Prospect Info: 2020 World Junior Thread: McJesus Edition - McMichael (CAN) & Has (CZE)

[Langway]

Get your head out of your ass, Dale.

With Lafreniere & Hayton on the team, he may not need to.

He's put together a shutdown line, presumably to get his point across re: style/message, but they don't really need one. USA didn't load up yesterday and I struggle to see any dominant lines otherwise. Canada can demolish this tournament but they may just muck along a bit and win more closely. Maybe the long game shapes them into two-way form. They are in a very strong group but it's a short tournament and building deeper and more functional offensive cohesion seems like the better way to go. They've got the biggest game-breakers in this tournament and Dale can't fully f*** that up. But if they can be held down you never know with that sort of approach.

When’s the next games for both guys?

This music the rink plays every time a penalty is called is amazing.

[trick9]

Lauko out for the Czechs, Kupari for the Finns. Massive blows to their teams. Makes the road bit easier for Canada.

 

[Silky mitts]

 

[Langway]

Two assists for Has to go along with the goal.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Hugo Has potential.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Hugo Has potential.

Cool name too.

 

[Langway]

3-0 Russia. Play McMichael you cowards.

 

[John Price]

Ah he's not playing? No wonder they're losing.

 

[Langway]

Ah he's not playing? No wonder they're losing.

I'm not sure he had a single shift. (Edit: one shift, 48 seconds officially.) Risk bombing out while also alienating your best player in London? Brilliant.

Canada relied on taking over physically to beat the US. Can't really do that against Russia these days.

 

[John Price]

Puzzling why they wouldn't play him more. His junior hockey coach is coaching this team.

 

[Langway]

Lafreniere hurt. Couldn't possibly be going any worse for Canada.

 

[ovikovy817]

Maybe with Laf's injury, CMM will play now

 

[Langway]

Looks like he's playing with Hayton & Dudas.

 

[tenken00]

Wow. Haven't see Canada play at all until now. They look horrible.

 

[Langway]

It's a massacre.

Hunter and short tournaments seem like a bad mix. It's his first WJC and it's showing. He coached at the Ivan Hlinka once but those Canadian teams are stacked.

 

[tenken00]

I just want one McMichael goal out of all this.

 

[Corby78]

6-0? What is happening? Dale is not going to be liked up north after this

 

[Silky mitts]

Wow. Haven't see Canada play at all until now. They look horrible.

This is a much more talented team than they had last year too

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Doh! Canada!

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Dale has that same stupid face he had when he put Ovie on the 4th line

[CapitalsCupReality]

Just missing the Huntsie “so bad” gif....
