Leafs Suck Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 Carey Price The Canadiens raised a lot of eyebrows taking him fifth overall in the 2005 NHL Draft, but Price has stood out for a struggling Tri-City team. His 2.34 GAA, .920 save percentage, 24 wins and eight shutouts placed him in the top 10 of all WHL goalie categories, good enough to earn a spot in the 2005 CHL Top Prospects game in Vancouver. He also played at the U-18 World Junior Championship in the Czech Republic, leading Canada to a silver medal. Stats through Dec. 5: 8-9-3, 2 SO Kyle Chipchura Chipchura has long been considered by scouts as a two-way player with with a bit of offensive upside. His best junior season thus far was in 2003-2004, when he tallied 48 points in 64 games with Prince Albert. Last season, Chipchura went down very early with an Achilles' heel injury, but bounced back and played in 28 regular season games and 14 playoff matches. Played for Canada at the 2004 World Under-18 Championship in Belarus, and was taken in the first round by the Montreal Canadiens. Stats through Dec. 5: 27 GP, 6 G, 15 A, 37 PIM Guillaume Latendresse He tallied 49 points in 2003-04 and was named to the 2003-2004 QMJHL All-Rookie Team. He scored 53 goals and 137 points in 118 games in his first two seasons with Drummondville and helped lead Canada to a silver medal at the 2005 World-18 Championship. Drafted in the second round by the Montreal Canadiens in June, his strong play almost saw him crack the lineup in the final week of the preseason. Stats through Dec. 5: 25 GP, 22 G, 18 A, 55 PIM [Edited on 2005/12/5 by Leafs Suck] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 All three should make the team and play important roles. I've heard Chip is being labelled a possible team Canada captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 That would be amazing. If he can lead that team that is very important. Montreal will need leaders in the next 5 or 6 years. I hope all three make the team and play exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoRvInA Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I remember Tender scoring a couple against the Russian stars... forgot about the WHL and Chipmunk.... How did he fair in that 8 . 2 win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycing Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Great news!... My guess is Latendresse is just about a fix on the team, while Chipchura should have a good shot at a more defensive roll... Any chance of Price out-dueling the other goalies?

option+ Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I'd say Price has a good chance to make the team. It helps that Brent Sutter has, ahem, let's just say an "affinity" with WHL players. Sutter should be plenty familiar with Price's ability. He'd better have a good camp, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mentioned Gui's name first when talking about who Canada can look to for scoring. I find TSN's pretty good for being fair when talking about prospects, not really paying attention to who drafted them, except when there's a good Leafs prospect (which is understandable).

Latendresse is a lock, and will probably be on the #1 line. You'd think that Derick Brassard would be a lock too since him and Gui are linemates in junior, but that would require Sutter to pick 2 players from the Q, so I'm not sure it'll happen.

Yes, 7 were invited to the selection camp, but it remains to be seen how many make the team. This a good crop of Q players though, so I hope to see a few. Ultimately Sutter had a gold medal and I don't, so he can go as he pleases. But let's just say that I'm anticipating this year's version of Team Canada to be full of players from the Dub.

Redlight60 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Im not really sold on if they will all make it. You Latandresse hasnt been as good on his team as we expected(but will probably play a second line role), Price has had a bad yr(and other goalies are going in hot, ala pogge) and Chipchara, i have o clue, i havent been following him. Maybe he'll play a role like upshall did a few years back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch for life Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 latendresse suffered for a while as all players returning from NHL ususally do...he elevates for big games though..dont think sutter didnt see the russia challenge games. unless he is a total ghost in camp he is alock.

ch for life Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 oh and as for price and Latendresse...Price did well against the russians as well..no goals against..and sutter is all too aware of how shit poor his tri-city team is..he will give him a chance to prove himself in camp..he is one of only a handful of players with international experience on the tryout list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch for life Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 sorry "price and chipchura"not latendresse...chipchura would have had every chance to make the team last year..this year he or barker will wear the C..he is the prototype of what a guy like sutter looks for in a player..especially on a team that will be depending on its scoring from mostly very young and inexperienced players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafs Suck Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Price played his first inter-squad game tonight. Allowed only 1 goal. While Ellis allowed 5. That didn't stop habs-hater pierre maguire from ripping price. amazing, the kids lets one in and clearly outplays his opponent yet maguire spins it as price was the weak one. Plus he praises leaf prospect Pogge as the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
