U20: World Junior Summer Showcase, July 28-Aug. 5, 2017, Plymouth, Michigan

[VictorLustig]

USA D looked far better, gave swedens forwards no time and space meanwhile sweden's D gave U.S Defense much more time and space to work.

I don't know, did you watch that 1st period?

How was jesper boqvist?

How was jesper boqvist?

I thought he had a pretty good cerebral first period at center. He has the hands, patience and hockey sense to play center at the next level. Knowing this, to get a potential 1st line center early in the second round I think NJ did really well for themselves.

How was jesper boqvist?

good speed , good hands, a little slight but not too bad. Makes things happen. Could have more offense than Mcleod need to watch more.

He is definitely a more natural offensive center than McLeod. Everything McLeod creates to due to speed, Boqvist has nice vision and very good hands to create lanes. I see a poor man's Backstrom through and through.

It is no coincidence that sweden won 1 game with dahlin and lost the other 2 without him.

 

[VictorLustig]

Boqvist plays waay too much on the perimeter, very ineffective player at this level.

Didn't he have 3 good scoring chances in this game and I'm pretty sure his passing % in the offensive zone was pretty damn high. Not sure what else you want from your center, maybe he just has insufficient levels of pugnacity, testosterone, truculence and belligerence which I don't give a **** about.

Does anyone know of any live streams accessible from the US?

I sure hope our final roster looks nothing like that...

 

[Baemon Severson*]

Wow- Boqvist looks good as hell

 

[jj cale]

Ang with the nice snipers hands/shot there.

Smooth.

 

[Zaddy]

Really don't like what I've seen from Moverare in this tournament. Feels like he's been on the ice for a lot of goals against.

EDIT: And now he takes a penalty because he can't keep up.

 

[ijuka]

Sometimes I wonder if Button actually knows which player is which.

Make it another horrible turnover that leads to a canadian goal by Moverare. Jesus. He's brutal.

Agree, hasn't impressed me in any game. Today he's been brutal.

 

[siegeofshanghai*]

doesnt look good for sweden at WJC. Our junior goalies are garbage. Cant stop a beachball.

 

[NarcoPolo]

How do Erik and Timmy compare so far in the game today?

 

[Joe Hallenback]

I think Canada's D will be Makar,Stanley,Foote,Fabbro,Girard,Mahura and Clague

Wasn't it Linus Söderström who let in double digits against the US a couple of years ago? Played fantastic at the WJC.

soderstrom was way more talented then the current scrubs.
