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

[Daximus]

No. Half man, half bear, half pig.

That does suit Matthews with them nostrils.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

No but I've always wanted to see a Lucic/RNH/McDavid line

That would be nasty.

 

[McDrai]

no it isnt... Thats ridicolous. If it was he would be almost as good as Toews, Kopitar etc. He is very solid defensivly but he isnt close to elite.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree then about RNH

 

[aufheben]

Jesus I can't even drive that fast..

 

[Puckluck23*]

Eichel tries to go one on two again? WTF bench him.

 

[ForSpareParts*]

come on McD.

pass the puck some time

 

[48g90a138pts]

**** you ref

 

[Del Preston]

Oiler Fans, has RNH and McDavid played together ever?

Very briefly, it would mostly have been on the PP. They were were in the lineup together for only 22 games last year though because McDavid got injured and then Nugent-Hopkins got hurt the game before McDavid returned.

 

[El Travo]

Best on best, McDavid has to figure something out other than rush up the ice.

 

[DanZ]

These announcers are insufferable can they calm down with the McDavid/Matthews jerk fest for like 30 seconds maybe?

 

[Divine]

Great play by RNH there.

 

[RattsSSV]

Nice job Nuge.

 

[Marlander93]

bozo on the first line now...

 

[Plub]

Hit from behind on Eichel and hold on Matthews right in front of the ref and no call?

 

[KCC]

You could spot that boarding call a mile away. Come on.

 

[Mitchy]

why is this thread like 90% putting down other players...these are the best young players in the world

It's really pathetic, isn't it?

 

[McDrai]

There's absolutely no support for that assertion. There's only been one guy at that level (other than Datsyuk) and that's Bergeron. Nobody else is close.

RNH vs Datsyuk
1v1 Bro

 

[Soundwave]

Nugent Hopkins might've saved a goal there. Good hand eye.

 

[authentic]

Eichel just hogging the puck running into his own players. He looks lost.

 

[ForSpareParts*]

Good shift by Matthews.

 

[PuckG]

Great power play there. Mack is impressing me. So is Nuge. Neither afraid of the dirty areas.

People automatically assume Nuge is soft just because he's smaller/played alongside Eberle. Oiler fans could have told you before, the guy doesn't play the game like Eberle, he plays it like Nuge.

Am i wrong for liking RNH better than McD? i think hes criminally underrated and a stud.

Not at all! He'll never be as good as McDavid, but he's criminally underrated on the boards.

He's very underrated due to injuries and the overall Oiler factor. It's difficult being a good player on such a ****** team

Yup.

 

[Daximus]

Hit from behind on Eichel and hold on Matthews right in front of the ref and no call?

They need Russia to win. The fix is in.

 

[Diddy]

Sweet knockdown by Nuge there.

 

[Sentinel]

Russia just looks so... catatonic.

 

[KCC]

Well they've had the puck often so of course they're going to talk about them.
