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

[Leafidelity]

Matthews blowing by hughson is really getting old

Disagree

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Sorry Steve, that wasn't Ovechkin.

The commentators are awful. Emelin throws a hit, and he says "Big hit by Ovechkin!". What else, Vladimir Namestnikov. Uh huh, Vladislav.

 

[BusQuets]

Russia making same mistake as Finland. Trying head to head challenge Team-NA with speed. This could already be 4-0.

 

[JaegerDice]

I've never really been blown away by Scheifele before, but man, he and McDavid are making magic together out there.

Oh, and that Matthews kid is ok too, lol.

 

[snipes]

Scheif McDavid Matthews is 2nd best line in the entire tournament.

Agreed. After the Crosby line, they are the 2nd best line in the tourney. Pretty crazy considering two teenagers are on that line.

 

[Puckluck23*]

johnny gaudreau playing like an idiot this shift

He has Eichel on his line, kind of hard not to play down to his level.

 

[TLeafsFan]

Oh look, Rielly and Trouba were just on the ice together.

 

[Rugbyplayer*]

Team North America sucks.

 

[spacemunky]

Team North America sucks.

Yeah, no talent there at all

 

[scan15*]

Oh look, Rielly and Trouba were just on the ice together.

Please.

Aren't all Russian's named Vladimir or Evgeni?

 

[Thai jet*]

Canada 2x

I agree. Team USA in particular desperately needs these young guys like Matthews, Jones, Saad, Eichel, etc.

It would equal out better if the under 24 was Canada only. Although with Torts as the coach it wouldn't matter.

 

[TimeZone]

Good work by Kulemin.

 

[BusQuets]

All respect to Matthews and Scheifele but Mcdavid is really making that line special.

 

[UnrefinedCrude]

Aren't all Russian's named Vladimir or Evgeni?

The younger brothers are all named Valari.

 

[TheMule93]

I wanna see how NA responds to going down in a game

So far they've pretty much dominated and led every game

 

[snipes]

Russians starting to control the play here.

 

[kurtcobang]

We're really missing Ekblad out there

 

[ItchyScratchy77]

Wow. Great goal. Allllll Mcdavid. (Watching it delayed btw).

 

[Canada4Gold]

It was only exhibition but they lose by 1 to the Czechs

 

[J15]

Larkin's really impressed me this game. Seems like every shift he's creating something.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Aren't all Russian's named Vladimir or Evgeni?

You forgot Alexander and Nikita. With these four names, you covered approximately 75% of the male Russian population

 

[snipes]

Make them pay on the PP.

 

[48g90a138pts]

I agree. Team USA in particular desperately needs these young guys like Matthews, Jones, Saad, Eichel, etc.

They can have Eichel if he keeps playing like he has this game.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

All respect to Matthews and Scheifele but Mcdavid is really making that line special.

Yup, he's always going to be the standout on any line he plays on, but the exhibition games showed that even he needs the right mix of players to play at the top of his game.
