GDT: USA VS CANADA. Part One and Part Two

[Emerald City Sabre]

USA, USA, USA!!!

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Maybe. I'm not used to this sort of competent defensive play (you know, being a Sabres fan and all)

McAvoy, Slavin, and Hanifin in particular have really stood out with their play in the defensive zone in the third period. They may have gone into a defensive shell, but they had the horses to still play strong defense (and Hellebucyk when all else fails).

Sabres have never had enough guys who can play in their own end.

 

[GellMann]

Slavin is unreal.

I've been pining for this guy for over a decade at this point

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Stacking the blue line ruins hockey. Get rid of the blue line and change offsides to soccers offsides and may every coach who plays this defensive shell bs get vicious and repeated jock itch outbreaks.

 

[oldgoalie]

Cournoyer looking frail. Used to love watching him race around the rink. Guy had a f***ing rocket of a wrist shot too.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Another fun night. If the NHL could bottle that with competent refereeing they would really have something.

Binnington just not good enough for Canada on the 2 goals.

 

[Beerz]

Shut up PK

Pushing Canadian propaganda on US airways

IDK if the NHL is gonna want to do this tourny every year with the guys going this hard. Seems like there have been a decent amount of injuries so far. And these are all top guys too.

Only been like 1 injury in the games played that is causing someone to miss time.

 

[OkimLom]

US alone atop the standings. Everyone else tied at the bottom

Or tied for 2nd

The Road Runner!

 

[Chainshot]

US going into the Sabres Shell... don't think it's going to work out well for them if they continue

Sullivan likes turtling.

 

[HOOats]

First hockey game I've rooted that hard for in a decade. Incredible event.

Same as soccer, international just hits on a different level. Pride and identity >>> money.

 

[Chainshot]

Just a remind, Jason Botterill didn't think this kid deserved a contract -



Also, any time I can see Sam Bennett's dome whipping back because someone has punched his dirtbag face, I'm good.

I had to take my 64-year-old mom out tonight to get her a salad. She's not that old or anything but she's a hermit otherwise. We get to this restaurant, in Charlotte, and everyone is glued to the TV as the game starts. So I made her sit and wait for a moment and then the fights started happening and then the scoring started happening and finally I dropped her off. Her entire input from that was, "I miss hockey sounds, are the Sabres still doing that?"

Sadly, we are not.

 

[sabremike]

imagine being canadian

 

[beerme1]

And of course I lose my stream ...

Time for a new router?

 

[Beerz]

Time for a new router?

Nah..was an illegal stream.... but dumbass me forgot I have Hulu for free so it all ended up working out

 

[EichHart]

Eichel is so good now, he was good with us but his game is so complete. He does everything well now. I'm sad.

The only thing that opens the game up more is a bigger ice surface or fewer players on the ice. The skating has just evolved too much.

He didn't deserve it at the time. It sucks to see what he became, but I think not being tendered led to him making changes that made him successful.

still a shithole human being though. but I did like watching him oplay.

Just like Eichel, not sure he would have ever turned into this player in the Sabres system.

 

[Jim Bob]

Mildly surprised they weren't bumping Not Like Us in the locker room.
