Did not hear Yorks name once in the 1st? A healthy scratch or 7th d man? Thought he might be on the 2nd pp unit...but that team IS loaded. Might be a case of grooming him for next year...aka getting the feet wet. Betting injury gets him on the ice at some point.

Has Bobby Brinks skating improved or something? Not seeing the skating issues that were alluded to before the last draft. Kind of an odd choppy stride but not out of place speed wise. Almost another pp assist for Bobby but time had thankfully run out.

 

 Edit..another pp assist for Brink. Really impressed by his vision and hockey sense. He does have a slow first step when standing still on the half wall on the pp...but if he keeps his feet moving, no problems at all...and actually looked fast at times. Looking like a 2nd round steal...kid has a nose for the net and a nice passer.

It seems that LaCrosse style of placing goals getting more and more popular because it is hard to stop those goals. Probably, we will see them more in the future in NHL and other leagues too. And some day they will become a routine goals to watch. 😎

LA LA LA freniere!! Byfield and Drysdale kinda quiet in the first game but WOW did that kid look special!

 

 The heir to McDavids throne. He'll be the next generational talent coming through the NHL. Byfield will be a nice consolation prize in this draft.

 

I can't offhand remember Canada having 2- 17 year olds before.

You can kinda see the writing on the wall for Stevie Y's Red Wings. Should they continue to stink (and I cant see why they wouldn't...just keeping the defence and Howard/Bernier in place guarantees it) they will get a top 3 or 4 pick. This means the LOOONG wait for a star center is over Lafrenaire or Byfield) or the LOOOONG wait for a respectable goalie is over (Askarov, assuming he goes top 5 like some scouts theorize).

Really hard to even enjoy the 2 wins after that Russia mess. I got sick...for real ...and then slept 24 hrs I was so drained. Maybe it works out being good for them...to have their asses handed to them like that...but lessens the sting not one iota.

3 wins. 

 

I think if they get the chance, they may show up for the rematch.

I swear, the last time I felt this bad during this tourney, Carlson was gearing up for the top shelf rip of the decade! The play in recent games has given some hope though. Maybe the humbling helped out...we shall see.

Wow. Hard to believe the swelling in the knee is already gone and he can play on it. I guess it's been a couple of days eh?
