GDT: 9/18/16 - North America Vs Finland - 8PM ET (II)

[The Winter Soldier]

Scheifele reminds me of Lazar on McDavid's wing. I think McD and Matthews should stay and someone else should get moved up there.

Scheifele reminds me a bit like Bergeron. Whatever line he is on, he just makes it better. Did this at the WHC also. Just one of those players that seem to impact positively on a line.

 

[WTFMAN99]

2 goals and 1 assist in his first game of the Young Stars Classic.

Nice. That is good.

 

[Pi]

This team has a legit shot to win. We won't know how good they are until tomorrow against a better team in Russia who should be desperate to win.

 

[antiqueslivers]

pretty sure Mcdavid and matthews would not be pleased with schieffle being removed from their line.

 

[ijuka]

Have to say I don't like that goal.
That 2nd line has been absolutely brutal, that's the line that killed us in the 2nd with Rinne and now they scored a goal and Marjamaki is probably happy with that line.

Agreed. It's been Finland' worst line, goal or not.

And it's the second line over Barkov. Another issue.

 

[snipes]

This score is flattering. Could have been much worse.

 

[Tripod]

Colton parayko has not impressed me at all. Scratch him for Trouba next game.

He and a Ghost have been a very good pairing....on the ice for 3 goals for scored at ES.

And was named #2 star...lol.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Yes. Playoffs 6 months ago have nothing on one pre-season game today.

Rinne has over the last four years been one of the statistically worst goaltenders in the league. The deeper you go into the numbers, the worse it gets. Compared to his baseline, that playoffs are more of an outlier than this is. He's not the same guy that he used to be, unfortunately.

 

[spacemunky]

lol this is a joke right ? He's be one of the best players for NA nearly every single game

Totally impressing me. No ****ing way he sits a single game.

Hasn't really made McDavid/Matthews a whole lot better. Cost the line a goal. He was clearly the third wheel there.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Does Murray start again tomorrow?

 

[48g90a138pts]

Mattews with third star WTF????

 

[Dbrownss]

Responsible for 2 goals none the less lol

 

[SullivanT]

Boards looked pretty cool there. Looks funky every time the ice shavings go up from the skates though

 

[WillTheThrill]

3rd Star for Matthews, had the most shots in the game. Thought he was only on the team because the tourney was in TOR though?

 

[PhilJets]

The **** are you talking about? Lmao.

That entire play started with Scheifele on the forecheck.

Yup people only see the end result. never how it developed.

In my earlier post, I said Schiefele is the real center on this line.

Having Matthews and McDavid have a go at it.
He is being responsible. IT's good and it's bad



Anyways, I think SIDNEY CROSBY best game will be against this SUPER FAST and SKILLED NA team.

 

[antiqueslivers]

predicting russia to come out swinging tomorrow against NA.

 

[Divine]

Mattews with third star WTF????

Should have been Laine IMO.

 

[Cambodian Fouler]

Mattews with third star WTF????

Agreed, should have been McD

 

[48g90a138pts]

No star for Murray guys he played like crap

 

[Auston Marlander]

That entire play started with Scheifele on the forecheck.

Of the 3, he had the wosrt game. One shift doesn't change that.

However they all played a great game and I wouldn't change a thing for tomorrow.

 

[Canuckistani]

Um when they both advance past the round robin stage.


Just go to bed, you spend way too much time trying to heckle something you say you don't care about.

I wonder what other laughable ideas you folks will buy.

No wonder the NHL is so far behind more serious sports leagues.

[Morbo]

Really impressed with Nathan MacKinnon's WC so far.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

He and a Ghost have been a very good pairing....on the ice for 3 goals for scored at ES.

And was named #2 star...lol.

Ghost had a shaky start to the game but settled down. I thought Parayko was very good in general.
