[GDT] WJC Pre-Tourney: Canada vs Belarus. 10AM MT. TSN

[sureLoss]

Man crush for Julien Gauthier growing.

[sureLoss]

Hickey with good work on that shift to help make that goal happen.

[Monahan For Mayor]

Hickey on his second shift made an excellent carry into the offensive zone and got the puck to the front of the net. Got back to the blue line held the puck in on a clear and got it deep again. Leading to a goal. Brodie like shift.

[puffnstuff]

The Belorussian giant is not very good

[Monahan For Mayor]

Hickey on PK

[Monahan For Mayor]

Belarus has a smaller Dman than Hicketts. 5"5 150...

[Kickazzflames]

Hickey plays pretty aggressive on D and takes away time and space fast. Getting lots of PK time here. Very limited so far with only 2 shifts for 5 on 5. His D partner Dermott is looking pretty solid.

He reminds me a lot of Brodie with less speed, but more physical. I really hope this kid can round out our top 4 one day.

Gio - Brodie
Hickey - Hamilton
Kylington - Andersson

Not the most physical group. What they lack in physical play, they would make up in skill and speed.

[sureLoss]

Marner tries to set up Hickey for a glorious scoring chance, but the pass was deflected away from Hickey.

[Gaudfather]

Marner sure has some skill and moves.

Unfortunately! Would have loved to see him pot that one.

[Fischy13]

Hickey looks like he has some decent size too. Sure hope he makes the team, that goes for McDonald as well. Soo much better and been so long since Flames had prospects on Team Canada. Would be great to see one be an impact player.

Belarus hasn't had a dangerous scoring chance yet. So inconclusive.

[sureLoss]

Hickey killing the 5 on 3

[sureLoss]

Belarus scores on the 5 on 3. McDonald makes a couple of good saves, but Belarus knocks in the rebound after McDonald slides out of position.

[Monahan For Mayor]

The good teams will punish us if we don't get some discipline. Too many penalties.

[Monahan For Mayor]

Hickey getting tons of shifts in the second period. Probably 2nd most play time to only Hicketts.

[Fischy13]

I don't know why but I don't get a good feeling McDonald is going to pan out. Maybe that's a good thing. I thought Irving, Ortio, Keetly, McBackup were all going to be great..
