Mario Ferraro left the game with an injury as the San Jose Sharks lost 3-1 to the Colorado Avalanche. With Ferraro’s absence, young defenseman Henry Thrun and Ty Emberson had some of their best games in teal. Discuss how this game is a building block game for Emberson and Thrun as they continue their young NHL careers. Then, look at how the defense kept the Avalanche on the perimeter of the zone, how the forward lines struggled to generate offense, and how Kaapo Kahkonen continues to play well. Finally, check in on the Sharks prospects at the World Juniors and why it’s not time to panic on Will Smith’s tournament.

First of all, happy new years.
23:48 "Assuming US and Sweden both move on we'll have a big game between those 2." I'm pretty sure that can't happen until the medal rounds.
From the WJC site: "In the semi-finals the best-ranked team – criteria: 1) placement in the group, 2) points in the preliminary round, 3) goal difference in the preliminary round, 4) goals scored in the preliminary round, 5) seeding coming into the tournament – will play against the lowest-ranked semi-finalist. The 2nd-best ranked semi-finalist will play the 3rd-best ranked semi-finalist. "
That sounds to me like teams are reseeded after the quarterfinals regardless of their group and then do 1v4, 2v3. The US is the top seed with 11 points and Sweden is the 2nd seed with 10 points so there's no way for them to play in the semis. Then again, I haven't slept other than a 15 minute power nap in over a day, so I could be misunderstanding things.
Don't want to sound like a jerk but that's not an excuse for Smith. When Makar played at WJC he was at the bench and I think he made it to the 1st line? My point is there are guys in the US team who were picked later and has less points in the NCAA and are still able to deliver more points than Smith. Usually the top tier players has more than 1 point per game. I'm not panicking but it doesn't look good and definitely makes me worried.
Any insight about the nature of Ferraro's injury? Is he out long term or day to day?
Love the channel and all the work you do from Portland! On another note, I was able to watch the Winterhawks last night and I really enjoyed watching Luca Cagnoni dictate the game last night. Not a great stats night for him (Vancouver's goalie was absolutely standing on his head) but he definitely made a massive impact in keeping the game in the offensive zone throuhgout.
Hey jd how concerned are you with guys like duclair, barbonov, Hoffman and some of the guys the team is looking to trade and their value?
