what's with the goal horn in Lehigh?
is it not set up yet so they are using a recording?
or is that it? it's so quiet.
The more I see Hagg, I come away kind of underwhelmed. His ceiling and best comparable is Hjalmarsson. Same type of players. He can move the puck but he's not going to be a PP QB. He'll be used in a shutdown role. I would be fine with this. Realistically I see Hagg topping out as a 3-4-5 guy. He will fall somewhere between.
I'd be overjoyed if Hagg turned out to be an all around #3 on multiple Stanley Cup winner... Just sayin'.

I get where you're coming from in a way. He's not a flashy or really assertive player. You would usually expect more from a guy of his skillset so maybe that's where the underwhelming feeling comes from. At the same time though, he has done things that have impressed me. He makes crisp clean passes with pressure right in his face. He seems to read plays pretty well too. It's also pretty amazing how effortless he makes it all look. I remember hearing about that when he was drafted. He ALMOST (not saying he is) looks arrogant and cocky, as if he's saying '' I don't need to bust my ass to stop you, Im THAT good''.
Hopefully that's just something that's temporary since this is the first game played there. There might be some minor things that are still unfinished.
