GDT: Russia Vs USA - 12/25 - 9:30 PM ET - TSN/NHLN

USA better get a quick one if they want back in this game no way they are putting 4 past Askarov in the 3rd. Think they should tryout Zegras Turcott and Caufield in the 3rd

 

[tictactoe]

Looks like Red Machines PP.

 

[domiwroze]

alright time to play Caufield more than 3 min per period lol

 

[ViD]

Russia with 4 goals and star playing with nothing to show for

 

[TheBeastCoast]

The Americans looks smaller and slower then the Russians. Which is not a awesome combo.

 

[NorCalhockey]

All of the US blue chip forwards just seem really underwhelming. Aren't Turcotte/Caulfield supposed to be game changers at this level?

Zegras, Knight, Kaliyev, Turcotte sooooo lucky they were already drafted.

 

[Osprey]

I believe that I heard NHL Tonight suggesting before the game that Knight might be the best goaltender in the tournament. That hasn't aged well.

 

[tictactoe]

Askarov overplays the puck and looks a bit shaky ...

They both have a ton to learn. Although if you go on the Caufield prospect thread Hab fans were comparing him to Marcel Dionne lol

But in all honesty they just have a lot to learn and should be fine.

 

[bsu]

Better shift there.

 

[Svedu]

But I thought the US had all the stars and the Russians were a bunch of no names

Haha Good one.

Khusnutdinov is one of those who are better than most players on USA´s roster. Even if many don't know it yet.

 

[PWJunior]

The US d-men need to stop with the brutal turnovers.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Haha Good one.

Khusnutdinov is better than most players on USA´s roster.

love Marat

Honestly a lot of their stars are two way players, They might not put up a ton of points, but they’re definitely imposing their will.

amirov and pod, Have been quiet on the scoring sheet, but they’ve been working extremely hard, I think I’ve counted like 6 hits between the two, and like 5 takeaways

 

[Northerner]

This USA team is pretty rubbish.

 

[surixon]

Sanderson having a real rough night so far.

 

[jj cale]

Ah, here come the bold "it's in the bag" comments already.

Only took 2 periods for some people to start making their medal calls, classic hf

 

[bsu]

What the f*** is wrong with Sanderson?

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Caufield is the US most dangerous forward clearly.

 

[Erep]

Zegras, Knight, Kaliyev, Turcotte sooooo lucky they were already drafted.

What about Sanderson...

 

[domiwroze]

Sanderson is terrible

 

[SI90]

Wolf with a nice save. Knight would have let in 2 goals on that one lol

 

[ViD]

Spiridonov had an easy pass for a one timer goal, instead he tried to shoot and lost the puck

 

[peconcan]

USA should start double shifting the top line like Canada did with Tavares NYE 2009. That was hands down best game I’ve ever seen live Tavares kept double shifting and got the hat trick for Canada to get the coke from behind win

 

[c9gunner]

Askarov overplays the puck and looks a bit shaky ...

Yes and No. He is not shaky - it's just his way to play. He is actually very strong mentally.
