Post-Game Talk: Young Stars Classic Tournament | Canucks go 3-0 at Young Stars

[orcatown]

Our defense is looking weak.

Arnsten is awful. Lead footed and never getting to the puck quick enough to make a play free of traffic. At least he fougth someone

Hirose - think he should be dominant at this level and barely holding his own. Has he regressed?

Felton - like others weak around his net. Looks slow coming out of his zone

Kudryatsev (sp) - beaten wide badly and trouble with passes coming out of his zone

Pettersson only one providing much service to the forwards and keeping the play in front of him

Too bad McWard and Mynio out.

Lekkermaki looks sensational - maybe has chance to make the team.

Sasson a cut above here as well. I'd say better than Raty.

Klimo still plays with his head down.

Goaltender was also very good.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Draisaitl looks like a weirdo

 

[Wisp]

it's a prospect showcase so whatever but that third high danger chance from lekkerimaki where he cut through to the front of the net is exactly the sort of thing you want to see.

 

[alternate]

I liked Kirill's play that period, at least until he got beat wide at the end of the period.

 

[SiZ]

Sasson!!

 

[Wisp]

Maximum Sass.

 

[Jack Burton]

and Sasson pops one

 

[SiZ]

Sasson seems to get by his man every rush

 

[ephmrl]

Bains-Raty-Lekkerimaki are a class above everyone else at this tournament

Kudryavtsev and Sasson have also been noticeable.

 

[logan5]

How many shots does Lekk have so far. Seems like 6 or 7

 

[logan5]

ope. Let's see Lekk's one timer.

 

[Jack Burton]

PP time...lets see what they can do

 

[TruGr1t]

Sasson looks like he has NHL wheels, also looks like a 24 year old playing in a rookie tournament.

 

[Coffee]

Worst powerplay in the tournament

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Love hearing how good Lekkermaki's been. I doubt he makes the Canucks out of camp but the fact it may be a legit consideration is a fantastic place to be.

 

[Jack Burton]

well that PP sucked

 

[Wisp]

oooh, that defensive take away by Lekkerimaki.

 

[Coffee]

Shades of Pavel Datsyuk with that sneaky take away

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

classic arriksson's long stick/reach game

 

[SiZ]

Anyone know if Romani is heading to the AHL, or another year of junior?

 

[ephmrl]

Romani will have to put on a lot more strength, but you can certainly see the offensive smarts in his game

 

[Hooz]

Klimovich in that #18 Canucks jersey is giving me Jake flashbacks

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Orcatown touched on it but Hirose is a player who has totally lost the plot. Looks like an AHL/ECHL tweener.

I overrated him based on him looking decent in garbage time down the stretch in 2023. He just never developed.

 

[Josepho]

Anyone know if Romani is heading to the AHL, or another year of junior?

can't go to the ahl

 

[Coffee]

HOLY ! Our goalie just made a Ed Belfour type save
