Team WHL vs Russia. 6pm MT Sportsnet.
If you are looking for some hockey tonight, why not watch Flames prospects Dube and Phillips play the Russians tonight?
Dube is the captain of team WHL.
The Canada/Russia series is pretty much the last chance to impress Hockey Canada Brass before the invites go out for the WJC selection camp.
Bob McKenzie just put out an article for the battle for spots on the Canadian team for the WJC:
http://www.tsn.ca/world-junior-selec...ps-up-1.907378
He has Dube as the only lock for LW (which is no surprise). Phillips battling with Tippet, Suzuki, Lind, etc for one of 2 RW spot after the locks of Raddysh and Kyrou:

The battle for right wing positions could be particularly heated. Beyond Raddysh and Kyrou, strong challenges are expected to be mounted from Tippett, if he's made available, and Vegas Golden Knight prospect Nick Suzuki of the Owen Sound Attack. Diminutive (5-foot-7, 155 pounds) Calgary Flames prospect Matthew Phillips of the Victoria Royals has been dynamic and prolific this season in the WHL and will get a long look, as will Vancouver Canuck prospect Kole Lind of Kelowna, Montreal Canadien prospect Will Bitten of the Hamilton Bulldogs and Florida Panther prospect Adam Mascherin of the Kitchener Rangers.
|
edit: and Tippett has been sent back to juniors by the Panthers.
Dube will wear 19 for Team WHL. Phillips will wear #11

Early signings are reserved for the Keegan Kanzigs of the world.

I haven't been watching the whole game, but the last period Philips didn't really look very useful outside of the offensive zone.

Dube's possession game is elite. Could see him being Backlund 2.0 someday.

No?
I'm pointing out that being tall and bad will get you signed, being short and good = prove you can play.

If you want to get old timey the adage is big players have to prove they can't play, small players have to prove they can.
And for what it's worth it 100% came across as a specific whine against the Flames, forgetting it was a previous manager who signed him.

But what about Dube's production this year. I mean, it is still over ppg, but not at the level of Philips.
