Tough to say how much offensive potential he has, but I can’t see anyway Danielson doesn’t make the NHL as at least a 3rd line C. His speed and defensive IQ is already NHL level

Refs letting both teams play rather than calling a bunch of ticky tack calls.
Canada really needs to start playing more physical especially on the forecheck.

They have won the Gold medal 3 out of the last 4 years and the Silver the other time…..I guess that Silver really hurt?
Relax… lol
Canada has won the last 2 tournaments. As well as 3 of the last 4 and 4 of the last 6.
We are missing Bedard, Fantilli, Wright and others who are injured. And we are still winning right now.
It’s a little early to be predicting our demise before the first game is half over.

The ice seems kind of shitty too. Lots of guys falling all over the place untouched, looks like men’s league ice at 10:30 pm

Canada making Finland look better than they’re actually playing atm, very sloppy by both.
Our PP set-up is weird, no Hämeenaho or Nyman

A lot of the good Canadians who are eligible are in the NHL/AHL or injured...
NHL: Bedard, Fantilli, Benson, Korchinksi
AHL: Wright
Injured: Molendyk, Luneau
The team would be 40% different with all eligible players available.

I've found Kasper Kulonummi (Preds prospect) to be one of the more noticeable players for Finland

Concerns about the Canadian blueline seem well founded right now. They're alright in their own zone but their skating is largely meh and they're lacking a couple puck movers. Mateychuk is gonna play big minutes and he's the only guy (right now) that I trust to efficiently get the puck up the ice.
With that said, it's early, it's big ice, and Rousseau looks as comfortable as he does in the Q. The forward group has plenty of depth and will need to overwhelm teams that way.

I don't think it's as bleak as you say. Canada isn't really playing a NA style. They are forcing the middle. There is no cycle, not sustained anyway. Just one and dones because the Finland D is playing deep and tight.
HOWEVER the program of excellence needs to adapt. The US system of developing a team through the ages and keeping them together is paying off very well. Our system of just scouting the CHL and putting 23 players together is showing its age. Remember other programs are built to counter the program of excellence. I was worried about goaltending and still kind of am. I think our Forwards and D are fine provided they adapt to what happens on the ice when they aren't in control.

I think he's trying too much, thinking he's an NHL player he has to be better
He should keep his game simple
