World U17 Challenge

Hmm, if they can get one more you never know.

don't like the odds though.

 

[William H Bonney]

In the Misa thread in the prospects section, I'll go check to be sure.

Someone you know well.

Rechecked, yes you are right.............not exactly saying he was the next Mcdavid but as you say, best draft eligible since Mdcavid and Matthews, close enough for me. Ad i'd highly disagree with that too.

IMO making any declaration like that 2+ months into a U17 season is a bit silly.

I've really liked that Pardue all game too, good player, a gamer.

 

[William H Bonney]

Canada getting some suspect calls this period. Gotta love junior hockey reffing.

 

[jj cale]

Cripes, so close twice. Well, P.P anyway.

0 for 3 so far, good time to connect.

Meat and potatoes guy who's a good fit for Hagens and Eiserman. Willing to do whatever.

There it is............3-2.

 

[William H Bonney]

That's one of the softest goals I've seen in a long time. Parsons is going to have nightmares about that one. No traffic. A shot basically right at him with no zip. And it went in clean lol

 

[jj cale]

And then we undo all the good with our own penalty, geez.

Good kill. Let's get back to work boys.

 

[William H Bonney]

I've liked Cristoforo a lot for Canada. If he grows a bit he could go quite high in the draft as an RHD.

 

[jj cale]

Eiserman kills us..........what an individual effort.

Great player.

 

[jj cale]

Well, they made a game of it anyway, didn't look good in the first period that they could do that. Would like to see these two teams play again.

 

[William H Bonney]

Didn't look like it'd be competitive after Wutzke was the only reason the US wasn't up by 4+ after 1. After that it was an even game, props to Canada Red for rebounding and making a game of it.

Eiserman was the best American by far. Also liked Emery, Rheaume-Mullen, Van Vliet.

Wutzke was the best Canadian. Also really liked Mrsic and Cristoforo. Catton was quiet beyond the break away goal on a gift turnover / missed penalty call. He's talented but good lord someone called him borderline generational if he grew a little and absolutely not.

Catton didn't do a damn thing this game really.

That ended up being a very nice game. Congrats Finland.

 

[ddlennon]

Decent game 3-1,helenius continues to generate constantly but no pts for him

 

[Goodman68]

I saw the last 5 minutes and read online. And it was enough for me to get a picture of the game. Unfortunately, we are behind in everything..

 

[Goodman68]

I looked at the last third and the Finns were clearly better individually, more skilful and faster. For me, the team is a big disappointment. It turns out that the tournament in Colorado is level b) and what was good there is not good enough here. With Zielinski and especially Galvas, the team would definitely be better, but overall the team is not enough for the rest..

it is very noticeable when our big players aren't on the ice. We just get crushed at 5 on 5. Our PP has looked good but it doesn't finish. We've had a lot of great chances but never finish them.

I'm guessing a few guys get drafted but I'm not, from this small sample, seeing a bumper crop of young Czechs unfortunately.

 

[PecnoTrunk]

Freaken Americans. Give Canada one team and months of playing together like the Americans. Canada should change their structure especially Quebec as they producing garbage players due to garbage system for these tournaments

 

[Czechboy]

Oilers followed by a powerhouse battle tonight!

 

[Czechboy]

Happy to be corrected.. is the format that when the round robin is done that 3 and 4 play for Bronze and 1 and 2 play for Gold. No brackets and the other 3 teams go home?

I've liked Cristoforo a lot for Canada. If he grows a bit he could go quite high in the draft as an RHD.

Windsor fans have been spoiled with his game already this season.

Already playing PP1 and Savard has been playing him in every situation so far this season. Speaks volumes as a 16 year old.

I said it at the time he was drafted 22nd overall - I was shocked he went that low. In a normal year that is a second round pick. Insane value for him At the time, and it continues to look even better over time.

 

[ddlennon]

Sterner seems like best swede everytime this swedish group plays against finland

 

[Lavar Ball]

Damn what's up with no Celebrini or Spence for Canada-Black
