you think Tkachuk has Dahlins number

 

[MR4]

I don't think that's what he meant I think he means the Matthews Middlestadt type guys. Canada's team this year wasn't nearly as dynamic as in recent years

1. Middlestadt is around a Dubois level player
2. Most of our top U20 kids are in the NHL already.

 

[Abraham de Lacy]

Sure bud

Let's take a look at the 2017 1st round NHL draft

Canada 12 players
US + Finland 5
Sweden 4
Czech Rep 2
Rus + Switz 1

2nd round it's Canada 15 and US 4

Yes I know, it is completely irrational judging by the draft numbers .. but my spider senses tells me that the might be a small but significant bias towards Canadian players.

Just my gut talking. Thanks for the reply btw.

"Hard to remember a 17 year old defenseman being an impact player in this tournament"

Hedman was an all-star pick in his D-1 season as a 16 year old.

He was also drafted 9 years ago though so I think its fair to say that it rarely happens

First to one wins lol? Jesus these teams are packing it completely in

A sober wiev looking at talent is per capita so Sweden is by far the greatest hockey federation. Per Capita. Not anything else. Canada id line 60 mill swden is like 9 mill

Canada doesnt have 60 million people, around 33 million.

Canada has like 33 mill but I get your point.

I expected a high scoring game. Doesn't look good so far.

 

[Chimpradamus]

True lol

Only these teams play much better defense than NYR does.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Not the guy you want in the box for the US.

 

[Hyzer]

Wow what a pass and what a chance, holy shit

 

[Minty Cowboy]

What a save

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Nice save Woll!

 

[PTmbp13]

Woll a stop!

 

[Erikfromfin]

Neither of these teams are that impressive... i think Canada takes gold

 

[Iceman]

What a pass and what a save.

 

[Jaykay]

Woll really showed up today.

 

[Dominance]

When will America’s luck run out?

Canada just had a 21 year old lead the league in scoring while Hart and Pearson.

I think we are doing just fine in the Matthews/Middlestat guys as well.

 

[KRM]

Jebus what a shot

 

[900]

1-0

 

[vippe]
