats. Camper was tied for 23rd in the NCAA scoring race. He's fast, agile, had 20 goals, he can dangle or set up plays.

I will be a little surprised if Camper goes undrafted again this June, especially considering Miami reached the National Championship game and the diminutive forward didn't wither under the spotlight. Camper actually picked up a point in both Frozen Four games including a dandy assist in the Championship loss to Boston University.

Mike McKenzie (F) - St. Lawrence University
Born Apr 29, 1986 Whitby, ONT
Height 6.00 Weight 175 Shoots L

McKenzie led the Saints in scoring this year as a junior and almost took them to a NCAA tournament at-large bid. His numbers jumped this past year as he set career bests in every category. I have seen his weight listed anywhere from 175 - 190 lbs so I'm not sure what it is exactly but I think we can safely say that he is of average size.

He played two years with the St. Mike's Buzzers and was a linemate with Andrew Cogliano. He's also the son of respected TSN analyst Bob McKenzie. The soon-to-be senior will be one of the alternate captains for the Saints for the 2009-10 campaign.

Jay Fehr (F) - Brandon Wheat Kings
Born Mar 2, 1989 Morden, MB
Height 5.10 Weight 170 Shoots L

He's overshadowed by the big name draft eligible players on his team but the few times I've watched the Wheaties when they've rolled through Rexall Place, this is the guy that gets them going. Fehr had a 4-point game against the Oil Kings in October and followed that up with a 17-game scoring steak where he compiled 31 points. Fehr doubled his goal scoring from his rookie year to 32 goals and ended with 84 points.

Interestingly enough, he lists the Oilers as his favorite NHL team which leads me to believe he'd bust his ass just as hard for Edmonton as he does in Brandon. He's a spark plug player but has a knack for production because of how hard he competes.

Tyler Shattock (F) - Kamloops Blazers
Born Feb 3, 1990 Salmon Arm, BC
Height 6.03 Weight 198 Shoots R

This was someone I wondered about in regards to last year's draft. he went unselected but with his size I was surprised that no one took a chance on Shattock. I was told that his skating is a big issue and that may be true but I look at the leap forward in his production and wonder if this is someone that might be a bit of a late bloomer.

Shattock went from 9 goals to 30 last year and his point total jumped from 23 to 69. I think there is enough intangible evidence here to warrant an invite for a closer look.

Justin Dowling (F) - Swift Current Broncos
Born Oct 1, 1990 Cochrane, ALTA
Height 5.10 Weight 182 Shoots L

I had the good fortune of being able to cover for Oil Kings radio colour analyst Kent Simpson for two games this past year, one of them was against Swift Current. One of the guys who I wanted to pay attention to was this Dowling kid who was outscoring all the drafted players on his team and yet wasn't getting any recognition as a notable 2009 eligible prospect himself. Cody Eakin is, and deservedly so, but Dowling's 66 points were 9 more than Geordie Wudrick a player who went in the 3rd round last year.

Unfortunately Dowling did nothing really special in that game so my questions really didn't get answered. But that's why he's on my invite wish list - because I still want to know if he did it with mirrors or if this is someone who is really getting overlooked.

Here are a few other forwards that I have in mind: Dustin Cameron is a 6'1 and 195 lb winger who lit the lamp 33 times this year for the Prince Albert Raiders... Ian Duval is at the Memorial Cup right now with Kelowna but all he's every done is produce - he was a point per game player in Moose Jaw and for the Rockets this year... speaking of the Rockets, the Bloodoff brothers (Evan and Lucas) have made me fans with their physical forechecking style of play... Andrew Clark potted 40 goals for the Wheat Kings in his final WHL year, all of it spent in Brandon... Bemidji State got to the Frozen Four this year and Tyler Scofield led them in goal scoring with 22. He may have been the fastest skater in the NCAA but at 5'8 and 150 lbs you'd expect him to be fast... James Marcou is another tiny forward but he had 47 points in 39 games with the Massachusetts Minutemen which was good for 12th overall in NCAA scoring...

I have some goalies on my list as well as a handful of blueliners but I'll save them for another day.

Have some thoughts on the guys I mentioned (other than TOO SMALL!) then please leave some comments. Have some other guys YOU would prefer get an invite or maybe one of these guys has already been scooped up and I missed it? Let me know.

School Wrap Sunday

The NCAA Top 20 heading into action this past weekend and how the teams did:

1 Boston University - 1-0-1 against Maine
2 Notre Dame - Pounded Northern Michigan for 2 wins
3 Northeastern - Split with Massachusetts in home-and-home series
4 Michigan - Swept Nebraska-Omaha
5 Vermont - Split with unranked Merrimack
6 Cornell - Beaten twice Dartmouth and Harvard
7 Miami - Swept Lake Superior
8 Denver - Tied Colorado College on Friday
9 Princeton - Beat Clarkson then lost to St. Lawrence
10 Yale - Beat Union and then RPI
11 North Dakota - Swept Mankato in weekend series
12 New Hampshire - 1-0-1 against Providence
13 Wisconsin - Did Not Play
14 Minnesota - 1-0-1 against The Seawolves of Alaska-Anchorage
15 Boston College - 6-0 loss against Mass-Lowell followed by a 4-4 tie
16 Ohio State - Lost twice to Michigan State including shootout on Friday
17 Minnesota-Duluth - Did Not Play
18 Colorado College - Tied Denver on Friday
19 Dartmouth - Beat Cornell then lost to Colgate
20 Air Force - Split series with Bentley

Boston University now has an overall record of 23-5-2 while Notre Dame sports a 23-5-3 record making predicting this week's #1 ranked team pretty much a coin flip. I'm going to guess that the Terriers stay on top because they captured all but a single first place vote last week and the didn't lose this week (although a tie against lowly Maine might hurt them enough to drop to #2).

Now that I think about it, the way Notre Dame crushed Northern Michigan by 9-5 and 5-2 scores this weekend, I'd understand if they regained their top ranking. The Irish are supposed to be an uber-defensive squad but they scored at will against the Walt Kyle's Wildcats. Erik Condra (OTT) had five points on Firday while blueliner Ian Cole (STL) had 4 points including a pair of goals.

The #3 ranked team should become the Michigan Wolverines based on their 2-game sweep of Nebraska-Omaha combined with Northeastern's split against Massachusetts. The Wolverines won 8-3 and 4-2 with sophomore Aaron Palushaj (STL) picking up 5 points on Friday night alone. Interesting note that senior Billy Sauer got to play a bit on Friday and got the start on Saturday because Bryan Hogan was ill. Hogan started the Friday game but pulled himself because of how poor he felt.

The Vermont Catamounts were shocked by Merrimack on Friday night. Former Camrose Kodiak defender Karl Stollery (pictured) scored the first of 3 Warriors goals spaced just over 2 minutes apart in the second period which proved to be enough on the night. Vermont will slip a bit in the rankings because of the loss but probably not to the same extent that I expect Cornell to tumble.

The Big Red were swept on the weekend thanks to losses to #19 Dartmouth and unranked Harvard. Dartmouth stole a 5-4 overtime victory on Friday while the Crimson staked a 4-2 win on Saturday. Thanks to the success of teams previously ranked below them, I think it's possible that the Big Red might slide all the way out of the top 10 and settle around the #11 hole. Netminder Ben Scrivens is scheduled to be a guest on The Pipeline Show this coming Tuesday evening.

The RedHawks of Miami continue to soar and are unbeaten in their last 7 games. Enrico Blasi's is in second place in the CCHA standings and should up from #7 to #5 based on their play on the weekend. They've only allowed 8 goals against since thier last loss and have struck a toal of 29 times for goals of their own. Undersized and indrafted sophomore Carter Camper continues to pile up the stats in his NCAA career. Camper had 41 points in 33 games last year and has 36 in 29 games now this season.

Another team that is continuing its upwards surge through the rankings is Yale who are now riding a 9-game unbeaten streak and a stretch with only one loss in 14 games. The Bulldogs Union and RPI on the weekend and close out the regular schedule against Cornell, Clarkson, Colgate and St. Lawrence. They sit favorably in the pairwise rankings and seem like a good bet to qualify for the National tournament bracket.

North Dakota added a couple more wins to their cause after dispatching Minnesota State-Mankato on Friday and Saturday night. The Fighting Sioux directed a 2-game total of 82 shots at goalie Mike Zacharias and junior Chris Vande Velde accounted for 3 points on the weekend. UND has Alaska-Anchorage, Colorado College and Wisconsin left on the regular season scheule - all 3 are teams below them in the rankings and in the WCHA standings but none should be considered automatic victories.

Boston College is struggling. The Eagles have 5 wins in their last 16 games and are in serious jeopardy of qualifying for the National tournament. Brock Bradford (BOS), is pulling his weight (or more than considering he's 5'10 and 170 lbs). The talented forward has 19 goals and 32 points but he's the only player on the roster to have broken the 10-goal plateau. Netminder John Muse had a .920 save percentage last year as a freshman but is stuck with a sub-.900 one this year - is it the team's futility or...? With 3 series left including Northeaster and New Hampshire ahead, nothing is going to be easy for BC this year.

With their one-step-forward-one-step-back approach lately, Air Force is as good as done for the National tournament unless they can win the Atlantic Conference playoffs. The Falcons split with Bentley and now trail RIT in the Conference standings. The good news is that they still have RIT on the schedule, a seaosn ending series at the end of the month. The bad news is that Air Force is way back in the Pairwise rankings so they're pretty much going to have to win their way in for the National tournament.

Finally, with wins over Quinnipiac and #9 Princeton, the Saints of St. Lawrence probably get back into the Top 20 this week.

If I was to predict, and I will just for shits and giggles:

1. Notre Dame 2. Boston University 3. Michigan 4. Northeastern 5. Miami 6. Vermont 7. Denver 8. North Dakota 9. Yale 10. Princeton 11. Cornell 12. New Hampshire 13. Minnesota 14. Wisconsin 15. Minnesota-Duluth 16. Colorado College 17. Boston College 18. Dartmouth 19. Ohio State 20. St. Lawrence
