AHL stint boosts Scott’s chances in nailing starting job - TSN.ca

What’s the biggest game Ian Scott has ever played? The Prince Albert Raiders goalie pauses to contemplate the question.

"I'd have to say the chance I got to play my first pro game," he says after a moment.

"Just be ready at any time, because I remember not knowing if I was going to get a game when I was with the Marlies so just always working hard and always being ready for your first chance or next chance," he said.

"Looking back at the game there were a few things that we worked on in practice leading up to the game that I caught myself doing during the game and I think that was the most rewarding thing coming out of the game."

"He's a different goalie than Michael," noted coach Tim Hunter. "He’s really calm in the net. He makes the routine saves and he makes everything look easy. He’s square to the puck, controls rebounds and gets in front of the puck. So, when you look back, it’s calming. He’s in place, he makes the stop, he plays the puck well. So, when you’re watching from the bench and your teammates are watching your goalie, they see a sense of calmness back there and that’s a real good thing."

Sucks that both Nylander and Liljegren go their last years at the WJC spoiled due to injury.

Finland made final cuts today which knocks out two prospects who could have been of interest to us in Kokkonen and Lassi Thomson.

Nylander made up for it pretty good the next year at the WC.

Aaaaand Scott couldn’t hold the game down for Canada. Is DiPietro looking like the starter on Boxing Day?

They were losing when he went in, what do you mean hold the game down?

I do not know... DiPietro has looked like trash whenever he's played. Scott was far better in his full game, and he did not even look worse than DiPietro in this game despite coming in dead cold.

I may be biased, but I think Scott has 100% earned the starting job over DiPietro, especially if we are going based on this season and the pre-tournament play. He could easily lose it, but the job should easily be his to lose right now.

I haven't paid attention yet, I'm guessing DiPietro was the favorite going into the tourney, dunno where they stand

 

[PanniniClaus]

Dipietro is going to be the guy unless he falls apart. Scott will need to be ready.

Never been a big fan of coming half way through the game, you're cold in that situation. Scott has been good.

 

[Judas Tavares]

My guess is DiP on Boxing Day and Scott the next game. I think Scott will need to vastly outplay DiP in his game to be the guy the rest of the way.

Damn relax. Saying anything good about Nylander around here will get you jumped

Relax? Jumped? My post was completely benign

A little sensitive there?

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

Has Canada announced the starting goalie yet?

I love the WJC tournament..

Its among my favourite Hockey of the year..

I PRV all the games and watch them with the added fun of amateur scouting the draft eligible prospects for the upcoming draft as well as cheer on Canada and follow Leaf prospects in the tourney.

GO Canada GO !!!!

 

[1specter]

Damn relax. Saying anything good about Nylander around here will get you jumped

Lol what? He made an observation it wasnt an argument

 

[Al14]

Yep Australia and New Zealand are both in division 3.

Hockey power houses no doubt. Field hockey that is.

Happy WJC Day.

I updated OP. Rosters are essentially final. We have a situation with Cajka and Honka (who are both draft eligibles) where they have been kept around, but not registered, and are available for the last 2 spots on their respective teams. But, they still have competition for those spots as more players have been kept than eligible for those spots.
