Turcotte has been OK, I think he’s still kinda sick. He hasn’t been too noticeable but has an assist. He did get robbed of a nice goal though because Bernier set him up

 

[Kevin Musto]

You love him don’t you lol?

He’s a good player, wish we had a late 1st too so we could take him.

Honestly he might go even earlier than that. I bet Tampa takes him.

They often steal players from the Q. Wouldn't be surprised.

Tracey makes it 4-3

 

[goldenbladz1]

Woooo! Canada takes the lead

 

[migi]

Turcotte scores!

 

[Kevin Musto]

Krebs grabs the empty net. 5-3.

 

[goldenbladz1]

Game over Finland. Domination by Canada after spotting them a 3-0 lead

 

[Kevin Musto]

Canada wins! Huge comeback.

Turvoote's assist was grade A...his goal was grade A...maybe still not 100%but he was a lot better than Generational Jack who looks tiny ...somehow even tinier than Caufield ..do not know how that is but that is how it looks. . looks small and not weight. ..somehow Caufield looks "bigger" ...maybe optical illusion unless Caufield has grown or may be added weight.. it Jack looked meh and tiny ..

Impressed by Caufield obviously ...gets to open spots and fires a lot of shots ...Boldy had a terrific game =looked pro "ready"...very smooth...got to pucks. ..made plays..smart...he looked "comfortable" in what he can do.

Knight was very good...York impressed..

Who impressed least?Generational Jack!


So we have today 2 of the highest rated players and Centers in this draft who frankly did not much to impress anyone in their opening games..

Cozens zero points...Generational Jack 1 measly assist wich was a rebound that Turcotte got and put in with his grade A shot ...so Jack failed to beat a goalie point blank. ..again...but Turcotte showed on his shot why he can beat goalies.

Looks like the expert scouts and pundits who rank all blew a tire today ...their glitter guys Hughes and Cozens were underwhelming ...

If the Hawks were to grab a late first, who would you target in the mid 20's? Knight? Or would he be gone for then?

BRETT MOTHER f***ING LEASON!!

 

[clydesdale line]

Turcotte scores!

Only the beginning... @CallMeShaft

BTW, I really, really like York. A shame Hawks have alot of smallish PMD already. I'd take him over Beaudin though for example and I'm a big Beaudin guy.

 

[Drumman44]

Fiddy would take him at third. I'm asking about the other pick

I’ve heard heavy drug use has that kind of side effect.

That was a nice shot he took on his goal. Top left corner from in close from a rebound.

there are some that think York might creep into the top 10...I dunno...he very well could

It's been a long time since there has been only a single defenseman drafted in the top 10. Bad teams are usually (but not always) bad because of their defense, so GMs have a habit of reaching a bit to get someone they feel can make a difference.

Wouldn't be surprised if one of York or Soderstrom found their way into the top 10.

 

[JLarucci23]

Could be the booze in me, but beside Caufield, I thought Turcotte looked like the best player on the ice. You can tell he’s got very good skating ability, he thinks the game at a top level, creative with the puck and has a nice scoring touch. Boldly had a few forced passes in the first but settled in nicely. Also made some nice defensive plays. Jack was just okay to me. You can tell the kid has skill, but to me he seemed uncomfortable out there and was trying to do to much. Just my uninformed opinion tho.

 

[TheDachKnight]

These Cozens reports might have me changing my mind on him. I’m one of the ones that was high on him and defending him when people would blast his hockey sense. It’s early still, but he might be proving me wrong. Also why isn’t Dach on Team Canada? This is the kind of tournament that could really raise his draft stock.

Edit: Dach declined due to an injury he sustained in the WHL playoffs.

 

[LDF]

Caufield is had a hell of a game. wow, he raised his stock.
