GDT: 2016 Memorial Cup Thread

Yes, really bad showing from the zebras ...

 

[PIMsCup]

Man...the Knights are good, but the Huskies are really bringing it hard. Fantastic game.

 

[shackattack]

Huskies had a decent goalie they could win it Man he has stunk so far

Rouyn as a great team, they are fast, gritty and the support to the puck carrier in the offensive zone is just amazing (how many time you see a guy coming one on one, not trying anything, just goin strait to the corner knowing they're gonna be 2 Huskies there against one player and will win the battle), but even if they have strong talent, they don't have difference maker like London. They need more scoring chance then London to score and they won't win a special team battle against London imho.

Would have like to see some adjustement on their PP last night. Clearly the 3 man high format didn't work. Those 3 guy high were almost always in a "tunnel" having no opening down low and high risk low reward pass at the blue line. They had strong entry to the zone, but just nothing after that. And how many time does one of the 3 man high was receiving the puck a little bit in front of him and did made a a complete 360 with the puck to "gain" possession throwing away the reason why you move the puck to non-danger area (making quick movement to open more dangereous lane). Everything was way too slow.

Hoping for a more typical game if they play each other again and not that 20+ PP special team show.

Big game for Jake tonight. No doubt he'll be confident after the last game, hopefully he'll be a difference maker

 

[reffree]

Not a good game for the Rebels 1st line, but the team played well and they deserved the win. In the lost I thought Clague had a really solid game.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

DeBrusk showing good bursts of speed tonight (again). Lauzon has been skating well and looking to lay the body every chance he gets but I don't think his game is yet where it was pre neck injury.

Marchand is a very good goalie. Even looking at him with his mask on, he looks very much like Brad.

doesn`t look like it to me either Colt and it`s not surprising. Kid missed all that time and returns for arguably the most intense 7-10 days of hockey. Asserted himself well though. I`m one who`s surprised how physical he`s playing, in the many times I`ve had the pleasure to watch him live (and a handful on TV) this is the most physical I have seen him, wonder if the coaching staff told him it`s a good way to get "into" the game?

He`s never been shy to take the body but he`s not been a guy who uses that as option 1 from the games I`ve watched him

Really excited about both kids, liked DeBrusk`s games in the tourney too after game 1 which, IMO, didn`t look great but was expected by this fan after he and his team hadn`t played for so long.

The longer this tournament goes on the more I've been thinking that Max Jones is going to be Boston's guy at 14.

He has looked really dangerous in the final thus far.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Also, I like Jacob Neveu (if you could get him mid round) as he has looked really solid.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Another ******** PowerPlay for the Knights on a perfectly legal (big) hit.

Seems like they get a PP every game on a joke of a call.

Haha Good call - if Fabbro is gone don't be surprised

I might just take him anyway


The Sharks in 25 years had to pick this year to screw up the Boston draft

It could be worse... the Rangers aren't picking until 80th overall

That would be a classic, big bad Bruins type of mistake. Pass on the talent, go for the snarl. He's not a bad player, but he's not a top 15 guy in this draft

I know but Marchand and Jones on same line would be must watch

The player needs to be a D logically

No kidding. They get Timo Meier (who looks like a real player) at 9th overall last year and then get to turn that around into a Cup final a year later with, basically, the same group of guys. Ridiculous.

 

[Scruffy]

2 quick goals. 1-1

 

[Colt.45Orr]

That was a legit tripping call but the Huskies have not had a single PP yet because the Knights are allowed to get away with all their set pick plays.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

The Huskies came to play tonight

 

[Colt.45Orr]

They look like the #1 ranked CHL team today for a reason. Knights lucky to escape this period.

I think the pick plays run both ways Colt.

I'll give you the first PP was on a bad call. The 2nd one was legit along with the third one. In fact, the second one in the NHL is an automatic match penalty.

 

[ODAAT]

haha, how did none of those shots go in?

 

[2011 Stanley cup]

Great , great game !!!

 

[BostonBob]

The player needs to be a D logically

I don't care who Sweeney picks up via trades or Free Agency this summer at least one of our 1st round picks needs to be a Defenseman.
