Re: RPI Hockey 2017 - 2018: A Wealth of Notions
I was looking at our forwards stats, hoping to find a potential scorer. What I found was Billy Jerry. Four goals on twelve shots. In conference, three goals on six shots. All with limited time on ice.
I think that we should give him a shot at playing with Burgess or E. Ohrvall, our two best assist men.
I know that he doesn't have a history of being a big scorer, but maybe he is just maturing. Give him more ice time with a good assist man and find out if this is just luck or actual talent.
At least he knows where the net is. JMOThose who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'd certainly be game to see him play on a "more played" line, where the opposition matches up more skilled D against him.

Originally posted by FlagDUDE08 View PostIt could also be that he plays on the 4th line and the best defending goes up against guys like Tironese, Hayhurst, and Liljegren, so he has much more of an opportunity than he would if he were on a top line because they're resting the best D. Don't know if that qualifies under "just luck", or a different category. Plus, how well goes he gel with his linemates, or does it seem more like "best of the rest"?

Are we getting our goal scorer?
4.25⭐️ prospect is a pure goal scorer with mature hockey sense, puck skill, natural offensive instincts & separational speed. He leads the team in points (9-7-16). The former 3rd overall pick in the KHL earned B+ at @USHL Showcase.https://t.co/zEFMYvKlPn
