2022 Hlinka-Gretzky Tournament (Canada Wins Gold)

[Vachon23]

Vachon hasn't been tested but he has some confidence about his net minding.

Great player I’m sure

 

[FourQuarters]

Canada’s lineup is loaded. Cristall 13th forward? He would be the best player on every other team, besides maybe the Czechs with Sale

Feel like character development. Cristall is one of the best player in selection camp, but maybe not his best in Per-tournament game?

 

[Whitesnake]

Bedard would be an insane price...but my god is finishing bottom 5 a great gift too. The Top 10 in next yera,s draft is 2003 all over again. And maybe more.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

He hasn’t been asked to change his name yet? The left is slipping?

Will have to use his alias "Jim Crow"

 

[Adam Michaels]

Well, onto other things. I get bored watching blow outs like this.

 

[atrud66]

Feels good to have a dominant Canadian team

 

[Shred]

U-18

Has it been established why Connor Bedard is not playing?

 

[Antiillafire]

Has it been established why Connor Bedard is not playing?

He’s playing at the WJC. Dvorsky is also skipping this for the WJc

 

[SOLR]

Has it been established why Connor Bedard is not playing?

Bedard is long graduated from U-18.

 

[Adam Michaels]

USA/Finland just started on TSN.

What a snipe by Musty. And what a cross-ice pass by Marty's boy Luca.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Musty getting inside a bit more. He's been really good since mid way of the second period last night.

Better avoid Hugh Jessiman

 

[Adam Michaels]

Jarventie ties it

Why isn't Bedard there?

Why isn't Bedard there?

Will be at the WJC

 

[WeThreeKings]

Halttunen having an off period

 

[WeThreeKings]

Vinni looking really good as a 16 year old goalie

 

[WeThreeKings]

Emil Jarventie has made a number of fantastic plays.

Uronen has scored twice on heavy finishes.

Kiviharju looking like the slam dunk #1 for 2024.

 

[HuGort]

Forgot about that. Is he only one not at H/G?

Will be at the WJC

 

[aresknights]

Halttunen having an off period

Hopefully he shows up in London this fall.

I think Kivi's offensive game needs to progress quite a bit (defensively he's exceptional). And I'm guessing not many have seen the real contenders around here (Catton, Celebrini, Caswell, Demidov, Virgilio, the 20 Quebecers etc.). Because its another strong Canadian showing in 2024, these guys will only enter the easy-to-follow radar this year.

Celebrini with the Chicago Steel
Caswell with Swift Current
Catton with Spokane
etc.

It's early, but Celebrini will be in the game with Kivi that's for sure. There will be others if Kivi doesn't quite develop his offensive game.

You guys saw Vinni last night, he's a first-rounder G.

Vinni is better at 16 than any goalie from last years class at the end of their draft year.

He's sound, but that American team is not good (no NTDP players) - I want to see him vs. Canada.

Might be a good target for our next franchise G, if we can get a 2nd 1st rounder in 2024.

Related to our homeboy Martti?

Brother of Roby Jarventie, 2nd round pick of the Sens.

I'm gonna see how Hrabal does this in his next few games against better opponents. Seems like one of the top guys for this year.
