GDT: Group B - May 9 - Finland (3) vs USA (2) (MOD WARNING - POSTS 26 & 275)

[Brewsky]

Edmonton fans, any thoughts on Maroon's play? Does he play like this in the NHL - methinks its just IIHF rules he's not familiar with.

He can't really be this undisciplined can he?

 

[FinRanger]

Barkov has been dominant against Matthews in the third.

 

[agent082]

Not many can match Pihlström's speed. If he had better hands, he would be a star.

You mean like Juha-Matti Aaltonen?

 

[teravaineSAROS]

We respect our traditions.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Edit.

 

[Shwaguy*]

Barkov......


Matthews, Barkov, and Eichel in the same division for the next 15 years gheeeeeeze


Then you got guys like Larkin, Nylander, and Reinhart....

 

[Patmac40]

Barkov's filthy

 

[NiL8r87]

Barkov's a beaut

 

[Saekki*]

When Barkov finally gets icetime, best on the ice, AINEC.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

One of these games I'm sure Matthews will get a pass from his linemates...

Exactly

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Barkov is a complete beast.

 

[GoLeafsGo96]

Matthews has to carry his line, whereas Laine has Barkov carrying his line. Laine is obviously still fantastic though.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

Barkov has been dominant against Matthews in the third.

Barkov is two years older though so thats a bit unfair, like how Laine just turned 18

 

[thomast]

Barkov has been dominant against Matthews in the third.

Barkov is 2 years older already elite NHL center. Not fair comparison for Matthews.

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

seriously disappointed in foligno thus far in this tournament.

[NiL8r87]

I love Uncle Leo

 

[HarrisonFord]

Beast shift by Komarov

 

[BB88]

that doesnt cut it though, at least admit they were not good/invisible in the first 2 periods. The skill on that line literally trumps the Matthews line AINEC

They weren't good, but have been dominating since the late 2nd.

 

[AndyA]

Take note kids, thats how you fore check like a champ.

 

[Edgelord]

HAHAHA did anyone else see the US player pin Larkin on the boards

 

[IronHalen]

Laine benched?

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

i havnt seen Laine in a while.

 

[Pyromaniac]

Komarov is a really irritating player.

 

[Shwaguy*]

Imagine Matthews next season with JvR and Marner on his wing instead of Vatrano and Schroeder
