World Hockey Championship Discussion (Hamhuis - CAN, Bonino - USA)

[cc]

Russia scores. Hamhuis did not look good on the play while trying to block the low shot while screening smith and not taking the russian player's stick in front.

He barely screened him, and he has 2 assists this game I think.

Congrats Canada!!!

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Great job Canada!!!

 

[Canucks LB]

Great job!, awesome tourney!

 

[The Stig]

Thas how we do

 

[Bures Elbow]

Hamhuis was really good, restored some faith in him by watching him during the knockout rounds.

Bonino with a goal and an assist in the Bronze medal match.

Hamhuis is at his zenith as a trading chip imo...some team out there like Columbus or Colorado with lots of prospects would have to be interested.....I hope for a change the 'Nucks can finally sell high on a player.....they need prospects and picks badly imo.....and with Hamhuis, who knows what happens next year?.....is he the player that struggled down the stretch in VanCity or the guy who seemed to step it up on the bigger ice at the WHC?

For those wondering why Hamhuis didn't look this good with the Nucks

he was tied to garbage like Bieksa/Sbisa/Weber all season

It was lot more than just his playing partner....guy was getting regularly turnstyled by faster forwards and was losing puck battles along the wall and in front of the net....offense all but disappeared...I put it down to injury, after missing five weeks with a bad groin, but no, he was just plain lousy down the stretch and the 'Nucks managed to stay in the playoff hunt without him in the lineup....time for younger guys back on the blueline and the 'Nucks desperately need picks and prospects...hope he waives his NTC.

Philly is the perfect fit for Hanhuis. They need him badly. And they're trying to win now. I'd do everything possibly to try and convince him to go there. Their 7th overall is pretty enticing. Barzal or Provorov

What are you thinking 23rd overall + Hammer for 7th overall?

 

[Ace of Hades]

Hammer has a world championship, gold medal and is now missing that holy grail (he was one win away from winning) to be part of the triple gold club.

 

[Nucker101]

Hamhuis looked better with Brent Burns than Yannick Weber?

I'm stunned.

 

[Addison Rae]

Luongo, both Sedins and Hammer could have been part of that group if they just won game 7

 

[Mofletz]

Weber, Sbisa, Bieksa are so bad.

We really only have Tanev, Edler, Ham

 

[Barney Gumble]

Weber, Sbisa, Bieksa are so bad.

Those three aren't bad....in the bottem pairing. Too bad all three won't be paid the same as Weber (or his likely salary on his next deal).

 

[Ace of Hades]

Hopefully Corrado gets more playing time and develops as a #4 second pairing defenceman

 

[The Stig]

Well the game was over for about 10 minutes before this got derailed. Closed.
