I wasn't that high on Timmins before this tournament but holy crap.
Hopefully this confidence carries over to OHL for Timmins.
Bobby Mac saying he thinks Timmins should have been the player of the game for Canada, and defenseman of the tournament from O'Neil.
Same here, did really know much about him and watching in the Canada-Russia series didn't see much from him other then an ok prospect but after this tourney he is clearly top level talentI wasn't that high on Timmins before this tournament but holy crap.
So who was better: Makar, Timmins, or Chabot from last year?
It's important to remember there are lots of great WJC players that never amount to anything in the NHL. I'm very happy with their strong showing but I hope we don't overhype these kids now.
He was already having a terrific season there before this. He's a real gem. My biggest concern with him was that his meteoric rise from "not even worth a 7th" to "maybe first rounder" was just an unsustainable streak of good play. Nice to learn that he was only just getting warmed up.Hopefully this confidence carries over to OHL for Timmins.
Cant' wait for the Sportsnet article "Millennials are killing the Champagne/Cigar Celebration market". The lengths people go to complain about something is hilarious. Shame on these kids for texting friends/family back and not getting stupidly underaged drunk in front of the Sportsnet/TSN cameras. I remember back in 2010 when the Canadian Women's Olympic team got in trouble because some of the U20 players on that team were drinking during the celebration. Now we're supposed to be upset a whole team of U20 players isn't getting stupid drunk in a city where the drinking age is 21? Whatever.
