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

[arttk]

Refs getting booed in a prospect game is something

 

[Phrasing]

A team that was having a good year after pretty 10 - 12 bad years should not be shooting for the stars. The only trade of a 1st rounder by the Canucks that worked out better than I expected was JTM.


Yeah, he seems to have more talent than expected ... if he ever gets some real snarl he has a shot.

To me I see a player who is very disruptive and is very noticeable but has very little finishing or playmaking capabilities.

 

[ephmrl]

I kind of keep forgetting we drafted Riley Patterson in the 3rd round this year

Doesn't look bad but doesn't look particularly talented either

Looks better than 2nd round pick Klimovich. So that's something, I guess.

 

[logan5]

That kid's gonna OG!

I don't really put any stock on the players left in the system that Benning brought in....

Silovs notwithstanding

 

[Tables of Stats]

Alriksson with a nice move to bring the game to 4 - 2.

 

[arttk]

Alrikisson looking good

 

[cc]

Damn. Alriksson a stand out. He looks like he can maybe play in the AhL this season which would be a meteoric improvement

 

[docbenton]

Alriksson's probably been our best player this game, skating well, physical and driving play by imposing his will and showing some good skill and hockey sense. Nice goal.

 

[LemonSauceD]

If Alriksson can break out in the OHL this season, that would be immense for his development.

 

[Canucks LB]

Alriksson has been a standout

He is going back to juniors no?

Alriksson showing some stuff in this tournament. Moving up the prospect chart with near every shift.

Alcos is playing very well giving his age. Pleasant surprise

I wouldn’t use this tournament to decide prospect chart rankings.

Yes. I think so. He's still only 19 and didn't have a particularly good season in his first junior year

4th round I think

 

[ephmrl]

Alriksson is the best prospect in the Canucks system. I will not be taking any questions.

 

[Blue and Green]

Still can’t tell who is who

From our viewing perspective: Daniel left, Henrik right.

I hate it

 

[JumpierPegasus]

4th round I think

Right, Fernstrom was the 3rd round

 

[LemonSauceD]

I wouldn’t use this tournament to decide prospect chart rankings.

Why not?

 

[docbenton]

Other thoughts:
Bains is the weak link on the top line, Raty's been excellent and probably the best player on that line tonight. Mynio's been pretty disappointing this game, hopefully just recovering from being sick, but looked weak and not great gaps in this one. Klimovich a better game tonight. Pettersson again just blah despite scoring on a random point shot. Kudryavtsev again the best defenseman. Overall good speed and forechecking throughout the lineup.

Agreed. I've been pleasantly surprised with how solid he's looked so far.

Small sample size but still, encouraging.

 

[WTG]

Yes. I think so. He's still only 19 and didn't have a particularly good season in his first junior year

@ihaveyuidonttouchme did mention he seemed to pass the eye test whenever he watched him.

It annoys me that while the Canucks spent a lot of time on special teams in practice, the refs opt to not make one call for them despite plenty of chances to do so
