GDT: Group A • Dec. 26 • Finland vs. USA

[Huokaus]

Oh no, FIN PP

 

[Steamwhistle]

Uh oh incoming Finnish PP

 

[Kharkov]

Lets see how USA dominate on pk

 

[PG Canuck]

Pp finland

 

[Richter915]

OMG, stop skating around so much. Eichel on the left half wall, and a left handed shot on the right half wall and one timers.

that's part of where the concern is coming from...if he's not willing to dish out the puck...shows he doesn't have much trust in his teammates.

 

[Bjornee]

This game will go to OT and eventually SO.

 

[Synergy27]

Zero passion from either side in this game. Trading penalties. Kinda boring. Do they know that the tournament has officially started?

 

[PG Canuck]

Better looking pp so far haha

 

[Zaddy]

if you're a complimentary one and not a future top pick. werenski has shown more than hanifin

Werenski has played the PP and probably has a lot more ice time than Hanifin so far. Werenski is an amazing talent in his own right so idk why it matters that he's been showing more so far.

 

[Czech Yourself Pal]

a powerplay that looks like a powerplay

 

[SanDogBrewin]

he's so dang smooth with it though...better than eichel...

No doubt Mathews has great hands and can skate but i would like to have seen him throw the puck on net instead of holding it looking for the perfect pass.

In Edmonton too, not sure about Calgary.

I remember a fairly full Saddledome getting behind Latvia and cheering like crazy in a relegation game in 2012

Because this is HF, don't you know that everything must be compared?!

 

[Zaddy]

Eichel looks a lot like Drouin last year. Just trying to do way too much on his own.

Matthews too kinda.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I never said he was selfish but as a captain, you can't really scream after you didn't get a pass from your teammate.

I think there is a good chance he wanted the pass.

You are assuming so much. He probably screamed (or yelled would probably be a better word for it) because Husso saved the shot. It's very presumptuous to assume that he yelled because he didn't get the pass.

because hanifin is a "lock" at 3 where werenski is a 5-10 pick

My feed died. Anyone have a working stream? NHL feed is not showing for me, and the TSN one is full of popups.

 

[Bgav]

Kap is obvs gonna score

 

[Synergy27]

Am I the only one thinking that Eichel is fumbling a lot with the puck?

I'd say he looks nervous, but he doesn't really. He is fumbling the puck like crazy though, yet somehow retrieving it himself. He even fumbled the puck before the assist on the only goal.

Very underwhelming performance from him so far in all aspects of the game. The skill is obvious, but people's critiques of his decision making and trust in his teammates are right on in my opinion.

Hanifin has been excellent in his own zone and excellent on the PK. But you don't notice that as much as you do Werenski on the PP. I'm not saying that Werenski hasn't been great or that it's possible that he's been better than Hanifin. But I've noticed a trend with you and Hanifin, so forgive me for taking your opinion of him with a tablespoon of salt.

 

[Locura]

stream: http://blabseal.de/bilbo/ good quality too

Good PP.

Whatever, I think it's because Tuch shot it, Eichel was looking for the pass aswell.
