Ekblad and Bellemare were my favourites tonight. I give an edge to Matthews and Larkin aswell, fun players to watch. Overall, fun game.
 
North America is fun to watch.

I selfishly hope Parayko did enough to earn some ice time in the actual tournament, but you can't really go wrong with Ekblad, Trouba, or Jones either. Should be a very fun tournament. I had my doubts that we'd see good hockey, but even the pre-tournament games have been exciting so I'm sure the tournament will be fun.
 
Drouin-Nuge-Mackinnon
Gaudreau-Mathews-Saad
Larkin-McDavid-Scheifele
 
Thoughts on Larkin tonight? Maybe throw him some PP time to see if he can help get it going for NA
 
I think Matthews was Team NA's best forward tonight. Very strong with the puck and created a lot of his own plays. McDavid didn't look all that great tonight, maybe put Scheifele back on his line instead of Eichel.
 
Exciting. Lots of ups and downs as expected for youngsters.

Reilly-Ekblad were solid. Parayko was a stud on the PK.

Up front, Nuge played awesome. Matthews, Scheifele, Larkin, and MacKinnon looked great as well.
 
McDavid was invisible.

Saad was rather invisible too. I don't think Eichel did much.


Gaudreau was pretty bad with McDavid but when he wasn't with McDavid he destroyed.


Apart from that, Matthews was good overall and likely the best player on his line, Nuge-MacK-Drouin was great, the 4th line was pretty bad apart from Larkin.


Larkin and Scheifele with McDavid would be what I'd try.
