According to a poorly translated tweet from the Finnish Liiga, it appears that our favourite philosopher Eetu Tuulola Dennis Wideman’d a linesman sometime yesterday. Hence, the title of this post (thank Bill for that one).
Hell, this version of the prospect update is packed with violence. Send the kids to bed early.

Dube might be the best junior talent the Flames have, which is a pretty bold yet completely dependable statement. The kid went off this week, adding five points for Kelowna. You’ve probably seen this goal already:
It’s amazing. Here’s another one, fewer dangles, but an equally slick shot:
Even when he doesn’t score, he makes moves:
Legitimate. He’s scored 10 points in his last five games, by the way.

Another assist for Foo this week, who continues to be snakebitten. Among all forwards who have shot 40 times or more, Foo has the second worst SH% at 2.44. I say it every week, but it’s going to reverse one day.

Notched an assist this week. Lindstrom is also likely to go to Sweden’s camp for the WJC. Being a third line centre in a men’s league as a teenager is a pretty tough resume to argue against.

Like Mangiapane, Phillips is finding a bit of difficulty after a wild start to the season. Just a meagre goal this week in four games. It’s not for a lack of trying, as he’s had 23 shots in those four games, including nine against Swift Current.

Sveningsson saw some SHL action (they have him listed at three minutes average TOI) and scored a goal in the Superelit this week. He’s a darkhorse for Sweden’s WJC squad, but I’m personally cheering for him. Kid is exciting.
