GDT: 9/17 - USA vs. Team Europe - 3:30 ET

[SJSharksfan39]

The US really is leaving Quick out to dry. I'm still not a fan of the whole "None of the goals are Quick's fault" but at least he's putting the effort in, unlike some of the other players on Team USA, like Patrick Kane

 

[drewstar]

Okposo also wasn't selected and he was one of their better forwards available.

I forgot him you're absolutely right.

Okposo is the Taylor Hall of team USA.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

want to tell us what Kane has won without Toews, like ever

Ted Linsay Award , Art Ross Trophy and Hart Memorial Trophy

 

[General Zodd]

Yes sir that's certainly Quick's fault for making three saves in a row there!

 

[Canucks LB]

How long until kesler does something stupid and cause a brawl?

 

[jaloviina]

On a positive note. How fitting is Team Europe's goal son "Seven nation army" considering there are players from exactly seven different countries.

I have teached that song to our bands drummers girlfriend. and on the topic what are you doing team USA

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Nah, you'll be back . The Vikings have spirit. All the best for your country man, respect.

 

[Canucks LB]

Hossa is playing like he is young again.

 

[WesMcCauley]

lol we have 14 shots on goal

 

[Novak Djokovic]

What a save that was by Quick on Europe's PP.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Phil Kessel is injured. Stop asking why he isn't playing please.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Phil Kessel is injured. Stop asking why he isn't playing please.

He wasn't injured when they decided not to select him, but yes.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Is Joe Pavelski playing? I don't think I've heard his name since the US was on a PP in the 2nd.

Ted Linsay Award , Art Ross Trophy and Hart Memorial Trophy

ok he is good but nowhere near a complete player or the best, he gets a lot of points, sure. Thats like telling Yes and Genesis, Justin Beiber is a better musician because he sells more records.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Europe is playing a tight forechecking and team game. Reminds me of Team Finland. Good stuff .

 

[Neutral Hockey Fan]

Phil Kessel is injured. Stop asking why he isn't playing please.

Where are Faulk, okposo, T Johnson, shattenkirk, buff

 

[WesMcCauley]

Phil Kessel is injured. Stop asking why he isn't playing please.

Maybe he only says he is injured because he never wanted to be back in Toronto again

 

[Kuudere]

why is drai hardly playing...he didn't even get a chance on the 4 min PP

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

And TJ Broshie is playing on the 1st PP wave!!!

USA deserve to lose.

Johnson and Kessel would be completely ineffective on the PP if they were playing in Oshie's spot. Kessel can't take a one timer to save his life and Johnson isn't the net front presence that Oshie is.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

The biggest problem for USA is that they don't have any D men who's good at transferring the puck upward. The can really use Byfuglien, Faulk, Shattinkerk or even Fowler right now.

 

[JTD]

Europe is playing a tight forechecking and team game. Reminds me of Team Finland. Good stuff .

This game reminds me of the bronze medal game against Finland 2 years ago, so that makes sense

 

[Jonsson]

Bellemare might not be a star etc. but he sure is a workhorse...grinding...

 

[go comets]

Is Joe Pavelski playing? I don't think I've heard his name since the US was on a PP in the 2nd.

Did he stand for the National anthem?? Torts went on record saying anyone not standing for the anthems would be benched....

 

[GoldiFox]

Torts built team playing a Torts style straight to an embarrassing upset. Team is a reflection of the main man behind the bench.

 

[Tifosi]

ok he is good but nowhere near a complete player or the best, he gets a lot of points, sure. Thats like telling Yes and Genesis, Justin Beiber is a better musician because he sells more records.

You don't know what you're talking about but that's okay.
