Prospect Info: 2022 World Junior Championship

[Leonardo87]

This game feels like District 5 facing the Hawks before they became The Mighty Ducks.

 

[Trojans86]

Anyone care to share their thoughts on the notable team canada players?

 

[Mr Rogers]

The fact that Austria is even at the WJC is pretty impressive. A landlocked mountain nation of 9 mil

Perfetti, McTavish, Power, Bedard have been the standouts.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Austria looks dead... and I don't blame them.

Apparently, the spread was 9.5, so Austria covered! Thats something.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Now it appears that Czechia will have to forfeit their game today against Finland

I've been really impressed with McTavish's ability to pass the puck in this tournament.

I've been really impressed with McTavish's ability to pass the puck in this tournament.

As have I. His passing and his strength compared to his peers have really stood out.

As for Zellweger, his skating is phenomenal and he has a nice snap shot but in the limited time I've seen him I'm questioning his defensive awareness and decision making.

I've been really impressed with McTavish's ability to pass the puck in this tournament.

Yep, he’s thrown some saucer passes over sticks that have made me say out loud “I didn’t know he could do that”

Agreed. He had some misses where he would hit them if he had Zegras magic
But overall he is doing a good job with the passes.

Last night where he hit the post (that shot was ridiculous btw, the puck hit the post before goalie even moved), he had a clear lane to Guhle for possibly a better chance but he passed on that. Which is fine, shooters mentality is nothing to be ashamed about, as long as you can do it with confidence.

 

[Henrique Iglesias]

When Bob was talking about McTavish "driving the bus" at the U18s I can see why. He's strong, confident, and plays with focus and a competitive fire. I didn't like the pick when we made it but I am happily eating my words.

 

[Static]

I don't see how this tournament continues.

As are Switzerland and Slovakia and they're even smaller.

I think Switzerland is more of an exception than the norm. Slovakia has more of a hockey culture from when it was united with Czech Republic

Bob McKenzie has confirmed that the tournament is cancelled.

Ugh.

 

[Kalv]

Oh my

 

[bsu]

Wow lol that frees up my week.

 

[Leonardo87]

Wow lol that frees up my week.

Well, there is a Ducks game tonight and Friday.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Can’t really have a tournament with 3 teams testing positive and games getting cancelled as tightly as the games are scheduled.

 

[bsu]

Why no bubble.... Why a hotel with regular ppl in it in the same floor...I've seen beer league tournaments ran smoother.

 

[Leonardo87]

Not too upset, NHL is back and with new protocols and taxi squads back should not see as many postponements.

Was nice seeing McTavish dominate but I already have him making the team next season, just hope he can continue to develop in the OHL for this year, and be a difference maker for Anaheim next season like Zegras is now.

 

[jiggsawpuzzle35]

The Canadian Government and the IIHF are a bunch of joke with their stupid protocols.
