Petan's mom deserved player of the game

No kidding, I'm not even sure how to say anything without getting in trouble.

 

[kazmanian]

I thought Duclair should have gotten a penalty and figured that was who was getting it not the Slovak kid that was a terrible call.

That's actually what I thought too

Anyone concerned about goaltending tomorrow? I am....

Fucale has zero rebound control and scares the hell out of me for the gold medal game he could **** the bed quickly.

At the 2010 IIHF World U20 Championships, Conz led the Swiss team to impressive fourth place finish. He managed an upset of the Slovaks by stopping 39 shots in a 4–1 victory.[2] This victory advanced Switzerland to the knockout round to face the highly favoured Russian squad. Against the Russian, Conz had another impressive match where he made 50 saves on 52 shots, as the Swiss advanced 3–2.[3] After losing to the Canadians 6–1 and Swedes 11–4 and out of the medals, Conz finished the tournament with a 4.76 GAA and an 89.31% save percentage, an impressive feat due to the workload the over-matched Swiss defence allowed on Conz. He faced more than 300 shots on goal, making him the tournament's busiest goalie, and his 284 saves in seven games were tournament best.[4] Despite allowing the second most goals in the tournament at 34, he was selected to the tournament all-star team[5] and named the best goaltender.[6]

Yes, Conz was good.

But Godla had a helluva performance in this tournament as well. We'll see what attention he gathers from the NHL.

 

[Incognito]

Loved the chants of "Goa-lie, goa-lie!" by the crowd. The only way it could have been better is if Godla had responded with "I have a name!"

 

[jcbio11]

Godla probably played himself to a late round draft pick in this tourney.

 

[29dryden29]

That's actually what I thought too

Ya when he took the kid down from behind after he hit Domi I was thinking what a stupid penalty to take.

 

[PG Canuck]

Bring on Russia.

 

[FLpanthers16]

Godla probably played himself to a late round draft pick in this tourney.

Not so sure about it.

 

[Cellee]

Connor McDavid... My god

It's going to be a great show by him tomorrow...

 

[kaiser matias]

No he didn't.

Yes, he did.

Against Germany, and then Denmark.

And Georg Sorensen, the Danish goalie, was selected in Denmark's games against Russia and then the Czech Republic.

 

[Ilyeu]

Imagine if Godla was drafted by L.A.

God-LA

It felt like I was playing an older sports video game. "What a play by Shooting Guard #23"

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Connor McDavid... My god

It's going to be a great show by him tomorrow...

Connor and Nic are good together, Fabri with Nic was almost as good as well. Both lines were doing damage.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I am wondering where all the people posting "McDavid is overrated" after game one have gone?

 

[GKJ]

Hard to go wrong with Canada/Russia.

 

[Natey]

Yes, Conz was good.

But Godla had a helluva performance in this tournament as well. We'll see what attention he gathers from the NHL.

Godla has been a bit better, but lacks the size Conz had.

I think this Slovak team is at least comparable. The Swiss had Nino, but Reway is fantastic in these tournaments.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Have to maximise the lines. Brayden Point is a very weak player to have anywhere in the top 6.

Though expecting some double shifting tomorrow.

Petan McDavid Lazar
Domi Reinhart Duclair
Crouse Gauthier Virtanen
Ritchie Paul Point

 

[starling]

Godla is smaller than Enroth though.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Imagine if Godla was drafted by L.A.

God-LA

Your job here is done, take the rest of the day off.

 

[Alerion]

Putting Point on the 4th line completely ruins its ability to cycle the puck for days but it's hard to argue with the success the top 6 is having at the moment. I'd rather keep the big 4th line intact but I can see what Groulx is trying to do.

Yeah, or like listening to Bob Cole in recent years. "What a save by the goalie!"
