Well Team USA lost to Sweden today 3-1 at the World u-18s...The best USA player today was goalie Spencer Knight who kept them in the game till late 3rd period (1-1 till Sweden scored and added an empty bet goal.)The Swedish goalie Lindbom was also very good especially in the 3rd period when USA got several pp chances .....so in a game where both goalies shined and earned best player for their teams we did not see anything much to get excited about from the alleged statsc9f both teams. Jack Highs (2019 draft eligible) was supposed to be the next Crosby..but I was disappointed him him...not much starry play at all ...poor game?Maybe ..ASsfor the 2018 draft eligible. ..the Swedes'Boqvist did not look that special ...I expected more...Breggren looked fast and good carving through defenders but did not see any special finish today.. Gustafsson was very good on the pk and I liked his pick pursuit but again nothing stood out non finishing today ..So they may still be in consideration for our later pick (from thenPreds) but maybe something else with that pick?
AS for Walston. .
..I did not see much pursuit or hustle...if he just has a good shot it still is far off the Zadiba sniper level I want ... I did not like the way Walston. moves with or without the puck
.seems like he prefers to stand still a lot waiting for 1 -timers..He probably dropped in. my target list for #7-8 of what I saw today ...So far USA has list 2 games to Canada first and today to Sedan and hardly looked god in either ...Maybe we need to downgrade some of their talent.
Canada is playing the Swiss so I will report my observations on that game and who stood out...So far 1-0 Canada after 1 period..
