His middle name is Orr.

Didn’t get a point on the second goal but he kept the play alive and provided a screen in front. I’m not impressed by Perfetti. He’s pretty soft and not that fast. He doesn’t backcheck very hard either.

Taking the “C” on his sweater to heart.

Awesome display of speed at the end of the period by Cozens. It was a 2 on 1 for the Finns but he got back to catch his guy.

Player of the game as well. Impressive young player.

Peterka is playing with a lot of confidence. He is fun to watch. Stuetzle is better but I don’t find the gap to be very wide.

He will be awesome at improving the shot blocking technique. In all seriousness, I wish him luck and hope the Sabres benefit from his experience.

1 minute clip of Jack Quinn post game interview. Not much meat, but you get a glimpse of our newest prospect. https://www.tsn.ca/hockey-canada/video/quinn-we-re-all-proud-of-the-way-we-played-we-re-getting-better-each-game~2108740

Maybe even like a Stamkos, when healthy. Wing ,Centre and providing leadership.

Not that kind of speed but similar size and hands.

Boldly has been good in this tournament but my favourite from that group is Newhook. He is fast, shifty and drives to the net.

I know +/- is not a fancystat but it’s nice to see Quinn with that number. That’s something the coaches love and will trust him with important ice time.

Here’s another example of how tough an 18 year old draft is, Alex Turcotte was drafted ahead of Cozens and Zegras. He has not been a factor last year or this year so far. Things may change again in 3-4 years. I still like the Cozens pick. I was really hoping for Rossi this year but Quinn is growing on me. I see a lot of Mark Stone in him and if he approaches that level it is a great pick.

I am being political here but I see them as equals. Really different players. I see Cozens as Jeff Carter in his prime and Zegras reminds me of Sebastian Aho.

Cozens on PP1 and PK1. Quinn on PP2 and PK2. Plenty of special teams ice time on a talented squad.

Cozens with the strong net front presence on the PP. Buries a rebound.

Ray Ferraro and TSN are calling Cozens the Workhorse from Whitehorse.

Cozens with a great display of his speed at the end of the period. His top end speed must be in the top of the NHL caliber.

Solid board work. Not flashy but effective,

Peterka with a PP assist, Germany tied 3-3 with Slovakia after 2 periods.

Czechs leading the Russians 1-0 after two periods. Russians outplaying them but the Czechs are tight defensively.

Quinn with the empty net.

Quinn on the PK, key assignment in a close game.

Cozens has a good stint on the PK and then makes a beauty stretch pass for a huge goal. Slovaks have played well, with a few 16 year olds in their lineup.

It would be extremely difficult to have an MVP quality tournament without a supporting cast. He is a good player but they never have the puck.
