Pronman singled out Blichfeld for note in his wrap of the Canada/Denmark exhibition game:

Blichfeld turned heads with an incredible snipe shot to beat Colton Point on Denmark's first goal. He does not have a dynamic trait outside of his shot, but I like his skill and he has some vision. Like in Portland of the WHL, Blichfeld is used on the point on the power play for Denmark's first unit to fire away and be a catalyst. “He has the ability to see the moment, he has an incredibly quick release and has gotten way better defensively,” said Denmark coach Olaf Eller. What's holding him back right now is sub-par skating, as I never see him really explode up the ice.

​

Pronman: What stood out at Canada-Denmark world juniors...

It's funny, but in the few times I've seen him I don't think I've ever thought his skating was an issue. He's certainly not a burner, but he seems quick enough. I honestly felt like Gregor showed a lot rougher skating ability last night than I've ever seen out of Blichfeld. But I guess that's why I'm not a scout. Also older scouting reports on him have criticized his shot for being a slow release, and here he gets lauded for a quick one. It's always funny seeing contradictory scouting reports.

Uh, Norris is going the way of Patrick White.

Is he not even making the USA junior team?

 

[Lebanezer]

Not that this matters, but I just realized that Mario Ferraro was one of, if not the oldest 1st timers in the draft last year. He missed the cutoff by 2 days.

Who said Norris isn't making the team?

Get some sun, Joachim. The scared children keep thinking they've seen a ghost.

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Wow, good for Norris.

 

[Coily]

Get hyped.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Not to be me, but two goals in the third against Belarus when it was already 10-0?

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

Goals should be good for Norris's confidence. Pucks are goin in.

 

[Gecklund]

Norris on the fourth line for USA. From what I understand though, they roll their lines.

 

[Harbessix]

Norris makes U.S. final roster, Badini and McGing final two cuts.

 

[Alaskanice]

It’s nice to see that Josh Norris made the US team.
I know some people here jumped to assume that he wouldn’t make the team but he did. Good for him and good for his development.

What's Jeremy Roy out with?

Apparently his knee (the same knee that was surgically repaired). Officially it's just listed as "lower body injury"

also per LS (who can't post because the site is having a meltdown or something and a bunch of users are borked out of being able to participate for unknown reasons) Chartier is out due to an Upper Body Injury.

He’s getting a bionic knee.

Is “upper body injury” code for “he has concussion symptoms again” or is it something else?
