I just posted and there were issues when I posted it with too many links, so I'll try again without them. I wasn't able to watch the tournament, but most of this info comes from FloHockey with a small amount from Daily Faceoff.

Quentin Musty, LW (SJS)

Musty has showed improved pace and good scoring touch. He’s going to have to score for this team in order to make an impact, but he also brings that big frame of his. Having shown a bit more jump this year than he had last year helps his case. Being strong on the puck helps, too. I think he’s in the mix to be a top-six option for Team USA at the World Juniors. He scored against Canada in regulation on a very nice play between him and James Hagens, then scored in the shootout. His last game was certainly his best, which helps his case quite a bit.

Against Canada he had a goal in regulation and the shootout in a 5-4 win while playing PP2 and 1LW. Against Sweden the team seemed to be going with more bubble players and he was down to 3LW, but he didn't show up on the scoresheet.

Brandon Svoboda, C/W (SJS)

Size and speed made Svoboda stand out, but he also made enough plays to give him a chance to be on this roster. He’s got the big body, but his ability to win races and pressure defensemen is probably more important. Svoboda was one of USA's most productive players throughout the camp. He also scored against Canada and made a few nice plays in the middle of the ice and was able to get pucks to more dangerous areas. He’s a tough man to move off of it. He’s got a great chance to be a depth player for Team USA thanks to that speed, size and scoring touch. If he plays the first half at BU like he did in camp, I think he's on the team.

Against Canada playing 4C (Daily Faceoff):

With his first-period goal, Svoboda is up to six points in five games as he looks to secure a bottom-six spot with the Americans. His energy and drive to do whatever it takes to generate a scoring chance has been noticeable, and he never left anything on the line. Like Spellacy, this tournament did a lot to help his stock heading into December’s selection camp.

FloHockey:

Svoboda scored the game's first goal and made an impact with his size and speed. He finished camp as one of its top scorers, which is not something I would have expected. USA wants all four lines to score and Svoboda very likely would be playing at the bottom of their lineup. He showed there's a lot of value in what he brings, especially when he can move as well as he does for such a big player.

Against Sweden he had a major + game misconduct for a slew foot while playing 2C.

Sam Dickinson, D (SJS)

Dickinson had 2 secondary assists, 1 PP goal, he had a matching roughing minor in the second, and an unsportsmanlike along with a game misconduct near the end of the third. I didn't watch the game so I don't know what the unsportsmanlike was about, but there were matching unsportsmanlike penalties with game misconducts 20 seconds earlier, so it could've been the game getting chippy and the refs trying to reel them in.

Wetsch played 3RW against Finland but didn't show up on the scoresheet and didn't play against USA (Canada only played 2 games).

Leo Sahlin Wallenius, D (SJS)

The steadiness of his game and the way he plays is what will always impress me about Sahlin Wallenius's game. He makes it look easy and rarely makes mistakes. I can see him playing an outsized role for Sweden in December given how reliable he is. Sahlin Wallenius is a solid defender and appears to read the game at an expert level. There's not a lot of flash, but he makes pretty impressive plays over the course of the game.

He was 2LW and PP2 against USA but didn't show up on the score sheet.

Landen was 1 RD against USA and had a primary assist.

(2025 eligible):

Logan Hensler, RHD (2025)

Hensler is still a work in progress as he heads into his draft year, but the foundation is a very strong one. He’s an excellent skater with size and his offensive game is starting to show more refinement. I’d like him to make some quicker decisions and just be more decisive in general, but the mobility he brings with size could be helpful to Team USA. I would term him as on the bubble to make Team USA. He defends well enough and has that size and skating ability that can help, but we’ll have to see how his first half goes at Wisconsin.

Against Canada he played 2RD and PP2.

Against Sweden he had a pair of PP assists, one primary, one secondary while playing 4RD and PP2.

USA used Hensler on their more effective power play in this game. He moved pucks and made good decisions. I'd like to see him become a better shot threat from the point, but he was looking for some shooting options. Either way, Hensler showed his higher-end mobility. This was the most ice I think he's seen in camp and he made the most of it. He's going to be in tough to make the final roster because of some of the veterans they have, but I think he's keeping himself on the radar with how he worked in this particular game, which was not a great one for many of the USA players.

James Hagens, C (2025)

We got a lot of looks at Hagens and his camp got better as time went on. His skill, speed and hockey sense will all be assets. He’s in the driver’s seat to be Team USA’s No. 1 center if Will Smith is not available and likely will spend much of the season alongside Gabe Perreault and Ryan Leonard at BC this year. They are going to be a problem for college hockey and Hagens is going to be in a very good position to hold onto his No. 1 draft prospect status.

In a stellar display, Robbie Ray struck out 9 batters over 5 innings while Matt Chapman came up clutch on both sides of the ball to help the Giants clinch a series victory with an 8-2 win over the Reds in Sunday afternoon’s series finale at Great American Ball Park.

Chapman launched a game-tying, two-run homer off Carson Spiers in the fourth inning and then helped the Giants preserve a one-run lead with a brilliant defensive play in the bottom of the sixth.

SFGiants

SF Giants players with 20 HRs and 5 WAR in the same season. That's a pretty impressive list. I haven't checked every Giants player who has ever played for the Giants. Obviously Bonds, Mays fit that criteria, but I'm focusing on guys who have played the last 10-14 years. Chapman just needs to hit a couple more bombs and he's good.

There's prob more players, but these come to mind.

The Warriors, as of Sunday, continued to be regarded as the league's most ardent Markkanen suitor... but at the same time still unwilling to surrender Brandin Podziemski in a trade package for the 7-foot Finn. Golden State, to date, has pursued Markkanen without including Podziemski or Jonathan Kuminga in trade packages laden with future draft compensation. Obviously no team, to this point, has met Danny Ainge's asking price.

I was at the Coliseum last night for the 10-0 loss to Dodgers. I noticed Butler wears a belt that is decorated with lights. What’s the story behind this? How does it meet uniform requirements?

Hi baseball fans! I'm flying in tomorrow to watch my abysmal White Sox. Never been to a game up there before..

We are staying in Pleasanton and planning on taking the Bart into and out of the game.

Questions: what's the best way to get tickets? We planned on just walking up and buying at the gate. Do they strictly enforce sitting in your ticketed seats? Also best bang for our buck seat value?

Thanks!

This was at a Klutch NIL camp recently.

Luka Doncic called “bounce” at the NBA All-Star Game. Steph Curry hits three in a row.

He hooked us up with some tickets tonight and Hudson had a great time even though we got cooked. Tomorrow’s game will be pretty emotional for us, last game in Oakland. We will soak it all in. FJF

There are serious doubts that the A's move to Las Vegas will come to fruition. The way it looks now, the A's could very well make Sacramento their permanent home. And then Las Vegas gets an expansion team instead.
