DON Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Cole Caufield in 7-1 pre-tourny game … he has 4 of the goals. How many will he bury in this tourney. I think "the Tsar" has 3 points in his game today vs Czech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCPetit Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Four shots on reception. One from his left side (he shoots right). Nobody close to that kind of hand-eye coordination in the line-up. Very few in the NHL IMO. Very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep thinking Martin St Louis, likely because of his stature and St Louis wasnt a real sniper and was more like Gallagher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXx..CK..xXx Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Looks like Galenyuk on Russia is missing a couple of letters on the back of his jersey. ...and if he were to happen to be missing say, something like two letters on the back of his jersey, they may or may not be “CH” 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Canada shows a little backbone and ties it up 2-2. Another PPG and up 3-2 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Usa was better in the first. It was close 5v5 but usa just made it lòok easy on the two pps. Canada gets a 5v5 early in the second and dominates the period. They score two pp goals too. (10-1 in high danger shots that period) Usa scores about a second too late at the end of 2nd but has 1:44 of pp time to start third. Canada hasnt killed a pp yet 3-2 right now.

DON Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Oh oh, the dreaded 2 goal lead. Whoo all good, back to just a 1 goal lead and a US PP. Should play out well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows you the difference 1 year can make in the development of a young hockey player. He is ready for this tournament. I thought Caulfield was barely noticeable but it's just 1 game, hopefully his bad games are against Canada. I think Quinton Byfield will be a beast.

Commandant Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 That Stutzle is a hell of a prospect. I have him at #3 right now for 2020 (though like last year 1 and 2 are easy picks and 3-9 is incredibly close). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see him pot one! What are your thoughts on how USA is utilizing Caufeild? Feels to me like he’s not getting much opportunity.

Feels to me like he’s not getting much opportunity. I don't understand it, after he scored so many goals in pre tournament, you'd think he'd be on the first PP and top line. That said he's not been at his best as he was in the 4 goal game either. Its a short tournament, remember Suzuki kinda sucked in this tourney last year, but it didn't take away from a great season in the OHL, and look where he is now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bad short tourney isn’t the end of the world. But I agree, I figured especially Caufeild would be on that top PP. Some baffling coaching decisions I think though. I heard an announcer at one point say “that’s the first time I’ve seen turcotte and Caufeild line up together.” These guys already have chemistry from Wisconsin! It makes no sense not to try them together. Meanwhile zegras had 3 assists and was averaging 3-4 minutes a period. It seems like the coach has “his guys” and Caufeild may not be one. Crossing my fingers for him though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels to me like he’s not getting much opportunity. Don't like it one bit, you got Turcotte and Zegras, 2 great playmakers scattered around while a line of them 2 with Caufield would be wrecking havoc at any given moment. They would both benefit from a high percentage finisher like Caufield, and he would benefit from players able to find him every time he gets lost in the weeds. U.S coach obviously has a strategy of his own, but I simply don't get it or like it, if you weren't planning on using Caufield as your version of Stamkos, why even bring him a long? Surely someone else would have been better suited to play 13 min with minimal PP time than him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
