Can someone post the PP units from the exhibition game?

You guys know any way to watch game against Finland? Other than being on the rink.

it’s a short tournament so coaches need to be quick sometimes. But there’s also plenty of guys who have struggled at the beginning of the tourney (never mind, pre-tourney Game One) but bounced back to be very good. Jimmy Vesey is my poster child for this. He looked lost and overwhelmed through 3 games but was very important in the medal round.

I didn't see anything on out there as of yet or I got to impatient. But at some point Peters will break it down. Chris is a good one to follow if you are on Twitter.

Haven’t followed anything pre-tournament very closely but curious how has Fischer looked for you guys?

The PP was posted somewhere. I remember seeing Burnevik listed in the bumper. The rest of the PP seems like it would just be the top line and Buium on the point.

Edit- It was probably net front for Burnevik. He’s a big boy, isn’t he?

The Slovakian hockey YouTube channel posted some highlight clips in a post game interview. Of note at the 26 second mark you see us working the puck on the PP with Buium at the point and Hagens ripping a few shots from the right slot. Quick puck movement. Can't draw conclusions from it obviously, but it's fun to see a few highlight clips.

Exhibitions mean very little but it's nice to see a lot of the big names putting up points in them. Hopefully juicing their confidence to open the tournament.

Thursday should be a nice start for the boys to get going. Definitely a very top heavy team, the depth looks solid though unspectacular. But I usually prefer teams that look better on ice than on paper as we typically perform to our level and above with those types.

Truly wish Will Smith was here. The amount of feasting that trio would have done would feed other nations for years...

One of my favorite times of the year, can’t wait for New Year’s Eve against Canada. The Hagens, Leonard and Perrault line really started to click the last 3 weeks before the break. Keep an eye on Leonard though, he was hobbled the last 3-4 weeks with an ankle injury against Maine. He didn’t miss any games but he’d miss shifts or look hobbled for a couple shifts from tweaking it. I’m not super concerned but it’s worth watching

Last thing I’m interested in is the PP. The BC pp has been atrocious but I think it’s more about Powell and the 5th person they’ve been cycling through it. I’m pretty confident with Buium and a better net front, they’ll gel quickly
