Damn huge save by Rimpinen.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Oh shit! WHAT A SAVE BY RIMPINEN!

Thought Perreault had that for sure.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Oh Perreault hit the post. He couldn't get fully around Rimpinen.

 

[Leto]

Leonard is going to the better organization. He'll fit perfectly into their system, too.

I'm not sure what's going on in New York, but young players are often benched in favor of the veterans.

It's a good thing that Perreault didn't rush to leave college. If Lafreniere and Kakko are to go by, Perreault will be thrown to the (Hartford ) wolves.​

He'll play 3rd line with a grunt & get no PP time.

2nd period was fantastic. It's a really evenly played game.

Finland leads 3-2 after 2. Shots 28-26 Finland.

USA is still on the PP to start 3rd.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Canada has finally decided to put Dickinson on the point of PP. Bonk is still there, but in bumper spot (he plays there on London PP, too), along with Catton, Cowan & Ritchie.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

US ties it. Ziemer. 3-3.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Perrault aiming for the moon on that one lol.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Wow, what a sweet pass by Hagens for that Perreault break. Perreault skies it on his backhand (hits post).

Finland PP now. It's been mostly crap, but it has looked better today & they have a PPG already.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

That means Rehkopf is in, which isn't a bad idea. He brings size, speed & scoring. Martone hasn't done much.

Martone looked a little slower than I expected, wasn’t a physical force

 

[Habs]

I can't find the game on TSN wtf

Hagens is having the best showing for draft eligibles, right?

Schaeffer was great but sadly out for a while now

 

[MarkovsKnee]

USA takes another penalty. They just killed one off.

Finland outshooting US 35-28.

Yeah, Hagens has been solid at both ends. He's making quality plays. Schaefer was fantastic in the 1 game & 5 minutes that he played.

TSN4

 

[Habs]

TSN4

Ahhh ok thx

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Martone looked a little slower than I expected, wasn’t a physical force

Yeah, he looked slow. He wasn't moving his feet. I like Hagens a lot.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

OMG, KANGAS MISSED AN OPEN NET!

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Yeah, he looked slow. He wasn't moving his feet. I like Hagens a lot.

If his shot improves he’s an easy #1 center, passing is elite

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Oh shit, he hits the foot of Hagens. Lol Wide open, Kangas. Wide!!

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I’m cheering for everyone in the top-4 this WJC treating them all as future Habs prospects, hopefully one of them is

Tourney of teenagers and 1 gamers with hot goalies. Canada had little trouble with Finland who is now tied late with the US and should actually be winning

He has a good shot he just prefers to pass right now, especially with Perreault & Leonard on his wings.

I'm not worried about his size. He competes & his skating is excellent. He's going to be a good player for sure.

Finland is playing much better than they did against Canada. Better forecheck, net drive & physicality.

It's a pretty evenly played game. 3-3 tie fits.
