Hall is having a nice game

 

[TCB]

So he skates like Debrusk?

To early to tell I've only seen him for 6 periods but very real similar as far as straight ahead speed, but so far he just doesn't seem to have that quick acceleration or lateral movement but there's no questioning his speed once he gets moving.

It will be fun to watch him and Hall the rest of the tourney.

Hall did play a good game, got the game winner and drew the penalty that lead to the insurance goal, but I don't remember seeing him on the ice after that.

Beecher needs to work on his skating

This has to be tongue in cheek. Pure skating ability
he is one of the top 3 skaters on team.

Was watching him skate backwards in neutral zone and
his backwards lateral skating ability is terrific.

really? I only watched the USA/Canada game and half this one today and the kid has a great stride IMO

I have seen Beecher live twice and on TV about 5
times. I have no idea how anyone can question
his skating ability. About the only criticism I
have is his skating posture is more upright than most
which means he can't utilize his edges as well as Zegras
or Turcotte. In another post I remarked about his backwards skating. This kid is a tremendous skater,
especially for an 18 yr old 6:03 kud.

Can't believe what these people are looking at.

skating was a treat to watch, there are many here far better suited to assess a player than I but IMO, kid already has NHL speed, needs to improve other areas of his game but he`s a kid, not a finished product but I was figuratively salivating watching him and thinking how potentially dangerous and a handful he might well be in the near future with that big frame and excellent speed

I assumed the sarcasm would be easily spotted!

He can move. But then again so can Senyshyn.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Canada's having a rough afternoon

 

[KrejciMVP]

Russia has less travel time and lost last game to the czechs..could be a bit more rested

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Hunter is not doing good job coaching Canada.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Hate it when the Russians are good

 

[lopey]

Group B is the group of death

 

[Fenway]

Canada has flat out quit

 

[Fenway]

This could really shake up the entry draft

 

[VanIsle]

What a horrendous game, Canada doesn't show up Lafreniere is hurt what a rough start for us Canadian Bruins fans. Not to mention Lauko is also done.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

This could really shake up the entry draft

I doubt this. Unless he has a horrendous career threatening injury, he is going #1.

He can absolutely fly when he gets his wheels going there's no question there, but I haven't seen him cut change direction at a high rate of speed as of yet and he's bitten the dust a few times when trying to keep up with defenders defensively when they changed direction, I know this could be just him being to geared up, being over zealous, because everything I had read on him stated how great of a skater he is.

Im glad he' on the team and he will be fun to watch him play and see how he progresses throughout the Tournament.

 

[CDJ]

Lafreniere to the bruins at pick #31 confirmed

 

[GoBs]

Feel for the kid
Hope he is ok
But Ray Ferraro go away biggest homer
Watched the Sweden game with Craig Button and he was excellent really knew the players
I know he is a draft guy

 

[Bruinaura]

What's with the clown music every time a penalty is called?

 

[Saxon Eric]

 

[Saxon Eric]

I was listening to the game and couldn't figure out why the Russian player was yelling at the Canadians after the anthem
Now I know...

 

[Bruinaura]

Pasta disapproves...
