[jj cale]

Dreiger!!

 

[Czechboy]

And I was wrong...

1:20 EST.. adjust accordingly

 

[NyQuil]

In English it would be translated:'' Nothing could be done'' or ''There's nothing one could do''

Oh, I googled it.

Yay for technology!

 

[FinPanda]

I've already placed a bet earlier that Canada will win this tournament. The odds were like 3.85 which was way too high for Canada lmao.

 

[garbageteam]

Canada peaking at the right time.

They’re always like this. Lacklustre in round robin and turns it up in the eliminations. Hope to see this kind of mentality for years to come.

 

[NyQuil]

Huge save for Driedger there!

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Dreiger big save on Vrana

 

[jj cale]

Dreiger.....................and I hate this word but I'm gonna say it, HUGE!!

 

[EK47]

I’m rarely wrong

You’re probably rarely wrong because you rarely attempt to predict things that are hard to predict.

 

[SaltNPeca]

Always with the bonehead canadians you’ve never seen before in the international forum showing up during the latter stages of the WHC just to talk down to the peasant euros and to be arrogant. Great stuff.

Hey look name calling. Grats for exposing yourself.

Guys like myself and @snipes are big Oiler fans, just filling time before Round 3.
NHL Playoffs Round 1 & 2 is always a lot of hockey to keep up with for anyone with a wife, gf, job, &/or personal life. Even living in Europe the early games of this tournament are pretty un-interesting. Sorry, eh.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

What a save by Vejmelka

 

[NyQuil]

Exciting end to this period.

 

[AKQJ]

Czechs have lost the faith...

 

[Czechboy]

To me... This is coming down to driedger. Making key saves. Vejmelka (who I love this tourney) has not. The vrana breakaway would've been huge for us

 

[Gereth]

How many breakaways Czechs need.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Buffalo are going to have one heck of a player in Cozens when he fully matures, he is already good, just going to get better.

 

[snipes]

You never answered my question to you (a while back), Snipes. You said you believe the Oilers match up well against the Ave. I hope/pray you are right.

Not the right thread but can you provide some insight on the series and why you think the Oilers will be string against an amazing looking Avs team - in 50 words or less.

I get a lot of quotes and likes, my bad I must have missed it. Was it in the series thread on the mains?

The Oilers team has a team of destiny feeling it seems like with the way McDavid and Draisaitl are playing. They are on a legendary run right now, it’s unbelievable to witness.

Add in depth contributions from guys like Kane, Hyman, and Nuge. Kuemper to me is also a very beatable goalie that could struggle against the Oilers top end talent.

Another reason I think we matchup well is our team speed. The Oilers thrive playing at the type of pace the Avs want to play at.

 

[Czechboy]

How many breakaways Czechs need.

Vrana would be a guy I'd want on a breakaway too

 

[Swipes]

Come on Vrana....

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Batherson has been all over the ice tonight

 

[NyQuil]

Canada still working hard late - very good sign.

Well, I’m also an immense regular on international competition here and have probably an encyclopedic knowledge of international hockey history.

I’ve been a long-standing staunch supporter of international hockey. @jj cale and @NyQuil can confirm. The daytime starts midweek can be tricky at the WHC given how busy my law practice is during the day.

 

[jj cale]

You could have almost given him a penalty shot for that.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Penalty on Czechia.

Czechs have no answer for the Batherson-Dubois-Cozens line

 

[Czechboy]

Someone get Scotka out there... Canada is on PP.lol
