Could be wrong but thought I heard on the radio yesterday JG was back with Owen Sound since he had just returned from injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Might just be one of those kids who simply wills and works his way to the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuporbust Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Said on 1040 he is impatient and wants to play in the NHL as soon as possible. Me thinking he still has a long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me thinking he still has a long way to go. Very long ways. He's got some raw talent, but hes a bit smaller and still makes his own job harder than it has to be. Tim Thomas comes to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait till he's the starter next year...

DeNiro Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Is Hart too old for the tournament next year? If so Dipietro will get his chance then. Better he keeps playing than being a backup. Who remembers the backup on a good medal team anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I feel so sorry for the kid. But I love his team spirit. I hope he wins the Cup with Vancouver. https://www.bardown.com/an-emotional-michael-dipietro-had-some-heartwarming-parting-words-for-team-canada-after-getting-cut-1.945632 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I love DiPietro and I was really pulling for him. He’s such a passionate kid and you have to appreciate his competitive spirit and the way he battles. As well as the class and character he’s showing in response to what must be heartbreaking news. But that all said, when I try to be truly objective, I can’t really argue with the reasoning behind cutting him in favour of Hart and Point. I mean, all else being equal, you go with the older, more experienced goalie: Carter Hart is 19 Colton Point is 19 Michael DiPietro is 18 All else being equal, you go with the taller goaltender: Carter Hart is 6’2” Colton Point is 6’4” Michael DiPietro is 6’0” All else being equal, you go with the goalie with the most impressive stats: Carter Hart: 0.961 Sv% 1.32 GAA (WHL) Colton Point: 0.938 Sv% 1.90 GAA (NCAA) Michael DiPietro: 0.917 Sv% 2.67 GAA (OHL) None of the above are equal. DiPietro is the youngest, shortest, and statistically worst of the three. He’s a great kid and a very good prospect. But he just doesn’t stack up well enough against the other two goalies. He would have needed to absolutely blow them out of the water at selection camp for him to have any real chance of making it past the final cuts. But there’s always next year. And hopefully, DiPietro will enter his next WJC camp as one of the older guys (at 19) and posting some of the best stats among U20 goalies that season. He’ll probably still be one of the shortest of the bunch, but hopefully he’ll be so far in front in all the other areas that he’ll be the obvious choice to backstop Canada for the next tournament. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
