TSN: 2016 World Junior Championship Part 2: Last Prospect Standing to be bronzed

[Burrowsaurus]

Man. If only Ron Wilson did not say he didn't know the Russian players. Then maybe states would have won.

Nashville got a special one in Kamenev, I hate playing this game as I think Englund is going to be a gamer for us, but Kamenev looks like Artem Anisimov version 2.0

Damn, that was a quick goal by Russia to keep them up 1 on the Finns.

Go Finns Go

 

[Burrowsaurus]

The Finns got away with a few things leading up to that call

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Good game.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

wow crazy game.

Hopefully it ends in overtime

 

[dingbatz]

Holy ****. Go Fins!

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Man. Kasperi vs Jared. That's gonna be scary

 

[Back in Black]

Congrads to the host team Finns for a fine win at home! Nice O/T Win.

Man oh man, I'd be very tempted to take Laine 1st overall. He is special in every facet of the game. Can't remember the last time I saw a player with his combination of size, speed, vision, puck skills, shot and physicality. Every single aspect is outstanding.

I know Matthews is going first, but Laine is going to be an absolute monster.

With you on that one, I'd give my 2 nuts to have him on the Sens, could chop them myself... What a freaking beast!! The package of size speed and skills damn watch out once he's around 25 years old he's gonna be a tank.

I haven't watched Matthews play until this tournament. But judging solely on what I saw the past week, I am really hoping Laine somehow falls to us. Of course if he did, and thats a huge if, we would probably choose to trade the pick or go for a slower safer player who we believe will definitely be an nhl player at some point in the bottom 6.

Great job Finns!

Nothing like the host team winning. Good for them.

We will have to win the lottery. There is 0 chance he falls past 3, and whomever gets those top 3 picks will not be trading away Laine, Matthews or Puljujärvi.

Laine's going in the 2nd-5th overall range, likely top 3. Ottawa will need a second half letdown to end up with him. Of all the things to chirp Ottawa for, drafting isn't very high on that list. They would gladly take Laine, his talent is obvious to even internet scouts.

 

[Aurilius]

Well if we continue to slide into lottery position, at least we have a shot at those 3 to hope for.

All look NHL ready and could be huge boosts to the league with a little experience.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Obviously this tournament will be somewhat remembered in Canada for a horrible result, but it was a pretty special tournament. Finland is an amazing story and I feel like its akin to the Naslund Forsberg show from the past. We saw few young stars explode onto the scene from Finland (amd Sweden and the US and Russia). We'll be talking of this for years to come.

 

[Senscore]

Really could have used that McDavid guy.
