during the game he only got 2 minutes. IIHF must've reviewed it and given him supplemental discipline. good for them.meow wrote:?? I thought he got a match.

Re: 2014 World Junior Championships
Coming out party for Derrick Pouliot...felt like he was out there for 30 minutes today as the Canadians get four unanswered to erase a 3-1 deficit midway through...
He's trusted to do everything for the Canadians, him and young Ekblad. And considering how terrible Matthew Dumba is, Pouliot looks even better by association...
And my pet prospect from the 2013 draft, Nic Petan wins it and seals it...

I always thought Ekblad was Swedish... you know, with a name like Ekblad and what not.

Re: 2014 World Junior Championships
If people have a problem with Letang, they are going to hate Pouliot. He has plays where he is super patient and it looks like he just walks around a player or two (like on the PP today) but then has plays where he seems to completely misread the play and look lost. Also, is it me or does it seem like he completely misses the net more than 50% of the time? Another complaint that was heard about Letang in his early career.mikey287 wrote:Coming out party for Derrick Pouliot...felt like he was out there for 30 minutes today as the Canadians get four unanswered to erase a 3-1 deficit midway through...

That block late in the game which lead to the rush the other way and the Petan goal was great though.

Re: 2014 World Junior Championships
Yeah, not only are he and Ekblad getting #1 PK time too, but he's also the only D-man on the #1 PP unit, and was great moving it around there by all ccounts (could only listen to the game today).mikey287 wrote:Coming out party for Derrick Pouliot...felt like he was out there for 30 minutes today as the Canadians get four unanswered to erase a 3-1 deficit midway through...

Would hate to see what Canada's transition game would look like without him (I mean, as an American, I wouldn't hate it

He's still a work in the progress, but the good are starting to heavily outweigh the bad, and that's what you want to see.lemieuxReturns wrote:If people have a problem with Letang, they are going to hate Pouliot.

He still has more poise with the puck right now than Letang will ever have. While Tang is a much more explosive player who relies on his physical gifts more than anything (but oh, what gifts they are), Pouliot gets it done more cerebrally with his vision, poise, and superb passing. He's no slouch on his feet either.

US up 1-0 on Canada. Riley Barber with a shorty as a 4 on 4 expired.

What a game by Fucale. Huge impact on the game keeping things in reach while Canada got thoroughly outplayed through the first 30-ish minutes.

Re: 2014 World Junior Championships
I watched only the third (two screens!). Great save on the breakaway but then canceled it out with a soft goal to make it 3-2. Made for a fun finish though. Hope they see each other again.

Re: 2014 World Junior Championships
if this proves anything it proves that once you get to the Quarters, NOBODY is safe.
I love how this tournament has equalized over the last 10 years. every year every major country has a good chance of taking home the Gold.

I won't say I'm for or against what happened to him after that celebration...but I'll just say, that's what happens to you when you make a spectacle of yourself in the wrong way...and that's how it is all down the line...

Re: 2014 World Junior Championships
yep, pretty much. loved it that he was the one in the box at the end as well. USA D blew a tire, plain and simple. it's not like it was the Russian's skill that got him the goal.mikey287 wrote:I won't say I'm for or against what happened to him after that celebration...but I'll just say, that's what happens to you when you make a spectacle of yourself in the wrong way...and that's how it is all down the line...

Re: 2014 World Junior Championships
Yeah, pretty good according to some accounts. They just started advertising it, though I thought Quebec McDonalds had had it for a while now...I could be wrong though.
