[Boss Man Hughes]

What a bs 5 min call on Latvia. Player wasn't even hit into the boards.

 

[SlafySZN]

Hutson’s brother is so good. Very similar to Lane, with slightly better skating i’d say.

I want the habs to have a Hutson brothers collection

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Cam Allen being interviewed. The guy has no shoulders.

Smith scores on the tip. Do like that he doesn’t shy from the front of the net.

Don’t think it shows that he’s not afraid of going in front of the net. He snuck into space knowing what Leonard was doing and tipped the puck from the side of the net. It shows his intelligence and anticipation more than physical willingness.

He has been going to those ereas all game, though. He was the one in front of the net on Leonard’s goal.

2nd goal for Smith and 3rd point for Leonard.

I was just talking specifically about that goal. I was impressed by his reading of the play. Not sure if it’s a set play that he and Leonard practice.

But I’ve seen him go to the net elsewhere in this game and other viewings. More so just pointing it out as an underrated quality of his.

But overall, I thought he’d be more dominant today skill wise, kind of disappointed

 

[BergevinBurner]

Wood, Cristall and Barlow were all pretty disappointing for Canada today.

Smith, Moore and Leonard have looked pretty decent, but I'm not sure how much is due to their existing chemistry.

It'll be interesting to see if Dvorsky or Sale can steal the day with a strong performance.

I agree, he’s a smart player

 

[NotProkofievian]

Dvorsky playing a really solid game so far.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Dvorsky playing a really solid game so far.

He just missed a couple of goals. He’s got the complete package. Don’t foresee anyone surpassing for the 5th spot on my list.

I think he'll be a really good player.

 

[Hannibal]

Leonard will be a awesome player.

Benson or Leonard for me.

Is the Reinbacher kid someone we will be looking at this high in the draft ?

 

[NotProkofievian]

I think so.

 

[SlafySZN]

Was that Timmins at the Zchech/Slovakia game?

He’s gonna draft Dvorsky with Colombus 3rd pick

 

[BergevinBurner]

Nice snipe for Sale just then.

Hes gonna be at the mens WC for Austria in may.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Why do they even need to look at that? 5, a game and a suspension.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Let's see if Halttunen can find any redemption for his dogshit draft year season.

I like the idea of Haltunen. A very impressive specimen, but its curious why he cant put it together.

RDS is only broadcasting canada games, the dunce.

Showing the Canada game again.

Stennberh just scored, not a good look for Bjarnason IMO.

He looked so good last year. He just hasn't done anything to grab the success of which he's capable. He may never.

The U18 is the place for it, physically he's way ahead of probably 95% of the other players. There's no excuse if he can't dominate that field.

 

[Mrb1p]

Celebrini is insane lol

Probably closer to 100%. Hes an absolute horse.
