Habs at the World Championships

Lane has a knack at creating a lane for himself. And he can shoot and pass off his back foot while in motion, at awkward angles. Only a few players do that consistently

Lane makes lanes.

Gotta love good shooters who aren't afraid to shoot. Guy reminds me more and more of Pacioretty

If the Flyers are successful in converting him to be a centre, they will finally have a good version Kevin Hayes

Is he playing centre or would this be a Drouin experiment?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Swiss get more luck than any team in the WC and they still lose.

At the tournament he’s a winger but I think in NCAA he’s more of a centre.

He played C all year for Boston College, and while he played wing with the USNDTP last year I think he was a C prior to that as well.

Maybe he has lived there and had to deal with the 40% tax rate? It sure pisses us off.lol.

Again. Irrelevant. If you watched they seem to get more bounces than most and luck like blocking an empty net shot.

Damn, Germany upset Switzerland!!

That's good for Canada.

Well, that was quite a couple of minutes for Montembeault. Takes a delay of game penalty by dropping the puck as if to play it but then covers it. Then loses his stick while defending the pk.

All ends well.

??? why was that delay of game????

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Overall good period by Montembeault & Team Canada.

It's an international rule. That's not a penalty in NHL. Seems silly to me.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It doesn't really change anything. SF is reseeded. US is top team, so they'll play Germany. US went undefeated.

Canada will play Sweden in SF, if they beat Finland today.

The most obvious penalties weren't called. Ethan Bear gets taken down from behind in Dzone and then Rantanen with the gratuitous dead play cross check.
No surprise there.

So if the goalie catches the puck the play is immediately dead?

You mean Latvia right.

Yeah he can hold the puck but he can't drop it and then cover it which is just stupid. You want goaltenders trying to keep the play moving.

Like the boarding rule. Seider booted in the earlier game for boarding. Thier should be some leeway in the rule. Seider comes in to hit the Swiss player who is working the puck while parallel to the boards. Seconds form the hit he turns and faces the boards. They should be able to call a 2 min penalty.
I am all for making all hits into the boards illegal and in the IIHF they might as well do that.

Apparently.
