Brodie ZiemerUS vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024)5/2/2024Steals in the neutral zone, goes hard to the net and shows shot, then no-looks to Hagens for the easy open-net goal. Great play.

Hockey Prophets Player Notes
NameNote TypeNoteWriterGame WatchedGame DateDate ViewedGame Number
Lian BichselNoteExcellent size. Looks so big on the ice and uses every bit of his frame to lean on and overpower opponents.Brian FogartyRussia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022)11/27/202111/29/202110252
Lian BichselNoteTurns back under forecheck pressure, cuts and turns, can't match the speed of the forechecker so he uses his body to protect the puck until help arrives.Brian FogartyRussia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022)11/27/202111/29/202110252
Lian BichselNoteLacks straightline speed, but his first couple of steps are very good for the big man and he's agile on his skates.Brian FogartyRussia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022)11/27/202111/29/202110252
Lian BichselNoteAfter the whistle, give Michkov a chop to the back of the knee that the refs missed. Brian FogartyRussia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022)11/27/202111/29/202110252
Lian BichselNoteSolid hit puts the Russian forward into the bench.Brian FogartyRussia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022)11/27/202111/29/202110252
Lian BichselNoteWhiffs on a one-timer attempt.Brian FogartyRussia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022)11/27/202111/29/202110252
Lian BichselNoteGood example of how he uses his size: with the puck going into the defensive zone corner and his teammate about to the be the first player to it, Bichsel looks back over his shoulder, sees the forechecker closing, then alters his line and pace to set up a moving screen and allow his teammate more time to gather the puck and ready a breakout.Brian FogartyRussia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022)11/27/202111/29/202110252
