GDT: WJC, NYE, Slovakia vs USA, 6am EST

[TLEH]

If we’re strictly talking about defensive play he was brutal in the Swiss game too

Didn't really want to call him brutal because the puck didn't go in against him, but he definitely got pushed around.

 

[TLEH]

Brindley having himself a tourney!

 

[MTU34]

How exactly was this kid not a first rounder?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Brindley is seriously impressive.

 

[Jukurit]

Holy f*** what a goal by Brindley!

 

[clydesdale line]

Brindley is the anti Hutson as far as midgets go.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Brindley doing his best Jesper Bratt impression.

He was my comp at the draft, feeling better and better about it.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Brindley is the anti Hutson as far as midgets go.

Yes. He is mediocre and Hutson isn't.

 

[TLEH]

Brindley and Fantilli are going to work well together on a line.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Yes. He is mediocre and Hutson isn't.

If that is what you have gotten out of this tournament you need help.

 

[clydesdale line]

Yes. He is mediocre and Hutson isn't.

LOL Hutson has been absolute trash.

 

[Gritty]

Brindley doing his best Jesper Bratt impression.

He was my comp at the draft, feeling better and better about it.

Just saw this now and laughed… been watching him play and thought he looked like Bratt out there. The kid is very impressive and drives play well

 

[MTU34]

Yes. He is mediocre and Hutson isn't.

There is simply no way one can sit down and watch gavin Brindley play and objectively come to the conclusion that he’s “mediocre”

Brindley doing his best Jesper Bratt impression.

He was my comp at the draft, feeling better and better about it.

Bratt + more bite and a non stop motor. He might end up being quite good

 

[TLEH]

Yes. He is mediocre and Hutson isn't.

I mean from a MTL perspective, I would be more excited about Mesar at the NHL level than Hutson.

 

[clydesdale line]

Now Brindley laying his body out blocking a shot. Kid is doing it all.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

If that is what you have gotten out of this tournament you need help.

It's one tournament. Hutson is more talented.

 

[tobu]

Not a good day for Slovakia. Couple players out, bad call on 2nd goal, no Gajan.

Augustine really good in net on the US side.

Still plenty of time though

 

[TLEH]

Augustine has been great.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I mean from a MTL perspective, I would be more excited about Mesar at the NHL level than Hutson.

Then you have absolutely no idea how to evaluate players.

 

[vlady]

Pisoja is back, that's good news

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Augustine has been great.

Hasn't been tested.

 

[clydesdale line]

AUGUSTINE!

 

[MTU34]

Hasn't been tested.

Are you even watching this game?

 

[TLEH]

Hasn't been tested.

Yes he has. Just got tested again after Hutson tries to do too much, Mesar picks his pocket.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

It's one tournament. Hutson is more talented.

I watch Brindley and I see no way that isn't an NHL player in some capacity. What heights he reaches is to be determined but that is a guy with an NHL career as a floor. Hutson has a higher ceiling but if he doesn't reach that ceiling he will be unplayable in the NHL.
