GDT: 2019 IIHF World Championships - Slovakia (Bratislava/Kosice) - May 10th to 26th

[Levitate]

Keller with a rough start

 

[CaptTennille]

Fox seems to be getting more icetime than I thought he'd get, starting on the third pair

I think the bigger ice plays to his strengths(which is funny considering skating is not one of them). Larger gaps give him an extra second to make decisions and bigger passing lanes. Combine that with elite poise and a next level processor and we are going to see a lot of touchdown passes.

Keller trying to go globetrotters there almost cost the US.

 

[CaptTennille]

Chytil practicing to show up Kravtsov

 

[Lays]

Rangers are gonna be a force down low soon with Chytil, Kakko, Andersson, and Kravtsov when they bulk up

Edit-beat to it by a few seconds

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I thought Quinn Hughes was horrible against Germany, but he was great in that period.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Sounds like a New York Ranger to me

All too familiar

Passing up a great scoring chance to pass to a man who was covered, not the greatest showing. Nice with the puck though.

That's exactly what I saw. Had a breakaway and passed to a covered guy. Kind of strange to me how this is considered a showing of "elite vision" or whatever. I have it as a questionable play. IMO you take the breakaway 100% of the time.

 

[RangerLifer]

Shero knows the Hughes family
Jack Hughes trains with Hall in the off-seasons
NJD coach John Hynes is currently the assistant coach on team USA, working with Hughes closely

Kakko's team TPS has ties with the Rangers
Reunanen (2016), Virta (2017), Pajuniemi (2018) drafted from TPS
Georgiev signed as an NHL free agent from TPS
Rangers Finnish EU scout Mikko Eloranta played for TPS and still is close with them


It just makes sense for Hughes to go 1st, and Kakko 2nd

Watch the Rangers pick Joe Schmo out of Russia or something like that. I just feel it in my bones.

Nothing in Rangers history suggests this is even remotely a possibility

Sure, with pick #20.

It was a joke. Anyway, I still have nightmares, flashbacks to the 2003 draft.

Wasn't really a breakaway. He was on his backhand and the goalie was set and square to him. He could have tried backhanding it but it would have been a tap in goal if the pass connected

Love QH, but he feels like young Subban right now, in the sense that he gets frustrated and tries to force plays

Enough with this dogshit already

 

[Levitate]

USA shooting themselves in the foot

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I'm a Q.Hughes fan as well, but he played sooooo passively the other day.

1st period today Quinn is the Quinn I know and love.

 

[Leetch3]

is chytil playing center or wing?

 

[Zibanejbread]

Jeez, USA.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Fox is a beast.

 

[Zibanejbread]

Why the hell did Eichel skate down to the corner when Fox was already there?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Suter covering the invisible man there.

 

[Levitate]

Suter covering the invisible man there.

Nah I think he had a guy in front of him, it was probably the left wingers man to cover at that point

 

[Fugazy]

I love Fox’s game.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Quinn has been excellent.
