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

[The Nemesis]

Slovaks with a 5 minute PP for a kneeing major. This is their chance if they're going to have one.

EDIT: that's one.

 

[The Nemesis]

Welp, they only got one and it's 4-1 with the 2nd period winding down. Fins are in a strong position going into the 3rd.

Halttunen is such a weapon on the PP. Even if he doesn’t score his shot has to be respected and will open up so much space for the rest of the PP to operate.

I was at opening night for the Cuda and it was amazing how much the PK overplayed Halttunen in his first ever AHL game.

Even as a 4th line PP specialist he will have a good amount of utility to the big club.

A goalie mid shift line change, see something new every year.

Why am i even spending time watching this canada team. My god they are awful

 

[fasterthanlight]

Canada: lol

 

[Juxtaposer]

There's some kind of brainrot on this Canadian team. Truly stupid play to knee on knee a guy like that.

 

[Munnyro]

Every analyst on Team Canada: Avoid the penalties.
How about a kneeing major?

 

[Juxtaposer]

God f***ing god Sam. What the f***.

I mean, with Dickinson vs. Buium, we are talking defensemen, so it's not exactly just about goals scored.

And seriously, do we really have to rehash the whole Michkov thing again? Especially as a Sharks fan, how do you not understand that situation and are blaming Grier for it?

Also, please try not to write posts that sound like Trump tweets. Thank you.

Matvei Michkov: I want to thank Mike Grier for secretly helping out the Philly Community for not picking me with the 4th pick in the 2023 NHL draft. We will be naming local holidays and a religion in his honor. As we should be reminded of this generous gift every time we think about Mike.

God f***ing god Sam. What the f***.

He will fit right in...

He's gonna be a good player but this is the sort of thing that makes it so obvious he's not #1D material. Just a totally braindead thing to do.

 

[vortexy]

Woof not a great period for Dickinson at all, his goalie has bailed him out twice now and obviously the own goal. Also a few bad plays on the play between him and Cowan on the PP that just killed plays

 

[Star Platinum]

Isn't Petr Sykora a little old for this tournament?

[Munnyro]

Canada has such an odd breakout.

Also, shame on those fans for booing the dude who got kneed.

 

[Barrie22]

2 goals for dickinson tonight

Oh I agree. I just had to poke some fun at it.

I've tried to catch several of his games this year. He is fun to watch, but as you said he will just make some plays that make you scratch your head.

Oh boy as I type this CZE score again. What is this Canadian team...

 

[Juxtaposer]

Figures, the one time Dickinson jumps in the defense breaks down.

That's not even a pinch, dude. He entered the zone on his own, lost the handle, and then the four other guys on the ice did nothing. McKenna looked horrible on that play.

Team of checkers must be always

 

[vortexy]

Dickinson with another turnover this time he gets burned on it. I think it might have been a tough pass from Mckenna that put him in a rough spot? But in that scenario he’s gotta just chip it in deep instead of just straight up turning it over at the offensive blue line sheesh

My gaffe, been a long day at work. Dickinson moved into the zone fumbled the puck which lead to the goal. Others were guilty as well, but Dickinson should have dumped the puck in deep.

I think a lot of it is how poorly this team was constructed. So many ill-fitting pieces playing out of their usual roles and they're all rattled and terrified to screw up which makes them make dumb mistakes or just not think.

Nobody looks comfortable and they're all clutching their sticks in a death grip.

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.

 

[Sharkz4Fun]

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