Nice to see some old Tigers having some success! Good on those guys! Vey is a guy who might make the jump sooner then later! Good to see!

I was so busy talking about Shinkaruk or Lanigan being player of the week that I realized that Valk was having the best week of all. Congrats, well deserved, keep it going!

Nice work Valky! Good to see him rewarded! Also nice to see that we have 2 guys who were probably in the running with Hunter's good week! Keep it up tigers!

Outside of Medicine Hat Curtis is very underrated. Well deserved. Could have been any of the three guys. Guessing Lanigan would have a decent shot at winning the goalie of the week award.

Nice to see a player doing so well and being recognized . Even better for the Tigers is how well that line Pearce between Valk and Shinkaruk is doing. They are lights out and in the defensive zone not too bad either.

Inside Scoop: let's not forget that our Captain was struggling until Pearce and Valk were promoted to the top line. Until then, I don't think our Captain was putting up big numbers. It appears he plays well off the defensive pressure his line mates are getting.

Game night, whoo hoo!
Weird to see 22 instead of 34.

No, Hunter had a slowish start but regardless of lines has remained in the top 15 in scoring. Let's not blow this out of proportion.

Hunter has been consistently in the top 10 - 15 in scoring. Your idea of struggling is delusional. She is a excellent hockey player. Getting real sick of hear how people think he is not. Why do you insist on ripping apart a 17 year old kid who is in the top 15 in points in the league and ranked in the top 15 in the up coming draft. Really, I want to know why you think more then stats show and what professional scouts and hockey teams think. I don't think I have run into someone this out of touch before!

I gotta quit reading this blog, so sick of hearing people rip out captain. Go cheer for some other team if you can't support this one!

Lanigan named whl goalie of the month. No mention anywhere in tigerville . You people in med hat keep missing the boat. But no boats in med hat. LOL . I suppose your precious euro goalie is better and just resting to be NHL ready . Go Cam, show your stuff than run. Xo.

Lanigan is CHL goalie of the MONTH!!!! Congrats big guy! Well deserved...... I think the 55 saves in one game certainly helped that vote!!!!

I cant believe Geertseen got traded, that is probably a good thing for our division in the future

For the record I was going to post something about lanigan, but it would have been buried under tonight's game recap.
