Usually don’t care about commentators, but this guy is annoying.

Can't wait for Rasmus to hit Qatar with that pass.

 

[Magua]

Still stunned the Devils took Nemec at 2.

Not a good look for Chesley. Should’ve kept Casey.

Someone watched that US team last year and thought he was the best defenseman in that draft.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Can we get excited about Gautier yet ?

Ignoring they will wreck him somehow

 

[Magua]

You'd really rather use someone named "Ufko" on the PP2 over Hutson?

 

[renberg]

Cutter's a stud baby not sure how they're gonna f*** this guy up but they'll try.

Something about even a blind squirrel finding ….

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

USA is awful.

lolz what are they doing?

... and why is Star Man screaming? (rhetorical)

Czechoslovakia would win gold.

... and why is Star Man screaming? (rhetorical)

The weaker gravitational pull on Earth, along with our yellow sun, has given him the powers of deafness, cliches, and smell-o-vision. After he crash landed on Earth, he was raised by a family that owned a sports bar in Long Island. (non-rhetorical)

Connors may have just put this game on ice with a major.

The Team Canada playbook from yesterday

Starman was just rambling about how the Slovaks are generally one of the better teams in this tournament they just need to play hard.

 

[Magua]

That's the type of hit that MacEwen or Deslauriers would make that would be singularly credited for a win. Then they'd take a picture swinging a baseball bat in the locker room.

I'm quite enjoying the disaster quality to this tournament so far though. The Flyers have broken me. MaximumPain™ is my manna.

That was a totally selfish dick move by him. No need for that shit. It's petulant.

The last two sentences are exactly why I hate most hockey fans. And specifically Flyers fans.

This US team stinks

He'll occasionally throw a hit, but this is another narrative that doesn't jibe with my watches. I find Gauthier a finesse player, if anything. He generally moves the puck very quickly on the wall instead of taking contact. He's best in space. Which is fine. He's not a shrinking violet; I just don't see a power forward.

 

[BigToe]

Can’t figure Dvorsky out

Can’t figure Dvorsky out

I was just going to ask what you think of him, Toe.

Can I call you Toez Lucius?

It was funny, BC played a crazy chippy/nasty game against Providence about a month ago, scrums after nearly every whistle, and Gauthier was typically the guy steering his teammates out of the scuffles rather than engaging in them himself. A very "c'mon bro you don't have to do this bro" type of vibe. Pretty even-keel out there, not just looking for conflict.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I don’t know how Charlie Stramel is considered a potential first rounder (although that general thought may be fading as well to be fair).

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Haha Bacon is going full "Scoreboard!" on that douche.
