Horvat should have scored there, missed golden opportunity.

Hilarious to see Chabot scratched over Nurse.

Nurse has been great except for the USA game, what tourney are you watching?

 

[jj cale]

I WANT PARAYKO ON THE OILERS

He would sure help that right side in edmonton that's for sure.

The one where the mobile d who can move the puck is better than the one that struggles with hockey sense.

 

[NyQuil]

You gotta pot that Horvat.

 

[DoubleGold]

How has the game been? Just tuning in now.

 

[DDRhockey]

Russia will win. They impressed vs stacked sweden

 

[NyQuil]

Man do the refs not know how to get out of the way.

Nurse has been the most mobile D man on the team what are you talking about? He is always skating it up in the zone. He is a much better skater then Chabot.

Him and 97 have some nice chemistry this tourny. What about Nurse though? Do you think Nurse and Parayko are good comparables or do they play different games?

 

[NyQuil]

Is it just me or is HF sluggish for a few days now?

 

[MattySnipes]

Barzal has magic hands

Almost exact Opposite. Nurse is a much more defensive Dman. He is starting to get a bit more offensive, carrying the puck into the zone a lot, but otherwise he is lacking in the Ozone. Both really big guys.

Nurse has been really good for the Oilers this year. 26 Even Strength Points and a +15 on the Oilers is really impressive.

it's not just you, the whole site has been screwy for a couple of days now.

 

[hockeyguy1967]

RNH really has a underrated wrister, he can snipe it pretty good and gets it away really fast.

So far, a very average game. Both teams suck. Canada is unimpressive at all.

 

[DoubleGold]

McDavid has been literally generating everything for Canada in this tournament, lmao. What an amazing player.

 

[MattySnipes]

haven't seen the Magic Man all period.

 

[hockeyguy1967]

The Canada McDavid's. Seriously, How come every single chance is with McDavid? What are these other lines doing. It has been like this all tourney too. ORielly did well early but now man he is invis.

 

[DoubleGold]

C'mon Russia, step it up. Sheesh.

 

[MattySnipes]

Wow, what a chance for Nuge.

Canada has been fine so far, not mind blowing but solid......................no complaints about their overall team play yet.

Russia has been very flat though.

 

[jj cale]

Good first period for Canada, should be 2-0 though....................that should have been an automatic goal by Horvat and he messed it up, wonder if that will end up biting us in the ass.

 

[Blue prez]

Canada has been fine so far, not mind blowing but solid......................no complaints about their overall team play yet.

Russia has been very flat though.

Considering their roster quality - no. They are fine against this Russia, but not dominating. There's no creativity in offensive zone, and no energy to play nice gun'n'run game. We should expect more from this roster.

 

[MattySnipes]

Perfect interview by Parayko. So jealous he's on the Blues.
