GDT: 2018 IIHF World Championship

Zibanejad with the game winner in OT. He’s looked like a star in this tourney.

if we get a healthy season out of him, i think we will see a star NHL center.

Agreed. I think the ship has probabaly sailed on a Kreider having a huge breakout - he still might hit 30 goals but it’s mostly a nice round number not a huge jump from what he’s been doing.

Zbad I think still has a real shot of becoming a significantly better player next year. He’s still young and has been lights out since getting over the concussion.

Russia is sticking with the same starting goalie.

Russia is sticking with the same starting goalie.

I am not even remotely surprised by this.

This is on the 'water is wet' level of shocking.

Shesty would need to glove down literal bullets to become the starter for one of his teams.

Some of the equipment is made of kevlar, I think you need to set the bar a little higher. I am thinking something like a grenade or missile. lol

Or simply go play for the Rangers.

Man, the IIHF website is such dogpoo.

Are you on the old one? I don't know why they haven't taken it down

Canada getting worked by Finland 5-1.

Canada getting worked by Finland 5-1.

Glorious! I enjoy every game Canada loses

Canada getting worked by Finland 5-1.

They were hang over...

One week to go in the tournament, now they will get down to business. Every WCH there are reports of players being out partying. They certainly didn’t look close to 100% in this game.

Jacob De La Rose shaving Lias' "beard."

Enjoy.

I'll be in my bunk

Or simply go play for the Rangers.

The more he gets disrespected by his Russian teams, the higher the chances he comes over

 

[Machinehead]

Bold prediction: Zibanejad is next captain of the Rangers.

"Yo, DJ Mika!"

"That's Captain DJ Mika to you..."

Really bold, I doubt It but wouldn't have a problem with it.

I sure hope not. I'd rather they give it to a player that, when ruined by the C, will impact the team less.

True. It seems to be cursed.

Shesterkin will be in the net in one of the upcoming back-to-backs against Slovakia (likely) or Sweden.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Arvidsson and Hornqvist playing tonight.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Shesterkin will be in the net in one of the upcoming back-to-backs against Slovakia (likely) or Sweden.

Awesome.

I'd prefer to see him in the Sweden game, but Slovakia should still be a step up in work-load from Belarus.

All we can really ask is that he keeps shining in the opportunities that he gets. If Koschekin (sp?) stumbles in the next few games, maybe Shesty gets a chance to step in and play hero.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

I am concerned about Zib's playmaking, it is just not very good or average at best. He put up same assist totals as Fast, who was mostly 3rd/4th liner without PP time.

LoL, Mika's play making is far superior than Fast's.

 

[Phoicon]

Chytil with an amazing move, stickhandling between two guys - then shoots, hits the crossbar and goes in from a linemate. Mind you, he was blasted just minutes ago with a huge hit that led to a 10-minute penalty.

 

[Phoicon]

Not clear, but Chytil was showed leaving to the dressing room before the period´s end. Unclear whether that was before his crazy move or after it.
