....ya....no...not that Quinn....

 

I just mean that he will have his own persona that people will be comparing younger prospects to....very soon...

 

 

I knew what you meant.   I have posted similar about people doing silly comparisons - in my mind Quinn Hughes will become the next Quinn Hughes.

i haven't seen utinen playing yet but i didn't tune in until the second period. 

the question was about playing at jack hughes' age and ability level. it isn't about nhl careers. 

orr changed the way defensemen played the game. i can't believe that he didn't dominate his position before he got to the nhl.

Looks a little jittery and unstable, but time will tell...

yes he is out there.  playing more in the 3rd period.  not as involved as he was against canada. 

i wish they would do more of a play by play.  especially when we don't know many players.

Utunen was well used in the 2nd and 3rd periods and played his usual steady game....but I did not see him out there in the 1st period....so I think they are saving him as there PK ace D.,...

 

cheers...

Sounds like a Chatfield type player.

2022 is the next winters in China. NHL will definitely let the players go to open that market up more.

 

unfortunately the Canadians will be ranked third I bet heading in. US-Sweden-Canada.

 

we are lagging behind. The US development program is killer. 

 

My cousin has a shot for the 2022 US women’s team too. That’ll be weird for me to cheer for them. Lol

The US draws from an incredibility large population pool.  I have always wondered why we didn't see this sooner.  Also, coaching methods have changed a lot as well and the methods get taught to coaches all over the world,  Our world has gotten smaller and people are sharing what works.:)
