Watching the Americans celebrate while that old dude did a monologue over by the boards in French was pretty surreal...

Byram was looking sloppy at times tonight. Think he was trying to do too much. It’s a toss up. Can’t complain with either/or. It’s in my astute opinion that Turcotte will never at “any stage” be better than Zegras. Zegras is like the American Elias PetterssonDoyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:08 pmI’d take Byram over either, but at this stage Zegras is ahead of Turcotte.Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 8:54 pmSure, but Zegras is the better player.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 8:53 pmTurcotte looked good out thereMegaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 8:30 pmYes, and the Kings took Turcotte out of the US program instead of the clearly superior Zegras.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 8:27 pm8th overall?

This is his last year of eligibility for the tournament. Jeezus eighth overall and he's yer invisible 13th forward in his last year.
Could have had Stutzle and Zegras, landed Byfield and Turcotte.
Holy crap.

They have the no. 1 ranked NHL affiliated prospect in the world in Igor Shesterkin. Lundkvist was ranked 22nd and Miller 43rd on the same list. Forward Kravtsov was ranked 36th.

Over a 7 game series the Canadians win hands down. The Americans did exactly as you said. The Canadian coach should’ve seen it coming and had a counter plan but didn’t.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:12 pm Funny thing.... due to College and USHL in business and Canadian Junior Hockey being shut down, only five Canadians had actually played meaningful games before the tournament. 16 Americans had played a avoid 1/4 season, only five Trumpettes hadn’t suited up in a real game until the tourney started.
The better team lost. US collapsed around their goalie, got a couple breaks on post and capitalized in the O zone when they needed to.
Not concerning as a fan of Canadian hockey. We’ve still throatpumped the world in Men’s best on best for the last 20 years

Agree. Byram is a top D prospect all teams would love to have but damn, both Zegras & Drysdale... that is like two grand slams in the same inning.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:23 pm The music was shit. Full marks to the Yanks but Canada should have showed up with more urgency. Good first ten minutes, horrible five minute stretch , then a rotten start to the 2nd.
Zegras is seriously skilled. I am thinking for Canucks I’d take Byram cuz we need a D. If you needed a C, that kid is the shit. As the Chef said, the Ducks just nailed two first rounders with he and Drysdale.
Ya, but all of it? The whole works? .Tsn's presentation could have been better but they don't get much action anymore. The replays, like on the net scrambles just isn't the quality we're use to seeing. Out of shape and probably low on budget quota.Carl Yagro wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 10:04 pm
TSN needs to fire the music director. Fuck, that shit is horrid.
Not sure about throat pumped, but dominated, sure.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:12 pm
