Hmm, seems that the top goalies are all taller and, at best, he'll trend toward a backup or platoon goalie. We'll see how DeSmith does but he was 26 before he even entered the league. A little dissapointing.

I was so excited to see that the world juniors is in vancouver and victoria until i saw the price of a game its so stupid how expensive these tickets are
That's why I am only going to see the pre-tournament game in Langley. I just hope at least one of the Hughes or Madden plays. I'll record Canucks game.

I really put little stock on how Canadian goalies play at the WJC. I think the last time they played this tournament in VanCity, Justin Pogge was the 'can't miss goalie prospect' who backstopped Canada to the goalie medal.

And in one tournament, Marc Andre Fleury was the goat and vilified for some bad goals against the Americans, a tourney the Canadians lost. And the last time I looked, he has a Cup ring and is doing just fine in the NHL.

Any indication of who is going to start in net tomorrow? Finland should be a good test if DiPietro just had a bad game

Its just a showcase. Nobody should be making drafting decisions based on this small a sample size.

I plan on forking this into a new thread once we're out of exhibition and onto the main tournament, unless there is any vehement objection

The Fins are manhandling Canada so far, that Kakko guy looks pretty good. Dipietro looks pretty small in net.
