Despite the score, Leivo, Percy and Finn played good last night, Percy shut down Yakupov all night, good to see.

Both teams played very conservative after the quick strike games in the Q. The OHL's defense is top notch again. Zadorov was the big difference for the Russians. I know the announcers were making excuses saying the Russian team they field is their U-20 WJC roster but that's bullpoop. Zadorov is their elite defender and he didn't play against the Q neither did Yakimov, Grigorenko, Zykov, Zlobin didn't play against the O.

Gonna be another good show at the WJC's this year and I hope Canada stops keeping our young superstars off for poop returnees because Sweden, Finland, Russia and the always great chemistried Americans are going to be hard as nails.

Excuse me if I wasn't overly excited by Nigel Dawes when he was in Hamilton.

It was pretty conservative game.
A one minute break down cost them the game....too bad.
I really like Percy's play and Finn has been catching my eye the 3 games I've seen him play.
He's not bad.

Who needs poopty players like Hopkins and MacKinnon when you can bring in the Cormier's, Della Rovere's and Tim Brent's of the world?

Nothing fancy about Percy, smart, positioning is very good and makes the safe play, he didn't let Yakupov have much room in the d zone, really impressed with his play.

Holy Crap. Easy there fella.You're getting soft in your old age. That's nearly a positive comment.Go have a cold shower.

Did anyone actually watch the Marlies game last night (was it even on TV?)?

I'm just wondering how Ranger looks. Yeah, I know he got an assist, but how does he look on the ice?

He has to be released first.... And I'm not 100% he will be.

Haven't seen him play since the first game, I know Eakins likes his play, other than that, I don't know, Thanks for The Gardener suggestion, we are reading The Secret Garden to her right now.

Not if the Leafs draft him.

We'll immediately call him the next Gretzky, and Leafs Nation will have him starting at 1st line centre by June 29th.

He then will not score on his first three shifts in his first pre-season game, and the pendulum will lurch violently to the "He Sucks!" side.

Steve Simmons will then write a column on how MLSEL should have seen the warning signs and not drafted him.

And then Damien Cox will lament how Canadian minor hockey ruined this kid by teaching systems instead of just letting kids play.

Howard Berger will then pen a column on Berger Bytes (read by no one) blaming Leafs fans.

And then MLSEL will raise the price of sushi.

I feel sorry for the kid.

I really do.
