GDT: Quarter Final | USA Vs Slovakia | 1/2 @ 10:30 PM | TSN/NHLN

[KingLB]

I missed the first 10 minutes, can I get a quick recap

Have you watched the last few US games? Pretty much that.

 

[McDrai]

Bob Lee Swagger
2 minutes and a 10 for head hunting

 

[The Price is Right]

Caufield playing his best game

 

[NorCalhockey]

Maybe I just don't appreciate his character because I'm not familiar...

In those Skip the Dishes ads, his “character” is an unaware, somewhat smarmy, narcissistic American. I think the ads parody what Canadians think of some Americans, but I view it as gently poking fun, not cruel.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Slovakia shooting themselves in the foot so far.

 

[canuckking1]

Any time the Slovaks have open ice to skate for a break they handle the puck like a grenade

 

[Ducks DVM]

That was his head, yes.

 

[Del Preston]

Is Todd McLellan in charge of the Slovak PP?

 

[Antonglk]

Thats was a tough hit. That face smashing the glass...

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Poor wittle Caufield.

"If the setup was right". Lol. Goal = scored champ.

Can't really deny that the decoy worked on that one.

 

[fahad203]

The Nike commercial is way worse than the skip the dishes ones.

You clearly haven't seen any of the questrade ones

 

[NorCalhockey]

They are hilarious except for the pineapple pizza one.

Haven’t seen that yet...

 

[Go19]

Close to an interference call on Slovak goalie

 

[KingLB]

Where's Turcotte?

He isn’t on the first unit PP where his line mates are. So if they are successful, he more or less has his shift skipped.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Lol you alright there bud ?[/QUOTE

Kaliyev has been CRAP. If both he & Caufield usually occupy that spot Caufield would have scored. If they are trying to use Caufield as a decoy then that's fine.

 

[Canucks LB]

Huge saves

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Boldy pass went off the D-man's skate so nice read there for Kaliyev

Looked like a clean pass to me.

 

[Hinterland]

A couple of their young monsters can skate. That really should be utilitizing a crash and bang style of play for them, I find Slovakia plays best when they play physical and turn it into a battle on the boards rather than a track meet, they just don’t have the elite skaters.

Maybe, but they haven't done it so far. I don't think they're ready for it yet. I think they need to grow into their bodies first. Maybe next year.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Half this board would have been able to score from that position.

edit: apparently the quote was broken.

 

[snipes]

Slovakia has had a couple chances here

 

[Mats26]

Looked like a clean pass to me.

one angle shows it

 

[McDrai]

Half this board would have been able to score from that position.

I would have gone bar down for sure

 

[snipes]

What a good player Beniers is

He’s so smooth and good all over the ice.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Half this board would have been able to score from that position.

edit: apparently the quote was broken.

I don't skate nearly well enough to get to that position.

 

[Mats26]

Faber rubs the coach's son out...lol
