2020 World Juniors

Bettman seems to be on the far left of many of these issues including fighting. The nhl has a zero tolerance toward racism. Bettman being a Jewish-American might have something to do with his mindset regarding any racial matter.

Although, he seems to have his mind made up on the concussion issue, just protecting the owners pocketbooks in case of any lawsuites.

 

Spencer Knight has won 9 games in a row and only given up 9 goals in that stretch. Heating up at the right time, assuming he'll carry the load again for the US squad.
Team USA announcing the squad later today I think.

 

John Van Bielsbrouck 2

 

Woll had a good game the other night, stopped 41 of 42 shots.

 

That’s good because I know he’s had a rough start.

 

He’s the GM

 

I didn't know, that, I was just saying JVB because he's a Panthers goalie from the US.

 

Nick Robertson, 20 goals in 21 games, Leafs pick

 

Boldy noticeably absent. He’s had a tough start to his college career.

 

1 G, 2 A in 15 games.

 

Welcome to team Canada Joe Veleno.

 

Nice goalie situation for the USA: Spencer Knight, Isaiah Saville, and Dustin Wolf. I've had the pleasure of watching both Knight & Wolf and they seem capable of stealing a game on any given night. Wolf is smaller than what's in fashion these days. I think Calgary drafted a good one there in a late round. Of course Knight went in the first, and I'll be very surprised if he's not an NHL starter in a few years.

 

Canada cuts its roster down from 31 to 25, two more to go.

 

Out of 4 NCAA players, only one made the team.
Jacob Bernard-Docker

Politics?

 

Dunno. Canadian politics doesn't compute to me.

Connor Zary cut by Canada. He's a mid-first draft prospect from the WHL. I think he's going to make his future NHL team very happy. I think his getting cut points to how deep Canada is.

 

No love for the NCAA
Of Canada’s 31-man camp roster, four players came from the NCAA. Among them, only defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker made it out in good standing, but he was a lock to begin with. Alex Newhook’s exclusion was surprising: he scored Canada’s only goal on Thursday and should have been credited for tipping in Dilberatore’s shot on Wednesday, making him one of Canada’s more dangerous scoring threats. Was he good enough to be on the final roster? Yes. Is Canada worse off without him? No, but that’s because with Canada’s abundance of talented centermen, the spots on both wings became tougher to snag. Newhook was a victim of the numbers game, but he’ll be a top-six threat next year when the 2021 WJC heads to western Canada. Dylan Holloway also had some good moments and was regarded as one of Canada’s hardest-working forwards, but with Byfield, Lafreniere, Connor McMichael and Liam Foudy on the left side already, there simply wasn’t room for him. Again, we’ll see Holloway next year. Diliberatore’s scratch on Thursday was surprising when you consider he was the only player scratched over the two days to get the boot, but he didn’t play his way onto the team, either. He wasn’t bad, but he just didn’t stand out.

 

Not Canadian politics, Canadian hockey politics, the system.

 

Alex Newhook has played wing and center this year. He got hosed.

 

Mark Hunter is an OHL guy, plus Newhook is from out east on the rock. Seems Hunter might've already had his mind made up.
