The Three Stars of the Week
1. D Morgan Ellis has emerged as the premiere prospect of the week with his most impressive production to date. The 2nd-year captain of the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles had both the highest-scoring game and highest-scoring week of his junior career. Ellis would collect two assists on Wednesday including having a hand in the game-winning goal to earn a 4-3 win over PEI Rocket. On Saturday, Ellis would have a career night as he scored two goals and two assists, including the eventual game-winning goal in a wild 9-4 victory for Cape Breton over the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. Ellis was held without a point on Sunday however in the team’s only loss of the week in a rematch with Rouyn-Noranda. Ellis’s week raised him to 7 goals, 11 assists in 21 games, equal to half of his points production in 65 games last season and he is only one goal away from tying his goals production from last year. Ellis is now 10th overall in defensive scoring in the QMJHL. Ellis was drafted in the 4th round, 117th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2010 Entry Draft.
2. RW Brendan Gallagher is no stranger to the honours list, Gallagher receives attention for a 5-point week over a three game in three night schedule. Gallagher began his week representing Team WHL in the 5th game of the WHL Super Series where had been named the captain for the game. Gallagher went without a point in the game, a victory for team WHL but his absence from the scoresheet seemed to light a fire under the high-scoring winger. Gallagher would score a goal and three assists as his team routed the Victoria Royals 11-3 on Friday night, it was his 4th game of the season recording at least 4 points in a game. Gallagher failed to score a point in regulation or close in overtime, but he did open up the shootout with one of two shootout markers by his team to bring in a victory on Saturday over the Everett Silvertips. Gallagher would tally a single assist as his team lost 4-1 to the Kootenay Ice on Sunday night. Gallagher’s scoring raised him to 6th overall in the WHL in points and he is 5th in the league in goals. Gallagher was drafted in the 5th round, 147th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2010 Entry Draft.
3. LW Steve Quailer has spent two years working on a return from a devastating ACL tear that ended his sophomore NCAA season before it began and severely hampered his previous season. In his first season back from injury, Quailer scored a mere 3 goals and 10 assists in 2010-11 over 38 games, he seems set this year to put such things behind him. Quailer scored two goals and an assist in a pair of wins for Northeastern University over the weekend. Quailer has now scored 3 goals and 5 assists over 10 games. Quailer was drafted in the 3rd round, 86th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2008 Entry Draft.
On The Radar: D Nathan Beaulieu had three assists on his week. D Mac Bennett scored his 3rd goal of the season, passing his previous season mark of 2 goals and matched his previous season output of 10 points in 19 fewer games. C Michael Bournival returned from injury and delivered a clutch performance in his 2nd game back, scoring the tying goal and than the overtime marker to bring in a victory for his team. D Scott Kishel has been promoted to Habs Future based on an outstanding season start, he has scored 1 goal and 11 assists in 14 games in NCAA hockey this season for University of Minnesota-Duluth.
Question Marks: LW Olivier Archambeault has no points in 3 of his last 4 games and is a team-worst -12. C Gabriel Dumont is out with a shoulder injury. RW Danny Kristo has 1 assist in his last 6 games. D Brendon Nash is out indefinitely after having shoulder surgery in October. RW Maxim Trunev has missed his last two games in the KHL, potentially injured. C Dustin Walsh is out with a leg injury.

Wow. A little snow on the ground and no new threads? Isn’t there a game tonight?
Yeah, what’s going on?
This ain’t Toronto – no need to call the army in here for a few centimeters!
—Hope Springs Eternal—
So let me guess. Halak and Boucher are mere mortals.
Jacques Martin is the wisest old man on the planet. Maybe Martin should just dress in robes and sit on top of a mountain in the Himalayas and other coaches can climb high to ask him the answers to age old questions. Like:
Young Coach: What is the best form of offense?
Guru Martin: That’s easy. The best form of offense is a good defense.
Young Coach: Who should be your leading point scorer?
Guru Martin: If not your goaltender then it should be either a defenseman or an overpaid over the hill veteran.
Young Coach: What is the best way to motivate a player?
Guru Martin: Sitting him on the bench.
Young Coach: What is the most effective 4th line?
Guru Martin: There are 4 lines in hockey?
I am enjoying TBay stinking out the joint with 3 “superstars” in Stamkos, Lecavalier and St. Louis. Coach God Himself is having trouble with a lineup. Whoda thought?
Let’s be honest, when MAB is playing 20 minutes a game, your team is going to stink.
I hope Timo doesn’t see your post, Leary. He might flip out!
Put Price in goal for Tampa and totally different story.
Jacques Martin is the backbone of this team and franchise. Don’t you know?
Plekanec is an overpaid over the hill veteran……good to know!
So all this fuss about Gallagher but he´s actually usually only sixth or seventh in scoring in his league. That means, as amazing as he looks, there are actually five guys ahead of him. The scoring in that league must be incredibly high and to be taken with a grain of salt. Who are the guys ahead of him and are they considered to be A1 prospects?
I’m pretty sure Gallagher has played less games than the players ahead of him (he missed games early on because he was in an NHL camp… hint hint). Also, Brendan plays on a bad team. He’s pretty much a one man wrecking crew.
Really? Couldn’t find it on my iPhone but my girlfriend sent me the link through email about an hour ago
I would say C but more for Martins system. If only he could find a perfect balance of offence and defence…. And did anybody see that fight on YouTube… Man that bruins fans was for sure hurting the next day
Video was taken off youtube. Is it uploaded somewhere else?
Habs have 5 goals against in the last 4 games with 4 rookie defensemen.
Habs Last 4 games:
CAR: 0 GA (Price)
NYI: 4GA (Budaj)
RAN: 0GA (Price)
BOS: 1GA (Price)
TOTAL: 5GA in 4 GP
93 Shots against ( 60 on Price and 33 on Budaj)
23.25 shots/game average
20 shots/game average on Price (3 games not 4)
Tampa Last 4 games:
WPG: 5GA
PIT: 1GA
NJD: 4GA
TOR: 7GA
TOTAL: 17GA in 4GP
Now, my question is (since calls for Martin’s head seemed to have regressed a little bit lately), is this attributed to:
A. Price
B. Martin’s system/philosophy of tight team defense
C. Both (but which one more?)
———————————————————-
It’s P.K. Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
Sam I have to go with A, we will go as far as Price takes us. The aspect of the game that surprised me yesterday, was how quick our D got the puck out and at how efficient they were with their passing. I can see this mobile type of D joining the rush and helping the forwards, get a few more goals. I really like Gill but he sure seems slow compared to some of these guys. I am starting to wonder if we take alot of penalties just hooking guys so he can get to the puck.
Gotta be C, and it’s Martin’s system that is doing it more. Price has been excellent, but without that D first mentality, the rookie D wouldn’t be getting so much help.
Extreme fans are like employees……ride the good times and bitch the bad…….yet they have all the answers!!
After tonight’s game, Tampa will have the fifth worst goal differential in the NHL. All that talent, yet their numbers make them look like a bottom feeder team, has to be the coaching, right?
Nice work Robert, and as always some great information. I think we have some real gems in the system, and the one I like is Bournival. I really hated the trade that brought him here and was pissed about it, but I have changed my tune big time. I now think we lucked out getting him and that someone saw something special in order for us to make that trade. I have a feeling that this trade will help us forget some of the bad ones
I’m a very big fan of Bournival, mostly because he’s been such a clutch performer for Shawinigan. He always seems to score the important goals and that can’t go underrated. Habs could use ‘that’ guy on the roster.

Sounds like another Jacques Lemaire.
Aw jeez, I was hoping for another Maurice Richard.
Guy Boucher is a Coaching God!! I guess that depends on your Be-Leafs……young, smart, motivator, new gen coach that has the respect of all his players. Ooops, what happened?? Maybe there’s something to say about NHL experience. No doubt he’ll get there but St.Louis and LeCav will be long gone. Again, like Halak/Price, the idiots are wrong again. What else do they know better than experienced hockey people?? Ha Ha…..now 7-1 Leafs. Guy Guy Guy!!!

The Islanders play-by-play guy had him paired with “Gorgeous”
How would Halak and Price do if they switched places? We’ll never know.
I don’t put much stock on comparisons because the situations are completely different. I’m happy with Price, but I suspect I would have been happy with Halak too.
To be fair, Montreal fans mangled Vladimir Malakhov’s name something fierce for years.
So, Steve Yzerman spent his summer doing what exactly? TBL defence is still horrid. Boucher not helping himself out tonight by leaving Roloson in there but come on…

Okay the site is very quiet tonight and just spent five minutes fighting the “forbidden” message. Why?
Oh no! The team that God himself coaches is down 4-1 to the laffs after 2.
Tis a sure sign of the apocalypse!
Guy the Great! I was just about to post this as well. I wonder if more than 9% down there give him an “F” as well?
***Subbang Baby!!!***
That Tampa team looks real weak on defense, great forwards but they really need to upgrade their D.
Yes, but God is their coach!
I like Boucher timing wasn’t right for us to get him. I am sure PG wanted to keep him, but too much time was still on JM’s contract.
6-1 now. Total meltdown. Leafs obviously the Team of Destiny! Guy the Great. Did you see him? He’s writing in a notepad.

What visionary leadership! Waits until his goalie gives up 6 goals before pulling him, genius. Giving his top prospect 4th line minutes, brilliant. That’s the way you growth youth!

Interesting, mentions the way Ellis is going he could very well warrant an invite to the World Junior camp. Not sure if he’d make it but an invite is always a good sign
Robert, thanks again for this column. Also, sorry about your Montreal Expats last week, they ran into a loaded team with a near-genius GM (http://games.espn.go.com/fhl/scoreboard?leagueId=1471&seasonId=2012&matchupPeriodId=6). Tough loss for your boys.
Two questions:
1) Aside from his size, which is eye-catching, and the knee injury, what do we know about Steve Quailer? What kind of a player does he project turning into?
2) Who did you drop from your watch list to add Kishel?
———————————
How about it NHL? No fighting, just hockey?
http://relentlessineptitude.blogspot.com/
Quailer had some early projections as a potential power forward type.
I didn’t drop anyone really, I add people and remove them as their seasons indicate if they are worth keeping an eye on. Hamilton’s been axed heavily for underperformances by some.

A great job as always Robert! You are a very patient man to gather all this info!!
I posted this in a thread below about that brawl in the stands last night:
A caller to Melnick’s TSN990 show was sitting a few rows behind that brawl last night.
He said that it was 4 Bruins fans, and as the night progressed (or regressed?) the comments from them got worse and racist comments were being said about PK Subban.
The guy in the black leather jacket warned them….the comments continued…..and then he snapped.
Anyhow that was his take on it, for what it’s worth!
Melnick commented that maybe the guy in the leather would look good in a Habs’ sweater

I’m actually cheering for Kishel, not sure if he will continue but good for him so far. He has always been high on my list of “WTF was Timmons thinking!” Glad to see you give him some ink. Excellent job as per usual. Now if he keeps it up and we sign him, some logjam on the farm.
To be fair to Timmins, Kishel is a 7th-rounder, at that point you’re happy if the guy can be an AHLer for your farm team.

Don’t get me wrong, admire Timmins work. Just on the 6th and 7th picks, expect more of a “hail mary” and Kishel looked like a place kickers draw on a 30 yards and third play (ie: not a hope in Hades)
Kind of like Colin Sullivan this year, was hoping he’d grab another European.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
SF09 on Twitter
Actually Sullivan is a “hail mary” type to me, as he was ranked 70th (I believe) by CSS and dropped to the final round. A Russian would have been better then Kishel, but who knows he may just be a real late bloomer. Zero to hero from last year, which he spent mostly watching from the stands.

I just wanted to chime in to thank Robert for this feature. It is amazing and I think I speak for most of us here on the site when I say I appreciate the work you put into this.
Cheers!
