I want a dozen. Reminds me of the '01s against Russia in the U18s when they hit like 7 or 8 against Askarov

It'd be nice for Hughes to pop one. His game has trended down since the first game

The more one dimensional offensive guys we brought have been near invisible. Hughes and Connor namely. Not much ice will be there Thursday, today is the day to get some confidence going.

Eichel brilliant back check to save a goal.
Hughes is really gripping his stick tight. Kid just looks like he is doubting himself right now.

It's a bummer the forward lines are so messed up due to being short handed. Kind of killed any opportunity to use this game to build chemistry with the normal lines

Thank you Elon!
If it wasn't obvious, the Tkachuk's are the driving force for this team. Physically leading the charge. We definitely have controlled much of the in zone play,but killer instinct is missing right now

Thank you Elon!
Oh well. Nothing felt good this game. Too many guys out. Sucks this happened right before the finals. 5 damn posts, can't happen Thursday.
Rest up Brady. Need you back.

Good that it was a competitive game. Want the boys hungry. A lot of bad puck luck tonight, so hopefully we'll get more bounces on Thursday. Hopefully all of our guys out will be good to go on Thursday. If not, time to call in replacements.
Sloppy passing, short bench, really solid Swedish team.
I like Kreider more than Connor. Better fit for a bottom 6 role, IMO

I'd like to see Boldy and Hughes swap spots, too. If he's not turning it over, the puck is still dying on Hughes's stick. He was electric most of the Finland game but he's been out of it since.
I like that. I was thinking about swapping Guentzel & Boldy, but I like the idea of Hughes too.
Be nice to get some offense from Miller & Fox too, they haven’t chipped in much

As a Wild fan, I thought Boldy looked good tonight. His line had some solid chances. He's always good on the back check as well.

Not exactly the most important game in the history of organized hockey. At no practical cost to the U.S., Sweden gets a win to save face, key U.S. players needing rest get some, and down-bench players see more ice time. Win-win-win, even in a meaningless loss.
Not exactly sure why we have to play Canada again, having beaten them once already, but should be an intense game anyway so what the hey.
It's just entertainment after all. Merely hope that nobody else gets hurt for either team.

Christ. Hopefully he's okay and can play. Would be brutal to lose him. The team is ravaged right now.
It is Mass General Hospital. One of the best hospitals in the country. The Boston Globe says it is precautionary and related to his upper body injury.
Hoping everything is ok with him.
*UMass Medical Center is in Worcester and nowhere near Boston.
