Dunno why the American coach has so much faith in York. The guy doesn't cover anyone in front of the net. Reminds of of rookie Karlsson before December.
Canada's been better defensively. USA dmen outside of sanderson have lost coverage a lot. USA top two forward lines are elite. Zegras looks like the best player in the tournament.
States are too stubborn to stop putting York out to defend.
Him and Kleven can play cards where the benches meet.Yup. Hes plastered to the bench.
York pisses me off so much, not sure how the hell he is the best dman. Every time he was on the ice Finland was killing them on the forecheck.
The original poster made a claim that some people seek instant gratification of popular names instead of trusting the scouts. The tone of the sentence implied that trusting the scouts was the superior option. I am curious if someone can actually explain why? Is there an old data set I can look at from prior years that shows that our picks are better than the instant gratification popular names? More generally, why should I trust the scouts at all? You just claimed that I have no reason to believe Bob McKenzie's scouts have strong predictive power, and his scouts are NHL scouts, so they belong to the same subset of scouts as our scouts.
I do not care about WJC performance. With that being said, on this board, I do see a lot of people saying "trust the scouts" or some variant, and I am wondering why I should do that? What is the evidence?
What a shot
Yep, 100%. Was selfishly hoping he’d hav a chance to redeem himself a bit but he certainly didn’t earn one.
It's funny how, for the most part, the players who have impressed this tournament are the ones who played in it last year.
Maybe the extra traffic on small ice confuses him?
