CNNSI: 11 Players To Watch

[5mn Major]

He plays at North Dakota. Big ice.

Toews and UND play on a NHL rink. They do have access to an olympic sized practice rink. I guess he would have some experience on the big sheet.

Kane is the name I was looking for.

No love for Carey Price ....

He'll prove him wrong .

I knew one of their rinks was international size. Wasn't sure if it was their main one (couldn't find confirmation either way). There are also other schools UND plays that have the big rinks.

No love for Carey Price ....

He'll prove him wrong .

It's not even sure, that he'll end up as his teams No. 1 goalie...

Once again, no love for Steve Downie. All what he does is come up huge at these types of tournaments. He helped shut down Phil Kessel and Evgeni Malkin last year. All what he did is score goals at critical points in the game. All what he did was get named as one of the best forwards of the tournament. Yet, he still isn't named as one of the players to watch. Is it just me or is there something not right with this picture?

Mark Staal is extremely overrated if you ask me.

 

[Geogaddi]

Mark Staal is extremely overrated if you ask me.

Um?

He was last year's WJC Best Defenseman of the Tourney.

But if thats Over-rated, then so be it.

He is. For now.

 

[MAF]

He is. For now.

I know, but it wasn't sure when the list was made.

Downie will dominate.

9. Tuukka Rask, G, Finland
(Boston Bruins)
Watching Andrew Raycroft struggle in the net of late has to be painful for fans of the Maple Leafs. But as they watch the WJC, it's only going to get worse.
Rask, the player Toronto sent to Boston in exchange for Raycroft, looks ready to emerge as the next great Finnish goaltender. At 19, he already ranks as one of the top stoppers in the SM-Liiga, and has the kind of off-the-charts ability that allows him to win games all by himself. That may come in handy. For the Finns to medal, Rask will have to be the tournament's top stopper.
=========================================



This will go down as JFJ's worst move ever.

With all of the bad moves JFJ has made, that's really saying something.

The kid is a complete A-Hole and that will hurt his NHL career. He strikes me as a Darcy Tucker with less talent.

He is? What do you base this upon?

We shall see.
