crazy play.

 

[Gravity]

I hope Turcotte is one of those players that does well in the NHL despite doing f*** all in the WJCs because he's been really bad in both tournaments.

This thread is funny,
I'm starting to think that some of the USA fans would be pissed if Caufield scored the next goal.

 

[Canada4Gold]

No.

Well now that you've put it that way you've convinced me

 

[Fantomas]

Especiually given this guy

John Chayka - Wikipedia

Yeap, exactly the same damn name.

 

[Big Empty]

crossbar for the Americans.
wasn't from Caufield and he wasn't on the ice even, but his drive is phenomenal and his influence on the play immeasurable

Whatta post from this beauty. Keep at it.

Yes!!!

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Russia carrying the play right now

Anemic offense though

 

[NinjaKick]

lots of standing and watching from the States

 

[Sasso09]

USA had full control and York lost the puck for no reason at the blue line before that. Bad play all around.

You're reaching, the goal was like 30 seconds after that failed keep

 

[Canucks LB]

World juniors time!

Askarov having trouble seeing the puck and it finally pays off for USA

 

[Big Empty]

Groshev looks super good. Tampa always drafts well.

Also can't believe the Sens passed up on so many guys to take Sanderson so high

[Ezekial]

Don't call it a comeback, but check out the comeback boys

 

[SI90]

Great shift. USA actually showed heart and urgency there. Great puck possession and movement.

Loved Faber jumping in there.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Here we go

 

[jj cale]

Ya gotta start somewhere

 

[KaseMeOutside]

There we go let's see if they pick up some steam

 

[tictactoe]

I mean this is goalie interference?
No?

 

[mrmovies779]

Boldy has pretty clearly been the best player in my bias eyes. I will say that Caufield has definitely been the most dangerous. I think Boldy, Beniers, Caufield, and Brink have been the only good forwards.

Berard hasnt looked bad either.Admittedly im biased as a Rangers fan lol

 

[Opak]

Huge goal for the US. We have a game again.

 

[Sasso09]

Askarov is the best goalie prospect since Price

Hart better

Askarov hasn't looked great at all tonight TBH, he's letting up huge rebounds on most shots, USA just hasn't finished many

That's a high risk play even if it works out, it wasn't the right call, he was pressured and wanted to get rid of it.

Usually players that just want to get rid of it throw it down the boards and the puck is easily kept in the zone by the other team. He had an option to break out the puck with control rather easily if Berard was more aware of what was going on around him.

We see Chabot do that often in Ottawa, Karlsson did it a ton, it's the most effective way to break out when you have control right down the middle. That was bad luck, if it was a normal game no one would be talking about that. It's the WJC everything is amplified.

All that being said, I don't think he had a good game. He was average, you can see the skating ability and that he thinks the game at a high level but he's bobbling the puck and not moving as confidently as he can. The entire D has been that way though tonight, even York has been brutal in the 3rd.
