frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 Love this tournament, it has everything the NHL lacks: all-star-teams, intensity, blood rivalries and of course a bunch of young kids who just love the game. Can't wait for USA vs Canada to start should be a good one and for many of us a first look at the upcoming number 1 pick in the draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 USA and Canada are solid teams. So glad I get to miss this because we aren't done with Christmas apparently.. Can you see my frustration? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 A technical and fast skating Sweden won comfortably over Switzerland 8-3. However 2 possible concussions to key players on the Swede team, including William Nylander, the AHL point leader and future Leaf star. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcaractac 3,963 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Hicketts looking damn good. Will be interesting to follow him as opposition gets bigger.I think as long as he can handle hockey at the ahl level next year, he will absolutely be with the Wings some day. The guy works too hard to not make it assuming his game translates to pro hockey.Tsn guys mentioned how Kronwall assumed he was a first round pick, only to be told the Wings signed him undrafted lol Edited December 26, 2015 by marcaractac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 He stands out as a defenseman in the canadian national team, which is a big feat. Hicketts has serious skills, let's hope he can handle NHL size. 1 marcaractac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Berzeench 310 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 Is Andrei Svechnikov playing in this? He is the player I'm most interested in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 Evgeny Svechnikov. Yes he is. Russia won 2-1 against the Czechs earlier in a shootout. No points. Played a pretty good game though, generated a few quality chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 Gotcha. Don't get why one of the Red Wings top prospects' 15 year old brother would be the player you're most interested in seeing play, but to each their own I guess... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matt198913 932 Report post Posted December 28, 2015 Fun game between the Sweedes and the USA. Sweede goalie being a beast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Sweden won against USA 1-0, mostly thanks due to the goalie, who shut out a good US team, including 16 shorthanded minutes (a lifetime in hockey). Unfortunately he isn't drafted by the Wings, rather the Islanders. --- Axel Holmström, who is drafted by the Wings, looked sharp overall in this game and in his previous first game. Good pickup, for sure. Edited December 28, 2015 by Jacksoni Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted December 28, 2015 I like Holmstrom but I think he tops out as a 3rd line center / 2nd line winger... which is great for a 7th round pick. Another steal for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
