Miss not on this team! He’ll probably be #1 NHL draft pick! End of discussion.

Yeah put him on the east coast and he’s the goat.

If a 17 year old Juraj Slafkovsky does not play at the Beijing Olympics, he doesn’t get selected 1st overall.

Ma…Massive you say?

One of the best skaters in the game.

The thing with parekh and misa is they were both big parts of saginaw winning the memorial cup. Theyve shown up in big games

There’s also a lot of politics that go with this tournament. Always has been always will be. Guys that shouldn’t be on end up on. Or take into account the four nations roster and how there was reporting that guys didn’t get chosen simply because they chose not to play in the world championships after losing in the playoffs before

I frogot what that seebrook??? Not correct spelling, goal did me. Thanks for the nightmares

Seider is my boy! Hes got that big D detroit needs right now! I loved when stevie made that pick. We just need to trafe Larkin🫢oh no i said it! Love ya but you gotta go

Hmmm... The Detroit comparison had not aged well...

No hage either

Love the background golden eye music

european teams have succeeded due to chemistry the past 10 years so i think Canada might be onto something

I guess my Dennis Godla rookie card won’t be worth anything after all. 😉

Not sure what Dave Cameron is doing. Cutting some of the defenceman they didn’t take reminds me of the year Cale Makar was the 7th D-Man on his world junior team. I remember Ray Ferraro saying during one of the games that they need to put him on the ice more because every time he’s out there Canada gets a scoring chance. Looks like they have more of a grinding hard working team that might struggle to score in the medal round. The one thing to remember though is that there is no Russia and team USA has no elite players this year. Canada should win pretty easy since they are also playing at home.

Maar, hughes and these kids now, tryna stealin O-MEN's food plates these days! 👽👿😏

Buffalo Sabres? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

As usual. Great info and great video. Enjoy the WJC Rob!

Russia has a weak turnout.

Canada Cup.

Also i dont feel like its canada is loosing their edge but the rest of the world have all grown leaps and bounds in the last 2 decades its become alot more poppular and competitive

invaluable

MOM ROB UPLOADED AGAIN!!!

Parekh is not good defensively. Watched him a lot and was never impressed with that aspect of his game. Really good puck handler, but I think he’s highly overrated. Takes careless penalties often as well.

Sounds like Team Canada(junior) has the US Mens Basketball team problem. Find players who can play together, instead of just the best.

Does Gretzy teach you how to gamble on your team?

Hockey Psychology

I don’t get it.

This might sound really simplistic, but my solution would be to make sure your "Superstar" players can play on both sides of the puck. That way they are still useful and can contribute with less ice time. If you put Crosby on the 4th line for 10 minutes of ice time, he can still help his team, or at the very least he doesnt hurt them. At least thats been the typical approach a long time now with Team Canada

GWG is a tough stat to use for comparisons. How much does team quality affect it? If you are a top goal scorer on a bad team, then there is a better chance that the rare win will result in a GWG for you. But you will also score in more losing efforts. Flip side, if you are a good goal scorer on a top team, you have more wins to fish for GWGs, but those game winners will be spread among more scorers. Hard to say if you should or shouldn't cancel out certain players because they are on crap NHL teams. Not to mention using scoring rates from a tournament that has at most 7-8? games per team. Sample size. Still, very interesting vid.

All these comments from armchair GMs are FCKNG hilarious. Not has any pertinent information on any of these players. Homers with opinions is all and as mentioned, is truly funny to read.

I can’t wait to see Parekh playing for us in Calgary! The future of the Flames is bright! Conny absolutely won the 2024 draft.

People should be fired for Zayne Parekh not being on the team. FOR REAL. They should never manage another national team again.

commentator at the start sounds like Glenn Quagmire.

massive?

Was Lekkerimaki mvp last year?

9:13 fuckin’ All Star

Best rob quote, “and after looking at the numbers I would discover something truly shocking”

Well done, Rob! You deliver amazing hockey content consistently. People know your name all over the globe. I’d say that’s a remarkable accomplishment given that you missed out on your pro hockey career. The backup plan worked out quite well. Thanks for your authenticity bro. 🤘🏽

Jeremy Roenick had 566 NHL goals (Reg season & playoffs) and almost 25% were game winners.

I have to question the methodology of clutchness having a relationship to GWG. If you score to make it 5-0 then the other team scores four goals to make it 5-4, was your goal a clutch goal or did it just happen to be the GWG? How about if you score two minutes into a game to make it 1-0, then your goalie gets the shutout? I know it's a much more difficult stat to look up, but I'd use something like goals that change the lead (tie/take the lead) in the last few minutes/overtime.

I had a buddy play in the tournament a few years back. Says that the decisions from line construction to player selection is super political and will usually favour players that have coaches from that same league. For example WHL coaches selecting more WHL players instead of the best players.

So what is the massive problem for team Canada?

Are you insane calling players who played over 1000 NHL games "Goons", and comparing them to Rempe...Your clueless.

Don't worry Canada you're going to be annexed pretty soon by the US anyways!!

We don't have the goaltending this year. I'm not certain any of this will matter but point taken that Canada couldn't afford any blips anywhere else this year and Miso and Yak not making is suspect.

Only Team Canada could screw a guy in his draft pick year! The fans want to see the best players. The best players can play with anybody and help improve everybody on the ice. Pick better coaches!!!

Parekh is a defensive liability. Hes all offense and takes stupid penalties.

No one cares about world juniors lmao

Conner Bedard was gonna play in the all star but he was injured
