GDT: Group A - May 10 - USA vs Slovakia

[Bagge]

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

Half the teams in NHL played their last game over a month ago. Stop making excuses everytime you lose.

 

[Rangers79]

Embarrassing game from the US

 

[raymond23]

Someone tell USA they can skate with the puck.

 

[Lambo]

USA extremely harmless today! Very weak.

 

[Rangers79]

USA coasting most of the game, not connecting passes, missing open nets. Need to regroup next game. Luckily it's against France

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Kane literally looks like he doesnt care

 

[Zippgunn]

What's the matter with the USA, I thought they have such a strong roster? But as I already said by the USA you never know sometimes they are good sometimes not. But ok it's the first game of the tournament they still can improve the performance.
I didn't check Slovakias roster from which leagues are coming their players? It would be surprising if both north american teams lose their first game.

IMHO Team USA has always played like a talented group of individuals but not as a team. Seems to happen every year...

 

[Rangers79]

Kane literally looks like he doesnt care

I swear he always looks really meh at international tournaments. He just doesn't care

 

[Ban Hammered]

Schneider should just go home.

Mind over matter in both games today in this group. No matter how good you are but if your attitude is shite this is what you get and deservedly so.

 

[Bankers Box]

No faith in Team USA's coaches.

There seems to be zero plan.

 

[alter]

But how could Liska be attacked by Fox...?

 

[1OApick]

Sure they can play at NHL but can't really play at higher tactical level at big ice.

 

[aufheben]

Why couldn’t Martinez whiff like that in 2014?

God f***ing damnit

 

[Davegarri]

No faith in Team USA's coaches.

There seems to be zero plan.

I guess you've never seen the Devils play.

Any team coached by Hynes has no clue what they're doing half the time

 

[Saekk]

That's some nice noice from the crowd

 

[tobu]

Slovakia had a game plan, and executed it perfectly.

 

[Styles]

On paper...

 

[flemo]

My unsung heroes - Dano and Liska. Or everyone.

 

[jj cale]

Sure they can play at NHL but can't really play at higher tactical level at big ice.

oh for gods sake, you do realize Canada has won this tournament several times right?, the last time just 3 years ago and back to back?

And does Sochi ring a bell? what happened all those times? europeans couldn't play at a tactical higher level?

The tournament is cyclical, posts such as these are such chest pounding after a win nonsense.

 

[debil]

Maybe Ramsay is not that bad coach.

 

[Tweaky]

Horrible effort by most of USA. Lead by the captain.

 

[tobu]

My unsung heroes - Dano and Liska. Or everyone.

For me its everyone. They all played their heart out as a team.

 

[Rangers79]

Hughs and Fox looked fine. Hanafin and Kane were awful

 

[Bagge]

I love the tradition of playing the national anthem of the winning team after each game.
