GDT: AMERICA ON TOP OF THE HOCKEY WORLD! USA USA USA

[GAGLine]

Big game Canada and Finland today. Hopefully Schneider is in the top-six though I fear he won't be.

Why wouldn't he be?

 

[Thirty One]

Why wouldn't he be?

He wasn’t in the regular rotation in the third period of the last game.

Injury?

 

[Thirty One]

Injury?

He was playing, just sparingly.

 

[kovazub94]

He was playing, just sparingly.

I doubt there’s enough cause to worry that won’t be in the lineup for the biggest group game for Canada.

 

[Thirty One]

Schneider practiced with Harley again so looking good there.

 

[Lua]

This isn't terribly related but I love hearing the referees' words of inspiration before the first puck drop. They should do that in the NHL; I want more Wes McCauley content

 

[ArPanet]

sometimes it's Harley and Schneider, sometimes it's Harley and Korczak. the other pairs stay the same.

Nah.

Korczak has subbed in on every pair.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Lol this Austria - Czech game is SO BORING and the fact that 2 marquee matchups are coming on later makes it that much worse

 

[bl02]

Schneider's first three shifts look pretty good so far. Biggest guy on ice and can really skate. I know Byfield is technically bigger but Schneider thicker and obviously stronger.

 

[Thirty One]

Why is Canada letting Brad Lambert play for Finland?

 

[Synergy27]

What a filthy pass by Quinn that was. Wow. Not a competitive game so far.

 

[Thirty One]

Korczak is getting pretty regular ice-time, but's it's mostly in Barron's spot so far.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Pelletier is a really good player.

 

[Synergy27]

Peyton Krebs seems like a fine young man but he’s not a very impressive player. Lots of little mistakes in this game so far.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Why is Canada letting Brad Lambert play for Finland?

He's as Finnish as Virtanen is Canadian

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Having your guy be a defensive defenseman in the WJC is kind of boring.

 

[Thirty One]

Having your guy be a defensive defenseman in the WJC is kind of boring.

I've never enjoyed watching a Ranger prospect in the WJC as much as Marc Staal.

 

[Thirty One]

On behalf of Canada, we make no claims on Virtanen.

 

[bl02]

Having your guy be a defensive defenseman in the WJC is kind of boring.

But in the NHL it could be a beautiful thing

 

[bl02]

Pelletier is a really good player.

Concussion derailed him last year but he’s played really well this year.
And there he is

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The plug with an assist!

 

[Thirty One]

Having your guy be a defensive defenseman in the WJC is kind of boring.

Turns out he's an OFFENSIVE DYNAMO

 

[Thirty One]

Internet is BLOWING UP with praise for Schneider
