GDT: May 2 • Norway vs. USA

[satbank]

Ugh both team need to stop with the penalties.

 

[William H Bonney]

There's plenty of variation, some teams playing in a bigger rink, some smaller.

Most play in an NHL size rink or one very close to it:

200 x 85*ft (72.13%)
200 x 100*ft (13.11%)
200 x 90*ft (13.11%)
200 x 87*ft (1.64%)
200 x 95*ft (1.64%)
200 x 97*ft (1.64%)
201 x 86*ft (1.64%)
204 x 87*ft (1.64%)

Clearly most play in NHL rink. Some even bit smaller!

Facts don't fit his agenda.

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

How do you guys think Eichel looks? I think he looks decent, but hes floating around without the puck.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Get em jack!!!

 

[Jussi]

I don't get the US powerplay set up.

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

Great pass by Jack

 

[satbank]

I'm enjoying watching Moses.

I remembered there more bigger rinks than there actually were. But Eichel's own team plays in a hybrid rink so my point still stands...

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

Whos this Moses? He's impressive.

 

[QnebO]

Whos this Moses? He's impressive.

He is elite player raised by Jokerit in FEL and KHL. Earlier raised by some NA Junior leagues.

 

[Igright]

Shorthanded because ot Eichel.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Whos this Moses? He's impressive.

He's set the KHL goal scoring record this season. And now is going to play for Nashville.

 

[sjci]

Shorthanded because of a dive.

Fixed it for you

 

[JJTT]

Norway can't shoot.

 

[satbank]

This was a better PK.

 

[William H Bonney]

He looks fine. I swear people don't understand how USAH approaches this tournament. People need to realize that USAH had all of 4 practices for this tournament. Eichel had been off the ice for over 3 weeks before getting to Europe and he's taking college finals during the tournament. It's going to take him a game or two to get his legs under him, let alone adjust to new linemates and playing against grown professionals.

I've seen you praising Moses a lot and you've been dead on in your assessment. He's a fun little player to watch. Elite skating and high skill level. Stylistically reminds me of a Tyler Johnson.

I saw him play so much this year I'm sure he is a really good player that is not even in his prime yet, but I'm not sure will he translate the succes in the NHL because of his size. He needs a good summer.

The style he handles the puck with minimal effort and the explosive first strides after receiving the pass (and makes those first strides with very small reaction time / they otherwise don't take much time, its about how his skating position is when receiving passes), the technique he receives the passes bring Selanne in my mind actually. He plays bit like undersized Teemu. One of the rare players that technically remind Teemu at all. That doesn't mean succes automatically..

 

[QnebO]

That's the stuff Im afraid with moses+nhl combo. He got some big collission in his head there.

But good thing he show grit and said he hasn't head injury.

 

[Kshahdoo]

That's what Moses will see in the NHL.

 

[TheSanny]

Good hit. Moses gotta keep his head up.

 

[William H Bonney]

That's what Moses will see in the NHL.

Elbows to the head from a notoriously dirty player?

 

[Ghost Bear]

Nice hit by Tollefsen!

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

keep tollefson out there i wanna see this scrub get BURIED

 

[Igright]

Moses leaves.
