GDT: Exhibition • North America vs. Europe

[jj cale]

They just mentioned it on t.V and it's spot on.........Team N.A vs Russia should be a wild game, all those offensively inclined players and top speed.

That game will be must see t.v.

Eichel really does remind me a bit of Getzlaf.

 

[JackHughes86]

johnny hockey and mackinnon looked so good

 

[Puckluck23*]

Gaudreau wins so many battles against much bigger men.

 

[Liminality]

Had to step away. I missed it. What happened?

Was a give and go with McDavid and I think Gaudreau and McDavid made a long pass to Saad in front of the net but it went over his stick.

 

[Rebels57]

This Europe team isnt actually that bad. They just didnt match up well against NA.

They could upset the US team for all we know.

 

[spacemunky]

Good game!

 

[Liminality]

What a really fun game to watch.

 

[Killahpunk]

Glad to see Murray get the SO. Hoping he wins the starting job with NA and runs with it.

Nice dangle and cross ice pass to Saad. Would have been nasty if he buried.

What a game and what a team! It's easier to cheer for these kids.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Yikes Mack. Finally passes the puck and it's 3 feet behind the target.

 

[JackHughes86]

europe doesnt seem like a bad team not sure if they were ready to play

 

[WillTheThrill]

Hope this game will shut up all the "why is Auston Matthews on the team" talk. He belongs.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Have to say Gaudreau was the stand out player this game.

Also probably not as noticed, Seth Jones looked like the best D man on either team IMO.

 

[ijuka]

I think there were like 8 times this game that I thought "Wow, what a smart idea for a pass"(Even if it didn't quite work out) and every single time it was by McDavid

 

[AvsFanJosh]

Mackkkk yesss

 

[Irishguy42]

I would think Trocheck comes out for Larkin next game. Tro started out hot, but faltered as it went on.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Have to say Gaudreau was the stand out player this game.

Also probably not as noticed, Seth Jones looked like the best D man on either team IMO.

Mackinnon was flying. Did you see him?

 

[HanSolo]

A team like NA makes me really wish Vegas wins the draft lottery. They could sure use a quality young talent like this to get started.

 

[serp]

How is that fair? So great players like Roman Josi are SOL because he's from Switzerland? How about Kopitar?

Not playing >>> Playing in this random Rag Tag band imho. You just get an unmotivated punching bag of a team. To make it worse the roster was constructed horribly. Line building wasn't any better either.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Mack played well, but ****,pass the puck. You can't beat everyone every time

 

[Maplebeasts]

I actually didn't like Mackinnon too much. Sure the goals were nice, but I felt he played a selfish game and was turnover prone.

 

[Taak19]

Mackinnon's acceleration is 2nd only to McDavid's.

As someone who watches MacKinnon a lot I would like to see them go head to head. I think MacK has the advantage. I've never seen a player that fast in person with the exception of Lombardi before he was destroyed.

Think McDavid was more noticeable the entire game, think I disagree with the Jones statement too.

He was great tonight...............and he didn't even get one of the three stars of the game.
