Not sure I'd agree with putting a goalie on the ballot whose team didn't make the gold medal game, but the other picks look solid.

Colin White >>>>>>>> Barzal. That is all.

That rhymes dash! And you know it rhymes. Admit it!!

Obviously I was joking with the post but I haven't been crazy about Barzal's game. I find that far too often he does some great stick handling in order to get himself into a not-so-great spot on the ice. Maybe that's just me though. :noidea:

18 year old (now 20 year old) Sam Bennett has the same problem with too much stick-handling - The difference is you can get away with it at the junior level and it looks pretty impressive, but savvy defenders at the NHL level won't be fooled.

My thoughts exactly. Barzal has some adjustments to make.

I like Dahlen's game a lot.

Sens PP in 2020:

Karlsson - Chabot
Dahlen -White - Stone.

:D:D:yes:

Flames prospect Oliver Kylington named player of the game for Sweden - He looks like a younger version of TJ Brodie, good offensive instincts, needs to clean up some flaws in his defensive game though.

Canada up 2 zip and Dubois takes a really stupid penalty. God, I hate that. On a good note, Hart is looking solid.
