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

[Festinator]

Too fast to see lol.

Too busy crying on here to watch replay.

People need to go watch more of scheifeles highlights because his wrist shot is lethal.

 

[WayneSid9987]

drouin in the doghouse? why

I do remember a bad pass/play in the 1st period but the kids a legit gamer after watching what he did in the playoffs.

Another dumb decision.

 

[WesMcCauley]

It's called patience

Its not patience when u get stripped 9/10 times. Then its just dumb

 

[MardyBum]

Yikes.

 

[Daximus]

Mathews almost had an easy one there.

 

[TheMule93]

Gaudreau swapped with Drouin, and then McClellan benched Eichels line (drouin, eichel, Larkin)

Eichel has gotten PP time, but he hasn't played a 5v5 shift all period. Larkin and Drouin havent had a single shift since like 5min left in the 2nd

 

[LeafsNation149]

Rielly leads NA in TOI, Matthews leads NA Fwds in TOI, Zaitsev leads Russia in TOI.

 

[Brewsky]

McDavid is just balls to the wall north south

 

[Semantics]

Eichel on the 5 on 3 is a head scratcher. Gaudreau on the bench was an awful decision.

As I said before, they need RH shots. If you take Eichel off you need to put on a righty in his place. If you put on Gaudreau you need to take off a lefty.

Personally I'd try Parayko-Gaudreau on the point with McDavid-Matthews-MacKinnon up front, but who knows if it would work.

 

[SidDidNothingWrong]

Great d by Ghost.

 

[Drew4u]

Wtf is matthews doing..

 

[fsanford]

Drouin doesn't care about defense

Well in this game I think that would get you more ice time

 

[BruinsBtn]

Really dumb to leave that 5 on 3 out there the whole time. MacKinnon/Nuge/Gaudreau have been better tonight.

No one "left them out". They selfishly stayed out

 

[Battle Lin]

matthews just out of reach, open net

 

[Marlander93]

Nuge line is on fire.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

Drouin doesn't care about defense

meh not necesaarily true. dont need great D when youre down though

 

[Brewsky]

Rielly leads NA in TOI, Matthews leads NA Fwds in TOI, Zaitsev leads Russia in TOI.

Can't believe the injection of talent the Leafs will get this year with Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Zaitsev for a whole year.

 

[snipes]

Great game

 

[ijuka]

Matthews had a pretty good start to the game but he's been off during the second half in my opinion.

 

[93LEAFS]

Gaudreau swapped with Drouin, and then McClellan benched Eichels line (drouin, eichel, Larkin)

Eichel has gotten PP time, but he hasn't played a 5v5 shift all period. Larkin and Drouin havent had a single shift since like 5min left in the 2nd

Yeah, they moved Gaudreau to the Mackinnon/RNH line and have benched the remainder of those pairings.

edit: Eichel is back out with the Saad line and he got killed by Emelin.

 

[Pure Laine]

Classic Emelin

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Rielly leads NA in TOI, Matthews leads NA Fwds in TOI, Zaitsev leads Russia in TOI.

and NA is losing

haha had to

 

[WillNyeTheHockeyGuy]

Can't believe the injection of talent the Leafs will get this year with Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Zaitsev for a whole year.

It makes last year's suffering all the more worth it.

 

[Brewsky]

Jack Eichel on his ass this game counter = 16

 

[Bounces R Way]

Eichel got crunched. Tough game for him
