I made one positive post about Horvat.
Bennett had a bad game. It's exhibition hockey in the summer.
No need to take it personally.
Now go out and enjoy the summer weather![/

Canada had a bad game.

And that's exactly my point. It's an exhibition game in the middle of summer, yet posters (like you) are calling for Bennett's head, and others are calling him a bust.

Who's overreacting?

I never called him a bust and I never called for his head. I said he had a bad game.
You've attacked every single poster who had anything negative to say about him.
You're taking it too personally. It's an exhibition game.
Anyways, that's my last response.

Who's overreacting?

1) I don't see where he called for Bennet's head

2) I didn't call him a bust. Like you said, he's still young.

Please stop stretching and twisting the truth. :help:

Don't be so mad that Comrie is so over-hyped by Jets fans like yourself. If he was amazing he would have made some saves regardless of the play of his teammates. His play just shows he is another average goalie prospect.

Evidence is this game and the first game.

Evidence of Comrie being overrated is two games in the middle of the summer, ignoring what he did during the actual season.:laugh:

Oh Primeytimey, your agenda is always good for a laugh.

Reading that Comrie should make it over Fucale on the Jets boards is always good for a laugh as well.

So...He missed 2 hits and accidentally caught a knee, which is dangerous to him as well, and he bumped a player after the whistle. The NHL should definitely ban him for fear of randomly sucker punching a guy.

:laugh: He didn't watch the videos, he read the sensationalized description and posted them.

Please tell me how he missed the check on Stajan, that was a viscous play. Okay I admit, the third video was quite a reach :laugh:

Either way, the better player that is dirty who is American, would be Dustin Brown. He was taking liberties in one of the games at the Olympics this year, forget which one though. Doesn't really matter though since they didn't medal.

This team left me underwhelmed. From this team only Mcdavid, Fabbri and petan should make the team. Sanhiem has a shot as all well. Bennett left alot to be desired. Wasn't impressed with his play these games. Looked good offensively but for pushed off the puck easily and made since bonehead plays and penalties. His d zone coverage wasn't good either. He has an outside shot, but his play in these games hurt his shot. Hell have to come back stronger and more mature in the CHL season to make it

Exactly this. Comrie singlehandedly dragged the Tri-City Americans into the playoffs and was the 2nd best goalie in the WHL last season. But please, tell us about how much his stats reflect his ability in a 2 game sample size.

I don't think anyone is denying that Brown is a dirty player... Except Kings fans who are convinced he's just dumb and falls a lot.

Every nation has their dirty players. If you haven't noticed, hockey players on the whole aren't very honorable people.

Out of any of our forwards, I was the least impressed with Brendan Perlini.

LOL.. :facepalm: Nurse was one of the best d man according to the coach and Cory Pronman liked his game as well.

Just those 3 guys?? If Fabbri and Petan make the team than Horvat sure as hell is going to make the team.

Because Backes knows that he can skate through most NHLers...Which is why he lays back to not try and kill someone. Blues fans see him do it a lot. The mistake wasn't the knee...It was not committing himself fully to the hit, and he clearly knew it.

Oh, and this has nothing to do with Canada vs. America, so you can try to demean my country somewhere else.

The season is a month and a half away. While it can't hurt to look good at this point, I would think the coming four months are much more important when it comes to winning a spot on the WJC teams.

Backes leaned in with his shoulder but Stajan moved and they went knee on knee. That wasn't Backes's intent. You can watch other players do it and they don't even attempt to make body contact
