Cape Breton Screaming Eagles

CC, could you give me some insight on how Letang (D-man for Val d'Or) has looked? Hes a prospect for the Penguins and I got to see him a bit in the nhl early in the year, most of the info I get is from other pens fans, so was wondering what you might think of him, watching him play for the opposition.

The guy is freakin' awesome. He was named to the QMJHL First-Team All-Star Team this year and has chalked up a couple of "player of the week" honors this past season. He's pretty young, he just turned 20 this week and I think he's got a heck of a career ahead of him. Okay I say he's "young" for the NHL but he's actually kinda "old" for the QMJHL. He's been kicking ass in the playoffs scoring 10 goals, including three game winners and he has 14 assists (these are statistics through the 12 playoff games so far).

Our star defenseman is Jean-Claude Sawyer is pretty good too but Letang is definitely better.

Letang is the team captain for Val-d'Or but he's kind of a hothead. I suppose in one way it's a good thing to be a leader and keep your team motivated BUT tonight, it's just getting him in trouble.

At the end of two periods, it's 2-1 Screaming Eagles!
