thewookie1 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 Poor Power, literally waving his stick in the air half of the last 5 minutes and no one gave him a shot. Quote
K-9 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 Up until his first two games in the Olympics, I’ve only seen Power in the Michigan highlights posted here and his brief appearance in the World Juniors. Everything I’ve heard about how well he moves seems to be true and he plays with a poise that belies his young age. 4 Quote

French Collection Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 I read a good point on Twitter. Canada was beaten by a bunch of NCAA stars while the best goalie in the NCAA is in the press box for Canada. Free Levi! 6 Quote

On 1/26/2022 at 3:19 PM, DarthEbriate said: Judge Levi by his size, do you? For Pasquale, he's the veteran mentor, but every KHL goalie's stats are wildly inflated compared to the NHL. Mediocre! Tomkins... seems like his name is missing a P. Meh. Levi is the lifeblood of Canada! The syrup of the big red leaf! They remember the WJCs and how he willed them to the (silver) final. Expand You don't expect to eat the Olympic pancakes without putting on your maple syrup! 1 Quote

Norcal Posted February 12, 2022 Report Posted February 12, 2022 I hate the white numbers on the USA jerseys when the game is in play but they look nice otherwise. Canada should wear white with a red leaf at all times imo. 1 Quote

In my eye it would be hard to beat Dutch speedskater gold medalist Jutta Leerdam, but I may be missing some criteria. Edit: correction... It was Irene Schouten that won gold, not Jutta. Expand My bad, I misspelled her name apparently its Stefania Constantini She's deadly accurate in mixed curling and led her team to an undefeated gold medal alongside Amos Mosaner. She hit shot after shot in every match and is a pleasant young woman. Quote

Expand If not for the possible repercussions regarding getting Portillo in house & the likelihood it lowers the odds of getting a competent current NHL netminder, would e fine w/ his addition to the team depth. Can't see it happening w/ the Sabres already having 3 touted prospects about his age. He has to have better opportunities available to him should he continue his excellent Olympic play. Quote

Expand I've said before that Buffalo should bring him in but I could see how he would be hesitant. He has the opportunity to be patient since he has a professional job already and should still be able to continue to develop and grow his game there. How long can he hang in so far from home is the only question. On 2/12/2022 at 9:06 PM, French Collection said: I would give him a shot for depth. Would this hurt the signing of Portillo?

If you want to make an ugly jersey, fine, it’s a stylistic choice, but you have to be absolutely clueless to make a jersey with numbers that are extremely difficult to read. Nice that you think it looks good or whatever, but no one can tell who anyone is out there because the numbers are almost unreadable. Inexcusable. Both Canada and USA suffer from this. Quote
