Was nice to see him give some contact back along the boards but kind of a low aggression hit. I'll take baby steps.

Either Sweden is severely outclassed by the States or they are entirely checked out. They don't look even remotely competitive right now.

I mean, they have Leo as their top line center right now.

Love the kid but it’s gonna be tough to compete with this US roster when that’s the case

That's fair but the effort level isn't there either.

 

[AngelDuck]

The USA would be even better if they would have left JT Miller at home and brought Troy Terry

That's fair but the effort level isn't there either.

I agree. There’s a weird feel to their team. They don’t have a ton of guys who are in their primes.

A lot of guys who are still good players but are kind of in the twilight phases of their careers. And then Leo who’s 20 and not quite there yet.

Quite the contrast to Canada and the US who have 80% of their roster in their primes

 

[Quack Shot]

Only seen one shift, but Leo just seems lost.

Looked good in the offensive zone last shift.

 

[Arthuros]

I'd be surprised if Leo was in sync - wasn't he playing with a different line in practice?

Think so. I think he was fine out there. Yeah a bit out of sync with his linemates but hasn't made any egregious mistakes, but hasn't really contributed much to chances yet. Looks better than a kid who doesn't belong.

 

[Mr Rogers]

 

[Terry Yake]

how's he looking?

 

[HanSolo]

how's he looking?

More of the same. He's not making mistakes on the little plays but he's not creating much either. He seems a bit nervous.

[Mr Rogers]

Leo pretty much looks the same as he does on the Ducks. Not good or bad really, not doing much of anything.

 

[MCB]

I'm stuck at work during this game so I appreciate all the Leo updates during it!

[Sean Garrity]

He’s playing like a 20 year playing in his first tournament against the best players in the world. Super safe and simple. Still needs to learn not to get drilled though.

edit: As I typed that he just made a great move to get somewhat of a scoring chance.

 

[Ducks DVM]

He doesn’t look like a liability, but he’s absolutely not one of the guys you think is dominating either.

He started playing better his last few shifts.

 

[KelVarnsen]

He must have been nervous all year then cause he’s pretty invisible with the Ducks as well.

Par for the course. Has the 1 or 2 flashes per game where you can see it, but has yet to turn it to consistency and production

You think he's invisible with the ducks? Brah what were you expecting? A 90 point season from a 19 year old?

Fair, this is honestly how I would expect him to play in his first game like this, this no “All Star tournament”, but I would expect more play driving in the NHL. He’s still only 20 so not too worried at his game at the NHL level and clearly team Sweden sees him as a potential elite Center at the international level to even involve him in this tournament yet alone play him (even if it’s a “meaningless” game).

Edit: NHL hockey should seem “easy” for him after this.
