GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 04 • Group A: DEN (0) - USA (9) F

[RomanEmpire]

Holy zone time

 

[SI90]

I️ thought we were on the PP

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Wow that was an incredible sequence.

 

[SI90]

Please Denmark change your goalie. Show this kid some mercy.

 

[Chainshot]

That was a helluva sequence in passing prior to that goal.

 

[Canada4Gold]

converted TD. Not surprising. Danes don't play American Football so the odds of them blocking the XP was low

 

[Snippit]

Why the heck is Hughes not the de facto #2 defenseman in the 2018 draft

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Just tuned into the game, not surprised by the score.

 

[Son of Donegal]

Hughes or Boquist?

They look similar to me in my first viewings. Both silky smooth and smart. Hughes looks a bit bigger (or not as small) than I expected.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

 

[Crosstraffic]

Wow, this goalie is gawd awful.

I think it all comes down to his size, but I think after this tournament he’ll solidify a spot as 2nd best on D for his draft class

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Probably the 5'9" thing. But I have him as #3 on my board behind Dahlin and Svechnikov and I don't think anyone is going to pass him for me.

 

[Chainshot]

US has lost a fair amount of intensity,, I don't blame them but ... its barely a practice at this point

That's the concern in a laugher early.

yes please

 

[eternalbedhead]

Mittelstadt could use a few less attempts at one-on-one drag moves and pass to a teammate there.

Not like he's hurting his team. The US isn't even trying any more and it still looks like they're on a permanent powerplay.

As others have pointed out, height.

You watching him and Mittelstadt playing keep-away and getting wistful too?

Yuup.

Hopefully this kid grows because he'd be one heck of a consolation prize if we don't get Dahlin.

When did you watch Boqvist? The Boqvist on Sweden is a forward not the draft eligible D

 

[JetsFan815]

I wouldn't take anything out of this game from the USA side to be honest

 

[Chainshot]

Yuup.

There are so many quality D this year. I'm not fixating on any one in particular -- a bunch of them are endlessly entertaining.

There's another Boqvist that got cut. Adam.

Boqvist played on their U18 team in Hlinka

5 reasons and 9 inches

 

[SabresSharks]

Much easier to execute against a clearly inferior team, but US looks quite sharp for its first game.

Their high cycle has looked effortless several times tonight. Denmark is afraid to attack it.
