Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Anyone see highlights of Casey Middlestadt in the world showcase against Canada? Kid has unreal hands, and his feel for the game and patience seem to be off the charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Who Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 We got lucky the kid couldn't do a pull-up and apparently some GMs thought that meant bad at hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) https://mobile.twitter.com/SabresFanatics/status/892508004242817026?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fhfboards.hockeysfuture.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D2361551%26page%3D26 Must see goal by Mittelstadt! That twitter account I posted the link from actually has a number of good highlights from Mittelstadt from World Jr's. I really think (hope) we may have got the steal of the draft with this kid. His hands and speed are on another level. Just an all around great, highly skilled hockey player. Glad to see Buffalo putting more priority on skill over size and "grit"/toughness again. Here's another nice play. Those hands! https://mobile.twitter.com/SabresFanatics/status/892848332225232896/photo/1 https://mobile.twitter.com/SabresFanatics/status/891375641874059264 https://mobile.twitter.com/SabresFanatics/status/891375359840718849/video/1 https://mobile.twitter.com/SabresFanatics/status/891364854526865408/video/1 Edited August 3, 2017 by BillsFan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 The next time I see a pull up bar on an ice hockey rink will be the first time. Mittlestadt is the reverse "Mike Mamula". Kid is definitely a hockey player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) Why'd he sit? I thought that he was supposed to be playing great. They likely wanted to look at other players with him already proving worthy of being on the US WJC team for the real tournament.

BillsFan4 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I seen that Mittelstadt led the whole tournament in points. I also read some saying that they thought he was the best player in the tournament. Sounds like a great showing for CM... SabresFanatics @SabresFanatics Mittelstadt and USA beat Canada 7-5 and go underfeated in the #WJSS. Mittelstadt lead the tournament with 9 points in 5 games And one more highlight - https://mobile.twitter.com/SabresFanatics/status/893995204444909568/video/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
