[ChilliBilly]

Both of our prospects are looking good tonight

Seriously, who is this Costmar kid? Is he the next Janick Hansen? What a steal in the last round!

 

[lennor]

Costmar is a piece of poop with some skill. I like that. Great in the circle too. Could be a great find in the 7th as a bottom six centre.

 

[Deeds26]

Just being a pest out there and drawing a penalty. Love to see it.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

He's even annoying me as a Canucks fan. Haha. I can only imagine what he's like to opposing teams.

 

[Canucks LB]

The fact that he’s a seventh round pick and he’s playing like this is amazing

 

[Bgav]

The next great canucks rat?

 

[mathonwy]

Costmar has the crazy eyes.

 

[GetFocht]

Ok, Costmar has bite to his game that I never expected he would have. He's like Jarko Ruutu. That's an awesome pick for the seventh round, I really like how Canucks draft players that have an edge to their game.

 

[mathonwy]

COSTMAR NO!

 

[canuckking1]

Him and Podkolzin are gonna fight at Canucks camp one day.

 

[Didalee Hed]

What a...

“Cost”-ly penalty

 

[VanJack]

Who is this Costmar kid?.....a skilled center, but with some serious bite in his game.....looking like a young Alex Burrows out there.

 

[Bures Elbow]

Nice hand-eye for the goal, and a great shot off the crossbar in the dying minutes. Great in the circle and a good defensive centre.

What a steal of a pick. It would be excellent if he could lock down that 4th line centre position in a couple seasons once Beagle is finally off the roster.

 

[David71]

future selke shutdown center for years to come? bite to his game. hybrid of kesler/marchand

 

[VanJack]

Can you imagine if in the end, Costmar, Zlodeyev and maybe even Michaelis all turn out to be 'players'? Suddenly the center position, which was a black hole in the prospect pool, brightens considerably. And none of these guys drafted even in the top 100.

 

[Bubbles]

Sweden should have let him take the penalty shot!

 

[Canucks LB]

He is the best player for Sweden again.
Which is kind of silly now

 

[Breakers]

Only watching very casually this Sweden/USA

but I have heard Costmar’s name a few times in the background on scoring chances and big energy plays according to Ray.

good to hear.

 

[Deeds26]

Tournament is over for Costmar and the Swedes.
Solid showing from a 7th round pick in my eyes.

How did he look today? Did not get a chance to watch unfortunately.

I didn't watch much of the game, just the final couple of mins. Finns were the more dominate team
From what I know, he was not on the ice for the GWG by the Finns and was trusted on the face off dot to try and get the tying goal late.
Was also just named one of the Swedes top players in the Tournament

 

[canuckfan75]

the winning goal for Finland was 100% his fault. but he did win a award. but in true Canucks fashion when the pressure was on. he did not do it

I'm at work and couldn't watch closely but he was mentioned a fair few times as a player doing good things on the ice. Also, he was named a top 3 player on his team for the post-game awards. So my guess is that he was Sweden's best center again.

From the bench?

More like what the F was Broberg doing? I would be worried if i'm an Oiler fan he has been horrid defending junior level players
