Latvia vs. Canada

Post by crookedfeeder »

Slow start (horrible D; but not costly) to the period for Canada; but starting to come on (10 of the last 12 shots; P.P. helped).


Latvian goalie pretty good....and neutral zone trap.

0-0 after 1.

What I think people downplay is McKenna's vision and IQ.

That first assist last night was blind. He passed that knowing there should be someone in that spot. Or at the very least, he somehow saw the guy and threaded that pass to him.

Really high end.

Yes, he scores. But his IQ and passing should not be ignored.

Saw he has another helper tonight.

Yep…I mentioned that in the GDT last night. He’s so far ahead of every other player in this draft in regards to that IQ and vision. I believe he’s on a different level then Stenberg

McKenna has always been lauded for his vision but are the other areas enough to make him truly elite? I don’t know much about prospects

Will Zellers is having a Tournie.




What a steal of a trade for Boston. I thought it was basically Mittelstadt (not a fan) for Coyle. Sweet for the Bruins.

What was the injury?

Did USA win the game? We went out to dinner before Blues game so I haven't seen or heard anything.

USA won the game. Hutson was hit in the back of the head with a shot from the point but he also got hit at the same time. It was a weird injury. Stretchered off and taken to the hospital. They actually had to pause the game until a second ambulance was able to get on site because you can’t play with no ambulance onsite. Haven’t checked for any updates on him yet

Thanks for the update. Hope he is just rattled a bit and no serious injury
