Sounds like Leo is in again? nice. Really want to closely watch Zell and Minty today, wasn't able to watch the whole time on Friday.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Three best defenders of the tourney coming out.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

This is gonna be an interesting blue line group. Warren and Smith are the best defensive stoppers in the group. Wonder if Minty and Zell will be on the PK.

I thought Nesty was average on Friday but he was great yesterday. It really seems like there's a solid chance he becomes a legit 3rd liner and maybe even something more.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

yes

Im suing myself now.. Thanks.

With LaCombe healthy scratched Zellweger and Mintyukov are now the vets on the blueline, asked to step into Jackson's rather big shoes and lead the way for their younger teammates. Curious to see if they're ready for it.

Not sure why they would separate Smith and Dionicio. I thought they worked together beautifully in game 2.

 

[Mr Rogers]

what an awesome little play by leo in the NZ

Good opening shift. Gaucher is noticeable

He has the skill to be something more I think. Just has a lot of adapting/growing to do if he wants to be a second liner.

 

[AngelDuck]

Smith is huge and rock solid so far - very intriguing

 

[Ducks DVM]

I checked with me and told myself it’s ok to watch today.

 

[HanSolo]

If Zellweger could improve his pass accuracy/selection he could be so so good.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Etem is the Bob Ross of color guys.

 

[Ducks DVM]

He just needs to figure out how to score on NHL goalies.

Happy little Pronger physics

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

First watch for me of this tournament. Encouraging sign is that the forecheck is consistent.

[Hinterland]

Up against a good Kings group today it seems. A few interesting prospects, especially Portillo, Dvorak and Ziemmer.

 

[Leonardo87]

Nice hit by Zell.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Zell really sends you for a ride as a fan lol

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Do the Kings have guys named Laperriere and Modry playing for them? I feel like I've been warped back 20 years.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Look, these guys all have stuff to work on in their own end, but the way they press the neutral zone and immediately transition up ice is night and day from how mind-numbingly awful last year’s D group was in San Diego
