2015 IIHF World Junior Championships discussion thread Part 2

I didn't catch enough Canada games -- was Nurse really that strong?

No not really. I'd have given it to McJesus or Morrissey tbh

Of course Domi is the best forward of the tournament

Carried by Reinhart

My favorite part of the tournament was the slow mo replay of the Domi EN goal after an amazing interception and pass by Reinhart

 

[sabresfan129103]

I'm so glad Reinhart got a chance to play in this tourney. He'll definitely be a better player for it (like Risto). Can't wait to see him next season.

BPS is NOT going to be happy that Domi won best forward over Reinhart.

Did they at least get around to crediting Reinhart with his goal instead of domi?

Yeah, he got credit for it.

Yes.

 

[Bps21*]

Well then moral victory it is

 

[Paxon]

Well then moral victory it is

He was also named as one of the three forwards on the tournament all-star team and one of Canada's three best players.

The MVP being a Reinhart linemate is exactly how it should be

 

[1972]

It's going to be fun having Reinhart leading this team for the next 15 years instead of Thomas Vanek. Everyone compares him to Bergeron, but he is better at the same age. Kid has so much composure.

 

[Deevo]

Bang on.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Reinhart might be the smartest player I've seen at that age. Some of the stuff he does reminds me of what Bergeron does now. Damn, you guys got a good one.

 

[1972]

Lawson Crouse is a heck of a hockey player, wow.

Yeah I really like him. He is at 6 for me now. The other Draft eligible players that impressed me this tourney were Roope Hintz, Dragechev and Provorov

 

[BakedBuffalo]

I love the possibility of McDavid 1st line center, Reinhart 2nd line center, and Girgensons 3rd line center. As for recent viewings.. Reinhart is simply a brilliant hockey player. Those who love to analyze the little details of his game will know exactly what I mean. So good defensively, good on draws. THE all situations guy you want on your team. Thrilled we selected him.

 

[1972]

Bob McKenzie "my goodness, Sam Reinhart what a hockey player"

This.

You draft a center that makes everyone around him better. His linemates come up big and get recognized. Why is anyone surprised? That's mission accomplishment.

Yup

He was amazing in this tournament. He's one of a kind.

 

[Sabre the Win]

That sign

 

[Ralonzo]

Yeah I really like him. He is at 6 for me now. The other Draft eligible players that impressed me this tourney were Roope Hintz, Dragechev and Provorov

Add Jaros, Skalicky, Cernak too.

@wingingitmotown: The sad truth is that some of these players will go on to be drafted by the Edmonton Oilers. Some already have. for $.35 a day, you can help

 

[Savitar]

2nd year in a row now a Buffalo Sabres player / prospect scored the Gold Medal winning goal! Ristolanin did it last year ! This year! Samson Reinhart! The future is bright! This is such a cool stat,?

They haven't screwed up Nurse. Yet.

He was impressive in this tourney, IMO.

 

[flashsabre]

Groulx was just interviewed and he said that the day the Sabres sent Reinhart down he texted Groulx and said, " Coach I just got sent down. We are going to win the Gold Medal."
