Post-Game Talk: Canucks @ 2018 World Championships (Pettersson, Nilsson win GOLD!!!)

[mossey3535]

Great to hear Dipietro is really taking on the backup's role. That's what you have to do - absolutely kill it in practice and be ready in case you're called upon. The starters conserve their energy so they can't provide the extra shots for the forwards.

The chances of him playing are probably slim to none but it's all about attitude.

 

[mossey3535]

Ugh, McElhinney is Kuemper's backup?

Me not like.

Maybe Dipietro has a chance after all!

3-2 USA half way through the 2nd, Kemper's looking like a bad choice for Canada...

Watching the game v USA I could see it happening. Shots are 18-8 for Canada... - sigh -

Horvat with a assist on the first goal for Canada.

Damn Quinn Hughes looks unreal. He could step in and run the PP. I'm impressed

Yeah but height remember? HEIGHT

 

[petrishriekandgo]

Shots are 31-11 for Canada, the game is tied 3-3 going into the 3rd. Dick-riculous...

 

[Craz1bo1]

Canada's defense pinches way too much. Going to have to fix that if they want a chance to win, especially with their atrocious goaltending.

 

[PM]

They really couldn't find a better starting goaltender that Kuemper?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

The more I watch Hughes the more I feel like he won’t be available at 7th
So smooth on skate and tape to tape passes
Sees the ice so well

People who doubt him just because of his height needs to quit watching hockey

 

[Fire Benning]

Yeah, Hughes is good.

Wow great to read your review Billy i did have him lower but this type of tourney against such a high compy is great to hear for him. Started to appreciate all the top 5 d in this draft more in more

 

[Disappointed EP40]

Thanks for the thread; trying to figure the time zones hurt my lizard brain

You should tune in the game, legal stream or not, great time to catch some young players

 

[docbenton]

I remember that there were a significant number of people here who were incredulous that I thought Smith wasn't even close to Hughes in his own zone. It became obvious after the U18s that was true. Believe me when I say, neither is Dobson.

 

[Ryp37]

All hurt or still playing

or said no, hence Dipietro being the 3rd stringer.

Quinn Hughes is the real deal, there have been murmurs about him having attitude issues though haven't there? For an undersized player with skill, something like that can be a death knell for draft position (like falling perhaps from 4-5 to 7 )

Nice to see people are finally seeing what I have been seeing and why I was pissed when we won the final games, 10 years of hughes for me trumps sentimental sedin wins, as cold as that might sound all i care about is the future of this team.

I really hope he falls to us but if he looks this good against pro players I doubt many teams would be dumb enough to pass on him.

 

[Samzilla]

canada losing to the US in a shootout? what else is new. it's becoming a bad habit.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Excited to watch some Pettersson! We gonna see some dangles and snipes or what?

 

[pretzel]

Man, I hope Hughes is there at seven. He looked great today.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Actually
The match is too one sided
Kinda a boring game tbh

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

There’s some dangles. Now just need some snipes.

Happy Pettersson starts against a weak sister... needs to get his confidence up in a tourney like this. I'm sure he's nervous.
