Brindley putting on a show.

 

[Magua]

Just like his comparison to Jeff Carter, only scores in blowouts.

Wonder how high he’ll end up going.

Wonder how high he’ll end up going.

Feels like he’ll go in the 20s but that is just a guess.

Apparently he used to be a defenseman which would explain some of his skillset and number. Rarely see D to Forward converts.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

2x for Cutter

 

[FLYguy3911]

Nice tic tac toe.

Feeling better about Gauthier being the highest pick for the next decade and the engine to the offense.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Cutter may have his 3rd. Cooley may have redirected it though

 

[deadhead]

Cutter may or may not turn out to be a 1C, but he's going to be a top 6 forward who scores a lot of goals.
You can do far worse at #5.

USA running their PP1 out in an 11-1 game. Jeez.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Nice way for Bedard to break all the records.

Better than Jeff Carter.

Kinda like Draisaitl, honestly.



The fanbase is obsessed with him already. It’s disgusting.

Bedard is like me on breakways in chel.

That Derek guy, at glance, is raving about how visibly good his passing is, and I don't know what tournament he's watching. I've seen every game. He's had assists, but they're mostly vanilla basic cycle plays and secondaries. The passing data also shows he's not really doing much there.

I’d probably point to his shot as something that has flashed at times if anything even taking out today’s game. He’s had some shots that have challenged goalies or beaten them without actually going in at times.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

That pass from Bedard may have been his best of the tournament, but didn't result in a goal.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Bedard is an alien

It's an eye test thing. His is just better than ours.

Good thing Torts is here to scare the boys into grinding out enough pointless wins to realistically keep them out of the running for him.

These same idiots pinning their hopes on a mid-range prospect like Gauthier probably turn up their nose at the idea of tanking for Bedard....a generational prospect that could actually alter the course of the franchise.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Would love to see an upset here.

Down by 1 I’ll take that. Break Bedard’s ankles.

That's exactly what theyre doing. They're incapable of seeing the big picture.

I feel like terrible goaltending is the only way for this to become an upset. Canada is just too talented for Slovakia to grind out 2-1 win.

Gajan has been solid during the tournament.

Canada is lost when it can’t play offense. If it continues to be officiated this way there is a possibility.
