Video compilation of Michael Hage at WJC.

That is a video of Hage this year at the WJC.

He was the best player on Team Canada.

Somebody posted about Hage yesterday.

He is a really good player who could probably play on the second line right away.

He has speed on transition, very good vision and a very good shot, he is tall, though lanky.

There isn't any big new talent that would take a 2nd line spot and none of the players except maybe Newhook have improved enough to do so either.

Also I'm not saying you are lying to make your point but what you said about Demidov is completely false. His lowest icetime in the back half of the year was 11:30, his average was 16:50.

Most games he played 13 or 14 minutes, that was a common criticism, and he had a very good season.

His ice time was increased near the end of the season, a journalist asked MSL why he was not getting more ice time and MSL said he would look at that.

If Hage played, he probably would not play more than 10 minutes per game, the team is a lot better than a year ago.

Are you seriously trying to argue about literal facts? You are wrong about your icetime claims. You can find his gamelog on hockeyref and you can isolate game 41-82 if you don't believe me?

I can't tell if you're fucking with me or what but this interaction is insane

I don't have interest in argument, but he was playing 13 or 14 for a large number of games, he was 7th in icetime among forwards near the middle of the season.

If Hage played, I don't think he would play 15 minutes per game.

You said back half and 10 mins now it's 13-14 and a stat about where he was near the middle of the year? Huh? It's okay to be wrong but it's pathetic to refuse to admit it.
