GDT: Slovakia vs Latvia, WJC

[Nico Hischier]

I am surprised Dvorsky or Sykora did not get a shot here

Dvorsky did and missed

Dvorksy was in the shootout.

Dvorksy was in the shootout.

Wait, he was? Well, it's kinda late(about 4am in Finland) so that is my excuse.

 

[vildurson]

yey, we get to get destroyed in the Quarterfinals. I'm glad Sykora had a good game; I think he has a chance of making the nhl in some capacity.

He feels like good utility player who you can play anywhere in the lineup. He will probably not torch opponents but should be good tweener for second/third line, probably a good third liner in NHL.

 

[Antiillafire]

Luckily he still has an entire year to improve and hopefully show some progress in December.

To me his passing, shot and iq are all excellenct, even his 2 way game. He’s held back by his lack of intensity, he seems to coast around on the ice too often

I think we are seeing the same kind of player. I would like to add that I want to see ore physicality out of him. After all, he is 6'1 and has decent weight. He just does not seem to like playing around boards too much or throw his body around.

Needs to take some lessons from Sykora

 

[Nevins]

Dvorsky is good on face-off= 59.3

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Just finished watching this one, best game of the tournament so far.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Dvorsky was much better than the previous two games. Actually wanted the puck and won some battles. Better net drive. I still think I'd go Yager over him, haven't watched a lot of Fantilli yet.

 

[Elvs]

It's still beyond me how Kaslik went undrafted. He's showing a lot of poise in this tournament. I hope Zvolen will let him play top six minutes and use him on the power play, because he has all the tools to become a very good pro league level player.

 

[HamburgerSK]

It will be big surprise for me if Dvorsky stay in the top 15 of draft rankings after this tournament

Still too early to say. 17 year old players have usually poor records playing at WJC. Auston Matthews and David Pastrnak went 1+2 in 5 games and were far from dominating playing in better teams than Slovak one.

 

[Takurcitee]

I feel like dvorsky is slowed down by bad linemates and defensemen

Plus you need to consider that this is the postponed WJC where he is playing against guys who are 3 years older. December tournament will be much better indicator.

 

[Timeless Winter]

Why aren't the top 2 draft picks playing?

 

[Egresch]

Why aren't the top 2 draft picks playing?

Both are under NHL contract and clubs did not release them. Plus one more first round pick Mesar.
