Matthews's giveaway leads into a goal by Team Europe

Well I guess that's not fair, very good play by Europe. Now just 1 to go.

really? thats how you see that sequence

 

[heretik27]

Gibson if you can stop something tonight that would be great...

We have the goalie who won the Stanley Cup and one of the top young goalie prospects backing him up tonight. I just don't see Gibson playing much once the tourney starts over Murray, and possibly Hellebuyck who has some quality experience as well against men for team USA last year.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Matt needs to play on another line....

 

[AustonsNostrils]

Gaudreau McDavid and Eichel all need to be driving the line they're on so the line doesn't work, too many chiefs. McDavid needs a sniper and a big grinder who takes up space.

 

[X66]

Matthews should have dove on that play.

 

[BB88]

Not sure about that. Parayko, Ekblad, and to a lesser extent, Jones, is a decent amount of "physicality" to compliment the more offensive oriented guys like Rielly, Ghost. Murray is a mix of the two, but I don't think any one defenceman, especially Trouba, will make a big enough difference to turn around that defence. It's more of a collective effort at this point.

I'd want Trouba in over Ghost though, if it were up to me.

Wouldn't think him as a game changer but to calm that defense and balance it a bit.

Trouba can play LD.

 

[PG Canuck]

Too much man from Europe.

 

[pierre gagnon*]

thats a brutal call, pretty close lol not even

 

[hamzarocks]

North America need to score here. They have been playing bad since the 1st period and have lost all momentum, a goal now would kill team europe

They had the puck in the offensive zone for a good 20 seconds, don't think you can put that all on Matthews.

 

[El Travo]

I feel like the Rnh line has bee n on for a lot of goals

That's just you. The line are all +2.

what channel is this on in the US?

 

[X66]

You can really see the IQ and skating difference between Matthews and Laine IMO. Matthews with the better hands as well.

Hahahaha wtf. They had possession for like a minute after Matthews lost it in the ozone.

I'm on mobile but I'm guessing your Finnish?

No need to stoop to his level.

Gibson isn't chopped liver either. Jennings winner. Top 15 save percentage.

 

[Claypool]

Well, at least it seems like Europe is waking up and gelling a bit. They're certainly playing like they care, anyway.

 

[Plub]

Matthews should have dove on that play.

He'll learn. That's really not in his game at all.

 

[Beerz]

Streamed on ESPN3

 

[Yarborough]

Kinda wished Ehlers made team Europe, kids a spark plug

Yeah it's really not even close. If the Leafs took Laine this board would be melting down right now laughing at the Leafs.
