Leo Lööf made the world junior team for Sweden.

Looks like he might be a good one

I hope so. Perunovich-Lööf down the left side in a few years is going to Hopefully be amazing. Just need Parayko to be Parayko again and Faulk to continue his good 2way play.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Lööf is gonna be the next Parayko. Just shorter.

That sucks. I was kinda hoping for someone that could play in space and pass puck out of zone with possession.

Idk any player who can play in space. The lack of gravity is a pretty big issue.

Then they need some Space Force training!

We've already gotten past the lack of oxygen being the major problem in space?

Can't be much worse than Denver, can it?

Excellent news. What's the count now on Blues in the tourney?

Sweden and Finland teams here

The 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship begins on December 26. The tournament is being held in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alberta.

UMass junior defenseman Matthew Kessel scored his 3rd goal of the season (6th point total), a laser slapshot from the left point during a Minutemen power play to tie their game 1-1 with the Merrimack College Warriors. Kessel is wearing one of the A's for the team this season.

Looks like a comment I would have made. Glad you beat me to it!

I liked the way he looked in The Traverse City Tournament. He looks like a pretty decent lower pairing NHL prospect, with reasonable hopes of making a career in The NHL. Nice to hear that he has a good shot. He certainly hustles, and seems like a hard worker that should take well to coaching. Let's hope he surprises us with a good level of development, quicker than we'd expect.

I think you're mixing Kessel up with someone else (Tucker?) as Kessel hasn't played at Traverse? Or is my brain having a meltdown at the moment? ;-)

He can’t play in the tournament unless he pays for everything himself. Lodging, accommodations, food. He will lose his eligibility.

He added another assist last night to his point total.
Bolduc put up a 3a night and was the 2nd star. He is really coming on over the last few games.

Good to know my brain isn't having a meltdown. ;-)

Although it's such a stupid rule that players lose eligibility. What's the harm in letting these NCAA kids play a tournament.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Bolduc had 3 assists in a 5-1 win.

Woooooow just an unreal play all around. Perron-esc with the steal and a beaut of a poke to get it to Rochette, and then the dangle around the defender. Hoping Bolduc is just a slow starter and will continue to rack up points from here on out.

Well, I saw Kessel play in a Blues' uniform. Maybe I was just remembering him playing in a Blues' preseason game or two???

He can’t play in any preseason games because he’s not even signed yet.

He was drafted while he already played a full season for UMass in the NCAA, which makes it really improbably he played for either the baby Blues or the regular Blues. Also Googled it and his name didn't pop-up. You're mixing him up with, I guess, either Tucker or Galloway.

No, I remember seeing Tucker as "Tucker". He's bigger, and looks very different from Kessel. I don't remember seeing Galloway play, unless he was on The Blues' Traverse City team, and didn't do much that was noticeable. I'm sure the latter didn't play in any Blues' preseason game. Maybe I just followed Kessel's progress on the Prospects Thread and saw highlight clips of a few of his NCAA games?

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Nice to see Tucker not scared to throw em

Tucker, Loof, Kessel and Galloway.

I need to make some time to watch the Hitmen.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Bolduc scored two goals (game winner and empty net) in a 5-2 win. He has 2 goals and 5 assists in his last 3 games.

Jake Neighbors officially on Team Canada roster.

 

[MortiestOfMortys]

I know it’s likely that Bolduc has been battling a lingering injury from the summer this year so far, but I can’t help but feel like we whiffed on Bourgault. He’s been dynamite this year
