Prospect Info: WJC 2022 part 2: Picking Back Up In August

[BenchBrawl]

People are under the impression that "moving your feet" is equally easy for everyone to do. For some frame/posture/body type, it takes more energy and effort to do because of the body's relationship with gravity, so they look lazy even when they're not.

 

[Habricot]

Its like Im reading you talk about Suzuki all over again. We get it, you dont like when players are passive and use their IQs first.

Good chance we did not draft Wrigth!

Mysak vs. Roy (and maybe Kidney) @ 6PM ET today

I’m rooting for Mysak to shut down Bedard and for Roy to take over

Inb4 Roy just produced because he got the easy matchups

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Who cares if Roy was taken off Bedard/McTavish line? Geezus ... both are talented puck hogs. It's a duo. Wasting Roy's own puck possession skills on that line.

Even more than power skating, he needs work on startups. It's really important in NHL to have quick feet. He's still a solid top 6 forward prospect.

Hopefully he's given a quality in-season training regiment to allow him to work on his issues. I want to see improvement in his skating by end of season.

Sheesh

Caufield-esque snipe

How much improvement can be had on startups? Is that not a function of an individual’s attributes like fast twitch muscles, reflexes, natural speed? I suspect some things are what they are and can’t be significantly improved upon but I’m not sure if it’s the case for startups and quicker feet.

IDK, but if he could stop skating upright it would be a start. Doesn’t seem very aerodynamic.

His position can certainly be worked on.

Paging Adam Nicholas.

I agree, that line just needs some crash and bang forchecker to go retrieve the puck for them and go to the front of the net. Roy was basically doing that but he’s way more effective as the scoring threat on a line

 

[Adam Michaels]

Kidney a scratch.

Roy with Greig & Dufour

 

[WeThreeKings]

Don't know why they keep using Forester

 

[Adam Michaels]

TSN pregame praising Mysak and Roy.

Regarding Roy specifically saying he looked more comfortable on a line with Dufour. And that Dave Cameron liked what he saw when they were together.

Garand gets the start.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Mysak wagon lfg

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Don't know why they keep using Forester

Because he’s bigger and stronger than Kidney. The path to victory for this version of Team Canada is through tough physical play. We don’t have the most skillful team at this tournament. Forester’s insertion is consistent with this approach.

 

[Xss]

Ivan Ivan !! I forget about him. What a name !

 

[Adam Michaels]

Sherbrooke teammates Roy and Spacek battling in front the net on that shift.

 

[Team_Spirit]

A bad penalty to take as Mysak line just built some momentum in Canada's zone.

5min PP Canada

That's a shortie for CZE,
