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

[Weber Fan]

Kulich has 1st round potential…

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Didn't watch Czechia vs Germany game, but that's a huge win for Germany in OT. Took a break to eat dinner and walk my dog.

Looking forward to Slovakia vs Sweden.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Slafkovsky feeling it early.

 

[SOLR]

For sure. Nice to see Germany get the OT win. They could have easily tied or beat Finland yesterday if the bounces went their way.

Russia and Czechia are in rapid decline vs. Germany/Swiss, results after results show Germany is climbing their way in the world rankings (despite having no A-tier prospect this year). It's amazing to see and a big change in the very stable world of hockey.

I was looking at Russia vs. the Swiss and that game was way too close too for the Russians.

Bugl got buggled

This gets me laughing every time.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Another gorgeous feed by Slafkovsky.

Can't wait to see Slovakia against a not-top-tier team.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Servac Petrovsky doesn't get as much press as some of his countryman but I like him quite a bit for next draft. He's a good skater and he's got a lot of pace to his game. Pretty good hands as well.

 

[SOLR]

Dvorsky again in the right spot. The kid is going to be stunning with a bit more maturation.

Rosen with his best attempt at Raymond impersonation.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Slafkovsky is having an excellent period. When he's moving his feet he's a real force to be reckoned with.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Starting to think of Slafkovsky with Caufield.

 

[SOLR]

Slafkovsky is having an excellent period. When he's moving his feet he's a real force.

Svechnikov (Carolina) when he's on.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Nemek really is kinda sneaky scouting wise. You have to really pay attention to the little things he does to truly appreciate him. He's not all that ''showy''.

 

[SOLR]

Starting to think of Slafkovsky with Caufield.

If it was to optimize Caufield, Cooley is the solution. With someone like Tuch on the other wing.

 

[SOLR]

Nemek really is kinda sneaky scouting wise. You have to really pay attention to the little things he does to truly appreciate him. He's not all that ''showy''.

I think his movement spectrum is spectacular, if only he had a better vision.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I think his movement spectrum is spectacular, if only he had a better vision.

He's super smooth. A bit like Letang, he doesn't seem to be working hard at all yet he's everywhere on the ice in a hurry. The vision is a bit lacking though, he doesn't try to do a whole lot. He reads the ice really well on the other hand, he's always where he needs to be.

 

[Schooner Guy]

I was looking at Russia vs. the Swiss and that game was way too close too for the Russians.

Russia-Switzerland was the first game I missed as I was at the rink.

Dvorsky again in the right spot. The kid is going to be stunning with a bit more maturation.

Rosen with his best attempt at Raymond impersonation.

Dvorsky looking very strong. The 2023 top 5 will be epic.

 

[RandomTask26]

Starting to think of Slafkovsky with Caufield.

Me too! I’ve really liked Slafkovsky in this tournament, it’s rare for a guy that big to handle the puck like that, and he has good vision as well. I wouldn’t be upset at all if the Habs ended up drafting him

 

[SOLR]

FFS don't let Holtz shoot, his shot is like a flaming fireball of death. Wondering how Holtz will be able to handle Canada's 3rd-4th line however, no more physical advantage.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Strong period for Slovakia despite being down 1-0. They had the puck most of the period. Nemec needs to stay out of the box.

 

[Antiillafire]

Strong period for Slovakia despite being down 1-0. They had the puck most of the period. Nemec needs to stay out of the box.

Demek took both penalties. He’s a drafted player who is really useful when we have possession in the o zone and is a good specialty teams player but his weaker skating causes him to take some dumb penalties.

 

[WeThreeKings]

So far, whos helping their stock at the WJC:

Cooley
Slafkovsky
Mesar
Jiricek (played one period and showed a lot)
Nemec
Lambert

Hurting their stock/stagnating:
Wright
Kemell
Yurov

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

The TSN crew is really putting Slafkovsky over, with good reasons, he had a heck of a period. When the big guy gets moving he can control an entire shift by himself.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Demek took both penalties. He’s a drafted player who is really useful when we have possession in the o zone and is a good specialty teams player but his weaker skating causes him to take some dumb penalties.

Demek...yes! Oops! #19...not #17.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That was an excellent period by Slovakia. Both Slafkovsky and Nemec were outstanding. Both playing much better than they did in 1st game.

Petrovsky is going to climb fast after this performance. He was excellent against US and is playing just as well tonight. Plays in Owen Sound (OHL) has 20 points in 25 games.

Dvorsky is like a Slovakian Toews. Two-way force.
