dlbalr Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 De la Rose has a pair of assists so far in the SWE-SUI game. He's on the 2nd line LW with Sundqvist and Forsberg. Collberg remains with Wennberg and Johnson, the same line as we saw in the pre-tournament games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Collberg left the game injured. Unclear on the severity. It's not an injury which is good news. He's sick apparently and was unable to continue after the 1st. https://twitter.com/Sz1909_Szemberg/status/416292736753750016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Went to the game last night. (Switzerland-Sweden) Filip Forsberg played really well. My early candidate for the MVP. Switzerland has come a long way. Maybe it's time to rename the "Big 7" to "Big 8". Not impressed with Collberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Reway should be able to generate some offense vs Germany. well he just assisted on 1st goal on PP 3minutes in.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 3 assists for Reway through 2 periods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Reway winds up with a 4 point game after adding a goal in the 3rd. Lehkonen had a goal and an assist for the Finns in their victory. Collberg (flu) is doubtful for tomorrow's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 curious to see how Lehkonen and Reway do vs bit stronger opposition tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 another 2 goals for Reway I didn't catch all of the game but from what I saw he was one of the standouts...good and bad. When the puck was on his stick, he does well. When it wasn't, I didn't like what I saw. He calls for the puck too often while it was frustrating seeing him coast through the neutral zone or park himself at the opposition blueline to wait for someone to gain the zone. That has been the book on him this year and it was evident in this one. On the happy side, he's a wizard with the puck on his stick and has the patience/confidence to make the difficult play look easy. Both of his goals were right in front of the net too, it's always good to see prospects driving the crease. Reway was also named Player of the Game (not a big shocker since he scored 2/3 goals). He gets to enjoy that Malmo book (which is still a lot better than flowers...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hudon was great when they finally played him in the third period with Drouin and Mantha. Don't know why Sutter didnt try that two weeks ago given the success in the superseries. Also Paterson sucked and Fucale has to play next game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why Sutter didnt try that two weeks ago given the success in the superseries. Also Paterson sucked and Fucale has to play next game Hudon did play well. I wonder if he'll stay on that line or if he'll be dropped back to the 13th F again as I'm sure McDavid will get back on his line. As for the goalie situation, Sutter hinted that Fucale will get the nod against the Slovaks although he wouldn't make it official. https://twitter.com/markhmasters/status/417020655658209280 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 How badly will Sweden beat Norway this morning, double-digits is likely. The 2 Hab-swedes should be able to pad stats some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Good news for the Canadiens' Canadian prospects - Fucale will start tomorrow and it appears Hudon now has a regular spot with Drouin and Mantha. Leier/McDavid now seems to be the forward rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 De la Rose with another assist today (yes i know it was against Norway). I love all the skills DLR has and my criticism of him has always been that given those skills he should score more points than he actually does. At this tournament he's produced at least 1 point in each of the first three games (plus some good performances in exhibition too). I wonder if he's finally turning that corner. If he does, he could be a heck of a pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Will Hudon get more than 3 shifts in 1st two periods? He should since it appears he's going to get a regular shift. It has been the day of the upset at the WJC's today. Finland - minus Lehkonen and Ristolainen - beats Russia 4-1 while Germany, less Draisaitl (suspension) shuts out the Czechs 3-0. If Slovakia beats the Czechs tomorrow, the latter goes into relegation while Germany would make the quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Reway looked a lot better in this game than he did the prior one. He was at least semi-interested in back checking while his offensive zone prowess was top notch. Hudon was the quietest of his linemates but still played well. Fucale was okay but nothing more. It's hard to fault him on the goals but he looked shaky all game in terms of rebound control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 With that performance, Reway is tied for the scoring lead He looked good at Hab camp and pre-season, haven't seen todays game yet, but 3 points against Canada is quite good showing. The kid seems to have lots of confidence, good vision and imagination with puck for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForumGhost Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 So, did Reway secretly become one of out top prospects overnight? Tied for the lead in tournament scoring after 3 games. But of course, he's a smurf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Reway has a ton of talent. If he was bigger he wouldn't have been a fourth rounder. He still needs to show he can score at the AHL level before we call him a top prospect though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
