GDT: Switzerland vs Austria and Finland vs USA Exhibition Games

[57special]

Zegras has crowd pleasing skills. Boldy much less so, but makes some nice plays. Kaliyev and Caufield aren't at all confused about what their role is.

I think Brisson is a bottom six guy who can make a difference. He failed to convert on that pass by Lacombe, but it was the right idea. He can be deadly from there.

Johnson was almost good.

Knight handles the puck like Dubnyk. That's not good, folks. He takes it away from his own D, and rims it around the boards to the other team.

The Finns in general were better thanI thought they'd be, but the penalties messed them up. For some reason I thought they were going to be a weak team this year.

Looked like Caufield was going for the Michigan when the puck was rolling behind net. Great shift.

 

[Zub]

I was wrong about us not being able to keep the puck in possession for 5 seconds, we can't keep it even 2.

 

[cleveland408]

I gotta say I'm quite surprised by this Finnish team. Most of them play in Finland's SM-Liiga and Mestis against men but they look overwhelmed. I wonder if this is the first and last year for Finland's new WJC coach.

Cmon Finland, get this stuff under control and start to test Knight.

 

[Zub]

Can even one breakoutpass be successful?

 

[snipes]

Once he gets stronger legs as he gets older over the next couple years, Lambert will be an absolute force.

Americans dominating the game right now.

 

[JackSlater]

US turned it on to start this period, looking good.

 

[FinPanda]

We haven't done anything since we scored.

 

[Luolis]

Wtf happened during the intermission. Finnish players looked like they didn't even realize that the period started.

 

[jj cale]

well, this could help right the ship

Wtf happened during the intermission. Finnish players looked like they didn't even realize that the period started.

special teams in the 1st probably rattled em a bit then caufield popped off

they don't look anything like they did in the 1st before the penalties

 

[ORRFForever]

Cmon Finland, get this stuff under control and start to test Knight.

Whether it's because the U.S. is too strong or Finland is too weak, the Finns look awful.

 

[Static]

Any site have a box score of this game?

 

[jj cale]

Jim sandlaks kid is a ref, nice!! looks just like him too.

 

[snipes]

Finns score!

3-2

 

[PanniniClaus]

Recipe for success..force the USA to take penalties and shoot the puck.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Caulfield has all the traits that a top NHL scorer has, you worry about the size in front of the net but if he can avoid taking the big hits he's gonna be good

 

[Canucks LB]

Let’s all agree on one thing guys, f*** is it ever nice to have hockey back

 

[Morgs]
