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

[Odie Cleghorn]

How do you figure?

Well if Slovakia wins Canada would play Slovakia next instead of Russia.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

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

edit: apparently the quote was broken.

lol gotta love these boards. crapping on him because he hasn't scored but when he does it doesn't count because anyone could have.

 

[Minnesnota]

How the US gets a 2+10 for an identical hit and the refs just ignore this is indicative of how cooked this tourney is.

 

[KingLB]

As a US fan I thought it was a good hit. I’d be pissed if a US player got penalized for that hit.

 

[Sean Garrity]

I'm fairly certain this isn't the first time Zegras has been rocked before lol. Assuming he's ok, I'd expect him to respond professionally.

Canada started the pandemic to have an advantage in the WJC.

They did, the 2 + 10 the US got a few minutes prior was nearly identical.

It's everyone but Caufield's fault that this prospect whose marquee strength is goal scoring, is not scoring goals.

Kaliyev and Caufield are both supposed to be right wingers. Kaliyev was on left wing. I remember Caufield setting up a goal last year from the left side on the PP so I thought that was his natural side.

They were not the same hit.

Is it a crazy idea to swap Caufield and Kaliyev? Might get Caufiled going to play with his old buddies Turcotte and Zegras, and Boldy and Kaliyev could make things work.

 

[KingLB]

Kaliyev and Caufield are both supposed to be right wingers. Kaliyev was on left wing. I remember Caufield setting up a goal last year from the left side on the PP so I thought that was his natural side.

So basically Kaliyev got moved out of position to make room for Caufield, and has been more successful?

 

[volcom92886]

Both went trough the body and ended up with contact trough the head.

I don't know what there natural positions are. I thought Caufield was on the left side on the PP but I aam not positive.

 

[bsu]

I had no issue with the hit on zegras. I expect him to play a little harder next period from it.

And? I keep seeing all this entitlement by proxy saying Caufield should be on the first line every thread but I've never seen a good argument on what he's done to deserve it. If Caufield isn't having a poor tournament he should be scoring more without needing the team's best playmaker to make it happen if he's such a gifted goal scorer. But that's not the case here. It may not be indicative of his future potential, but he's having a comparatively poor tournament compared to the rest of the roster. I don't disagree that Kaliyev hasn't really deserved his spot either, but I'd sooner see Boldy take that spot than Caufield.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Zegras is out there.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Zegras a little sloppy tonight

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

lol gotta love these boards. crapping on him because he hasn't scored but when he does it doesn't count because anyone could have.

My quote was meant to be for the guy who was saying Caufield should have been the one to score there, was not a sleight on Kaliyev.

 

[SRHRangers]

Love Beniers game.

 

[snipes]

Beautiful feed by Sanderson to Caufield

 

[HanSolo]

Zegras is out there.

And looking a lot more engaged. Pushing the play a lot more his first shift back. Like seeing that. I thought he looked sleepy at times in the first.

 

[cowboy82nd]

Can I get an updated score, please?

 

[Canucks LB]

I am starting to feel really bad for caufield.
He is having a much better game tonight, but just can’t finish
