Golden Puck Awards winners

The Golden Puck Awards were handed out last night at the Hyatt-Regency Hotel in Montreal, Que.

There were 12 prestigious trophies awarded to the most deserving personalities of the 2011-2012 QMJHL season. Also at the event, five junior hockey legends were also inducted into the QMJHL Hall of Fame, presented by RDS.

League commissioner Gilles Courteau said in a press release, the evening was a superb occasion.

"Over 350 people were present to honour five new members to our Hockey Hall of Fame."

Pierre Sevigny, Charles Henry, Steve Duchesne, Michael Goulet and Richard Brodeur were the five players inducted into the hall of fame.

"This even was made even more special because these legends received the recognition they deserved for their exceptional careers next to the biggest names of this season," Courteau added. "In fact some of our award winners might one day become future inductees.

Power Rankings - February 23rd

There is some minor shuffling around the top of the rankings this week while the bottom of the list remains largely intact. A powerhouse continues to win, a couple of Anthony’s are doing well for themselves, even if their respective clubs are struggling and a once thought contender continues to struggle.

#1 Saint John Sea Dogs (42-14-0-2) – Last week# 1 - No change – Have increased their win streak to 12 games. The Sea Dogs are rolling at the right time. Can anyone shut down Huberdeau and company?

#2 Shawinigan Cataractes (39-12-3-4) – Last week #4 - Up two spots – Seem to be doing just fine without Brandon Gormley. The Cataractes have beat Chicoutimi twice in their last four games.

#3 Victoriaville Tigres (37-17-1-3) – Last week #2 -Down one spot- Have now had five straight one goal games. Things are starting to get a little too close for comfort for a team that should be handling P.E.I. and Cape Breton with ease.

#4 Quebec Remparts (36-15-5-2) –Last week #5 – Up one spot- After a 4-1 loss to Saint John (who’s not losing to them these days), they followed it up with road wins in Moncton and P.E.I.

#5 Halifax Mooseheads (33-19-2-4) – Last week #6 – Up one spot- Had their four game winning streak snapped by none other than Saint John. Return of leading scorer Nathan MacKinnon will help on the score sheet.

#6 Chicoutimi Sagueneens (29-20-3-6) – Last week #3 – Down three spots – Lost four straight games. Their vaulted offense has only scored seven goals in that span. Buying at the deadline is starting to look a little ambitious in Chicoutimi right now.

#7 Rimouski Oceanic (36-23-1-0) – Last week #7 – No change – Embarrassed Cape Breton with a 10 goal onslaught. Petr Straka led the Oceanic with four points. Rimouski lost their first overtime game of the season this week.

#8 Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (33-21-2-2) –Last week #9 – Up one spot –Three straight wins this week and have collected nine out of their last 10 points.

#9 Moncton Wildcats (27-25-3-2)- Last week #10 – Up one spot – Suffered their fourth shutout loss of the season to the Remparts, snapping a four game winning streak.

#10 Acadie-Bathurst Titan (27-27-2-3) – Last week #8- Down two spots – Gutsy third period comeback against the Mooseheads, but probably shouldn’t have given up six second period goals in the first place.

#11 Drummondville Voltigeurs (24-26-2-6)- Last week #11 – No change - Have needed a shootout in two straight and four times in their last 10.

#12 Baie-Comeau Drakkar (27-26-1-3)- Last week #12 – No change – Have not scored nor given up a power play goal in the last week.

#13 Gatineau Olympiques(23-25-4-5)- Last week #13 – No change - Adam Chapman had three goals and an assist while defender Anthony Cortese had four assists leading the Olympiques to a 1-1 record last week.

#14 Val d’Or Foreurs (24-30-0-5)- Last week #14- No change- Wingers Benjamin Casavant and Anthony Mantha each have scoring streaks on the line this week. Casavant has had points in seven straight (6G-3A-9P). Mantha meanwhile has a found the score sheet in four straight (5G-2A-7P).

#15 Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (18-34-3-3)- Last week #15- No change- Have only won three of their past 10. The Huskies started a six game home stand with a loss to Val d’Or on Wednesday night. They will be hoping that their extended stay at home will change their fortunes and create some distance between them and last placed P.E.I. Rocket.

#16 P.E.I. Rocket (17-37-2-2) – Last week #16- No change - The Rocket have now lost six straight. They have been shut out twice and have managed only five goals in their last five games. Leading scorer Ben Duffy has only one assist in that span.

#17 Cape Breton Screaming Eagles (21-33-1-2)- Last week # 17 – No change - Confidence building first leg in a home and home against Rimouski. Then they gave up 10 goals in the second leg to bring them right back down to earth.

Check back next week for the third edition of The Q Spot’s QMJHL PowerRankings. As always, feel free to leave your disagreements in the comments section below.

Big difference between East and West divisions

While looking at the standings, it's quite obvious there's a huge amount of disparity between divisions in this league.

Take a quick look at the Telus East Division. See how five of the six teams have X's beside them? That means they've clinched a playoff birth.

Now take a look at the Telus West Division. Only one team has clinched a playoff birth thus far.

Just that alone, tells you the Telus East Division has teams that are much better than those of the Telus West Division. But the standings only tell part of the story.

The fifth best team in the East Division, if placed in the West, would be second.

The East Division has a combined winning percentage of .629, compared to the West, who doesn't even have a team at the .600 mark, and has a combined winning percentage of .474, a full 155 points less than the East.

So what does all this mean?

Well, for one, the East would be a tougher division to get wins, given that the majority of games are played within the division. Teams constantly need to be on their "A" game. Coaches need to work that much harder to get the most out of their players game in and game out.

The same isn’t necessarily true for teams in the West Division. In my opinion, and many others, wins come easier within an easier division.

General manager's need to be constantly working the phones to keep their teams ahead of the curve.

Their scouts need to work extra hard, to ensure their teams can keep up with the talent level in their division in particular.

It also means that their fans are treated to the highest caliber of games, given that the majority of games are played within the division.

And it shows.

Five of the six teams in the Telus East division are in the top 10 in attendance. Quebec tops the league, as well as the entire CHL with a staggering average of 11,352 (Attention Gary Bettman!)

To the West's defense, they do have two teams in the top 10, Blainville-Boisbriand at seventh, and Gatineau at ninth.

There really isn't anything the league brass can do to even out the competitive playing field of these two divisions (trust me, I'm in P.E.I), so the responsibility falls on the management of the West Division teams to attempt to be more competitive with not only the other teams in the West, but the other teams in the Q.

Hopefully they will look into it. Their fans deserve it.

Power Rankings - February 16th

It's been an eventful couple of weeks around the QMJHL. Saint John continues to dominate, a World Junior star goes down and the usual frontrunner Gatineau franchise is much lower than they are accustomed too.

As expected the Saint John Sea Dogs lead the way in this first edition of the QMJHL power rankings here at The Q Spot. See them, and the rest of the QMJHL teams below.

#1 Saint John Sea Dogs (40-14-0-2) – Winners of 10 in a row. Their most recent victory was a 10-1 drubbing of the PEI Rocket. Jonathan Huberdeau leads the way with 18 points in that span, followed by Tomas Jurco with 17 points and Charlie Coyle has 16.

#2 Victoriaville Tigres (36-16-1-3) – Points in six straight since losing 6-0 to Shawinigan, including four wins. Victoriaville has scored the most goals in the QMJHL this season with 258.

#3 Chicoutimi Sagueneens (29-18-3-6) – The additions of Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Christian Ouellet and Mathieu Gagnon have made the Sagueneens bonafide contenders this season. Combined with Guillaume Asselin, Charles Hudon, Etienne Brodeur and Lukas Sedlak, the Sag’s have more than enough offence to go around.

#4 Shawinigan Cataractes (37-12-3-4) – Only has two regulation losses in their last 10 games. An injury to Brandon Gormley will hurt the Cataractes down the stretch. Even so, they have more than enough depth on the blue line to still make a lot of noise.

#5 Quebec Remparts (34-14-5-2) – Quebec have been little more than average over the past few weeks but a 9-1 victory over Baie-Comeau looks to have Remparts back on track. In a slump for the potential number one overall pick’s standards, Mikhail Grigorenko still has 11 points in his last 10 games.

#6 Halifax Mooseheads (30-18-2-4) – Brought home five out of eight points on a brutal road trip that saw the Mooseheads play four games in five nights. Injuries to key defenders Steve Gillard, Sawyer Hannay and Austyn Hardie would usually cause a team to be much lower in the rankings. Fortunately for Halifax rookie goaltender Zachary Fucale has been incredible, earning the Telus first star of the week. Nobody wants to play a hot goaltender.

#7 Rimouski Oceanic (34-22-0-0) – The Oceanic have not lost or had a game enter a shootout this season. They are getting hot at the right time with eight wins in their last 10. Any team putting up nine goals in Quebec needs to be taken seriously.

#8 Acadie-Bathurst Titan (27-24-2-3) – Boast three of the league’s top four scorers. Even still they are just over .500 and have won only five of their last 10.

#9 Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (30-21-2-2) – They may be third in the league, but it’s only because they play in by far the weakest division in the QMJHL this season.

#10 Moncton Wildcats (26-24-3-2)- Winners of three straight games. The Wildcats have allowed only one goal five times in the last nine games.

#11 Drummondville Voltigeurs (23-26-2-5)- Have won six of their last 10, losing two in shootouts. One of those shootouts was against the powerhouse Saint John Sea Dogs.

#12 Baie-Comeau Drakkar (26-25-1-3)- Have lost seven of their last 10. Losing Carl Gelinas for five games due to suspension doesn’t help their rankings any.

#13 Gatineau Olympiques (22-24-4-5)- Unusually low ranking to a perennial league favourite. Sold the majority of their offence at the trade deadline and giving up nine goals to Victoriaville and 12 goals to Quebec doesn’t help things.

#14 Val d’Or Foreurs (23-29-0-4)- On the bright side, they have scored 12 goals in their past 3 games.

#15 Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (17-32-3-3)- Have had the most goals scored against in the entire league this season.

#16 P.E.I. Rocket (17-34-2-2) – Have the worst goal differential in the league and have scored a league low 170 goals this season. But they have beat Cape Breton twice in their last 10 games.

#17 Cape Breton Screaming Eagles(20-32-1-2)- Have only managed one point in their last six games with loses Val d’or, Rouyn-Noranda, P.E.I., and Gatineau.

Is your favourite team too low? Rival too high? Let me know in the comments section below.

Game Previews-February 3rd, 2012

Game of Interest:

Saint John (36-13-0-2) at Drummondville (21-25-2-4)- Something has to give. Both teams have winning streaks; Drummondville has a four game streak going, while Saint John is riding a five game streak. This is a definite game of interest.

Alexander Radulov should keep his stick on the ice

With all of the attention rightfully placed on Mikhail Grigorenko as the 2012 NHL Entry Draft approaches, it was another Russian who found himself leading the charge toward a Memorial Cup for the Québec Remparts a few years ago.

That Russian was Alexander Radulov, who terrorized opposing defenders with his skill in setting a team record with 152 points in 2005-06, setting team records in goals (61) and assists (91) while maintaining a mind-boggling 50-game point streak.

Radulov’s efforts led to him capturing the major junior’s Triple Crown: The Michel Brière Memorial Trophy (QMJHL MVP), CHL Player of the Year, and the Stafford Smythe Memorial Trophy (Memorial Cup MVP).

He’d accomplished something not even Sidney Crosby can claim, and nobody has done it since. In fact, you have to go back to Brad Richards in 1999-2000 to find the next most recent Triple Crown winner from any of the three major junior leagues.

The Nashville Predators must have thought they were sitting on the next big NHL star when they signed him to his entry-level contract. He made his debut during the 2006-07 season, and he stuck around while scoring at a rate of 0.65 points per game through his first two seasons as a Predator.

Then, in the summer of 2008, a 22-year-old Radulov bolted back to Russia to play in the KHL to play for Salavat Yulaev Ufa. This came in spite of having the Predators, the NHL and the IIHF all release statements stating Radulov would be breaching his contract if he returned to Russia.
Nevertheless, Radulov went to the KHL citing better conditions, and he’s been a point-per-game player ever since while capturing the 2010 KHL MVP honours.

Radulov was enjoying his career out of the North American hockey spotlight, setting KHL records while helping Ufa to the 2011 Gagarin Cup.

Then, this happened.


Now, I’m not exactly sure what happened to cause the stick-swinging in the first place. Maybe it was a bad shift for Radulov, maybe a fan was heckling him, or maybe he wasn’t happy with his playing time, it could be just about anything. I’m not one to convict without a fair trial and argument, because it could have been accidental for all we know.

With that said, the constant line we hear from analysts when a stick infraction gets called is ‘You have to be in control of your stick at all times, regardless of where you are.’

Evidently, Radulov didn’t get the memo that the rule also applies while you’re on the bench. If it didn’t, professional hockey would be an extended Slap Shot movie.

More importantly, regardless of the scenario, you DO NOT hit one of your coaches. It’s often said coaches are merely ‘hired to be fired,’ but they should be respected while they’re coaching you. From Alexander Ovechkin’s saga with Bruce Boudreau earlier this season to Radulov’s actions here, it looks as if that respect is slowly starting to go the way of the 1-3-1 trap system.

Would Tiger Williams have struck Roger Neilson in the late 1970s and early 1980s while ‘Captain Video’ coached him? I’m sure he would have wanted to by times, but I couldn’t see him doing it out of respect for Neilson.

To Radulov’s partial credit, he does appear to wave as if to apologize to the coach, but it appears to be half-hearted. It’s just my observation (Note: My views are mine alone, and they certainly don’t reflect those of the rest of The Q Spot staff), but if I were in Radulov’s situation and was truly remorseful, I’d check with the coach to see if he was OK instead of turning my attention back to the play. I’m also fully aware that it could have just happened in the heat of the moment, but there’s no excuse for what he did because Radulov should have had control of his stick, plain and simple.

Even a more sincere acknowledgment of wrongdoing would have sufficed, because he seemed to shrug it off without any further communication.

Sadly, this will be the memory of Radulov that permeates our minds unless he returns to North America to play again someday. He may well be the most talented hockey player not currently in the NHL right now, but unless he does something magical, he could become the next Alexander Perezhogin.

Radulov has a world of talent, but he needs to keep his stick on the ice if he hopes to capitalize on it.

Keeping an eye on the Q's Europeans

Each season a new group of European stars bring their skills to North America via the CHL Import Draft.

These players usually go on to play significant roles for their Canadian clubs. This season is no different with six European skaters in the top 30 in QMJHL scoring.

Three of these six skaters are QMJHL rookies, taken in the 2011 import draft.

Mikhail Grigorenko leads the charge of European’s this season. Grigorenko, the QMJHL’s top prospect for the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, leads all rookies with 61 points in 39 games this season.

He was ranked second amongst all North American skaters by the most recent NHL Central Scouting Service (CSS) report and has a four point lead over Halifax’s Nathan MacKinnon in the rookie scoring race. CSS ranks players based on the geography of their current league, not birthplace.

Grigorenko stands a very good chance at becoming the first QMJHL player to make the transition to the NHL as an 18-year-old since Rimouski’s Sidney Crosby made the jump in 2005. This is a very exclusive club, including Crosby, only four 18-year-olds have made the jump from the QMJHL in the past 15 years. These players are: VincentLecavalier, Pierre Marc Bouchard, and Patrice Bergeron.

Anton Zlobin has a lot of ground to make up if he’s going to catch Grigorenko for the European scoring crown. Zlobin is currently second in European scoring with 56 points in 48 games this season. Those five points may not seem like much, but Zlobin has played nine more games this season than Grigorenko.

Undrafted at the 2011 NHL draft and not dominating the way most would expect a 19-year-old European skater too, has dropped his draft stock in 2012. Still, Zlobin’s 31 goals lead all European skaters in the QMJHL this season and thus CSS has him projected as the 128^th skater amongst players in North American leagues.

Despite missing time due to injury and the World Junior Championships, Saint John’s Tomas Jurco sits third in team scoring and third among Europeans this season with 51 points.

Having played only 35 games, Jurco comes in with the least amount of games among Europeans in the top five. Averaging well over a point per game and having the luxury of playing for a powerhouse Saint John squad, expect Jurco to take over second spot among the top five by season's end. If anyone has the ability to challenge Grigorenko for the European scoring lead this season it will be Jurco. A late birthday delayed Jurco’s draft eligibility until 2011 where he was taken 35^th overall in the second-round by the Detroit Red Wings.

A three way tie rounds out the top 30 in QMJHL scoring as well as the top five amongst Euro’s.

Sven Andrighetto, Marek Hrivik and Matej Beran each have 50 points on the season.

Andrighetto leads the three with 23 goals on the season, yet of the three, he’s the lowest ranked by CSS at 186th.

Hrivik and Beran are tied with 19goals each and are likely to be drafted this summer. Beran is ranked 59^thamong North American skaters and Hrivik 65^th.

Despite various rankings, all six are playing crucial roles for their respective teams this season. Grigorenko and Zlobin are the leading scorers for two Presidents Cup contenders in Quebec and Shawinigan.

Andrighetto leads his club, the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, as well. On P.E.I., Beran follows only star Ben Duffy in scoring and Jurco and Hrivik sit third on their respective teams in scoring.

Saulnier extends his streak to 11

Eleven.

That’s how many games Alex Saulnier pushed his point streak to Sunday afternoon in Cape Breton.

Saulniers’ Moncton Wildcats defeated the Wildcats 4-1 in a Sunday matinee.

Saulnier has 10 goals and 11 assists for 21 points in those 11 games, vaulting into top 5 in QMJHL scoring with 64 points in 41 games.

Philippe Trudeau made 31 saves for the win. Roman Will absorbed the loss, stopping 29 shots.

Other scores from around the league:

Saint John 5, Acadie-Bathurst 2

Victoriaville 2, P.E.I. 1.

Baie-Comeau 2, Rimouski 0

Blainville-Boisbriand 4, Drummondville 3 (SO)

Rouyn-Noranda 9, Val-d'Or 3

36 QMJHL players listed in midterm rankings
