NameNote TypeNoteWriterGame WatchedGame DateDate ViewedGame Number
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNotePowerful skating strides, good technical form, builds speed easily and converts power to direction changes with nice edges.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteBeats out the icing with speed and effort.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteBig frame which he uses well to shield the puck from defenders.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteGood vision to pick out the long diagonal pass through the neutral zone, but a bit off target.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteSneaky reach out and pull back gets him around the US defender.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteHe's so fast for a guy that is 6'1, 200 pounds. Power skater.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteOut on the powerplay at the start of the second period. He's right point on the top unit.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteSmoking wrist shot comes off of his stick low and hard, blocked. Fortescue is hurting after that one.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteAgain on the powerplay right point, takes the puck, walks in to the top of the circle and rips a wrist shot just over the far corner and rattles the glass. He's got a powerful wrist shot.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteNice, physical pin along the defensive zone boards.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteVision is pretty good, he's finding the right plays, but his passing is a little inaccurate. He'll get there, though.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteTakes a hard line up ice and is rewarded with the pass for a clean break. Fires a hard shot far side but Augustine gets just enough of it with the edge of his blocker.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteActive on defense, but doesn’t look at comfortable back there. Not bad, for sure, but looks just a little uncertain.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteAnother nice hit along the boards.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteRushing up ice, the pass comes to him but it's in his skates. He handles it well, gets the puck to his stick and continues up ice without breaking momentum.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteRattles the crossbar, up and out. His shot is so hard as his leans heavily into his stick.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteFishing in his own zone, relying on his stick instead of bodying up the opposition. That will be coached out of him, but his defensive play is still a work in progress.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardNoteAny doubts about his skating are answered there as his is able to stick with the near-elite skating of Lane Hutson.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
Michael Brandsegg-NygardSummaryBig, strong power forward with a massive wrist shot and excellent skating. As he develops, and if he can get some bad habits out of his defensive game and build a low-post power element to add to his blistering wrist shot, he could become a beast of an NHL forward.Brian FogartyNorway vs USA (WJC 2024)12/26/20234/2/202410301
