WJC: 2016 — Canada Roster Talk

[Jason MacIsaac]

Maybe because he was BY FAR the best player for the same group of kids two years ago at the WJC. Maybe because he faced the second most shots, on a bad team defensively and yet still had the second highest sv % in the Q.

Also he is by far the strongest goaltender technically. That first goal was bad but he hadn't faced a shot for four months before that. After that the Russians had several good scoring chances and Mason made them look routine. He's always in great position.

The fact he's not playing tonight pretty much shows what Craig Button was talking about. Hockey Canada knows what they have in Mason and they want to get another look at the other two guys.

They may want to get another look at the other two but there is no chance Mason is the lock to being the starter at the WJC. He maybe a slight favorite going into camp because he played on the Under 18 team, realistically they go with the hot goaltender.

Thought Quennville was in the lineup. Is he the 13th forward?

damn marner took a very early penalty

beauvillier, with an amazing dump and chase that almost led to a goal

marner, with a good backcheck and later on dangles and a great feed, drawing two players on him and strome almost scores

point drawing a penalty and merkley with some nice moves

mdc half fan on a shot should have scored

 

[Emerz]

LeBlanc with a blast.

 

[snizzbone*]

That's vintage Barzal.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

great pass from barzal and gauthier picking up an assist as well

 

[First Blood]

Barzal was so shifty on that setup to LeBlanc, nice goal

 

[OG]

LeBlanc was a darn good 7th round pick.

 

[snizzbone*]

Marner centering a line with Dal Colle and Fabbri on that last shift.

Czech's goalie with a nice save

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

liking mdc twice in one shift he was one of the first players back

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

finally point scores, playing great all game

 

[First Blood]

Tampa Bay has another hell of a prospect in Point. Man that goal was gorgeous.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

also hickets playing solid D, and great feed to point on that goal

I like Barzal today

also, can't help, but Hicketts seems like a future olympian

Point! Are you kiddin'

 

[First Blood]

I like Barzal today

Whenever he has been on the ice, his line has been buzzing. As well as Point's, and Hicketts have been amazing today.

 

[First Blood]

That pass

 

[Atomos2]

Point for Captain

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

point is the best forward tonight what a stud, barzal and mdc have played well as well

Best way to describe Point is nifty. Awesome sense of time and space.

I was going to complement Marner on his terrific balance but then he fell over a couple of times haha. Still, great balance, one of his best traits as a smaller player.

Vince Dunn finally showing his skills on the backend.

 

[BondraTime]

Loving the Hicketts-Chabot pairing.

Point is playing like a man amongst boys
