GDT: Exhibition game - Canada Vs Russia

[Atas2000]

Are the canadian hype-writers already having a stroke because Chinakhov plays with Safonov(and not "on the 4th line") just like russian posters here predicted?

 

[snipes]

I was thinking the exact same thing

Yup we need to be heavy on the forecheck especially into the corner for the D man playing on their off side (every Russian D man is left shooting).

Am I the only one that doesn't have a good feeling about Levi?

he's really small but the one game I saw him in I loved how he tracked pucks. He sure does show a lot of net when he goes down though, I'd be going upstairs on him.

Is this thread live?

It is now =)

 

[Canucks LB]

Liking this amirov, pod line so far for russia

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Perfetti McMichael line getting schooled so far

 

[LFCTML]

Jesus this team is stacked.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Close.

 

[snipes]

Great chance there.

 

[tiny103]

So far liking the passing by podz on that last shift

 

[FerklundCGY]

Pelletier looked fantastic there

 

[Canucks LB]

Canada is relentless, The only way they don’t win this tournament is goaltending, just absolutely stacked everywhere

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Pelletier is a beauty. What a shift

 

[Just Linda]

Dach is so so so good.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Pretty sure the "crowd" cheered as if there were a goal.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

oooohhh that was close

 

[780il]

This is exactly what we need this line to do. Get in hard on the forecheck, get around the net, and wreak havoc.

 

[dm1371]

I mean he hasn't done literally anything yet.

Just a weird feeling I got

edit: hope I'm wrong

Byfield looks huge

 

[snipes]

Atta boy Byfield. That’s more physicality than he displayed all last WJC.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

That is a solid shift for Byfield.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

2 hits by Byfield.

 

[1967th Heaven]

Only 2 shifts but anyone else think Byfield looks faster?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Dach is so so so good.

He makes the smart simple play each time. You can see he was in the NHL last year. No useless junior stuff. Smart pro game.

 

[LFCTML]

Once we gain the zone, Russia's D just can't handle us down low. Doesn't even matter which line.
Their rushes will be scary, but once we get the puck deep, it looks like men against boys out there.
