GDT: Switzerland vs Austria and Finland vs USA Exhibition Games

[Erikfromfin]

Jepjep neither of these teams will win gold with this kind of display

 

[Luolis]

Viro is so damn hazardous sometimes with the puck... To be fair, he does the same stuff in Liiga so it's not too surprising.

 

[JackSlater]

Good two periods. USA looks better other than when the goaltender handles the puck. I thought that Finland would look better with players that have a decent number of games under their belts.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

As a ducks fan LaCombe is the surprise for me, he was drafted as a project but he's had a good game he might move up the depth chart

Stay out of the box and we should be fine.

Yep, and just throw the puck at Knight, I dunno, he looks very average to me from all my viewings.

 

[Zub]

Half the Team Finland's roster can't even closely keep up, the difference is day in night.

He's playing next to Sanderson on the second pairing rn, I doubt he moves any higher tbh.

He looked good on the pp though.

Wolf struggling handling the puck

I thought it was Knight in?

 

[Trunz05]

Gotta agree with button here Caufield just has tho goal scorer instincts. He hasn’t shown me anything impressive in the rest of his game yet but damn the kid can score. That backhand was sick.

Wolf came in around half way through the 2nd.

 

[FinPanda]

Lambert probably the best Finn so far.

thanks, that's what a Moms call does to a guys life.

I'm not sure why all the Turcotte hate. He's a hard forechecker, he had a really nice cross-ice pass that bounced off his linemate's stick, he's working hard. Zegras looking great doesn't mean Turcotte looks bad.

His overall game has picked up quite a bit. Its had to playing for Wisconsin

He hasn't been bad, he just hasn't been very good and he is supposed to be one of USA best players.

Agreed

I was expecting him to be 7th D if he plays top 4 ill be pleasantly surprised

They don’t have many guys who play on the right he should keep his position at this rate

 

[BusQuets]

Lambert probably the best Finn so far.

Niemela for sure.

Remember it's all about point. No score no good apparently

Posters, especially in WJC threads, like to focus on the flashy players so guys like Turcotte who do so many of the little things right but aren't overly flashy go unnoticed sometimes.
