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

[Mrb1p]

He’s not even Uber slow. When he reaches top speed, he can catch players on the backcheck or break away from a checker.

Yes but top speed is not important. Its stop and go acceleration and edgework that matter more IMO.

His stride has work to be done but he can reach effective hockey speed at this level. Otherwise Cameron wouldn’t be putting him out there in important situations. His back checking is OK. His forechecking is too passive. When he really wants to get somewhere, like on a breakaway, he finds a way to summon enough speed.

Sure, but I'm juniors he's skating around pylons... Not going to happen at the next level. It needs to improve ASAP.

Well, considering the significant improvements a cross the board he made in the past 12 months, might be a decent bet that he's mentally & emotionally ready to continue putting in the work & focus required to keep making progress... No?

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...healthy scratch...maybe his father is bothering the Finns as well...

 

[Schooner Guy]

Lambert a healthy scratch in the semi- final. Haha! Too funny! And some people talked about him being in their top 15. He would have been a DND for me.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's having a crap tournament, there's just no two ways about it. Playing like he's not giving a damn . At some point a coach has to send a message.

Roy with the highest TOI today:

Roy with the highest TOI today:

3rd game of the tourney with the highest TOI for him

Not enough though, we wish he crashed and bang and activated for no damn reason (The reason is that we can't evaluate hockey players).

I thought Kulich deserved to be one of the top 3, and I also thought Tichacek was the best dman. He saved Jiricek several times over the course of the tournament

 

[Schooner Guy]

Interesting that Kapanen’s been leaned on very heavily once the elimination games began. Pro style game. He has taken a beating on this forum but his coaches are certainly confident in him.

Hes a similar player to Mysak but he doesnt seem to have the same hustle and swagger.

I dont know why Timmins/whoever felt the need to pick Tuch, Mysak and Kapanen in the 2nd round of two consecutive drafts. Low upside picks.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Kapanen eavesdropping on the Swedes huddle during the 5-on-3 PP was pure comedy! It sure pissed off the Swedish bench.

Kapanen will be a key player for Finland in December. He’s been a go to guy in all situations tonight and in the QF.

I don’t mind the Tuch pick as he’s the type of player we don’t have much of in the system. Too bad his development stagnated this past season. Hopefully he bounces back this year.

They wanted Heineman but he was picked 4 spot ahead so they took Tuch.

 

[dinodebino]

Hes a very high IQ player and ya, hes slow and hes a spot picker/not physical. Kind of player that you dont really see and he ends up with 2 points.


Honestly Id take a meaningful hockey tournament every year at this time. Watching hockey sitting in the grass in a park or next to a camp fire ? Damn son.

In a pool with a corona? While sipping a slushie in a hamock?

Is Roy a Pierre Turgeon clone (position aside)? Uber high IQ, sweet mits but slow? And gets the points?

Cry some more

 

[salbutera]

Mysak reminds me more & more of Plekanec and his development curve every time I watch him - slow & steady trajectory

No flash just steady improvement

Toffoli is a perfect comparison IMO. Turgeon still has more skills than Roy, dont think Roy will ever come close to those arcade numbers lol. Also I wouldn't say Roy takes games off like Turgeon used to be accused of. He just reads the game a lot and hes not the best skater (explosive), so he seems extra slow.

Reading before posting helps.

Jeez Wallstedt is insane this game

Arguably the best goalie prospect not in the NHL right now. Better than Askarov and Cossa at the very least.

 

[Mrb1p]

Lmao typical Sweden vs Finland game. Finland grinded deez guys with sisu and Sweden was too fancy. This is comical.
