Hart has mad poise, Price-like indeed, that's what I thought too.

Was more the clearing attempt right to the Finn with the empty net that bugs me on that one, a product of getting out muscled down low sure, but if he clears that it's actually one hell of defensive play, he just passed it right to the guy is all.
Yeah, too loosey goosey in their own end, coughing the puck up on the breakouts like the Leafs, they're all offence right now, they'll have to tighten that shit up, can't be doing that in the elimination rounds.

It's making them a little cocky actually, they're already playing like the Habs, just relying on the goalie to bail them out.

Yeah, for a team up 3-1, they look like shit early. Got to get our shit together before we blow it Leafs style.

They are a little Leaf like, all speed and firepower, but no big horse on the back end, also taking dumb penalties, and throwing Freddie Vezina to the wolves, except there's no Auston Matthews on this team, so they better get their shit together on the possession side of things.

See that was pretty Leaf like right thur, fancy pancing out of their own zone on the breakout, and gave the puck away four times in a row.

Must win against Belarus. First half was a bit nervous but then they got the job done. Erik Brännström and Lias Andersson were best.

Reaching in with the stick, takes a lazing tripping call in the O-zone, lets Finland back into the game on the PP, they're looking more and more Leaf like by the second here.

Chinese fire drill in front of their own net, nobody getting boxed out, defenders flopping all over the ice, all very familiar to Leaf fans.

That's a huge one, atta boy Raddysh! It's knuckle puck time! 4-2 Canada, late in the second.
