GDT: Pre-tournament • Dec. 19 • Canada vs. Finland

[tmlmatus]

Was at the game, first time seeing Dubois play Hockey.

He gives you the feeling he's this year's Virtanen, just didn't think at all this game

The small crowd was pretty much wondering what was up with him, and laughing at points.

Ay,ay,ay...Columbus, what a horrible pick. Looks like a third rounder, not a third overall.

Although I do agree he shouldn't have been drafted that high but what you're saying ridiculous.

You're basing this on a pre-tournament game.

 

[jj cale]

encouraging...but it is just a warm-up.

Jost is a beauty.

love the jerseys... and I hope tic-tac-tao is back.

They don't work for me, i think they could do so much better.

But it's all a personal thing

 

[jj cale]

I was, obviously, jesting. I acknowledge though that it can also be read as a seriously given legitimate stupid opinion.

We can't assume that. a couple of your boys were in the finland roster thread saying the same thing and they were serious.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Watching Jost play really makes me angry he didn't fall one more pick to NJ.

Good fwds:

- Raddysh
- Joseph
- Jost
- Barzal

Bad Fwds:

- Dubois
- Strome


Good D:

- Chabot
- Lauzon
- Myers

Bad D:

- Bean had a rough time
- Juulsen 1st pass + offensive instincts.


Good performance all-around. Even my 4-5 bads are closer to neutral than Bad. Only Bean had a very tough game.

You know, I almost did explicitly admit that there's probs little benefit of the doubt to be given to a guy with my flag posting about Laine (among the other two), but I still didn't quite expect that.

Of course, I did myself ask around the pre-season time if we can expect the higher-profile U20s to attend and was told 'no', among other words, so I've gotten to prepare myself.

Have to say though, it's unsportsy to not go defend a championship.

If Finland wants their players for this tournament then it's only fair Canada gets McDavid

Isles fan wondering how Barzal looked? Thanks

I thought he was CA's most dominant forward

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

He deserved a top 10 IMO. I wanted him to fall to the Sens as well.

I can only imagine the games we would have gotten this year had it been a lockout year.

The eligible talent available for some teams is really high, we would have gotten some absolute classic games.

Loathe the Canada jerseys. Way too much black and no contrast at all. There's no reason that Canada's white uniform should have way more black than red.

As a Flyer fan, I think it fell just fine the way it went.

You, my brother and a friend of mine now deceased are the only guys I have ever known in my life who were flyers fans from Nova Scotia.

You're an exclusive club down there.

Its too bad we didn't have a fashion subsection in all GDTs

 

[Ezekial]

Yep Tyson Jost is a stud and I was major bummed when the avalanche got him

Jost is my favourite player on this team, loved his play at the U18s as well. Good, high character kid.

He'll have another year if he stays in school, our captain in 2018 if he's back.

We should, the guys/gals we have designing our jerseys rarely seem to get it right.

I don't know why anyone would like those ones used last night.................too much ****in black. An overload of black when your flag doesn't even contain the colour makes no sense to me.

Don't count on it.

Don't count on it.

You never know with these NCAA guys, but yeah, he's likely NHL ready next year. What a player, I would have taken him over Keller and Nylander.

I've known two in my life.

Want to see more of Keller this tournament before making this call, I have seen very little of him but looked super talented.

 

[jj cale]

I've known two in my life.

There ain't many of them. They are a curious/strange bunch. They picked up some fans during the broad street bully days.

But my brother also thinks Captain Beefhearts trout mask replica is the greatest album of all time so that should tell you something.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Isles fan wondering how Barzal looked? Thanks

I thought he looked like a prime Claude Giroux out there, at least relative to the competition

 

[snipes]

Oh for sure, Keller is super talented can't go wrong with either, more personal preference.

Should be good to see these two head to head, both are dynamic talented players. Can't wait for New Year Eve

Always my favorite hockey of the year.
