Welcome another edition of Das Skate Netverk, with guest host Stephen Abootman!



Today Stephen will be talking about the current Prospects in the NWJHL draft.

: Hello fwiends, my name is Stephen Abootman, Ex-Head of the Canadian World Bureau. Today we will be discussing the diffewent pwospects in the up coming NWJHL dwaft. Fiwst I'd like to talk about Steven Jalopski.



: Look at this guy, pal, he's a wock'm sock'm wobot on skates. I think he's been in a movie ow two, but he should weally be a bouncew fow clubs. Steven somehow has been scowin' in pwospect showcase, which weally means he's been punching the puck so hawd it's goin' into the net past the intimidated goalies. Twuly a feet that only he could pull off!

: Next in ouw review is Wyan Bolt, the Centew fwom Anaheim; Though he doesn't look to mighty just yet.



: Wyan Bolt is cawwying his team with 4 goals, and 4 assists. He's expected to go in the top five. Lightning nevew stwikes in the same place twice, which about sums up his offense. Goalies can nevew guess what he'll do next! Which bwings us to ouw next pwospect, Daniel 'Mewica.



: He's a puwe scowew, with a lot of talent. Defense isn't a wowd in his vocabulawy. I bet he has a lot of money, whewe was he when Canada went on stwike? Anyways, he's a gweat playew and will be a steal fow any team that picks him up in the dwaft. Next up we'll tawk about a Goalie who's been playin' gweat this showcase, Jowdin FouwFouw.



: Jowdin 44, he fwops around mowe then the top of my at times, but he's a vewy talented goalie. We all expect gweat things fwom him the futuwe, and his display in the showcase is gweat indicatew of that with a save % of .901. Anothew goalie I'm excited to talk about is James Weimew.



: Weimew has amazing hand speed, wondew how he got that. In my opinion he's the numbew one pick fow a goalie this dwaft. He only has a Save % of .891, but the Lions team he's on is most cewtainly offense focused.

: Next up is a pewfect defenseman, Chuck Winnfield; finally an easy name to pwonounce.



: Winnfield is a spectaculaw defenseman going into this dwaft. He has great defense, checking, strength and skating. He lacks offense, but at this point in the game, it's not that big of an issue fow a playew like him. I see him going ealwy in the fiwst wound. Next up on my list is Mawian Potoczyzyzny.



: Look at this buddies haiw, someone needs to bwing him to a bawbew to get a good twim. Othewwise he's an incwedible skatew who can weally take a teams offense and make miwacles happen. In the showcase he only has a single goal to his name, but he's tied fow fiwst on his team with 11 points, which twanslates to 10 assists fow all you Amewican hockey fans.

Karl: Did anyone proof read this guys script before we let him on live television??

Director: I thought you an Albert approved him?

Albert: No, we had no idea what he was doing or who he was? How did he even get in here?

Director: So you're telling me we just let this guy talk on National tv for 25 minutes and no one questions anything!?

Karl: Looks like it, don't worry security is taking care of him, apparently he snuck in yesterday and smooth-talked his way in with the camera guy.

Stephen *In the background*: That's it, I'm going on stwike until I get mowe money! You'we all not my buddies, pals!

Albert: They'll put him back on the iceberg he came from. Now let's get back to the show with the 10 minutes we have left.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Karl: Welcome back to DSN, my name is Karl Langenscheidt.

Albert: And I'm Albert Burkhalter. We apologize for anything that was said or shown earlier in the show. It appears an Ex-Canadian hijacked our show.

Karl: Somethings he had to say were legitimate though. Unfortunately we wont have time this broadcast to discuss the other amazing prospects such as Belial, O'Callahan, Tatankamun, Lokt, SSL, Zherdev or Schultz. Next episode we'll definitely give them all a great analysis!

Albert: With the time remaining we'd like to talk about Montreal's game four win in the Four Star Cup Finals a little. What an incredible game if I do say so myself. It was back and forth the entire time, Knights going up 2 early on, then Impact coming back to score four unaswered goals.

Karl: The game tying goal late in third by Kelowna really had me jumping out of my seat though. Shetler had an amazing post season, and played an amazing game four! He really deserved the MVP title.

Albert: It's funny Karl, how much did you lose placing the bet saying Kelowna would win game seven in overtime.

Karl: Too much Albert... Too much. Anyways, a shoutout to Montreal and Kelowna, you both played amazing and enjoy your off-season. We're excited to see how your two teams do next season with this incredible draft pool!

Albert: Since you bet on the Finals, I'm going to make a prediction on something a little different. As many of you know, the Draft lottery for NWJHL will be taking place tomorrow, and this is how I think it'll go for the first round.

Karl: Sounds like a good prediction Albert, with the remaining moments in the broadcast I'd like to tell you the current team standings in the Prospect showcase:
1. Outlaws 4-0-2
2. Lions 4-1-1
3. Blazers 3-3
4. Battalion 1-5

[b]Albert[b]: And that's all the time we have folks, we'll see you next time! Danke und gute nacht!
