GDT: USA Vs Austria | 12/26 @ 9:30PM ET | TSN/NHLN

[NorCalhockey]

Gord and Ray are the best hockey announcing duo in the world right now.

Hear! Hear! I hope NBC Sports uses them now and again when NHL returns like they did last season.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

KArMa is A BiTcH WhY RuN Up THe sCoRE

It's not even close to being the case right now and the first line barely played the last half of the period

 

[ORRFForever]

Could be worse, like Slovakia beating Bulgaria 82-0 in the qualifiers for the women's Olympics or South Korea beating Thailand 92-0 at the 1998 U18 Asia/Oceanic championship. This game isn't even close.

Seriously? Wow! That is insane.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

This is honestly worse than CAN vs GER. Austria* is just getting better goaltending

 

[SlafCaufield]

He's a weapon that has been misfiring all game.

Play him with zegras and he'll pot three in the third

 

[Minnesnota]

He's a weapon that has been misfiring all game.

Right? Boldy has fed him 4 or 5 grade A chances and Caufield misfires each time.

 

[ORRFForever]

He's a weapon that has been misfiring all game.

He has, indeed. The puck has jumped over his stick a few times.

This is honestly worse than CAN vs GER. Switzerland is just getting better goaltending

Love this.

 

[HanSolo]

Eh I feel like 3-9was pretty interchangeable on draft day, but I thought zegras would be gone by 6 or 7 at latest, glad he fell to us at 9 tho.

Yeah that's true. And more in line with how I felt. Like it wasn't a huge shock on the day of, I had my fingers crossed that it would happen. Just felt like a win for the Ducks at the time. Feels like even more of one in hindsight. But then again, we've yet to see him in the bigs.

 

[Chainshot]

I also prefer the TSN crew, but I do feel Starman offers some decent insight/commentary.
NHL Network airs TSN feed for every WJC game except any game involving US.

Part of the issue is the TSN crew is in the arena while the NHLNet crew are calling it from the studio on the feed. I like Starman on some collegiate games but I do prefer Miller and Ferraro more.

 

[ORRFForever]

Right? Boldy has fed him 4 or 5 grade A chances and Caufield misfires each time.

Does he have a point tonight? (not being sarcastic)

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Love this.

Austria, sorry

That Slovakia game was bullshit. Eventually the Bulgarian team decided to just go with an empty net and go with 6 attackers and the Slovakians were taking flappers from inside the hash marks.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Love this.

At least no Australia. Getting closer, progress.

Cole Byfield

 

[The Burdened]

What is your obsession with Caufield? is that 5 out of your last 7 comments just taking weird pot shots at him?

My guess is you are rattled that the vast majority of people thought Philly should have taken him over York, and now you have this weird fixation on him.

Yes, I'm absolutely heartbroken that we didn't take the small floater with no goals and instead took the captain who has a goal and 3 points so far in the tournament

 

[kilowatt]

The Americans are clearly the better team, but I like what I've seen from Austria. Nothing to be embarrassed about.

 

[kabidjan18]

Austria, sorry

Don't worry about it haha its just funny.

 

[KingLB]

Love this.

Lol Switzerland/Australia...who can tell the difference .

 

[NewHampshire]

Typical US coaches dont know how to use Caufield

He's a weapon and theyre using him as net front

He's not there to be a net front presence, he's there to be a shooter. They have twice passed the puck below the goal line for a one touch to Caulfield in the slot - its pretty clear he's there to be a threat not a screen...

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

You have a franchise C on the board when you pick.

You need a franchise C.

You pick a franchise C.

Seider is good, but not Zegras good. Not even close.

uhh maybe Seider can turn into a franchise D himself?

 

[SlafCaufield]

Yes, I'm absolutely heartbroken that we didn't take the small floater with no goals and instead took the captain who has a goal and 3 points so far in the tournament

oh please

 

[kilowatt]

Beniers and Faber are the 2 that have impressed me the most so far.

I sound like a broken record but Faber's stock has probably risen the most after two games.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Any broadcast that doesn't have Button or Duthie are automatically better.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

At least no Australia. Getting closer, progress.

Don't worry about it haha its just funny.

Lmao I am watching the game FWIW, legit just a quick brain fart
