I am just happy, we beat Russians even though we lost Lauko.

Also, Jan Jeník (that guy who had insane point streak in OHL) uses old slang “Rusáci” instead of proper “Rusové” AND IT WARMS MY HEART.

Keep beating that drum, bg.

I don’t see the problem, it’s an amazing goal! It really is my favorite one. It’s never been anything against Svech.

Some fancy PP passing by Bokk (#26 at right point) and Stutzle as Germany went up 1-0 on USA. Now tied 1-1.

Germany has been outscored 26-0 in the past 4 meetings so even scoring is a step in the right direction.

Surprisingly it looks fairly even right now. Though Spencer Knight on paper should be considerably better than Germany's goalie. Bokk is hanging in there with USA's best. Playing the right point on the PP, looks calm, saved a short handed chance against with a good backcheck, and created a few scoring chances. He's a heady player among this group. Finding the soft areas on offense and defense.

Knight isn’t playing today.

2-1 USA. Bad line change by the Germans.

That makes sense. I'm watching on mute and just assumed.

Bokk!!!!

3-2 Germany.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Germany is now up 3-2. Herr Bokk with the go ahead goal.

Good to see Bokk holding his own against the stacked US team. It was a nice swing by Carolina to get him in the Faulk sign-and-trade.

 

[GoldiFox]

Bokk rips one past the goalie on an odd-man rush. He has looked very good this game. 1G and 2A if they eventually add in his pass to Seider on the 2nd goal (they have been slow about secondary assists).

Pinto bean ties it.

Pinto ties it up

It's nice to see Puistola and Bokk get off to good starts since they seemingly haven't been in the best situations this year on their European clubs.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

4-3 USA.

Yanks back up. What a pass by Zegras

5 points in 7 games for Puistola since being loaned to Jukurit is pretty good.

I'm aware of that, yes, but that's part of my point. Guys playing in European leagues may not always be getting the best chance, and Puistola didn't for most of the year. It's nice to see them put up points when they are again put in good situations.

You guys killed it with Bokk. Hes been legit vs US.

It’s so hard to take anything away from his points with Rogle. 1 goal 3 assists in 23 games.

Yes, exactly, Rogle is stacked this year, and as a result, the vets are getting all of the ice time. It'll be interesting to see how Bokk does when he reports to the AHL next year, as young guys do get lots of developmental time in Charlotte.

 

[GoldiFox]

Bokk has an Aho quality about him where he calmly and consistently wins board/puck battles against multiple and/or bigger opponents. Heady player.

 

[Canes]

Germany has had a bit of a lull since Draisaitl was drafted but Seider, Bokk, and Stutzle are all really good prospects. Would be nice to see them catch up to the Swiss eventually.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Puistola puts Finland up 1-0 on the pp against Slovakia.

Germany having a good start vs the Czechs. Up 2-0 midway through the first.
