Penticton YoungStars tournament (VAN/EDM/CGY/WPG)

Agreed.

Say, why not draft Ehlers or Nylander and just keep Kassian?

Virtanen has an upside. As did Kassian. We will see if Virtanen can actually reach it though.

Isn't there a Canuck that actually has some skill in this game?

 

[vanarchy]

Are these supposed to be the Canucks top prospects? Jeez they are very unimpressive.

Have you seen the D line up?

Kind of look like the Oilers squad this past decade. Unimpressive indeed.

I edited my post . Subban has looked good.

 

[Breakers]

Gaunce has the potential to be a nice 3rd liner.


Just has to be more consistent.

 

[Aceonfire*]

Laurikainen would have had that. No wonder the Oilers invited goalies. Bouchard isn't very good.

Nice goal by Gaunce. Showing McCann how to hit the net.

 

[bobbyt 91*]

Not much else as in getting the primary assist on Nurse's goal..

yup it was a generational PP blue line cross ice pass

Which really wasn't much, so he's got a point.
I agree with the poster you quoted, you can see how gifted McDavid is but so far it's been pretty meh from him.

Queue the comeback

Lowe and MacT were in charge. Did you expect it to be good?

sure he would.

We raise you Jim Benning.

That's arrogant. Oilers should of dominated this tourney for past 6 years but haven't..

 

[McAsuno]

sure he would.

Bouchard's actually terrible.

 

[Superpest]

Lowe and MacT were in charge. Did you expect it to be good?

Well with 7 top 10 picks in a row, yes, I do expect them to be good.

 

[Aceonfire*]

sure he would.

Enjoy the 1 goal against.

 

[UnrefinedCrude]

We raise you Jim Benning.

He's still got some work cut out for him if he wants to get to their level.

 

[NoRaise4Brackett]

Man, Nurse with a nice shot on net for a goal, and all you hear is about McDavid. That's just freaking sad.

better than hearing about Donovan McNabb again, at least McDavid has something to do with hockey

 

[McFlyingV]

Bouchard is so awful lol I was disappointed when they put him in.

McDavid's had some nice rushes, just looks a little rusty tonight on his finishing. Subban has looked good, as has Nurse and Laleggia. Overall though the plays pretty sloppy so I wouldn't put a lot of weight into some guys not looking amazing in this game.

 

[vanarchy]

Trust me, he has a plan.

 

[Superpest]

Pretty sure there was a curve on the pass. Bend it like McDavid Beckham

 

[tmurfin]

Principe has THEE biggest McHardon

 

[CanaFan]

Haha, refs rushing in to save McD from that noted bruiser and ex-Otter teammate, Brendan Gaunce...
