Early leaders for WJC MVP?

Greenway

Keller or McAvoy for the US if they win. Maybe Greenway if he has another big game. I'd think Chabot for Canada.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Strome, Kaprizov, Greenway, Ek

Up to this point, it has been Chabot in my view. While he didn't have his best game against Sweden, he's eating a ton of minutes in Myers's absence and was a dominant force in the game against Czech Republic. Cirelli would be second on my list. After that, Roy has been consistent throughout, Gauthier has 4 goals in the last two games, and Stephens has been a force since returning from injury (he did miss two games, though). While the criticism that Barzal has received the last few games around his passing (or lack thereof) and decision-making has been warranted, he's been a dynamic offensive presence for us so far and has created a ton of scoring opportunities.

My take on Strome is that he's been really good on the PP, and average at ES. He had his best game last night, IMO. I expected much more from a #3OA, 19-year old returning player. He has an opportunity to change that impression tonight.

Agreed on Chabot, I think overall he has probably been our best guy, but Cirelli makes me pause and think for a moment or two. He's been very important to this team.

cool handle. I wonder how many people on this board know who jj cale is?

I think Chabot is the engine that drives Canada and I'd like to see him get it.

I agree ... Cirelli has been head and shoulders above Strome for one, but you can't go wrong with Chabot.

No, you can't.

Hmmm, my guess is probably not all that many.

Hischier.

 

[Killahpunk]

Kaprizov has to be one of the main contenders for MVP.

Chabot was fantastic in the tournament, very excited for this kid, happy he's a Senator.

 

[HansonBro]

Chabot played over 43 minutes tonight

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Well deserved. Im surprised he didn't shoot in the shootout.

...or strap the goalie pads on him at some point. The kid did everything! Good call on this award.

 

[ponder]

Well deserved, he was terrific. Also could have gone to Kaprizov, Keller or McAvoy, but I think Chabot was the right choice.

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Seems like the right choice.
