LOL how do they not get footage of that with a clock like we do in NHL games
 
I get that impression as well when watching him.

He was like the only Isles prospect I ever recall who just shot the hell out of the puck his first 2-3 games in the league so maybe. All other guys are usually afraid to shoot their first few games
 
Kupari left the game in the 3rd period, some kind of a knee injury. Hopefully nothing serious.
 
Sweden wins it in OT.

Thoughts on the junior Kings:

Fagemo, talk about a shot mentality. I'd be very surprised if he didn't have the most shots in the game by a fair margin. Again, hard working north-south guy. Not sure his speed or shot is elite enough to be a dependable scoring forward but might fill a role as an energy guy who can create space for more skilled linemates.
Björnfot, we all know his skating is tremendous. Didn't seem to play with very much intensity, I think he could have done more to drive play by being more assertive and skating the puck but he kept it simple which is never a bad thing in a d-man.
Kupari got better as the game went along but doesn't look like an impact forward to me. Had some decent plays in both ends but didn't stick out.
Nousianen was very impressive, the best d-man on either side in my opinion. Broke up plays and stopped the cycle, was dominant defensively but also jumped up on the attack a couple of times.
 
Man, I was feeling a little down on Lafrieniere because of the Q, but he's proving it. Dude was the best player on the ice for either team today.
Yea really a good all around player. Would be nice to get him in the lottery!
On the other side of the spectrum there was cole caufield. Had a rough go and was the worst player on the ice.
I also think cozens game will translate well in the nhl
