TSN: SENS @ the WJC. Tonight ~ Canada vs Czechia 6:30 pm, & USA vs Sweden @ 2:30pm

[Senovision]

Easy peasy.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Better than a shootout.

True...but still, 20 minute 5 on 5 OT would've been best.

Thankful we came out with the win. It was definitely a coin flip between the two teams. Hell, half a dozen highly competitive teams had the chance to win it all this year. Good to see.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Guenther by far the best player on the ice tonight. Incredible clutch performance.

They got the goal back from the canada game... that's why.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Really fun tournament. Lots of drama. Most entertaining hockey you can watch.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

How the f*** did the Habs draft this Joshua Roy kid in the fifth round???

 

[Senovision]

Good close game. Nice 2 on 1 passing to win the game.

 

[Senscore]

Guenther by far the best player on the ice tonight. Incredible clutch performance.

One single goddamn pick and he was ours.


Blah.

Sens prospects got one medal of each colour. They should make a group picture.

Ethan Del Mastro played a big role for Canada at the WJC
He has won gold for Canada at the 2021 U18, 2022 U20, 2023 U20
6'4 210 lbs LD
Selected R4 105OA in 2021.

Like Ben Roger Sens pick at 49OA he did not play at all in 2021 but he represented Canada at the U17s the previous year and again at the U18's just prior to the draft.

Its interesting that the Sens would not use the Team Canada evals in 2021 when information was not as readily available.
Same goes for Othmann who played in the Swiss league in 2021. U17s, U18s

Prospects analyst Chris Peters runs down USA's entire roster to assess how each player played at the 2023 World Juniors.

Tyler Boucher, RW (OTT)​

Early on in the tournament, I thought Boucher was one of USA’s more impactful forwards. He was good on the forecheck and made some effective plays with the puck on his stick. He also brought the physical game. One thing that I was most impressed with was Boucher’s pace. As the tournament wore on, however, Boucher was a bit less effective and impactful. Then he got injured in the game against Canada and couldn’t play the bronze medal game.

Be nice to see a game by game breakdown.
