You either go out swinging or you die by a thousand cuts like Czechia did.

Yup. Just go out play & have fun.

Smith scores.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Pretty nice burst of speed by Smith to split D.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Strbak took his eye off Smith...1-0. Great pass by Perrault.

 

[BergevinBurner]

 

[WeThreeKings]

Smith already all over the game

 

[Schooner Guy]

No shots on goal tracker on the screen. Reminds me of watching ESPN NHL coverage.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Dvorskys linemates are so not to the pace of this one so far.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Urban's in for a busy day.

Leonard and Perrault just had a clean 2 on 0.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Urban save on 2 on 0. Crazy.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Eiserman is a lot of fun to watch. For a 16-year-old he's already super projectable as a pro, you can really see it. His brothers are all pretty big so he might very well end up in the 6ft2, 205 range, he'll be real hard to contain at that size with his tools .

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Holy shit Urban!

What a f***ing save on Eiserman!

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Urbans a battler, love how he competes. Definitely worth a mid rounder IMO

 

[SOLR]

That's where you see the difference of depth.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Urban has been great this tournament.

Habs should draft 2 goalies, imo.

Smith made the bad pass but stripped Dvorsky and immediately creates a 2 on 0.

Agree. Definitely think we should take 2.

 

[SOLR]

Moore with some draft hotdogging, I hate this stuff.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Imagine Smith passing to Caufield. Jesus.

 

[Schooner Guy]

That was strange. The delayed line change by USA after Smith threw it towards the USA bench seemed to throw off Slovakia who should have taken advantage of the ill advised pass by Smith.

 

[atrud66]

Moore attempting the in between the legs shot/pass for absolutely no reason lmao. Just why?

 

[SOLR]

Imagine Smith passing to Caufield. Jesus.

I agree he'd be a better center than Suzuki for Caufield. I really see Suzuki moving back to RW sooner than we expect if we draft a center.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Imagine Smith passing to Caufield. Jesus.

We better have a defensive minded LW with them.

 

[NotProkofievian]

If I wish Dalibor had one thing better, it would be one on one ability. Doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

If I wish Dalibor had one thing better, it would be one on one ability. Doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve.

It's where his skating hurts him a bit more IMO. He manages fine in other areas but one on one he has a hard time putting the other player in trouble.

 

[atrud66]

I think Cole Hutson has better raw tools than Lane did at the same age but I think Lane may make better decisions with the puck. Nice goal though

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Hutson. 2-0. Slipped it through Urban.
