26CornerBlitz Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 @SabresProspects Grigorenko (+1, team-high 6 SOG) had a better third period in loss to FIN. A little more urgency. Still need to see more consistent battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR HOLLIDAY Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Reinhardt looks special out there. Doesnt really wow me in any sense but does everything right. Mcdavid has looked really special all tournament. Really uses his body well to shield the puck and is easily the best passer in the tournament. The canadians have had a real problem finsihing. Mcdavid set up about 4 point blank chances in front including one where he skated around his man and while on his back hand right in front he passed to a wide open man in the slot who blew it. I have liked Ekblads offensive game a lot but he hasnt been noticeable on the defensive end. Not that that is a bad thing but I would want to see more out of him. Reinhardt to me seems very Druryish. Would love to have him on this team especially if we get Callahan. It would definitely make for the hardest team in hockey to come back and we would be very very hard to play against. McDavid would put us over the top. Make us a force to be reckoned with especially if even 1/3rd of the guys in the pipeline work out. McDavid has been garbage so far this tourney, he has skills but he is getting frustrated. Taking bad penalties last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving up a lot of opportunities for teammates. I still think he has been Canadas best player and most impressive player. Reinhardt is just so good at everything. The kid doesnt make a mistake. Reminds me of Tavares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the knock against him is that his skating is average/below average. JT had that same knock and has become a much better skater since then.

Derrico Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Big scare for Canada earlier today but they defeat the Slovaks 5-3 after being down 3-2 with less than 6 minutes left in the game. From the parts of two games I've seen I have not been impressed with Ekblad out there. Big Canada USA game tomorrow to decide the winner of the division.

North Buffalo Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 McDavid has been garbage so far this tourney, he has skills but he is getting frustrated. Taking bad penalties last game. Watched the game against Slovakia Agreed, the kid McDavid has a lot of growing up to do and needs to be stronger in the corners, his speed makes up for it, but he doesn't do well when getting hit and gets stupid when he does. Though I do I like his compete. Lazar was a wow and Petan is a sniper.... Who owns his rights. Anyone else out there on that team draft eligble. Reinhardt seems to have nice hands plays well on D, but is not a stop and start kind of guy. With his size he reminds me of Van Reimsdyk in college. Big kid, just wonder if he is a little too much like Grigerenko. Needs to learn to move his feet a little faster. He made a nice pass on the open netter, but he is obviously unselfish and can handle himself in the corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 News: WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP DAY 5 Finland stifles the Russians; Canada rallies late to beat Slovakia By Kris Baker - SabresProspects.com Mikhail Grigorenko produced one assist and a game-high six shots on goal Monday as Russia was defeated by Finland 4-1 at the 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship. Star defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen did not play for Finland due to illness. Grigorenko earned a secondary assist as Valeri Vasiliev opened scoring at 5:27 of the first period, but that was all the Russians could muster after entering the contest with 18 goals through their first two games. Finland owned the second period of play, securing a 12-5 shot advantage en route to scoring three goals, and was able to add another marker in the final frame while holding off the Grigorenko-led Russian attack the rest of the way. Defenseman Nikita Zadorov finished with a minus-one rating in defeat for Russia. The hulking defender exhibited his hitting ability at times, but was unable to generate much activity in the offensive zone. Russian will look to get back on track Tuesday when they face unbeaten Sweden. Finland will complete their round robin schedule versus Switzerland. http://youtu.be/UJHks25DYHg RUSSIA/FINLAND GAME SUMMARY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that the dude is 16 and the quality does shine through. I agree. He is only 16 and is probably # 3 on the depth chart for his position. Sutter values his guys with experience over young guys with hype. The kid will be good but he'll have to pay his dues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 McDavid was excellent in game one, created well early in game two but then took two bad penalties and got nailed to the bench. That carried over today. He looked uptight and didn't do much until the third. It's probably most adversity he's ever faced. He's got some growing up to do, but his skill set and effort are as good as I've seen in the tourney. He's 16. Curtis Lazar is a hockey player. He will be driving us crazy with Ottawa for the next 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this 16 year old boy made mistakes, he took some bad penalties, had a few bad giveaways. On several occasions where he made a bad play, he was chasing down his man and often he came up with a takeaway!

26CornerBlitz Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Zadorov speaks on eve of key tilt Written By Kris Baker on Monday, December 30, 2013 Nikita Zadorov spoke to Swedish reporters Monday following Russia's 4-1 loss to Finland at the 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship. Friend of the site, Alex Nilsson (follow: @aalexnil), was kind enough to share and translate Zadorov's comments. Russia didn't play well and lost against Finland. Now Sweden could pay for that in the group final? "We'll learn lots from this," says Nikita Zadorov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be driving us crazy with Ottawa for the next 10 years. McDavid hasn't been perfect, but I've seen him make a handful of reads and passes each game I don't think anyone else could have made. When looking at an underage player at the World Juniors I think the analysis should be focused much more on what he's doing right against older competition. A full year of development at that age is huge. I'll be much more interested in what he does next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWE 2, RUS 2. @SabresProspects Various reports suggest Ristolainen (illness) will miss second-straight game as FIN faces SUI. Know for sure at noon. FIN already in QF.

bunomatic Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Should be a good game. Good luck to the U.S. fans on Sabrespace. Methinks if Canada can stay out of the box we might pull one out but with a P.P. at 58% the U.S. squad has been really good. Enjoy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
