EHM The Blue Line

Alrighty, lots of changes for me in the past year. Some stats up, some actually went down

Anyway, here's a breakdown:

stamina +1
anticipation +1
blocker +1
glove +1
passing +1
pokecheck -1
positioning -1

rebound control +1
recovery +1
stickhandling +1

+2 lbs
6'4", 231lbs that's one huge freakin' goaltender... should have entered my weight a bit lower methinks.

Birthday is in November, looking forward to a better season next year -- which will hopefully result in some nice, high draft positioning.

COngrats to Andre Vissia...the first and only TBLer to be in the NHL at the beginning of the first season after the first draft! Not bad for a 4th overall pick. Wonder who went ahead of him?

He wast the first TBLer to be draft, but I'm surprise to see that he is the only one of us to play in the NHL this season. It will be interesting to see his stats this year. Good luck !

Thanks guys... I too am surpirsed that I am the only one in the NHL. I didn't think my stats in the WHL last year was better than other TBLers. I know quite a few of us had better average ratings than I did. I certainly didn't think my attribute is NHL ready. I hope the leafs is not gonna rush and ruin the career. Wonders who else is on their D now...

batdad and Calv, I am interested in finding out who else is drafted as well. It would be interesting to see the results from ,say, the frist two rounds of the draft so we know who in the original DB got screwed by us TBLers and drop down in their draft positions.

SOmeday Vissia that will happen. But honestly, not til you get the saved game. Calv has enough to deal with in this. I was more just joking around about who the top 3 would have been.

My guess is the usual top 3.

darn, going directly from Junior A to the AHL is probably going to hurt my developement - I can't believe my guy did not sign a college contract - what is wrong with him

darn, it looks like I'm not the starter in Kelowna anymore (my teammate Timura has played 3 games, I've only played 1). I hope this doesn't stunt my development too much.

Probably you are an exceptionally talented player! )

I doubt it - "I" had a below 7.00 average in a Junior A league

One match played, one shutout, 10 in rating.

Congrats to Andre Vissia, who has played 4 NHL games so far, is 3rd line LD for Toronto partnering Joe Corvo and averaging about 15 minutes a game!

update done tonight. I'll be able to do another one on Friday & Saturday night, and then the next one may be next Thursday, as I've got exams from this Friday 'til next Thursday

Thanks for taking the time to update for us Calv!

NHL Entry Draft 2011 Prelim Rankings:
3) Cameron Steele

Yes, i was doubting my potential after my bad injury two seasons ago but i guess winning the WHL presidents trophy last year got my stock up.

P.S. were any of the TBL players involved in the CHL memorial cup

Marek Timura:
Played 15 games with 12 goals, 14 assists, +6, 8 PIMs and a rating of 7.33
Wanted by Detroit Red Wings

That's dumb :-/. Why I am wanted when they already got me?

I know I know...scouts...

Come to Toronto so we can pair up!!!!

Calv, am I the starting goalie in Leksand?

It seems like it, and I'm happy with 5 wins in 9 games played, as my stats really isn't that good.

Ranked 14th in the draft. That's not bad at all. I'm also liking my production so far. I've got 11 goals and 11 assists in 15 games. So far, no teams interested but I've got my fingers crossed hoping that I go to the Bruins!

I think you are going to end up drafted by Canadiens or Maple Leafs, like me.

Let's hope the Canadiens don't draft me. I put them down as a hated team. Maybe I'd pull a Lindros with them? I hope I don't get drafted by Toronto either. I would really suck to know that I'll never have any playoff success. Then again, it would be easier to plan my vacations. I could always count on being ready to go in early April.

Phew! It looks like I am the starter after all. But Kelowna's off to another slow start.

Kelowna sucks. They've got you and me. That's pretty much of it. I didn't even know a team like that existed till they drafted me. darn...Kelowhat? And I've got drafted by a NHL team that has a huge success in real life, but barely wins something in EHM.

gibson--Check real history. The Kelowna Rockets of the WHL are one of the most successful franchises out there. In fact, when EHM begins I believe they are defending Memorial Cup Champions.

Oh, sorry for that. I just can't remember it from the game like other teams like Oshawa...or London...usually I remember a team for their young stars, but I can't think of any atm.

Yeah, no kidding - the Rockets sure do suck. I noticed in a previous season Milan Lucic was our leading scorer. No offense to Milan, but that's pretty sad. But I have to say, I've spent some time in Kelowna and it's a beautiful town! The team might suck (in EHM) but it sure beats the thought of playing in Moose Jaw or Swift Current or The Soo or pretty much anywhere in The Q!
