Asterisk medal, so was last years though when they cheated having Canadian refs.

Just give credit where it's due. It's not that hard to do.

 

[EdJovanovski]

hes clearly very good, but he developed the same problem his brother quinn did in the wjc. trying to do everything himself. pass the f***ing puck in the offensive zone dude. interchange with ur teammates. he was a puckhog in the offensive zone and skated himself out of dangerous zone time.

That one play was awful where his teammate was open tapping his stick but he just kept skating around with his head down for no reason like Kakko does sometimes lol

Lame

its amazing how unorganized PPs are at this level. like in the nhl, teams clearly try to get a one timer, or work it low to get a bang bang play to the guy in the bumper spot. at this level they just try to get their best shooters to rip shots from anywhere and try to beat a goalie clean.

America was dominating and even all the Canadians on the main board agreed that that first goal being overturned was BS, that changed the trajectory of the game. And it is a fact they violated the rules last year and had Canadian refs.

love watching Canada lose

Not today son

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

The difference in this game was goaltending, for sure.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

HEAVE AWAY!!

 

[EdJovanovski]

Enjoy your Stanley Cup Canada!

Hughes’ team was down by multiple goals. Of course he was going to play more risky. I thought he was dominant out there - Devils have a great player.

Shane Wright is lol. That whole line was essentially benched for the third period but the man is the captain. Woof.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Enjoy your Stanley Cup Canada!

Won't have to flood the ice with all these tears

 

[EdJovanovski]

Won't have to flood the ice with all these tears

Could flood Arizona with all the tears of Canadians wanting another team
Can't wait for Bedard to bring the Yotes the cup

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Lots of really impressive players on the US team.

All the more reason for some credit, when they were down 2-0. Let's enjoy the anthem.

the nhl net commentator was raving about the usa goalie and i honestly cant believe what the f*** he was talking about. usa goalie didnt make one big save.

Lol. Arizona can't fit the cup in the rink with 2 teams there.

 

[nyr2k2]

Besides Bedard, Fantilli are there even many other draft eligibles in the game?

For the U.S., it's Luke Mittelstadt, who will probably be a late pick this year (second go-round), and then Brindley and Stramel who will both probably go mid-first to mid-second. The goalie, Augustine, too.

For Canada, outside who you mentioned, I think it's just the goalie, Milic.

 

[UnSandvich]

Not today son

Shame

 

[hackeyman]

He is, but he is a traitorous immigrant infiltrator!

Russian spy ?

 

[Lion Hound]

He's a Jets draft pick.

lol, I Thought he was draft eligible This year.

In the NHL, it's not about chances it's about results. Apparently in the WJC it's not about results it's about organization.

Charlie Stramel is the kid from the U.S. that screams Drury pick, to me. Big, strong, good shot, responsible, good but not great skater, higher floor but lower ceiling, USNTDP, etc.

thats Drury alright lol

 

[gravey9]

thats Drury alright lol

I hope we focus on high motor forwards who can skate well and a reliable shut down, mobile D.

 

[GAGLine]

Othmann has been the least impressive of our kids at the WJC, and I'm including Laba in that list (he's impressive just for making the team). I haven't seen him drive play at all. I expected more from him.
