Prospect Info: 2024 WJC Preliminary Discussion

[bwanajamba]

Moore could have a few more points today if not for some great saves by the Latvian goalie. That line has been excellent.

This is honestly just a disgusting collection of talent that the US has up front this year.

Seamus Casey doesn’t get talked about enough. Offensive ceiling isn’t that far off of Hutsons and he’s a much better bet to not be a liability defensively at the nhl level

I've been pumping his tires for sure this year. He's dynamic and way more projectable than Hutson.

I don't have any concerns for him. I think the skating isn't elite elite and the size isn't either so that will probably hold him back from being like upper-echelon.

I think the skating is good, the shot is good, the hockey IQ is really good. I think he is definitely an NHL RD. Probably a PP2 type guy in NJ just because they have Hughes. But could run the PP on some other teams. I like him.

Canada losing is amazing, you love to see it. I don't really care who wins mainly rooting for the blackhawks players but it just rubs me the wrong way how many Canadian fans pencil them in to win gold every year before the tournament even starts. Most oddsmakers had them tied with Finland for 4th best odds to win gold this year and yet so many people acted like it was a forgone conclusion that they'd win.

Would've been nice if Nazar picked up a couple of points today but glad to see Moore is finally flashing.

Not sure I have seen any Canadians handing them the gold this year.

Stenberg is my new Barbashev. Talented two hundred foot third wheel that I really liked going into the draft that's gonna be a Blue for too long.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Didn't watch, but seems like Nazar had a quiet game. Moore the opposite.

Be nice if they both can end the tourney on a high note.

 

[bwanajamba]

Nazar had a few chances but definitely had his foot off the gas for much of the game. Wasn't on the PP at all so maybe he was under the weather or something.

 

[hawksfan50]

Nazar did get 1 breakaway late in 3rd period...but looked so lame as goalie easily stopped his deke move ...anyonecan pileup assistscwith talent on this USA squad...but to convince me Nazar will star for the Hawks,I want to be convinced he can finish and not just defer to other shooters..be not just a dishes who if not given finisher wingman by the Hawks can score by himself..

As I said no eve sure if hecpkayex with lesser tent than USA had hom with that hecwouldceven have 8 assists coming into this game...no assists or points this game.. so...yeah..very quiet.

Him and Ostlund my two favorites from Sweden.

Nazar was quiet. He still has had a great tournament. Great tournament. Like. GREAT. The tournament he needed to have.

Swedes carrying play but they're letting the Swiss hang around...

lmaoooooooo

Missed most of the game but finally going to tune in now. Stupid work.

lmaoooooooo

He was brutal considering he was force fed offensive opps

 

[Hawkaholic]

It was so strange that Minten was a huge part of the team. Should have been a depth forward, not a 1st line C/PP guy who wore the C.

 

[TLEH]

2-2

I think they ignored some 18 year olds in the WHL that could have helped this team. Even a guy like Firkus should have been a lock.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

And the Swiss team does what Swiss teams do. 2-2.

Leafs factor

 

[TLEH]

Swiss to the PP

 

[TLEH]

Refs have completely swallowed their whistles.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

They let everything go then call that good lord I'll never complain about NHL officiating again.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Free hockey. Swedes flopping lots making this a team hard to root for.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

lmaoooooooo

Minten is literally Canadian David Kampf. It reeks of Leafs intervention to put Minten in that spot.

 

[hawksfan50]

The Swiss guy did swing his stock at the Swedish player ...but missed then basically just touched him with his hand.. Therevus no way thatvis any sort of penalty.. They shouldhave called it back off upon video review.. phantom slashing is nota penalty.. Intent is not a penalty..By any hockey league rules..

 

[TLEH]

BRUTAL.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

That's such a brutal way to lose for the Swiss. Refs ruined a heroic effort by the Swiss.

As a Canadian, I never saw or heard anything from Canadian fans thinking that they were a shoe-in. Quite the opposite, most thought it was a weak year for Canada.
