Exlaxchronicles 415 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 S 64 WJC IMPACT PLAYERS ========================================== The World Juniors are getting set to start soon and we all have our favorites to come out on top. I'm gonna focus on some players that I think may be major contributors to their perspective teams, regardless of the clubs outcome. Its all subjective, and I'm mainly writing this shit for the TPE so if you wanna leave comments + or - it's all good. TEAM WORLD ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've decided to only write about hockey players that have spent time in the big league so with that said Team World's defence man and my line mate Mountain Thunderfist comes to mind. His name is fitting as he's big as a mountain and hits hard checking wise and fist wise. MT is a larger poor man's version of Kiaskov but still has a lot if time to improve as he's young. Unfortunately he's not as good looking and loaded with charm and charisma like his diminutive line mate but we'll forgive him on that. Whatever the outcome for Team World you can expect MT to anchor the blue line defensively and play the physical game he has established himself for throughout the VHL. TEAM USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well the player that I think may have an impact on Team USA is none other than Ryan Sullivan Jr. He's a big fucker with good size and he can move his ass pretty well on the ice. JR. also has some good offensive and defensive skills to go along with his well rounded game. You can also expect a solid two way game from this guy along with this physical play. Thus far he's tallied 2 goals and 31 points in 41 games with NYA. Pretty decent numbers so I imagine he'll be on the scoreboard during the tournament. Expect him to be one of the leaders on Team USA. TEAM ASIA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not a lot going on with this club as they'll be hard pressed to go far in the tournament but who knows anything can happen. Anyhooz my pick for the player to take the reigns and lead the team nowhere fast is Dylan Nguyen. Honorable mention goes to the player with a fuct up first name in Kisshan Shan. Dylan will be lining up on the first defensive pairing with a player named Bald Guy ( Guess he's bald ). Nguyen had two point per game seasons in the minors before he was called up. VHL wise he projects to be a solid SAHD with about a 40 points per season. I see him anchoring the blue line with some help from his Reign teammate Shan. In their defence they have a pretty stacked Riga team offensively and defensively so they really haven't been able to showcase what they're capable of. Look for Shan to compliment Nguyen offensively. I think Dylan steps up with Shan right behind and these two will receive a lot of ice time on an already anaemic club. TEAM EUROPE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think team Euro and USA will be chasing Canada's tails this tourney and one of the players from Europe who will be leading the charge is 6'4" Lando Baxter who plays with shitty ( Still hatin ) Calgary of the VHL. On a club that's not doin so well this year, aw who are we kiddin... they fuckin suck right now. Lando is actually playing fairly well. The guy's got a set of wheels for a bigger man and he's pretty solid both on offence and defence as attested by his 31 points in 42 games. He's also at -17 +/- but that also reflects how shitty his team is at the moment. He just needs to be more physical to make his game more affective. I expect Baxter to step it up in the wjc as he has pro level experience and will bring that to the up n coming games. He should come out as one of the leaders on this Euro club. TEAM CANADA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Without a doubt one of the most talented players in this wjc tournament is center Scott Shawinganen. I believe he will be one of the most dominant players in these junior games. Scott has been at a point per game clip since his inaugural season last year, and he's in line for another 70 + point season this year. Don't be surprised if he leads the tourney in points. And with the support and talent this team has behind him, Canada are the favorites to repeat as this years wjc once again.

I for some reason kept thinking Dahlberg was on Helsinki. Now don't ask me how that happened, but since I'm in my fifties I'm going to attribute it to a senior moment.

leafssteen 50 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Review: A great look into the world junior teams and what they have to offer. Well written article with a great topic choice. I found it was interesting to read and even had some humor in there. Some color would have been nice but not necessary! I think this years world juniors should be a interesting one! Great job!
