GDT: Exhibition • United States vs. Canada • 9/10/16 • 7PM ET

[Master P]

This game has sloooooooooooooooowed right down!

That'll happen after playing last night.

 

[General Zodd]

Giroux's either invisible or he makes a tape to tape pass to an American player in his dzone..

Shhhh he's playing for them!

 

[TheMule93]

Thorton really needs a trim.

No, he really doesn't.

 

[winnipegger]

U.S. better than expected. Canada needs Sid

 

[PG Canuck]

Nice block by Bouwmeester.

 

[48g90a138pts]

Hmmmmm.....

Nice block!

 

[Brie]

So sloppy by Doughty, good job by Bouwmeester.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

doughty?

 

[General Zodd]

Doughty WTF dude???

 

[Six Assets]

Doughty with a terrible turnover. If that was Karlsson, there'd be a thread on the main board by now.

 

[Sun God Nika]

quick everyone make fun of doughtys turn over....

thats not gonna happen.

 

[Baemon Severson*]

Giroux is out of his element here

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Doughty with a terrible turnover. If that was Karlsson, there'd be a thread on the main board by now.

same for weber

 

[TT1]

Doughty is immune to criticism, imagine if Subban made that pass..

 

[RattsSSV]

Good fight in their zone.

Why isn't Subban on this team again?

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

same for weber

not really. Weber has just been bad. So slow, looks like he is skating in sand

Terrible from Doughty though.

Lotsa invisible player's in these past 2 games, if you're gonna be invisible the least you can do is not make any defensive mistakes.

Honestly though, in a best on best, not everyone is gonna look like the studs they are. Lots of talent matching will negate skills that are more readily apparent against weaker competition. In an All Star game all these guys look like studs cause defense is an afterthought at best.

 

[CupInSIX]

Patches sighted

 

[General Zodd]

You mean that Hab fans would be touting him for Norris as usual!

 

[lakai17]

Thats a penalty

 

[CupInSIX]

I wanna see Weber get more pp time in one of the next 10 PPs. I wanna see that bomb.

I agree with this, not that I know if it will matter but I'm glad that Team Sweden have guys on the 3rd/4th line that are used to playing on the 3rd/4th line on their teams and are good at it becuase then they know what to do with the icetime they get. Not that I wouldn't love for us to have a lineup like Canada's but there is always a risk when you have a lot of superstars that are used to being "the guy" for their team and now they suddenly aren't and will try to do what they usually do in 15-20 minutes in under 10 minutes which can be tough.

 

[lakai17]

Goalie change!!

 

[TLEH]

we all know what Giroux is saying to JVR. Pigeon!!! CAW CAW
