We're gonna take some time to look at what went right and wrong last week and preview the week ahead. Well, certain that if there's one thing I'm thankful for, it's the last week is over for the Carolina Hurricanes. My Name is Alex Hart and I'm so thoroughly glad that you guys could join us today. Hopefully got plenty of exercise, ate right and stayed away from all those filthy GMO's. We hope you had a lovely week of thanksgiving. Thank you, guys, very much for joining us. I be be needles hi the puck off podcasts here on the big Bopper podcast network. You're listening to the puck off podcast on the big BUPA pod host network. That’s certainly on the table.I don't know. is watching the world junior, he knows what he’s seeing, and he’s excited and wondering if this kid (Greig) will be able to earn a spot in camp. “He’s an important piece to the organization. “The progression has been very good for him, but he’s put in the work and the staff has done a good job setting realistic goals for him. “He’s mild-mannered off the ice, but when he puts the jersey on there’s a switch that gets flipped,” said Mann. The decision will have to be made whether it’s better for him to spend the year in Belleville or play a limited role in Ottawa. He’s used his size, his physicality and he’s been the whole package for them.” He’s played a little bit on the wing on the fourth line and he’s been centre on the fourth line so he’s shown his versatility. His role has just kind of continued to grow. “Team Canada has been impressed with his approach and what his results have been. He’s been able to contribute with offensive chances, but he’s been good in all three zones. “He’s been very good and he’s done everything they’ve asked him to do.

“He’s one of those kids that made the most of his opportunity and made an impression with the coaching staff,” said Mann. He heads into the quarter-final against Switzerland on Wednesday at 7 p.m. He has one goal and three points in four games. 39 overall pick in 2021, the 20-year-old Ostapchuk has made his mark with Canada. He started out the tournament as the 13th forward and has moved into a third-line role.

One league executive described Kleven as a “beast” and noted if he played for Team Canada we’d be comparing him to Dion Phaneuf. He’s a bright kid and he understands what it takes to improve and do his job.” That’s a good sign because that can be challenge for players. “He doesn’t allow himself to get away from what he does well. He also knows where he wants to improve his game and you’re seeing improvements in all areas, which is very positive. “As time progresses, and he knows what his strengths are, there will be elements of his game that will improve. “You know what you’re getting: He’s just a big kid that’s getting stronger,” Mann said. The 6-foot-4 Kleven has been a force to be reckoned with during this tourney. He’ll face off against Hamara and Team Czechia on Wednesday. He’s got the skill set and it’s high end.” He has the package, but we knew when we picked him it was going to be a little bit longer process for him. “We’re hoping that his offensive upside will push on somebody who’s already in the lineup. “Hopefully he has a strong camp and we’ll see where it goes,” Mann said. Ideally, the Senators would like Jarventie to make the decision to send him down difficult. He’s a young player and he’s playing at a higher level in the AHL, so we’re hoping this stint with the Finnish team will help get him ready and get him moving in the right direction for camp.” “What we’re hoping is that as he grows older, he brings some of the consistency to doing that. For a big man, he can manoeuvre the puck in the tight areas pretty well. His skill with the puck is extremely good and maybe underrated sometimes.

“There’s not many that shoot the puck as well as he does. “Roby scores and he leads the power play,” Mann said. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Manage Print Subscription / Tax Receipt.
