Yeah, I'm watching, though I've only seen the Czech Republic's games. Past few years Canada just cruises through the group stage, there's hardly any point in watching really France has been performing well so far, happy for Da Costa

Feels good man when you don't follow Worlds because Sens are still in the playoffs.

 

[mianjo]

Watch out for Stefan Da Costa for France, could be a prospect for the Sens......

Just put the TV on and it's 3-2 Canada vs France, but not sure if he got any points. Txs for the heads up!

Pro-management post incoming, telling us Da Costa is crap, he had his chance and blew it, and to get over it.

Pro-management post incoming, telling us Da Costa is crap, he had his chance and blew it, and to get over it.

I mean... the job of management is not to make Da Costa successful. It's to build a good team and he wasn't doing anything to really help with that.

Why was he given no chances anywhere else? You guys love to talk about all the great organizations that focus on analytics and all the cups they won with this approach. Why didn't any of them? Justin Schultz got a second chance for instance before I hear about how Ottawa ruined Da Costa.

I don't wish him bad luck but it's tiresome to constantly hear about former roleplayers for the Sens and what a mistake it was to let them go while you selectively ignore Brassard's analytics or complain when we add roleplayers.

As for the IIHF WHC - I don't really care because there are no Sens and especially no Sens on Team Canada. It's not the Olympics which Bettman should let players go to.

Now that Da Costa is UFA I'm hoping he signs with Vegas and lights it up.

Good post! Another small skilled AHL or European player who couldn't cut it in the NHL, end of story.

There are going to be an awful lot of distractions for hockey players in Vegas, I'm going to bet someone gets caught doing something they should not be doing during the season & seriously reprimanded sooner or later in Vegas. Young rich men in SIN CITY, what could possibly go wrong?

NHL teams won't waste their contracts on the likes of Da Costa.

 

[Back in Black]

Didn't see him do much in the 3rd period, but to fair, it might not have been enough time to comment.

 

[DrEasy]

Da Costa with an assist against Canada on a beautiful pass on the PP, showing off again his great vision.

Da Costa had 3a and scored TWICE in the shootout to lead his team in a 4-3 OT win against Belarus.

I don't care if he ever had NHL impact he will always be one of my favourite prospects.

Scoring race: Panarin 11, Da Costa 8, McKinnon 8

 

[Back in Black]

Well Canada s**t the bed today losing 3-2 in O/T. Especially being up 2-0 most of the game.

 

[OmniSens]

What an embarrassment that was.
