GDT: Switzerland vs Austria and Finland vs USA Exhibition Games

[snipes]

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.

Hear hear lad.

 

[Fatass]

caufield starting on the 4th line is an absolute fking joke

Maybe in 5 on 5 play, where he’s really not as good as those other wingers it’s accepted. He is playing on the number one PP though. Kid is a scorer. That’s what he must do or he’s not really helping his team much.

 

[weems]

So looks like the Leafs got another total steal in Niemela.

Dubas the draft wizard.

 

[Fatass]

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!

Like to see Zegras play more between the dots though.

 

[Morgs]

I know it sounds bias as a Leafs fan, but man were Niemela & Kokkonen pretty much the only Fins to show up that period. I liked Helenius and Lambert in their limited roles too.

USA looks great, but I'd like to see a little more 5v5.

 

[jj cale]

I can see the Barzal comparisons but at risk of coming off as cliche since he was american also I see more Doug Weight then Barzal.

I truly never thought we'd get here. So glad we did.

Looking forward to Russia/U.S. on Christmas Day.

He's been impressive, especially break outs.

Loved Weight as an Oiler but if we’re going that era, perhaps Adam Oates type player?

 

[ORRFForever]

lol here we go

Why does that bother you so much?

Thought Zegras and Beniers stood out for the US in P1.

Beniers is just relentless on the forecheck.

 

[Canucks LB]

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

I hate comparing him to other players but I’ve seen so many games of him, And I can’t help but see literally a winger version of Bo Horvat.

From his skating style, to his checking, and his passing ability on the power play behind the net.

The Minnesota wild are getting a hell of a player

Beniers is just relentless on the forecheck.

I quite liked his period (Beniers), he’s a player I’m going to follow closer during and after this tournament.

He plays a pro style game already and he’s just a kid.

 

[Pardus]

Rasmus Kupari - Arthur Kaliyev would be nice to see in a same LA line in the future. Next season?

 

[m0pe]

I see it took 1 whole period for people to realize that Beniers is really good. That is good.

Now hopefully his role keeps increasing.

 

[FinPanda]

lol here we go

What do you mean? They actually played well.

 

[Canucks LB]

Zegras is a hell of a passer

 

[snipes]

Beautiful pass by Zegras on that goal

2-1

 

[SlafCaufield]

Caufield lol there ya go

 

[The Head Crusher]

I have York, Zegras, and Boldy on my draft team. If the USA can capitalize on their power plays it could be massive for me.

 

[Canucks LB]

Great shot by caufield!!

 

[ORRFForever]

Finland looks awful.

 

[Llamamoto]

I see it took 1 whole period for people to realize that Beniers is really good. That is good.

Now hopefully his role keeps increasing.

He was the hardest working player that period, and he's already so good defensively. I see an O'Reilly type player.

Also what a pass by Zegras.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Zegras has ridiculous vision. Going to be a good one.
