Game on

Guessing a close 1 or 2 goal game against the suisse, good team for us to play to get ready for real games

Formenton is so fast. Everything he does out there is at top speed. Love it.

Is this game televised

Formenton is going to get so many breakaways in his career....

Ryan scored on one against the Habs after picking Drouins pocket. Thompson had a shorthanded one the other night against Tbay I think.

I missed the t bay one. The Ryan one was a semi

Finding it difficult to see how some rank Batherson ahead of Formenton.

Batherson's size and skill make him really enticing. He was tearing it up in the Q before his hand injury for a reason.

I love both of them and actually think they'd work well on a line together.

Bath primary assist.

All true and their only 19 alot can change between now and time in NHL.

And Batherson scores.

What I do really like about Drake is that because of his late growth spurt, he still has that motor that is typical of a smaller player, but he's 6'2. Skill-wise, I think he's better suited to be a 2C than White, but we shall see.

Batherson 1g 1 a sharing ice with Steenbergen ..(12/13 forwards)

White led the USA (Gold) in goals at the WJC last year. Batherson will need to get faster to be a 2C.. He is still developing so we will see. He has a very good skill set.

Lazar had 5 goals in the '15 WJC, and nobody would call him a 2C. Not that I think White will pan out like Lazar, just saying. I'd love nothing more than to see Brown-White-Batherson up the middle in a few years.

 

[Jarey Curry]

Hows the score in Fin vs Cze?

Me too
Although I like the extra size

I don't think it's crazy to think that batherson has more offensive skills than formenton

So what was the score and who got points?
All I've read is the shots 61-7

It was alot more lopsided than i expected, usually games against the swiss are much closer. Final score 8-1. Makar and Dube had their first games and played very well. Team looks fairly strong but am worried we haven't played anyone really good yet.

Dube had 2 goals and an assist, Batherson a nice tip in and assist, swiss only goal was a real fluke.
