GDT: Quarterfinal • Jan. 2 • USA vs. Russia • II [MOD #571]

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
I'd agree with him that he has work to do. His lateral movement doesn't seem very controlled, at all. It puts him out of position for too regularly.

It's not necessarily the toughest thing to fix, though, so there's enough reason to be optimistic about him.

I'd say his biggest issues is over sliding on the lateral movement. Seems to be looking for the big save instead of the sound save. IMO. He'll be fine. All young goalies have issues
 
Am the only one that think USA is playing better when Eichel isn't on the ice?


The other players are atleast grinding and cycling, and Eichel refuses to pass the puck.

I was referring to him saying Demko wouldn't make it in the NHL. Obviously he has work to do, but that over exaggeration made me laugh.

You are not the only one. The Matthews and Larkin lines have been far better.

Yeah, once these guys get into NHL systems and get regular work with top notch coaches they can iron out a lot of these wrinkles.
