Clague 7th D now

This would be a good move...

Gets exposed in his own end in the corners...

 

[tobu]

Canada - Slovakia 4-5 .... right ?

 

[Alerion]

It's nice to see small town kids like Ingram play on a huge stage, especially now when it seems most players are from major suburbs.

That's where Clague was listed yesterday as well, so idk if I'd read into that since yesterday Clague played 13:04 TOI vs Lauzon's 4:32 TOI.

 

[El Travo]

Awesome piece on Jost by TSN.

 

[Patmac40]

Damn, that Jost segment.... I'm going to go hug my mom now.

It's strangely quiet in here for a primetime game.

There hasn't been as much talk on here as there has in years past.

 

[tobu]

These patriotic Canadian commercials on TSN like "World needs more Canadian..." are mind-blowing. I don't think any European country ever has a piece of material like that on Euro televisions. I'm not saying I don't like it, it probably works...

 

[TheBeastCoast]

ACC looks half empty. I'd say going back to the same cities 2 years later wasn't such a good idea.

Yeah saw that one too, really bizzare.

Gonna be a rough game for Canada against Cernak and Huska

So far good positioning by Huska, but it's been only few minutes

 

[izzy]

Didn't think Barzal was gonna get up from that

 

[Dod93Cityt]

I think hes good

Threads dead....Rink is dead. Is WJC losing steam in Canada?

 

[CanCHI]

Strome just doesn't look like someone you should be following into battle

Everyone is busy talking about this awesome new Nike commercial

 

[tobu]

Slovak D collapses into a diamond too much for my liking.

Insane ticket prices are probably playing a part in this.

Some have mentioned lack of elite prospects at the tourney like last time(Laine,Matthews)

It feels like more folks are being turned off from the massive TSN over-hyping the last couple of years. It worked when we were getting gold a few years in a row, but with no guarantees anymore, it's getting a bit pretentious.
