Didn’t notice Terrance much at all during the game which was disappointing. Warren impresses in his movement on the ice but he’s really lacking puck skills and is easily pressured to turn the puck over.

We will only have 2 guys playing regular minutes in this tournament.

Warren has struggled a bit in this first period. Had one nearly catastrophic turnover in his own zone, nearly putting a great scoring chance on a platter. Still led to lengthy zone time/pressure for Finland.
He's huge, mobile and engaged - but this is going to be a long term project getting him moving the puck at an acceptable rate for highest level. Maybe a different partner would help, as Furlong seems to be struggling to make plays himself - but early on I have concerns about whether Warren is ready to munch any significant minutes in this tourny. Seems to have a particular issue making plays when pucks end up in his feet, not uncommon for taller players.

Finland's PP goal to cut Canada's lead to 2-1. Warren a bit too indecisive

Much better second half of the game for Warren, minimized mistakes and was mostly unnoticeable in a good way. Made a nice play to escape on a breakout before connecting on a stretch pass that led to a great chance. Definitely makes himself miserable to play against below the goal line.

Dang, in the hospital. That really sucks and hopefully he is ok.
Probably hit with a major bug.. Sometimes when your stressed out.. a flu bug hits you harder..
If he got hit with a stomach flu after practicing/working out, the dehydration would be really bad and could definitely necessitate an IV.
Hope he recovers quickly!

EEK!
I’m sorry, how do you want him to play that? It’s clear they are trying to set up in a diamond formation

Last I saw he was in the Hospital at the world Jr's with some kind of illness.
Strbak looks so good. I wanted him with our 1st 2nd last year. Would have been a HUGE pickup as a RHD.
Buffalo has been golden at the draft the last like 5 years.

There were a bunch of players I wanted in the 2nd round, which included Strbak and Myatovic. Strbak was up higher on my list and Myatovic lower. I also had Haltunnen, Terrance, Nelson, and Clara in that bunch, iirc. I also had another defenseman in that bunch, but can't recall the name... he was another shutdown D.
Based on what Madded described about Myatovic was that he's an elite support guy for the top-6. Guess that means glue guy. We really can't say much about Myatovic b/c he's been injured for most of this season, playing in only 4 games.
Speaking of prospects doing well that we passed up, there's Snuggerud.

Putting a prediction on file, Norway beats Switzerland tomorrow morning.
Snuggerud was definitely who I had circled when we ended up picking Gauthier. But jury is still out until we see what they can become at the NHL level.
