I wanted to see Rasmussen and Bouchard on the same PP, like I was thinking I might see for a long time before the draft. Dobson's cool too

Yeah, it makes no sense he had a nice assist on a shot from the point last game. I noticed Smith isn't playing either. I was really looking forward to seeing Bouchard play tonight.

This lineup choice doesn't make a lot of sense unless they plan on stacking the lineup the next two games.

Yeah, at least we have Dobson on the back end to watch tonight.

Rasmussen down low and Bouchard QBing the PP would have been nasty to see tonight, I imagine those two will have a major role at the 2019 WJC.

Rasmussen will probably be cashing NHL checks at that time, but I still hope to see the combination at some point!

I think youre reading into it too much.. they probably have some lines and guys that they want to see, its a tryout and Bouchard is a lock come boxing day I would think. Dobson is also a lock so they probably didnt put Bouchard in and have 2 locks in the same line up

There's a shift by shift video of Hughes on the game already, there were no "four or so" really bad defensive actions not only in the first period, but the whole game. He had "four or so" really GOOD defensive actions throughout the game.

This video has literally debunked all of what you said about Hughes defensively tonight. I had watched the game, and I was surprised by your comments, and really the only thing I took from this shift by shift was nothing, other than the fact that you aren't a reliable person.

My mistake. It was the first half of the game, not the first period. But go ahead and try to attack me. I couldn't care less.

This is just from the first half of the game. I didn't bother to look over the second half of the game.

4:00-Forechecked well, forward shoves him off the puck. Needs help from partner. USA can't clear the zone. Shift leads to a Sweden goal that was started by Hughes losing the puck.

6:05-Can't control a puck that the goalie knocked away right in front of the net. Leads to the shift being extended.

6:20-Same shift. Tries to corral the puck, doesn't have a play to make, knocked to the ice and loses the puck.

8:05-Walked. Goalie bails him out. The play continues. He tries to retrieve the puck after the makes the save. Trips over his teammate Kemp, and gives up the puck. Leads to Sweden zone time where he gets fooled by a move from a Sweden player who had no angle. Leads to the player having space to make an uncontested pass to a guy right in front.

9:35-Stick isn't on the ice as Sweden enters the zone, allows a pass to a player outside of him that would've been deflected away with proper stick positioning. Player takes a bad angle shot and hits the side of the net. Goes chasing after it with Hughes. Both overrun the puck, another player takes control. Hughes does a good job to steal it from that player, but then another Swedish forward comes to take it away from Hughes. Sweden retains zone time. Sweden player then shoots the puck into Hughes skates. He can't find it right away. Ends up chipping it around the boards to his brother who doesn't have much of a play to make and turns the puck over right in front of his net. Scramble leads to more Swedish possession. The puck eventually comes to Hughes again. He must be tired by this point, and he takes too long to make a play. Sweden takes the puck back in a scrum and eventually cleanly establishes possession again.
 
Bit sloppy so far, but it's hockey in August. No complaints.

Dellandrea has some good wheels.
 
There. You heard it. Button said Finns dont oversell theyre prospects! no hyping here. ever.
 
Jea fantastic.. now Kakko is out... hohhoi and Lindberg the 5th choice netminder for WJC lets in stinker.. shame the finns dont care about this tournament

Love the way Comtois plays. Shut up Button, physical hockey is part of the Canadian way.

Biased here as an Anaheim fan.. couldn't agree more with you. Canadian WJC teams have fallen into the trap in years past by not taking players with sandpaper to their game. I imagine the coaching staff has zero issue with how he's playing, Summer Showcase game or not.

Did I miss him or are they not using Rasmussen on the PP? I guess they wanna get a look at the other big boys
