Going to brunch, maybe I'll watch, by game time I'll be drunk off bottomless mimosas.

One thing about DC - great brunch spots.

As for Team USA, I'd like to see Larkin and Foligno get going.

 

[LeafChief]

Is this going to be on TSN?

 

[LeafChief]

Yup, looks like it will be on TSN.

Nice.

 

[Macman]

TSN is showing every game in the tournament.

 

[saintflannel]

is this going to be on tsn?

tsn1 & tsn3.

 

[JTD]

Connor-Larkin-Foligno
Vatrano-Matthews-Schroeder
Maroon-Hinostroza-Fasching
Hendricks-Compher-Motte
Wood
Hanifin-Wideman
Murphy-Skjei
Warsofsky-Santini
McCabe

Those are the lines and d-pairings today

Condon starting in net. Ideally this seemed like a good time to get Demko some time in net. Condon and Kinkaid are both below average. Demko has potential to be very good in this tournament. Rather ride with that than two guys who have proven to be below average

 

[saintflannel]

Condon confirmed?

 

[LeafChief]

Connor and Larkin together is a nice glimpse into the future.

That'll be exciting to watch.

 

[TheBigThree]

matthews should be on the first line. Larkin is great but I want to see more of matthews

 

[Le Golie]

Looking forward to seeing Connor and Larkin playing together. That speed.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

The Devils guys didn't seem to have the best game against Canada, pretty high jump for Santini and Wood. Hopefully by tourney end they will be up to speed.

 

[LeafChief]

matthews should be on the first line. Larkin is great but I want to see more of matthews

Larkin is an NHLer and a damn good one.

He's earned first line minutes.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Condon confirmed?

"Mike Condon will get the start in goal tonight for the U.S. He played in 55 games (21-25-0, 2.71, .903) for the Montreal Canadiens in 2015-16, his first full season in the NHL. Condon played college hockey at Princeton."

On USA Hockey website he is. Demko should be starting.

I'm sure we'll see Demko sooner than later.

 

[GranlundMagic]

I can't wait to see this match because yesterday Matthews fans were saying how easy opponent belarus is. I think belarus have very good chances to beat team USA.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Maroon got benched already? lol

 

[FinRanger]

Here we go. Looking forward to Matthews scoring 3 points

 

[JTD]

Maroon got benched already? lol

Dropped down a line.

 

[fahad203]

There are two Ontario born players playing for Belarus

 

[FinRanger]

Matthews with 2 bad passes on pp

 

[NiL8r87]

Matthews with 2 bad passes on pp

I'd have to watch it again but I don't recall any "bad" passes.

Would like to see him shoot a bit more though.

 

[fahad203]

who's # 55 for US?

 

[JTD]

Maroon has been great on the PP. Doing work in front of the net. Hasn't done much 5 on 5 but he makes a lot happen on the PP

 

[JTD]

who's # 55 for US?

David Warsofsky
