Post-Game Talk: ★ Young Stars Tournament ☆ Game 1: Calgary 5 - Edmonton 2 FINAL

[Calculon]

So who stood out?

I thought our blueline was really good. With so much hype around the Oilers defense I thought the Flames looked to have a deeper blueline

Poirier and Sieloff looked pretty good in the third. Missed the first two periods.

Didn't seem like there was much chemistry between the Oilers defense pairings. Nurse and Klefbom together was especially bad.

It was Culkin saving the day I believe.

Semantics. Same thing really

Yeah but Ramage and Kanzig were doing some good things too

Ironic too since they are expected to share the same line when they both turn pro.


Good game by the Flames.

 

[MarkGio]

It was Culkin? Sweet!


I heard about his beauty on Brossoit. He's gonna turn some heads

 

[TheHudlinator]

To be honest I was impressed by almost everyone.

 

[herashak]

Oilers had a terrible offense. thats what happens when you draft for bottom six grinders instead of bpa

Even that pathetic Oilers team? Their best players looked like a Timbit squad!

So much for the BoA

Wooh!

There ain't no BoA when we're 16-4 on them in the past few seasons!

Ferland impressed me. MVW (I think it was MVW) has been vindicated.

Granlund was the most noticeable. Ferland had a solid game but didn't see much ice time(?). Correct me if I'm wrong but Wotherspoon had a quite night (or maybe that's a good thing). Monahan had some great positioning tonight.

The entire game is what the Battle of Alberta should be like: lot's of penalties and lot's of scrums after a frozen puck.

He was good but I would hope so he is 21 playing against mostly younger players.

It matters to Culkin since he scored an own goal on Brossoit.

 

[MarkGio]

It goes to show dead last finishes won't help you draft in later rounds. Hell, even their first round guys weren't the best players on the ice.

Haha, sorry; I was kidding around. Should've used a

The Oilers had some older guys out there too that were invisible.

Big fan of the play I saw from Granlund, Poirier, and to a lesser extent Reinhart. I also loved what Sieloff was doing in the third.

Didn't seem like there was much chemistry between the Oilers defense pairings. Nurse and Klefbom together was especially bad.

To be fair, they have really different styles of play.

Nurse has definitely got a lot of bulking up to do

 

[HighLifeMan]

Speaking of bulking up..there is absolutely no way that Hunter Shinkaruk weighs in at the 180 pounds he is listed at. I have been watching the Canucks/Sharks game and he looks extremely frail in his equipment. In saying that he does posses a very dynamic skillset though.

Horvat looks really strong for them. I like that pick for them.

Personally I think they're the two most skilled forwards at this tournament. If Vancouver didn't keep taking penalties, they could be winning this game.

 

[HighLifeMan]

You think Horvat is more skilled than the likes of Baertschi, Scheifele, Monahan, Petan etc..?

To me that's a stretch.
