At this point, lets trade up for Tkachuk.
Domi-Strome-Duclair
Rieder-Dvorak-Tkachuk
Now that's a bona-fide Top 6
^ pretty much came here to post this. I want Tkachuk now. He is a very dynamic player especially for his size. Had some slick stickhandles throughout the game including on the GWG. It may take a few years but he's going to be a great player in this league.
Just finished watching the whole game on delay... did anyone else notice when the Knights posed for a picture with the Cup on the boards with a bunch of their fans in the background someone was wearing one of those awful chinese knockoff coyotes jerseys haha? i got a good laugh out of that one
Dvorak was pretty dominant though, he put the team on his back in the late third period. Scored to tie it but also had some very nice moves to cut through the defense and almost score while diving, that was a few minutes before he tied it. I cannot wait for him to be on our team.
Rouyn Noranda's goaltender was also incredible.
Juolevi did not really impress me that much, he seemed slow with his decision making sometimes and although positionally sound, he didn't do too much in the game.
They gave Marner the MVP award but i would've gone Dvorak. Leafs bias? lol. Dvo scored the game tying and game winning goals though, and his lob pass created the first goal that the Knights had scored by Tkachuk. Not to mention a stellar performance overall in the tournament. Marner was amazing at times too though. When he had the puck, the other team was kind of just watching. And he could have ended the game in the final minute of regulation but dinged one off the crossbar on a point blank chance. So no disrespect to Marner but I thought Dvo was slightly better.
