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

[General Zodd]

i missed the beginning and am curious..what anthem does NA use?

USA
Canada
Finland

in that order!

 

[Woll Smoth]

I'm pretty sure they do both.

Yup.

 

[Keeptdos]

Can't really blame him for the goal that went in though. That PP is ridiculously talented. Matthews with the entry, Eichel and McDavid right there at the doorstep.

That goal is on Rinne though. There was nothing special on that goal. Good zone enter by Matthews and then sloppy rebound and lost the puck.

 

[Paradoc]

3 penalties against NA so far. Need to clean it up, they are dominating 5 on 5 play.

Two you mean? The second one was on the Fins.

 

[LarryO]

i missed the beginning and am curious..what anthem does NA use?

Both US and Canadian anthems.

 

[Ezekial]

ah..thanks..cheers

He's a liar. Both

 

[NyQuil]

Sportsnet just said there is penalty coming up to Team Canada!

I don't think Hughson is used to it.

 

[Pi]

This is the only tournament we'll ever get to hear it. McDavid will be representing Canada next time an event like this is held.

Canada is stacked though. It will make future tournaments so much more exciting. Matthews, Eichel, Larkin will be replacing the garbage on team USA like Abdelkader and Dubinsky.

 

[Leafidelity]

ah..thanks..cheers

He's wrong, they did both CAN and US anthems

 

[48g90a138pts]

It's fitting that the 3 biggest names in the past two drafts were all in the first official goal for team NA.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Team NA is spending so much time and effort on the rolling forecheck that they're giving up the zone so easily. It's not efficient.

 

[snipes]

Two you mean? The second one was on the Fins.

Sorry, you are correct.

 

[heretik27]

What's this penalty for? They cut to a commercial right away :/

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Rinne is so shaky. i don't trust him at all right now

Yeah, he's the one that looks nervous, whereas Murray looks like the vet.

Maybe he will settle down as the game goes on. Finns have a great backup in Rask though.

 

[trostol]

lol well thanks for setting me straight..

 

[Leafs87]

Rask was terrible during the preliminary. They had to go with Rinne.

Price was a little shaky too but you give your best tender a chance when the real games start IMO

 

[Paradoc]

Canada is stacked though. It will make future tournaments so much more exciting. Matthews, Eichel, Larkin will be replacing the garbage on team USA like Abdelkader and Dubinsky.

+ Gaudreau and S Jones. Jones cannot be any worse than Jack Johnson.

 

[Pi]

Wow Team NA plays back to back? This is pretty much a must win for them then.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Ekblad so strong.

 

[Finnsane]

It's fitting that the 3 biggest names in the past two drafts were all in the first official goal for team NA.

Wait, what did Laine do?

 

[Pi]

+ Gaudreau and S Jones. Jone cannot be any worse than Jack Johnson.

Gaudreau always makes me think he's Canadian for some reason.

 

[Daximus]

That vet PP line for the Finns struggles.

 

[fahad203]

Ekblad so strong.

I want to see his birth certificate. The real one. He looks and plays like he's 30

 

[Beerz]

Who is forward scratch for Team NA?

 

[Hennessy]

I was 100% serious when I said that.

So what constitutes "close" for you if not that? Goalie is beat and lost, the puck's nearly across the line, dman barely gets it out. We're talking millimeters and milliseconds.
