GDT: 9/19 - Russia vs. Team North America - 8:00 PM ET Part 2

[Tripod]

That was a perfect example of not using Ghost and his shot in the PP...instead try and force a pass into the slot with 6 people standing there.

 

[Soundwave]

Matthews rushed that. And jeez, Ghost hit the net.

 

[Halla]

I don't see the point in rocking a franchise defenseman in a tournament that is close to the start of the regular season. Not to mention Finland was out of the game.

you think Komarov cares who he hits? you clearly haven't seen him play.
The guy plays hard 100% of the time. Try telling him to ease up when he is wearing his countries flag. not gonna happen.

clean hit, unfortunate injury. thats not on Komarov

 

[Intermission]

Nope, he's been bad in his own end as well.

On Sunday, the focus was on Jack Eichel's defensive play in the neutral zone.

He also scored a goal and made some plays - I think he's okay.

 

[McDrai]

Honestly, I thought the hit on him by Hendricks, last season, was a lot more questionable.

I don't disagree with you there but I haven't seen big hits like the Komarov hit in this tournament. I think in the back of their heads the players don't want to go all out physically because it's so close to the regular season

 

[Divine]

This is how Team NA needs to play. The Russians can't defend when NA pushes the pace.

 

[MMANumminen]

Probably busy being a new dad.

As a fresh dad myself I understand

 

[Brock Radunske]

Need a goal here boys

 

[Maplebeasts]

Need the pp to click here.

 

[Dbrownss]

I like Eichel...but can we stop trying to force the play to him on the PP?

 

[spacemunky]

C'mon Eichel PP goal!

 

[Leafidelity]

Matthews forced a bad pass, does he suck now too

Yes. It was a good career while it lasted.

 

[Daximus]

Looked like a bit of a sell by Gaudreau.

 

[Sentinel]

Speaking of "**** for brains," I give you... Malkin!

 

[McVespa99]

Pretty sure it was tongue in cheek.

Yah it was in response to my comment on Rielly finally doing something good. He was being facetious

 

[Battle Lin]

the lines should be like,

larkin mcdavid scheifele
gaudreau matthews eichel
saad rnh mackinnon

 

[hamzarocks]

Matthews forced a bad pass, does he suck now too

yes_

 

[RipsADrive]

I just want to see someone wire a shot this PP. No more passing it into the net.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

I keep forgetting that Malkin is playing.

 

[Brewsky]

Matthews forced a bad pass, does he suck now too

Coach has him on the #1 PP so...no, needs 15 more bad passes before he's in Eichel territory.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

How does Mcdavid miss the net on that? Such a loser.

 

[El Travo]

 

[MMANumminen]

He was still playing hockey when most of these other players were doing their summer training. But yes, he does. He also has a three month old baby.

So was Crosby. But the baby thing makes sense

 

[DoubleGold]

People act all tough and say "this is hockey" when someone plays clean and rough, but as soon as someone's golden boy gets a scratch the crying starts .

 

[Brewsky]

Man, Gaudreau is looking ****ing great, don't see many Flames games but he is so much like Patrick Kane.
