HF Habs: 2023 World U18 Men's Hockey Championship: Finals Sunday, April 30 | Canada wins Bronze, 4-3 (OT) | USA wins Gold, 3-2 (OT), Sweden Silver

I think Pekarcik will get drafted for sure after this tournament.

 

[Nedved]

I think Dvorsky is our pick if we're not top 3.

 

[SOLR]

Yeah, agreed.

Hlinka, WJC, U18, League play, that's enough hockey - needs to turn his body in a more powerful package.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I think Dvorsky is our pick if we're not top 3.

I'd be surprised. They passed on Cooley for Slaf, thinking they'd be uniquely positioned this year to get a highly skilled player this year.

If we slide to 7, bets are off.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I think Pekarcik will get drafted for sure after this tournament.

Yeah, he's also 6'2, so really likely.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Does anyone know when we'll know the world championship rosters?

On Wikipedia it says each nation needs to submit a "long list" no later than 2 weeks before the tournament starts, meaning tomorrow would be the deadline.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Alright Switzerland. Those pegs are worse than my beer leagues.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Slovaks are blocking shots like 2010 playoff habs lol, has Urban had to make a save this period?

 

[SOLR]

3-NIL

Dalibor for the quatuor?!

 

[NotProkofievian]

Nice goal.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Dvorsky with another apple

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Damn, Slovakia, damn

 

[Seb]

Choo choo!

 

[BergevinBurner]

Dvorsky's now been involved in 10 of Slovakia's last 12 goals I believe.

Michkov and Smith you can say they are more skilled. But don’t tell me there’s anyone else worthy of being taken ahead of Dvorsky due to skill (not counting Bedard, Fantilli and Carlsson obviously).

 

[Seb]

Dvorsky's now been involved in 10 of Slovakia's last 12 goals I believe.

Anyone still doubts his offensive potential?

The Danault comparison smh...

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Wow, 3-0 Slovakia.

Dvorsky with the entry, and another assist. He's doing it against much, much better teams than the USA squad too.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Dvorsky's now been involved in 10 of Slovakia's last 12 goals I believe.

He’s the MVP of the tourney so far.

Smith is playing with two lottery picks on his line too. Great support on other lines as well.

Dvorsky is carrying Slovakia on his back.

Dvorsky is carrying Slovakia on his back.

Yeah, no question about that.

He already plays an NHL game. He will be an NHLer. Question is, how good of an NHLer.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Dvorsky's puck protection skills are really good. Underrated part of his game when discussing him.

 

[26Mats]

Anyone still doubts his offensive potential?

The Danault comparison smh...

And for those that didn't know it when he was here, Danault would be a great addition to a hockey club. A dream at 17, but still not a bad add at 6, 7 - one of the best defensive centers that can get you 50 to 60 points.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Yeah, no question about that.

He already plays an NHL game. He will be an NHLer. Question is, how good of an NHLer.

Maybe he won’t rack up points in meaningless blowouts like Will Smith. But in the playoffs Dvorsky is who want on the ice.

 

[Whitesnake]

Neat defensive play again and great pass by Dvo. If that tournament is any indication...I will start to be surprise if Dvo is NOT our pick....Add the size, add the versatility.....

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

future line

Slafkovsky - Dvorsky - Mesar

how long till Nemec becomes a ufa ?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Damn 3-0 Slovakia after 2.

Dvorsky vs Smith Semi-Finals really close!
