OT: Around the League '24-25

[catters078]

Even though it gave Canada a late scare, Nill must have been thrilled seeing our Finns lead that come back.

Excited for what Granlund can do down the stretch

 

[piqued]

Is it too soon to say that Granlund is the best Finnish forward on the Stars?

Hyry disrespect will not be tolerated

 

[Kcb12345]

Thank God we traded for Granlund prior to this tournament lol feels like this would've made his value go up

 

[Smelling Salt]

Did Hintz keep his hair in a vacuum-sealed bag and can it be sewn back on

 

[Troy McClure]

Hintz finishes the tournament with zero points and two games without a shot. A truly meek showing.

Granlund was probably their best player, so that's nice.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Majority of Finlands forwards didn't do much. I worry too much about it

 

[piqued]

Kreider scores immediately

Hopefully that gives Jake some confidence

 

[starsfan86]

We should do anything we can to trade for B. Tkachuk. Give them Hintz +

[Elysian]

The way overhead camera angle on the PP is terrible

 

[redbeardtx]

Not the best goal to give up by Oettinger there

 

[starsfan86]

Gives one of those up every game he plays lol

 

[piqued]

First one was tipped and second one he was badly screened by his own guy but he's in the mode where he makes himself as small and as deep in the net as possible which isn't going to do him any favors on those types of plays

That’s what I meant when he gives one of those up regularly. Always makes himself look small and drops way too soon.

 

[Elysian]

Boldy lol

 

[piqued]

Boldy and Faber aren't exactly shining tonight

 

[piqued]

I like Eichel when he's not wearing gold sparkles

 

[Elysian]

Eichel with a nice hit there

 

[piqued]

I feel like Sanderson is in the same boat as Harley in that he should have been playing over some of the veterans

 

[Kcb12345]

Man what I'd give to have a guy like Eichel on our team. Just an elite player

Can't believe a guy like that was available for trade

 

[Azzuri]

Otter has been intentionally playing deeper in his net ala Henrik Lundqvist (his idol). Definitely makes deflections easier but gives him more mobility to move cross crease.

 

[Kcb12345]

Have to wonder the physical toll that USA/Canada game took on these players. Some people wonder why guys don't play that hard until the playoffs, and this is exactly why. The 3 most physical players from team USA are all injured now (B. Tkachuk's injury wasn't really physical-play related, but still).

M. Tkachuk and McAvoy both injured too. Matthews it seems is battling something as well.

NHL teams have gotta be nervous about this upcoming game on Thursday lol. Several injuries now have happened in this tournament, some looking serious

 

[Klockis]

Seems like the U.S.A. got absolutely mogged by Karlsson and company

 

[dalness]

Kind of glad we don't really have anyone playing for either team on Thursday. Assuming Harley will be out since Makar is back. Don't have to worry about anyone on the Stars getting injured.

 

[piqued]

Well it's a big game so Hellebuyck may give up 4 in the first period or something
