GDT: Switzerland vs Austria and Finland vs USA Exhibition Games

[Sens of Anarchy]

Zegras giving Barzal vibes, power play looks good considering.

very similar

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Great pass from boldy.

Kaliyev blew the one timer but still got off a good enough shot to score.

 

[kilowatt]

Kaliyev! Atta boy, regardless of anything else, the kid can shoot.

 

[J1mLahey]

Zegras really stood out that period for the Americans. The few times Lambert was out there his motor was evident. Great pace to the first!

 

[Canadienna]

I think every shot he's taken has missed the net because of it.

Lol he's got more shots on net than any other player. FIN or USA.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

That was a nice pass by Boldy. Went through some sticks.

I like Boldy. He's a good player. Wild have some good young players coming in

 

[FinPanda]

Almost survived that, no surprise they scored after that many penalties though.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

that was a pretty good period of hockey for both sides sans the penalties, that Finnish goalie looks good

 

[snipes]

Zegras is just really smooth.

Doesn’t have a great or super accurate shot, but man does he have offensive vision and passing.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he has a 1:4 goal to assist ratio as a pro. That’s not even meant as an insult more speaks to how good of a passer he is.

His vision, stick handling, and passing are outstanding.

 

[Llamamoto]

very similar

Disagree, they're very different players.

Barzal relies on his speed and has a much better shot.

Zegras's bread and butter is his vision and playmaking.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Just me or is EVERYONE watching this game?!
Feels like its been 7 years since hockey was on.

 

[kilowatt]

Way too many penalties from Finland, the ice was tilted after the first five or so minutes. Did Finland even have a shot in the last ten minutes?

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Great pass from boldy.

Going back to that draft I wanted him at 8 for the oilers, guy has all the tools to be a successful top 6 player in the nhl. He has softer hands than most give him credit for

Love his hands.

 

[SlafCaufield]

Not a huge fan of Kleven so far.

He kind of sucks

 

[jj cale]

Good period, if penalties don't get out of hand it will get even better I think.

The world juniors, thank God, couldn't have come soon enough to break a guy out of this covid bullshit.

 

[Static]

Cole caulfield kind of looks like carrot top.

 

[Static]

He kind of sucks

Every player has rust to shake off, we will see.

 

[ArPanet]

Beniers was evident in that period.

 

[JackSlater]

Good first period, USA got up to speed after a few minutes. Finland needs to get better position and avoid penalties.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Way too many penalties from Finland, the ice was tilted after the first five or so minutes. Did Finland even have a shot in the last ten minutes?

I don't think they had a single sniff of the net after the first 5 minutes.

 

[king89]

Good first 10 minutes from Finland but after that it was all surviving haha. We can't continue to take these penalties otherwise it will be a long night..

 

[cleveland408]

I love how U.S defensemen are ready to skate it out and make plays with the puck. Piroinen showing good poise and mobility in the net.

 

[Luolis]

This game should be very entertaining as long as Finland can manage to stay out of the box in the 2nd and 3rd periods.

 

[ArPanet]

Kaliyev should mix in a few acting lessons when he gets to LA. There's always going to be crime shows and with his face he could carve out a nice career if this hockey thing doesn't work out.
