[tobu]

Slovakia: 6 NHLers, 4 KHLers(3 from Slovan Bratislava), 3 AHLers, 1 SELer, 1 Allsvenskan, 1 Liiga, 1 Czech league, 5 Slovak league

Thanks for the corrections.

6 NHLers? And the Czech and Slovak leagues are surely not bad too. That will be a very tough game for Finland tomorrow. I will cheer for Finland but they can easily lose it.

Obviously no star NHLers, but Tatar and Cernak are still notable names and Sekera and Marincin are at least solid vets.

 

[tobu]

So a shutdown period by Slovakia, 10 min to go.

 

[Chainshot]

again hughes set up JVR and he misses

JVR's got one job and he's blown two glorious feeds today. Different game if either of those goes in.

 

[Rangers79]

double shifting Patrick Kane who has been coasting all game. Sure okay.

 

[ModryJazyk]

NA teams are known for slow tournaments starts outside NA.It's nice advantage to play against them the first game.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

double shifting Patrick Kane who has been coasting all game. Sure okay.

Problem is Eichel plays a lot slready and Jack Hughes is only 17 so i doubt they play him more this late.

That leaves Kane since the rest arenr exactly skating any harder than him, only both Jacks are

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

They just took Hughes’ line off after 24 seconds

What the actual hell? Besides me being a Hughes fan its silly that Blashill is taking him off so often when hes clearly flying out there and creating a lot

 

[tobu]

Slovak commentators are of course praising Hughes, but are saying he extends his shifts often longer than he should.

 

[tobu]

I was just about to say how disciplined we are all game, and I jinxed it.

 

[Rangers79]

USA making way too many passes. Hell, most of the time the player hasn't been ready for the pass

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Slovak commentators are of course praising Hughes, but are saying he extends his shifts often longer than he should.

Jack? Id be curious to see his TOI because hes been taking small shifts from what ive seen

Also mind telling me some of what theyre saying about Jack Hughes? Im always interested in hearing others opinions

 

[AgentBrodeur]

playing way too tight (USA)

 

[Rangers79]

I'm glad Skjei and Fox have looked good. Team USA as a whole is just playing so bad

 

[tobu]

Jack? Id be curious to see his TOI because hes been taking small shifts from what ive seen

Yeah, they might have been wrong of course.

 

[Saekk]

Gaudreau crying

 

[tobu]

Lantosi great game, despite taking that penalty, he'll definitely be up for grabs for a better league, currently paying in Slovakia.

 

[AgentBrodeur]

lets keep things in retrospect. Slovakia, has ton of energy and rest. USA has been paying regular season and playoffs

 

[tobu]

Slovak hall of fame all over the arena.

 

[tobu]

Well GG

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

**** this game and **** our defense.

 

[jj cale]

Game over, Slovaks played great today, all heart.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

4-1. Game Over. Great game by Slovakia.

 

[AgentBrodeur]

Kristof is btw the only Liiga player we have, he was the loosing finalist this year.
