GDT: Group A - May 18 - Canada vs Germany

[NinjaKick]

Stone is like a game shark

 

[Star Ocean]

So much for the german success clubbin weaker teams. They look like trash.

 

[NinjaKick]

God I miss that guy.

Still wear the jersey out of respect.

Losing him was worse than losing Karlsson.

Melnyk really should have broke the bank and re-signed him... he's well worth his contract... just an insult to the fans

 

[Edenjung]

We should really make some NHL teams play national teams (nhl teams - the players the national team gets) those games would be awesome.

We’ve given up on Melnyk a long time ago.

Who trades a HoF defenceman and the team’s top three goal scorers in the same season?

Love stone, heart and soul guy. There was always something about him, even in juniors where people always made a lot about his skating you could still see the hockey i.q,skill and gamer in him, I always believed he was going to turn into a l good n.h.l player.

Needless to say he has topped out better then that, I can understand why a sens fan would miss him more then EK.

They used to do this with the Soviets back in the late 70s and early 80s.

Well, his personality was very good for the young guys and he was just a little more affordable than EK65.

I'm moving to Ottawa soon... the guy has to go... zero problems with the city or fanbase.... all of the shit they have to go through with Melnyk and they are still loyal... solid fanbase

For sure.

It's sad they shipped him out, I really hope the situation get's straightened out there in Ottawa, they don't deserve this.

I know but today that would be nice too.
Like germany playing ottawa,
Finland can play Arizona and the Kings play the team from the next retiement home, then they are at least playing in the same age range ;D

Good for you! Ottawa is a nice city.

I’ve lived all over the world and never mind coming back here.

It’s got a lot of the amentities of a big city but without the crazy traffic and urban sprawl.

Plus, there are great parks just 20 minutes away for cycling and hiking and ski hills as well.

Our fan base is divided - half want the fans to boycott the team entirely to force some kind of sale, while the others think we shouldn’t take NHL hockey for granted and support the young guys the team has drafted.

I see the view of both sides, that's a tight squeeze to be in as fans.

Amazing how the art and science of scouting works: Stone gets hurt in his draft year and goes from being well-regarded to 6th rounder. Crazy.

 

[Star Ocean]

Canada looks better. For all of you that blasted this team, they got atleast two lines that can score.

They’re still Canada.

They usually improve as the tournament goes on.

As long as they make the playoffs and improve as they go, I couldn’t care less what their record is.

My points exactly.

Very crazy. Ah well, it all worked out in the end.

I obviously followed him very closely and Stone pursued the Tavares route of working very hard on his skating early in his career.

 

[Zamboni Parade]

German scores on their first shot of the 2nd it only took a PP and just over 18 minutes.

Haha, I'm at work, can't watch and was wondering if the shot stats had stopped updating this period.

 

[NinjaKick]

IIHF or whoever did an amazing job with these jerseys, I don't think I've seen a country that I didn't like

I don't know what this whole thing about a prospect working hard and becoming outstanding, even relative to their draft position. As a Sabre fan, it's "oh, that guy didn't work out", rinse... repeat.

 

[NyQuil]

A few of these hits from behind in this tournament.

 

[jj cale]

O.K, let's put this thing away.

As a Senators fan, it's "oh, this guy turned out to be great, please enjoy him other NHL team fans", rinse...repeat.
