That information was literally posted on the 2nd page of this thread.

Literally? Not figuratively? Metaphorically?

Yes literally, maybe if you spent more time reading instead of attempting to make funny posts and failing you would have seen it.

Perfetti.

Yup, and a half ago he was tearing the tournament up when it was ca

If you look at the top 3 rounds, i think we ha e 2-3 cdns... one of which is a Russian.

We used to be heavy into whl and have just completely abandoned if for whatever reason

To be fair outside of JoMo and Lowry we don't have a great hit rate from that league.

Too bad the Jets scouts gave forgotten that the tiny little country of Canada still produces some pretty good players. I hope Team Canada crushes all opposition, Jets prospects included.

Hehe

Like most people I was always heavily invested in Team Canada at the WJHC.
The one downside of the Jets coming back to Winnipeg/the NHL is that I have significantly lost interest in Team Canada. With the exception of the years where we had Jets on Canada (which isn't that often).
I still want Canada to win but I just don't care as much.
Similar to the abysmal World Cup concept that included Team North America.
With Scheifele, Helle and Trouba on the younger team I found myself cheering for them over Canada.

Go Canada Go (with less enthusiasm)

Good post

I think we are all on our individual journeys with this. I had this same experience with fantasy football. My fantasy team became my number one passion and my actual NFL team got bumped to the two hole.

When it comes to hockey I am now torn. HFBoards has really impacted my love of team Canada. I still like our team but the emergence of the group of Ugly, arrogant, loud, bully Canadian hockey fans is a group I love to watch lose. Maximum pain inflicted on that group is what they deserve.

As a group on the main board team Canada (it’s our game) fans are exactly what people despise about Leafs fans “as a group”. The difference being Leafs always fail so to me it’s a Shakespearean play, however Canada wins allot so it’s not humours it’s just ugly. We are Twitter (ok sorry that is a huge insult)

The good news is I am in rehab for my PTSD and haven’t visited the main boards during these tournaments for a few years.

Go team Canada Go but not the main board Canadian fans. Find another sport to ruin and move the f*** out of your parents basement before they die.

Hmm there's actually a stronger case to say that we should be drafting more Americans...
Tkachuk over Laine
Bellows and debrincat instead of Stanley - Thompson was still on the board too
Greenway instead of Harkins
Larkin instead of ehlers

 

[GaryPoppins]

Perfetti.

And before that? Comrie Morrissey Petan.

Our prospects haven’t been very involved in World Juniors team Canada. Not needed but would be nice to have our own prospects playing on the team.

Fyi Oreboro vs Helsinki is on now at the Spengler. Decent game so far. Vesalainen looking ok at this level.

Some of us don't have time to go back and read the entire thread. Anyway, I looked it up myself

My post wasn't designed to be funny (although somebody DID fond it amusing enough to warrant a laughy-emoji)

It was designed to point out your misuse of the work "literally" which is a pet peeve of mine.

ANYWAY, thanks for policing the thread. Maybe you should apply for mod status

Well at least Chaz Luscious scored!

Watching Lambert with his peers I don't see a lack of hockey sense or willingness to set up his teammates. He just looks like a greedy young player that always wants to have the puck. Which every young player has to get over at some point.

He just scored off a wicked shot just below the dot driving down the right wing.

I agree -
The speedsters always want the puck - Ehlers was similar when he broke into the league.
Learning curve for sure.

Which is interesting because he was much more willing to use his teammates in TC which is why he had a lot more success.

The one major difference is Nik was insanely productive in his draft and his draft +1 season. He put up over 100 points both years and was almost 2 points per game in his draft +1 season. I agree he liked the puck on his stick but he was way more creative and multi dimensional.

I remember thinking he was just trying to get rid of the puck as quick as possible in training camp. Might've been nerves or trying to do what he thought he needed to do to stick

Absolutely - I was responding only to the fact that they are both speedy and like to have the puck - and then jumping to the conclusion that the really fast guys like to have the puck.

I do think Ehlers learned to use his line mates more (better) as he progressed at the pro level - he did a lot of it on his own (successfully) prior to the NHL, as per your comments.

And there is no doubt that some are better at using that speed in achieving results - also to your point.

Lamberts big issue is he trys to play like Ehlers but doesn't have close to the same caliber hands as Nik.

When the Jets left I ended up doing NFL Fantasy Football. I evenly quickly became the commissioner of my league and devoted tons of time to it. When the Jets came back I lost almost all interest and stopped doing Fantasy Football within a couple of seasons.

Once the Jets were back I didn’t have time or energy for some of the stuff that had replaced them.

Wagner got a bit of 4 on 4 time playing net front.

 

[None]

Germany's PP has been strong. Tons of high quality chances that Sweden's penalty killers are just a step behind to prevent.

Wagner has gotten PK time in the pre-tournament and against Austria but I haven't seen him on the PK against Germany.

One thing is that IMO the US does a better job at early development compared to Canada. The USA Development Program and USHL does a better job working with the 16 and 17 y/o group to maximize development over the CHL. Less games and more focus on skill development. While I believe Canada has more high end talent, the guys that are drafted in the top 10, the US does a better job of preparing the next tier of players that go in the mid and late 1st round. So far the Jets have been very successful in drafting these players. Connor being the best example.

I can't argue the point but I'm inclined to disagree. The US is certainly catching up developing hockey players. But Canada is still developing more, better players. The US has numbers and might very soon surpass Canada, but they haven't yet.

Not denying that Jets have done well drafting American players mid to late in the 1st rd. Connor might skew the stats here. No way he should have been available where he was. Boston made that a weird draft. Maybe Roslovic evens that out a bit.

And it is not just about US vs Can. Jets have drafted a lot of euro players too.

It is probably coincidental to some extent but I wonder if it isn't also being driven by scouting. Where the scouting resources are being allocated and even which scouts have more influence on the draft list. Nothing deliberate, but an unintended built in bias.

Interesting to hear the trade offs other posters made.

After the Jets were sold and moved I didn't really watch the NHL for the 16 seasons they were gone. Once in a while I would tune in for a great series like Vancouver Chicago but I cut back over 95% and watched zero regular season content for 16 seasons. I substituted Premier League Football for the NHL and loved it. I took a few trips to England to watch games live and was all in. What I really liked about it is you could watch it Saturday morning over a cup of coffee then your days and nights were wide open. When the Jets came back it also coincided with me starting a family and that was my top priority. I cut way back on the CFL and NFL and I won't watch NFL now in the days unless my kids are in activities. CFL I still enjoy but won't watch it when I am with my kids which is most of the time.

I kept Fantasy football because I can do 90% of that at work and it doesn't interfere with family life or Jets life. I don't need to watch fantasy football.

Our goalie is awful.

Hope it is just a bad day.
