Rimpinen mvp

Rinkisen ura tulee oleen aikamoinen...

So canada best Finland 4-0, lost to Latvia, USA beat Latvia, then lost to Finland?

Lots of great play in this game !

This has been a GREAT tournament so far

Torille!

Go Finland

What a game

So nice. Hyvä Suomi!!

It’s great to see this Team USA lose👍 Sadly they will go on and win the gold😔 Go Finland go🇫🇮

As a swede, GG switzerland!

A projectable 6'2 lefty top 6 center with iq, details, defensive ability, from the Q? Habs will be all over him in the 6-10 range which it looks like they will be picking in.

Such an inspiring team fr, especially considering how small Latvia is (1.8M people). Hopefully this can inspire more young latvians to play hockey. The russian ban also helps them stay in the top division, and they honestly belong there this year. There are at least 4 players on that team that could reach the NHL (for at least 1 game, not necessarily full-time NHLers), that's crazy. I love Ryan Leonard.

Man Latvia’s goalie is something else

Congrats Latvia!

Sarauj Latvija!

Wow!

I just can’t believe they didn’t give Jett luchanko a shot after beating him 1 on 1 short handed. End of the day gotta give it to the Latvia goalie he played his ass off. Canada will bounce back tho no worries

Ахахахахах лохи😂 Где-то в сторонке во все горло угарают Сеннекке ,Якемчак,Кристалл

This was insane. Go Latvia 🇱🇻.

Let’s look at same basic facts here: Dave Cameron is 1 for 3 at the WJC for Canada. He’s part of the most infamous collapse in WJC history when Canada, who, in the gold medal game, was up 3-0 heading into the third period, in the end, lost 5-3 to Russia. Then, he, somehow, found a way to squeak by Finland in the 2022 WJC gold medal final, where Mason McTavish pulled off both an undisciplined give away, and the save of the century. Fast forward to last year, and we have this same coach playing Fraser Minten, the same Fraser Minten who had an eye popping 48 points in 43 games in the WHL, playing 22 minutes in an elimination game over the 1st overall pick, Macklin Celebrini, the same Celebrini who is a point per game this year in the NHL, and who won the Hobey Baker as the top NCAA hockey player in his draft year. In the end, Canada was eliminated in the quarter finals last year, losing 3-2 to Czechia, failing to even medal. Taking a look at this year’s roster construction, the fact that Tanner Howe not only made the team, but was considered a lock is mystifying. This is the same Tanner Howe he had 1 assist in 7 games for Canada at the U-18s in ’23 and zero points in 4 games at the U-18s in ’22. The same Tanner Howe who, playing alongside Connor Bedard in Bedard’s draft year, produced 85 points, 36 goals in 67 games; to 77 points, 28 goals in 68 games in his draft year, without Bedard; to 16 points in 16 games this year, two years removed from playing on the coattails of Bedard. Even in Canada’s 7-1 blowout win over the Swiss a few days ago, according to Dave Cameron, the one thing he, Dave Cameron, took away from that game was Tanner Howe’s backchecking. Yes, backchecking is important, but maybe Cowan’s hat trick should have been the highlight. The issue is not Tanner Howe per se. It’s more about why does Team Canada keep coming back to this guy as a coach? This is the same coach who would rather have Fraser Minten out in the third period, over a phenom like Macklin Celebrini, in an elimination game, like last year against Czechia. This is the same coach that had Gavin McKenna penciled in as the 13th forward against the Swiss and Sweden. Had it not been for some injury and maintenance calls to forwards up the roster, McKenna might still be the 13th forward. So the question begs: why Cameron specifically? His coaching record is dismal at the NHL level. Coached 2 seasons for Ottawa in 2015 and 2016; finished 4th in the Atlantic, got bounced in the 1st round against Montreal. Didn’t even qualify for the playoffs the next year. His teams have never won anything at the OHL level. Dave Cameron the coach, at both the junior level and the professional level, are substandard. But what about Dave Cameron the player? Well, there’s not much going on there either. He played on some of the worst NHL rosters in NHL history. The 81-82 Colorado Rockies finished dead last in the league, where Cameron scored 23 points in 66 games, good for 10th in team scoring on arguably the worst team in NHL history. The 82-83 Devils finished 3rd last in the NHL that year. Cameron scored 9 points in 35 games, good enough for 20th in team scoring. The 83-84 Devils finished 2nd last in the NHL, but not for a lack of effort. No. They were bested only by the most infamous tank job in NHL history, pulled off by the Pittsburgh Penguins who, for their efforts, were rewarded with Mario Lemieux. Cameron scored 21 points in 67 games in his final NHL season, good enough for 12th in team scoring. So, when you sum in all up, Cameron is a career plug, both at the coaching and player level, it seems. This explains the fetishization of plugs like Fraser Minten, playing over Macklin Celebrini, and his inclination towards hard working back checkers like Tanner Howe, over clearly more talented and deserving players like Michael Misa, or Carter Yakemchuk or Beckett Sennecke. Gavin McKenna, the most talented player on Team Canada, who lead Canada to gold at the U-18s in 24’, scoring a hat trick in the gold medal game against the United States, will likely get the Celebrini treatment this year as well. Cameron cannot seem to accept that his brand of hard-working grit, and hard-working back checkers, in favor of rolling a 4 line offensive juggernaut, in favor of the outdated and outmoded concept of the top 6, bottom 6 roster construction does not apply to a country like Team Canada and the sheer offensive prowess they could exert over its opponents. In short, this is why his teams, at all levels, reflected in his own career as a short-lived journeyman plugger, who played for some of the worst NHL teams in NHL history, are why Canada has and continues to fail and there is nothing to suggest that this won't continue to be the case.

Sick game

10g, none for buium despite playing Almost half the game

Oliver Moore scratch?

Is he purely a right winger?

welcome to montreal bae u will fit good with demidov

Sasha Boisvert currently leads his team in goals as a freshman

Merci pour l'excellente analyse! Great job as usual. Do you think when he gains muscle mass (quite thin at 6'2", 172lb), this could help improve his top speed, explosiveness and perhaps his offensive performance as a whole?

8:57 the red cheek intangible. I'm convinced!

Is that really what a 6.5 skating looks like? His acceleration seemed pretty good. On more than one of the highlights he really seemed fast. I figured it would have been 7 or more. What aspects of his skating do you think he needs to improve? Great video as always. It seems like this kid has great potential. If the draft were today would he make it past 8th? Center with some size who can clearly win draws. Along with all his other tools. It's going to be hard for some teams to ignore.

Great analysis! Is he in your Top-10?

W

The names on the video bar are something else 😅Ryan Backer

The quick hands/adjustments he makes in tight are insane, he’s so damn dangerous around the net

Axel sandin pelika is way to low

he will fit so good with demidov 🥰

В Детройт бистяру🙏🏻

I could see the Hawks taking him at 1 or 2 Martone is the profile they absolutly lack..

YESSSS !!! THANK YOU for that, bluechip !!! PLEASE give us the SAMS kind of : “ALL points thus far this season“ Highlights type of video For… PORTER. MARTONE !!!!!

Habs won’t get this guy Nashville needs a center. But Desnoyers or McQueen could be Elite second line guys

is Misa GREAT on faceoffs ?

Thanks for the video! Chicago needs this guy 🙏 (or Misa)

Martone to the hawks plz

Детройту нужны такие креативные габаритные игроки🙏🏻

My Scouting Report = Skating = 7/10 Shooting = 8/10 Passing = 9/10 Puckhandling = 8/10 Hockey Sense = 9/10 Physical = 8/10 Upside = 1st Line RW Floor = 2nd Line RW NHL Comp = Sam Bennett.

I see a right handed Rantanen, whereas Slaf is closer to Nichushkin. It would be super fun to have both lol.

Schaefer will end up #1. He's an all around stud good at everything. #1 D.

Between portone and misa I hope one of them ends up in San Jose

Was looking forward to this, merci!
