Hickey wasn't noticeable if you weren't watching him, but if you did, you saw the most polished blue liner Canada iced. I missed the first ten minutes of the game, but aside from his rush at the end (where a forward should have covered him) he didn't make a remotely questionable decision with the puck. His passes are crisp, his skating was fluid and powerful, and his awareness looks to be pro level.
This is our Hjalmarsson.
