Bring back Torts!

 

[FultonReed]

Bring back Torts!

Sully is the assistant, too

man, I missed hockey

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

should be Justin Faulk, tbh

I know. I think he was the biggest snub from the team, more so than Kessel or Johnson.

I would've had the defense as

McD-Carlson
Suter-Faulk
Byfuglien-Niskanen
Yandle/Shattenkirk

Just exhibition, but the quality of hockey is right up there with the WJCs. Very entertaining, I'm pleasantly surprised.

That being said, I hope both of these teams fail miserably. Team NA

I thought it would look like an all star game no checking casual defense since it's not the Olympics and it's September and these guys would take it easy, boy was I wrong. Looked like a playoff game. I also see Crosby's in mid season ***** mode already

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

What a save by Kesler

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

McDonagh has had a pretty bad game so far.

I wouldn't say bad. Mediocre, sure.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I wouldn't say bad. Mediocre, sure.

Mediocre if "bad" is Jack Johnson.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Picking Johnson for this team would be if AV decided was coaching Canada and picked Kevin Klein. Okay, maybe not that bad, but he's just out of place on this team. Jack Johnson is not that good.

That goes without saying, right?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Quick plays well in important games.

 

[nevesis]

Both these teams look much slower than team North America last night.

 

[nevesis]

Quick plays well in important games.

He actually looks very rusty too.

 

[nevesis]

Thankfully Couture is ok...that could have been really bad...

 

[Revel]

He hit his head hard on those boards. Wouldn't surprise me if they took precautionary measures. After all, he didn't get up right away. Really had his bell rung.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

McDonagh with a nice icing.

 

[silverfish]

Holy **** was that some bad rebound control from Price

 

[Irishguy42]

Oh other captain, my other captain!

 

[Revel]

Stepan you idiot!

 

[silverfish]

lol Stepan

 

[Cassano]

Stepan missed a sitter

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

And now the other Ranger misses an open net.
