Would anyone like to guess who the Prospect Park Prospect of the Week is? Here let us help you out by telling you about his week last week.He was named as one of the Alternate Captains for the OHL's Eastern Conference All-Star team. In the OHL All-Star Classic, he was the only player to score 2 goals and for that was named the Eastern Conference's Player of the Game.
He scored his 21st goal of the season (and 13th power play goal) in helping his Brampton Battalion win their 6th straight game and at the same time clinch a spot on the OHL playoffs.
If you have not figured out that we are of course talking about New Jersey's own Bobby Sanguinetti then shame on you. We picked the picture that we did to use because each passing day means Ranger fans are one day closer to Sanguinetti playing on Broadway and showing everyone why we are so high on him.
Sure Sanguinetti we acknowledge is going to be the subject of a feature in the next issue of the Blueshirt Bulletin but that is not why he was named the Prospect Of the Week as every time we turn around Sanguinetti is earning our support by his own play.
Let us take the goals he scored in last week's All-Star Classic, the first was all Sanguinetti as he scored an unassisted goal just 49 seconds into the game. It set the pace for what was one of the most entertaining All-Star Games in OHL history.
In the 2nd period Sanguinetti working off a feed from Brampton Battalion Cody Hodgson netted his second goal of the game. It was another important goal as the Western Conference had scored 3 straight goals to tie the game until Sanguinetti scored.
Key goals is simply a Sanguinetti trademark and if that makes us members of the Sanguinetti Fan Club then we sign up for lifetime membership.
