Young Stars tournament

[StrictlyCommercial]

Holy ****, its Thursday.

 

[PM]

Any word on McCann or Cassels being cleared to play? Going to really suck if either miss the tournament.

Sounds like they'll both play. Just saw this from Botchford:

"Jared McCann was cleared today and both he and Cole Cassels are all set to play in this weekend's young stars tournament"

Awesome news! So stoked for this!

 

[PM]

Awesome, thanks! Some good news for once.

The Canucks games are being streamed on CDC.

http://canucks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=777938

All Canucks games during the Young Stars Classic Tournament will be streamed live on Canucks.com beginning September 11th when the Vancouver Canucks prospects take on the Edmonton Oilers prospects at 7:30 PM.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Sweet. Ill find the other games somewhere.

 

[D0ctorCool]

I'm driving up tomorrow morning with my brother. 4 days, 30 degree heat, and 6 hockey games. Words can't describe how pumped I am for this.

 

[Mofletz]

I have a bad feeling about this tournament.

Jets, Flames, Oilers prospects >>>> Canucks.

 

[PM]

Oh I expect us to get slapped around by everyone (have you seen or goaltending and defense?) but I am excited either way to see if Virtanen has progressed, see if McCann and Cassels can build on their successful seasons and finally get a good look at Ben Hutton.

I'm also interested to see McDavid of course and Ehlers. Oh and 19-year-old Sam Bennett.

 

[DL44]

In terms of invites...

(I think this how it breaks down)

Canucks
4 forwards, 2 goalies

Jets
1 forward, 3 dmen

Flames
5 forwards, 3 dmen, 1 goalie

Oilers
8 forwards, 3 dmen, 1 goalie

the results of this tournament mean sweet **** all. I doubt many guys are going full out in this kind of tournament unless its guys looking for a contract. This is just a tournament for hockey nerds to overreact positively or negatively over some beer league calibre hockey. The quality of these games will be terrible and you really can't form much of an opinion based on it. Who was the best player for the canucks last year? Curtis Valk?? an overager who couldn't even crack the AHL.

Jealous.
Wish I'd have thought it through. I would've gone too

Yeah..
There's always 2 or 3 prospects that standout with performance and the plays they make regardless of the score- looking forward to seeing who they are this yr..

I'm interested in the seeing the same players as PM for obvious reasons...
I finally get to see Virtanen and Ehlers on the same ice for my first opportunity for a direct comparison (and i'm probably not alone on that front).

Little doubt Jake is 100% aware of the polarization the fanbase over him vs Ehlers/Nylander... Can't wait to see his first rip at him in Canuck colors.

Can't imagine how jacked he must be... 1st Canuck exhibition gm.. and its vs Ehlers' team of all teams. Almost fitting.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Oiler fan wishing you the best of luck against Calgary and Winnipeg.

Seeing the Flames go 0-3 would make me very happy.

 

[Reign Nateo]

Basically a showcase scrimmage, who gives a **** who wins...

 

[Bad News Benning]

Hunter Cole and Jake skating on a line together.

 

[Pip]

Hype!

I think the teams are actually fairly evenly balanced. The only place we're really weak is in net which could hurt. In the big scheme of things I'm more interested in seeing how our forwards have developed than the actual results. It's always more fun to win though.

 

[DL44]

So what are fights we are likely to see... Every yr there are a few solid fights...

Who are the potential knuckle chuckers this weekend?

Canucks
Stewart, Martin, Cederholm?

Flames
Proulx may be a safe bet : a 6'5 4pt, 77 PIM invite, Soustal, 6'3 0.28PPG 50 PIM invite.

Oilers and Jets.. i don't know...






And can someone explain to me how Dane Fox accrued 110 PIMs last season?

I'm predicting at least one Virtanen hit that results in a fight. Every time I watch him he seems to rock somebody.
