Jayden Perron

Smooth sailing on Friday night at Yost to the tune of a 7-2 victory.

Michael Hage, Jaden Perron with three points apiece.

Hage two goals, Perron two assists.

Then down at BG on Saturday was much more of a challenge.

So it's going to be a very interesting year for Michigan because they've got some players like DuPont that have very high hockey IQ.

I'm looking at Jaden Perron.

the Carolina pick, Michael Hage, the Montreal pick.

So when you have at least three guys like that that think the game at such a high level, one, the power play is already very dangerous, even though it's a new configuration this year with DuPont and Henry Mews at the point.

... abilities, and of course the offensive abilities of Michigan as a whole.

Like, playing on a line with, I believe, Horkoff and Perron-

[laughs]

Yeah, you're gonna get points.

Michael Hage with a couple of goals and an assist on Friday.

Jayden Perron with a goal and two assists.

Landon DuPont, the accoladed freshman with a couple of assists in his college debut, and Jack Ivankovic with 38 saves on Saturday and 67 out of 72 during the season.

So Michigan looks like Michigan, but how about that Saturday game where they had to come back from behind? Uh, what does that teach the Wolverines? How valuable was that in their development?

In fact, it is very common if you look at the scoreboards that you either play exhibition games this weekend or you play against lower tier.

That being said, the combination of Michael Hage and Jaden Perron is going to terrorize the NCAA this year.

What I enjoyed from Michael was the split of his points that were at five on five.

and where he went right so hockey players we talked about this with chris kreider before the the the trajectory the lines that he takes when he gets into the offensive zone where does he skate to michael hayes generally when he used to walk into the offensive zone would probably enter from the center if not the wing and then would slowly but surely just glide to the to the to the circles and remove himself from the puck what i appreciated more because it's the details i'm looking for it's he went to the high danger areas he was around the net he was battling for position in front of the net he was winning his one-on-one battles he was the first man back he won 64 or 63.5 of his face-offs this weekend it's the habits that caught my attention.

This is a guy that's going to be all over the place.

Jaden Perron, I apologize to Carolina Hurricanes fans.

Jaden Perron is also going to be a player to watch because they're expecting him to pop off offensively.

So that I'm very, I'm going to be very interested.

Last year, Michigan had TJ Hughes and Michael Hage one, two,

they

played on separate lines.

except for two years they played on separate lines it's gonna be interesting to see now Michael Hage has like a full five on five running mate where you have Jaden Perron pop off because he had 41 points in 40 games last year as well if he starts popping off too and Will Horikoff is on the other wing or you know you name it they have tons of options I'm not worried about Michael Hage's offensive production.

Then you have Jack Ivan Kovic, a second round draft pick as a goalie, a guy that's probably gonna start every game and as long as he stays healthy, being really good.

But then you think about the other guys they have in their, in their roster, Adam Valentini, Malcolm Spence, um, you know, Jayden Perron.

There is a long list-
