Prospect Info: Sharks at the 2025 World Juniors (Dickinson, Svoboda, Halttunen, Kirsch)

[Grinner]

Geezers! The over dramatics is getting overboard. Relax people. They're kids.

 

[The Nemesis]

Seeing Sam Dickinson on the world stage makes me nervous about the Sharks D future. He is still young so there is that, but his decision making must be better if he wants to have a long career in the NHL.

Not letting him off the hook because this has always been the biggest concern with him. But I get the feeling that the way he's been handled in this tournament has rattled him.

No kidding right. Dickinson is the second youngest defenceman on the roster besides Schaefer, is having an unreal season and after a rough few games suddenly he has zero potential to become a #1 dman and is destined to become Henry Thrun…In other words, typical HFBoards.

 

[matt trick]

Dickinson a more offensive Thrun? He has no IQ in all the games I've seen from him.

Watch them each skate the puck out of the zone once, and you should see a significant difference.

Rough game (though last shift was solid), but he and Thrun are almost nothing alike.

 

[The Nemesis]

I have no idea if the NHL network airs the same commercials that TSN is using (given the earlier discussion of the woodworking Bedard commercial is for CIBC) but that Esso commercial with the little girls in the car is so unrealistic.

there's no way that kid has memorized her mom's phone number given that we're in the era of everyone having cell phones with programmed contact info.

I haven't memorized a phone number since like 2001.

At the prospect scrimmage (bad example, I know) I think Dickinson went like 0/8 on zone entries and defensively looks very similar to Thrun. He stands still a lot and gets walked often because of it.

Definitely more offensively skilled, but I've seen people calling him a TWD when he seems to be more OFD, and his style of offense will not easily translate well in the NHL. Not hating at all since he's so young, but he will absolutely have to change his game if he's gonna be even half of what many on here expect. Seems to also have that Vlasic personality in him

 

[The Nemesis]

The fact that Brayden Yager has apparently declared that his name is to be pronounced like "Jagr" instead of like "Yeager" is confusing the hell out of me in this game featuring the Czechs.

 

[The Nemesis]

This was a much better shift for Dickinson. Making things happen.

 

[Munnyro]

I haven't watched Dickenson in juniors. Is this how he normally is?

It feels like he was given a flow chart on what to do. His best feature is his skating and it's like he has been banned from skating with the puck.

 

[The Nemesis]

I have heard more Wheatus in the Airbnb commercial airing this tournament than I ever heard when Wheatus was actually a thing.

Ok abe simpson.

Come on. It's not like I had an onion tied to my belt, even if it was the style at the time.

 

[one2gamble]

Seems like Canada maybe should have practiced

No. Not this year at least. This is Cameron telling him not to be Sam

 

[The Nemesis]

lol, wtf was that dumb drop pass, Cowan?

How much does 5 bees get you?

a tank of gas for my car, which gets 5 rods to the hogshead.

 

[The Nemesis]

what the heck is this ref's accent? He sounds like he should be playing the meathead bully in a bawdy teen sex comedy.

 

[The Nemesis]

Lol Cameron.

How many hectares on a single tank of kerosene?

 

[matt trick]

That's a questionable challenge...

 

[Barrie22]

Cameron showing his confidence in his system to not score another goal.

 

[The Nemesis]

How many hectares on a single tank of kerosene?

that depends on whether or not I put it in "H".

Time to neuter mckenna by putting him with cowan

I got my THN World Junior preview issue today, way too late, of course (thanks, Canada Post!) and there's whole feature on Cowan and how great he is.
