He's centering MacKinnon and JS Dea tonight as part of the Subway Super Series - this should hopefully help him show a bit more.

The subway series is broadcast on Sportnet...

Watching the game last night I wasn't impressed with Huberdeau till the 3rd period.. His pass to Oulette for the first goal was pretty slick but I was disappointed.. His back check was no where to be found till the third period and even then he still wasn't amazing..

If we remember correctly Huberdeau had a horrible first game of the Canada Russia Challenege.. He then was benched for game 2 and returned wearing the "C".. He then showed his talent in the remaining two games.

I'm not sure if he's lazy, bored, or just spoiled.. He should be giving it everything to make an impression.. The announcers last night in the 3rd period were saying that he looks like a NHL caliber player but yet his play didnt show it.

I love this kid but i'm seriously confused..

Yakupov and Grigerenko took the spotlight this game.. Followed by Mackinnon.

Game 2 will be Wednesday night on Sportsnet..

Drouin is playing the next game.

There's been almost no hype about him on these boards - but he's someone everyone should be keeping an eye on for 2013.

Big time.

Huberdeau, MacKinnon, and Drouin were dominant. Wow.

Why are people paying attention to performances in glorified all star games?

You are actually wrong here. The Subway series is a gateway for young player to show they can perform against/with the best of their age group. It's their interview before the WJC Camp. I was there on Monday, and let me tell you that MacKinnon was utterly pissed by his performance in the two first period. He knew that he was being watched by Hockey Canada's brass.

The Subway series is a cash grab and not much more. Mackinnon was pissed with his performance, ok, but it has little to no influence at all on how Hockey Canada will view him for the WJC. None. It's still a glorified all-star game with little to no defence. Went to the OHL one last year, 10-8 final score or something like that. Yeah, that doesn't really show HC who is going to do well at the WJC.

A guy could shit the bed in his Subway Series games and it wouldn't matter if they actually were doing well already in their regular season. 1-2 exhibition games doesn't reveal much.

MacKinnon was tried out at wing because he will have to play there to make the WJC. Hockey Canada was trying to see if he could adapt quickly.

I agree that it's a cash grab, but for most players there they do not see it as a glorified all-star game. I do not think for one second that Charles Hudon (5th round 2012 pick by Habs) or Xavier Ouellet (2nd round pick by Detroit in 2011), did not gave their all because they knew this was one of the best opportunity for them to shine in front of Hockey Canada.
