2015-16 Flames' CHL Prospects, General Discussion Thread

[GranteedEV]

Regular Season + Playoffs, McDonald's body of work is now up to a .9058 on the season.
Doing the same for last season, his body of work was a .9051

[getbak]

Barrie came back from down 2-0 to tie Game Two late in the third period. Mangiapane got an assist on the OT Game Winner.

Barrie now leads the series 2-0. Game 3 goes tomorrow in North Bay.

McDonald had a bad game. 6 ga on 25 shots.

The last was an empty netter

Big 6-0 win in Game 4 for Barrie to sweep North Bay.

2G-2A for Mangiapane (first star). 2A for Andersson.


The Colts will have home ice advantage in their third round series vs Niagara.

[getbak]

Weird second round in the OHL playoffs. Every series is over in a maximum of 5 games. Three of the series were sweeps.

Now, everyone is going to be well-rested for the third round.



The Barrie-Niagara schedule was released today:

• Game 1, Thurs., April 21 Niagara at Barrie, 7:30
• Game 2, Sat., April 23 Niagara at Barrie, 7:30
• Game 3, Mon., April 25 Barrie at Niagara, 7:00
• Game 4, Wed., April 27 Barrie at Niagara, 7:00
• Game 5, Fri., April 29 Niagara at Barrie, 7:30*
• Game 6, Sun., May 1 Barrie at Niagara, 2:00*
• Game 7, Mon., May 2 Niagara at Barrie, 7:30*

McDonald's season comes to an end, his Islanders side fall in game 6 to Shawinigan, losing 6-1 and thus the series 4-2.

Shame that their team got rattled so many times in this series, knocked his sv% way down to under .900.

Can he/will he go back to the QMJHL for an overage season with the Islanders, or has he reached the end of his development at a junior level and needs time in the AHL/ECHL next season?

[Fire]

Might as well put him in the ECHL if the team thinks he's ready. No point of him playing 25% of the games behind Gillies in the AHL.

[getbak]

The clock is ticking on his ELC starting next season, so they might as well have him playing in the pros. ECHL is most likely just so he and Gillies can both get a heavy workload. If Gillies gets time in the NHL, they can bring McDonald to Stockton.

[JJ1532]

Well, this is McDonalds final stat line for this year:

Regular season: 39 played 3.33 GAA .902 sv%
Playoffs: 12 played 3.67 GAA .900 sv%

Not too bad.

Just the Barrie boys still active now right?

Any of these games televised? I don't mind watching this series and check out the 2 Flames prospects.

I think with the NHL playoffs, the CHL rights on SN are over for the season. I highly doubt we will see another game. It'll probably be regional broadcasts only.

Really? Damn, why does the NHL make so many bad marketing decisions? Its just short term gain dollars for the owners, at the expense of the game and its fans.

The NHL? What does the NHL have to do with junior hockey in the CHL and the TV companies? Do they have first dibs on what gets shown on the networks or something?

That aside though, these contracts were probably signed before the start of the season and I don't think they expected all 7 Canadian teams to get shut out of the play offs. I mean, take last year for example. There was us, the Canucks, the Habs, the Sens and the Jets all in post season action. Us and the Habs got past round 1. How much market would there have been for people wanting to watch junior hockey with so much Canadian interest in the NHL play offs? Very little I'd imagine.

1-0 Barrie midway through the 2nd. Goal game midway through the 1st - Scott from Mangiapane and Labanc (who would have guessed that right?!?!?!!? )

Mangiapane - 1A +1 2 shots so far
Andersson - +1 so far

[Street Pharmacist]

2-2 right now. Mangiapane with another SHG

[Trailer Fire]

Game ends 3-2 for Niagra. Shots were 42 to 29 in favor of Niagra.

[Heavy Jack]

Down 2-0 going into the third Mangiapane made it 2-1 just 1:40 into the period on the PP from Scott and Labanc but its currently 3-1 now with 10 mins left.

[Heavy Jack]

Tough game for Mangiapane, Andersson and the top line. -3 for all of them.

Gotta battle back now on the road.
