Thread: World Juniors 2023
After watching Finland's two games I can only hope they can keep up this positive trajectory. They were ghastly against Switzerland, and decent against Slovakia. They had their moments that looked really promising (especially the start to the game), and then they regressed right back into being total sh*t the next moment. It feels like it's all about confidence and momentum with this bunch...very unpredictable.

Next game is against Latvia iirc, and I gotta admit I've never been more scared to watch Finland face them as I am now, cuz Latvia has actually looked good this time out. They gave USA run for their money, and are also giving a proper challenge to Switzerland now...you know, the team that just beat us...

That being said, I'm relatively confident that if the team can keep learning from their mistakes and become better after each game, I think we can haul those much needed points home. The most important thing is to keep up the upward, positive trajectory, at least result wise.

If we can manage that, maybe Finland's gonna be the Argentina of this tournament. That's something I'm certainly wishing for lol.

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs 2022 Prospect Updates
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoopsTroops</b></div><div>Excuse my intrusion, but how do you all feel about about Alex Steeves?

I watch a fair share of Syracuse Crunch games, and this season outside of Marchenko (CBJ) Steeves has perhaps been the most impressive AHL prospect I've seen. Just wondering what the current Toronto fan opinion is on him.</div></div>

What they already said.

The biggest knock on him this year is his 5v5 play (most of his points have come on the PP) Not that it is bad, would just like to see more finish at 5v5.

Also, as Kyle Cushman has pointed out, he is more of a dump and chase guy, not something the Leafs like their guys to do. He what’d to see him carry the puck in more efficiently before taking the next step.

IMO Steeves needs to look at Trevor Moore and copy that.

I like following you updates on with the Lightning.

How has Tyson Feist looked? Thought that was a sneaking good AHL deal
