crabtree looking pretty good
- stayinthefnnet

that was a great throw and break by crabtree to get open on 4th and 6 he got them 3 points instead of the punt

I think Stolie the Goalie did see game action, no? Didn't he shut out some weak sister team?

Ze Germans, 8-0.

Both are fringe NHLers, so it doesn't really matter much

so yea would you rather them make their mistakes in the AHL or NHL

yeah one game. still a nice honor to be selected

the Flyers had 7 picks in the 2012 draft. 5 participated in the WJC (Ghost last yr). have to love that. I only saw Russia a few games being they were in the other pool but I thought Valeri Vasiliev looked good. Same with Hagg. Leier was on the 4th line for the most part and sometimes the 13th skater. I thought he played with a lot of energy and added some punch. he did see more time on other lines. seemed to play a bit in the 3rd today. Laughton spent the early tournament as a checker then moved up to play wing. I was hoping to see a more offensive role. And obviously Stolartz was just the backup so had little opportunity to do much

major disappointment for North America. I thought the pool was weak for the US and Canada. The USA didn't have a tough game until Canada. Glad they have Finland and Canada in the pool next yr

Morin "might" have a shot at next year.

Imo we have no prospects that are going to be top 9 players. I dunno how useful the AHL is for bottom 9 guys like McGinn and VDV. I think its more useful for them to learn the NHL grind on the roster. That's just my 2 cents.

man this is going to be a rough game for the packers

Laughton & Leier are top 9 prospects. But they are with the last few drafts adding prospects mostly on defense but I'm okay with that part.

i'm curious about this as well

- ob18

Its a long time away but I say he has a better chance making the Flyers roster for 9 games then team Canada. The tourny is to fast and small for guys like Morin. If the tourny is on NA ice so that helps. but still I see a over reaction next year and Hockey Canada going wit more mobile smaller dmen.

It is just a gut feeling. I am not saying he is a bust I am just saying some players are more fitted for NHL game then jr international play

do the quotation marks mean he doesn't have a chance?

Yep, totally agree.

I probably should know the answer to this but I don't recall....when the tournament is held in NA, do they still use Olympic size rinks? I know Montreal and Toronto host next year

so yea would you rather them make their mistakes in the AHL or NHL

I'd rather see them play ahead of Rinaldo & Rosehill

I respect ppl who think Laughton is a top 6 prospect. I just see him as a well needed and respected 3rd line center who doesn't put up huge pts but is a key piece to a team. I see him between a John Madden and Mike Peca.

As for Leier, I don't think we have seen enough of him to call him a top 9 forward. He has played on a good Jr team and has produced well.

Sorry everyone I meant top 6 not top 9

I'd rather see them play ahead of Rinaldo & Rosehill
- Jsaquella

don't lie you know the rosehill/bisonette fight got the flyers going last night

Not a Nick Cousins fan?
- johndewar

Like I said I meant top 6 not top 9. I like Cousins a lot I was really encouraged watchin him in preseason esp vs Caps prospects. I think he is will be a black ace this year (I think that's what they are called) and will have a chance to make the team next year if Downie walks and no one is resigned.

It did. But I'd rather see actual hockey players dress for games

brayden schenn 25 points
simmonds 28 points
then we got grossman with the pick right?

Richards 28 points

I understand LA got the cup but man....

It did. But I'd rather see actual hockey players dress for games
- Jsaquella

fair enough

Voracek 29 points
Couturier 18 points
Cousins

Carter 26 points

do the quotation marks mean he doesn't have a chance?
- -davies-

that's up to him & whatever Canada feels they need to do to win a medal again
