I really hope they change the Bennett line, it wasn't working at all last night.

 

[Taranis]

Like everyone really, I liked the Nick Paul, Gauthier and Chase line last night. That play in the third when Gauthier leveled a Czech as they were leaving their zone leading to a goal was fantastic. The other standout for me was Hadyn Fleury, just hard not to be totally impressed by his play whether it be on the rush or defending.

Too bad Poirier misses eligibility to play by only a couple weeks. Would have been nice to see him play with Klimchuk & Bennett!

Klimchuk - Bennett - Poirier

Fleury played amazing last night, thought he was the star of the show! I thought Ekblad played well, too. Morin looks to be hurt, unfortunately.

If only TC could make a pass though, they had some real trouble with that against the Czechs..

Got this from a recent TSN article.

Florida Panthers defence prospect Aaron Ekblad was absent at Wednesday's team practice. The 18-year-old left Tuesday's game after taking a hard hit at the Czech blue line in the third period. He was wobbly on his skates as he left the ice and did not return.

He will be re-evaluated on Wednesday but has been shelved for the remainder of the exhibition tournament, as both the Panthers and Hockey Canada want to play it safe.

"We know that he'll be re-evaluated (Wednesday)," Groulx told reporters after the game. "Obviously it's upper body, but I don't know any more right now. We'll know more tomorrow."

Is this at winsport?

 

[InfinityIggy]

Apparently Ekblad is concussed.

Apparently Ekblad is concussed.

Bust..

I didn't get to watch the game last night.. How did Bennett do? Did he stand out at all?

 

[Taranis]

They still don't have the player numbers up yet, but looks like Nick Ritchie is playing again according to the Team Canada website.

Edit: Rushan Rafikov is number 7.

 

[King In The North]

Klimchuk with a nice move to attack the net, a (somewhat) late hit in which he got laid out, and now I think he just got a pretty bad high stick to the face.

 

[Taranis]

Boy this game is getting pretty chippy.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Really hope Klimchuk is okay

 

[Taranis]

Klimchuks back.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

klimchuk so close!!

 

[Taranis]

Klimchuk came down the left side into the Russian zone and got the puck in on goal, scrum ensues, Klimchuk handles it for a second bringing it back out of the scrum and Horvat puts it home.

I didn't get to watch the game last night.. How did Bennett do? Did he stand out at all?

I didn't see a huge amount of the game but Bennett didn't get a lot of ice time, and when he was on he wasn't as impressive as one would hope.

 

[Taranis]

Really impressed with Fabri and Ritchie tonight. Good 5-2 win.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Canada plays Russia today, too. I'm guessing Team A is playing.


And please, cut Bigras, he is awful when he plays for TC.

 

[Taranis]

Interesting to see if Bennett's role changes at all tonight.

 

[Taranis]

Theodore, Dal Colle, Baptiste and Gregoire coming over from Group B for tonights game.

 

[Taranis]

Sam Bennett starts the game on the left wing with Reinhart.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Bennett looks a lot better this game

 

[Taranis]

Besides those two tripping penalties, yeah I agree,.
