HF Habs: 2025 World Junior Championship Semi-Finals: Saturday, January 4, 3:30 PM & 7:30 PM

Ritchie came close.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Ritchie amateur. Caufield puts that top titty

 

[The Real Timo]

Kenzie to ask some more pointed questions now.

 

[Nedved]

At this point the cowan misses are comical.

 

[Be a Hab]

I thought Cowen played well in preseason vs the Habs.

Shouldn't he be dominating in this tourney?

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

This game is starting to heat up , hope the third is good , Czech's have played really solid

 

[Riddick412]

The was the last 5 mins they needed. Too bad they can't play like that for an entire period.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Pretty sure this year will be Martone's only appearance in this tournament. I expect him to be in the NHL next year.

 

[sampollock]

Kenzie will get down to the basics

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Louis Leblanc would clutch this

 

[OnTheRun]

Haven't followed the tournament and I don't know much about prospects outside the habs ones but this team Canada seems to lack individual quality. Looks like a bunch of system players who don't know how to improvise and adapt to their teammates. Best on best tournies are usually about individual quality no matter the sport, no time to practice fancy systems and set plays.

Are these the top guys at their respective position or did management try to galaxy brain that shit and failed?

Edit: Oh and they score

It's been a while since Hockey Canada built their team around the 12 best forward/6 best Dman philosophy. What they do now is pick 3-4 guys identify them as their "stars" then stack the team with "toolsy" guys to surround them.

Knowing Team Canada brass they wouldnt invite him again

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Nice to see some traffic. And not Cowan

Coach is getting desperate, I guess.

 

[Habs]

MSL does that?

in my head

I think college would really have been best for him; he's a really great prospect, but I think the NHL would be too fast for him currently.

Wish we had a hurl reaction

Suzuki, Caufield and Hutson were all meh during this tourney, Poehling was great

Completely agree, and I love Martone.

Hagens is 100% ready though. That kid is special

 

[The Real Timo]

We are winning this. Czech have been on the PK all 2nd period. Can't imagine how bad it will be in the 3rd. We are winning.

I actually think so too.

 

[rahad]

Yep really impressive, with his age and smaller frame

Cole Hutson also have been great. Great Pick by the Caps in the second round. GM and scout are dumb from not drafting him in the first round.

 

[The Real Timo]

Oh come on Kenzie. Gotta get better questions than these.

 

[sampollock]

Pounder time now

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Martone sounds like he just went 4 rounds with Kenzie and then did a 5k run

I'm also watching the Sens-Stars game and I'm not impressed by Dallas. They really suck tonight. A lot of giveaways and they look slow
