Cozens ready to face Lethbridge teammate Okuliar in quarters . markhmasters has more:
Cozens will get another cool experience when Canada opens the knockout stage against a Slovakia team featuring his linemate in Lethbridge, Oliver Okuliar. The pair exchanged messages on Instagram once the match-up was set.
"He's perfect," said Okuliar of Cozens."On the ice, off the ice, I like him so much. He's a really good person. He's a funny guy and we do a lot of stupid things . Like normal stupid things, like young guys.""His skill when we play together, it's unbelievable," said Okuliar."He's really good on the puck and he skates well."
"He's starting to use his speed," observed Canadian defenceman Kevin Bahl,"but it's not just his speed offensively, it's his speed defensively as well. He's on the back check, he's tracking hard, he's cutting people's hands, you know, not letting people beat him to the net in the D-zone. Stuff like that.
"I believe I'll be able to, maybe, we'll see," he said with a sly grin."You'll see on the ice. See if we can get him to take some penalties.""It's not really how I want," the 19-year-old said of his play,"but every game is better and better and hopefully my best game will be against Canada."With six points, Dylan Cozens is tied for Team Canada's scoring lead in Ostrava.
