Optimism=Delusional
From what I understand Butcher is likely but I didn't get to see the game today. He's a PP specialist and they cut the other bubble puck moving D. No other Avs, Bigras and Butcher are it.
Caught the last 15 minutes of the SWE/CAN game(too busy watch pedro beasting it)
From reading the comments in WJC forum it looks like Bigras had a game to forget(although it might be idiots or oiler homers) Just looking at the highlites he did look bad on the Burakovsky goal.
It seems that Sweden pretty much dominated Canada too.
Butcher made the USA roster, they are down to 7 D now.
The Canada fans need to calm down.
Not impressed by Bigras again...though wow, Dumba is terrible. Hopefully we don't have to see Bigras play with Dumba ever again. That pairing is a mess.
Will Butcher with a PPG
Nice hearing the announcers referencing the "Matt Duchene inside out move" on the broadcast
Butcher should have had another goal if it wasn't for a quick whistle.
Not exactly sure what I thought of Butcher's game right now. It was a real mixed bag IMO. Made some solid plays with his stick, but seemed to get lost in the defensive zone frequently and didn't handle getting pressured well. On the other side he makes a really nice first pass and has great offensive instincts for the game that he really showed off. Basically he looked really raw, but has enough talent offensively to contribute to the team.
In other words, another JM Liles...lite?
Hope Bill the Butcher has a great tourney
