World Juniors

The US cut Alex DeBrincat today. He's 1 point behind Canadian and teammate Taylor Raddysh for the lead in OHL scoring this season.

The good news is that this means Bracco made the team. I'm guessing the final spot likely came down to those two.

Same decision last year went the other way. Not sure why the Us program can only have one small high scoring forward per team (as if scoring is automatic? See DeBrincat's previous tournament injury fizzle), but there you have it.

I wonder how much of his meltdown at the tournament played a role?  I think it still has more to do with the US limiting non USNDT players

I'm watching. Not only because the Leafs don't play again until Wednesday, but because the World Junior Tournament has arguably the best caliber of hockey played on par with the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. There's hitting, everyone is skating fast and giving 110%.

Apparently he didn't really have a good pretournament. Last year's early penalty for spearing vs Canada probably didn't help either.

As for size, the US is actually rolling with a good handful of smaller players, 5'10" and under:
Jack Ahcan, Adam Fox, Jeremy Bracco, Patrick Harper, Clayton Keller.

I also love the tournament, but truth be told, the entertainment value is there for me because of the comparatively large number of mistakes, while at the same time, seeing high amounts of skill on display.

 
Bracco with the salt rub, potting the 5th goal on the pp en route to a 6-1 win over Latvia (and Martins Dzierkals).
 
Team Canada defeats Team Russia by a score of 5-3.  Canada's Dylan Strome led the way with a pair of power play goals, while Matthew Barzal and Nicholas Roy got the others.

The speedy Canadians used that to their advantage, outshooting The Russians 37-17.  Though Canada outplayed Russia, some Russian players weren't convinced that the guys with the Maple Leaf on their jerseys were better:

"They're a pretty fast team," said Sergachev, a Montreal Canadiens prospect who scored the first Russian goal. "But we can beat them all the time because they get weak in the second and third periods. They're just pretty good in the first."

Well, we'll see about that, Mikhail.

I actually thought the team looked real sloppy early on. I also think Strome isn't that great.

He has a ways to go before he's an NHL star that's for sure.

Wow, I forgot about that. If they DID chose Marner over Strome and they got a little lottery ball help last year, MARNTHEWS would be playing for Arizona right now!

Thanks hockeyfan!
 
Team Canada shuts out Team Slovakia by a score of 5-0.

Canada outshot Slovakia 44-6.  Yes, you read it right.  In doing so, it gave Canadian goalkeeper Connor Ingram an off-night practically.  Canadian goals came from Taylor Raddysh,  Anthony Cirelli, Tom Chabot, Michael McLeod, and Jeremy Lauzon.

On the other side of the fence, Slovakia netminder Adam Huska wqs a busy one in attempting to salvage his much outplayed teammates, in facing the 44 shots directed at him by his opponents.

If Arizona did choose Marner, I wonder if the Leafs would have chosen Hanafin though.  Marner was definitely Hunter's guy.  Hanafin was Babcock's.  Who knows if anyone was truly in love with Strome in the org.
