he had a pretty good 1st. it’s hard to judge because it’s pretty clunky...once they all start developing some chemistry it’ll be easier to tell.
the goaltending has been really good though

It definitely is. Part of the excitement comes from how many mistakes are made at this level though, you just don't see it as much in the NHL.

quinn hughes everywhere....super dynamic but also had some damon severson specials. The difference being the u.s actually supports him defensively.
It's only been 1 game but....hughes is playing exactly how he's been playing, the other 2 on his line have been real sloppy.

It's crazy that Hextall was fired with all of the high end prospects he's drafted/signed , such as Frost

How the heck did he drop in draft day?
I didn't think J Hughes looked dominant today .
Barzal looked better than him back in WJC a few years ago.
Though, it's only one game.
that's how you pass on a 2 on 0
It's why I dont want him. He needs players who can get in prime scoring spots and his linemates didn't do that all game. He got some scoring chances himself but his shot sucks.
Also he got completely owned physically multiple times lol

He didn't drop. He went 27th and was ranked lower than that.
Barzal also didn't play at the World Juniors in his draft year. He played in his D+1 and D+2 seasons.

So it's an even better job of scouting by Hextall's guys.
Oh, Hughes is younger than Barzal was at WJC?

Is there a mercy rule? Canada is going to breeze through this tourney.
I thought Robertson looked great for the US. For my money he was probably their best player. Not impressed by J. Hughes at all.

Yes, Hughes is 17 and in his draft year. Barzal was 18 and in his D+1 season when he first played at the WJC, and he got 3 points in 5 games.

He's playing a regular shift it seems, and on the 2nd power play unit. Looks pretty calm and smooth out there, as expected.
