How did you miss the kid Armia from FIN side.. That guy played like a beast with sick dangles..
Hartikainen+Hemsky Hybrid.
Yeah I was really impressed. He dangled Rielly really badly in the third period and laid off a nice pass to a wide open _____ in the slot forcing Subban to make a really good save.
Since we're discussing all the JR's in here, how about that Alex Galchenyuk. He looked like Malkin out there at times.
Boone Jenner ejected from the game after destroying Sweden defender Pettersson with a late hit. Based on the replay I saw Jenner may be facing further discipline.
Who's # 17? I watched a few shifts where he was slamming quite a few Swedish meatballs heavily into the boards. Looked pretty determined...at least near the end of the game.

Nuge looked better on the draws today at least. Not sure if there's stats on it but I think he won at least half.
No need to do it until they've played in the actual tournament but I agree that the top line might need a shake up. Putting Mackinnon up there to fly in on the forcheck and wreak havoc could open up some seams for RNH to exploit. I haven't really liked Scheifele that much besides the pretty play against Finland but I don't want to make too many judgements until a real game is played.
I don't know how Spott can justify only 6 minutes considering he only had 10 forwards. MacKinnon made some really strong plays physically, defensively and offensively; he didn't do anything to warrant sitting so much. Yes, the entire 2nd period was almost entirely spent on the PK but he should have played a lot more in the 3rd.
