GDT: Pre-tournament • Dec. 23 • Sweden vs. Canada

[biturbo19]

I thought he was the weak link on the blue line.

Didn't do a whole lot of anything great today. The blueline as a whole was pretty lackluster though. Lot of issues all around.

Thought Chabot had an unnervingly erratic game that stood out to me as shaky.

It's always hard to go back to watching the NHL after watching these junior games.
So much back and forth!

 

[John Agar]

Fun game

If either of these teams play like this in the actual tournament...

 

[DoubleDouble*]

Really fun game to watch.

 

[Raymoondo]

Virtanen with the much deserved player of the game

 

[GoBoltz56]

Link to scoresheet??

 

[m4tt145]

Bad but entertaining game, too many mistakes by Sweden.

 

[Vide]

created perlini's goal

That was more on Barzal IMO.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

If someone passes from the back and through the net to someone in front of the goal, and they score, does it count?

 

[ursavolta]

Hey guys..couldnt watch the game.


Hows Crouse lookin?

He was pretty bad this game... could only go up from this.

 

[Random Forest]

Virtanen mvp.

I hope hf likes that one

You've got to be the most insecure fan I've ever seen.

 

[JackSlater]

Pretty useful game for both teams, I think. Canada's Stephens line looks good, the coaches can drill the players on discipline, McKeown can be stapled to the bench and Blackwood can feel confident that he gets the reigns in the third game.

 

[WilliamNylander]

Such a fun game.

Virtanen looked really good. Same with Barzal.

Alex Nylander showed some flashes of his potential but also whiffed a few times... Maybe it's nervousness?

Asplund also looked good, going to be a first round pick.

 

[Pyromaniac]

Hey guys..couldnt watch the game.

Hasn't had an impact yet.

 

[jjjshab]

Player of the game should be the net

video review 1st star

 

[BertCorbeau]

Virtanen mvp.

I hope hf likes that one

Marner with the GWG

I think everyone can be happy at this point.

Not a good game for Crouse, but this was a sloppy game all around for most guys today.

 

[TheOllieC]

That was more on Barzal IMO.

right, but mckeown pinched and got a shot for a rebound.

regardless, people are too over-reactionary in trying to evaluate players after one sloppy meaningless pre tourney game. nothing new but it gets annoying.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Great game for both teams. - score aside, penalties, bad plays etc. It gave both teams the ability to work in all different areas. I think both come into the real games, a little more tested and aware of what needs to be done.

 

[Liminality]

You've got to be the most insecure fan I've ever seen.

It's funny to read at least

Like Barzal will take his place...

Invisible...

 

[stavs*]

Virtanen mvp.

I hope hf likes that one

he played good, but it doesn't take away from the fact that both teams still played like garbage. MVP's in hogwash games like this are meaningless. Good for him though, we'll need him to step it up when the tournament starts
