On the flip side, I don't see a way Corrado is cut from this team. If so, scrap the tryouts all together and make the team based on league play and reputation!
Dumba seems nervous or something. He's just completely lost in the defensive zone in these games. Before that 1st goal was scored, he had no clue which guy to mark which almost resulted in a great chance against.
He's a little bit more noticeable in other areas in this game, so at least there's that.
Right now Wotherspoon, Sproul and Dumba really have to have great 2 and 3 periods if they want to make the team. Still think there's a chance Dumba makes it over Corrado but right now Wotherspoon and Sproul have no chance.
i heard fast isnt playing for anyone he is just around and they asked him to play also another pro on forward who looks like he retired or something like that
Their first shift to start the game they were hemmed in their own zone for the whole shift - although CIS didn't really generate any scoring chances.
With the string of penalties the defensive pairings became jumbled, with Corrado playing with Dumba for a shift, and later playing on the powerplay without Reinhart.
Coarrado blasted a Dumba pass on net, but Binnington was able to stop it.
As for the others, Wotherspoon made a good keep-in on a bloop clearing attempt at the offensive blueline that resulted in a goal for Canada.
I would really like to know what the coaches are trying to evaluate today.
Are they comparing guys like McNeil-Camara as defensive players? Or do they want to see which of Drouin/Shinkaruk can play at the bottom of the lineup?
At this point, they must know what Drouin is as good offensively as anyone there so they must be evaluating him in other ways. Or maybe they're weighing the physicality of McNeil against the offense of Drouin, which is a whole different ballgame.
Right now Wotherspoon, Sproul and Dumba really have to have great 2 and 3 periods if they want to make the team. Still think there's a chance Dumba makes it over Corrado but right now Wotherspoon and Sproul have no chance.
That would be dumba if Matt made it over Frankie.
