Pre-Game Talk: World cup of hockey 2016 thread

Bishop is so bad. McDonagh saved a goal.

Definitely one of the most overrated players in the league right now.

Definitely one of the most overrated players in the league right now.

His lateral movement is so bad. If he wasn't 8'10, I don't think he'd be in the NHL.

 

[Irishguy42]

McDonagh and Kesler >>>>>>> Quick or Bishop

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Palmieri wants Schneider to play.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Besides the two empty nets, Stepan has been good.

 

[silverfish]

Tonight redemption is spelt S-T-E-P-A-N

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Rangers still can't score on Price

 

[Cassano]

Is Bergeron the 3rd best center of this generation? After Crosby and Malkin.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Stepan scored to seal the 4-2 victory, in case anyone doesn't want to check the box score and didn't watch the game.

Tortorella really really loves the turtle strategy

Watching tonight made me appreciate AV. I don't miss Torts or his style

Yeah but what was his Corsi? That's more important.

What a scrub

 

[dshea19]

Step looked involved and active, if not super accurate. McD looked too much like last season. A little passive and spectating.

Good for the leader for team USA in that match.

I guess I forgot my

But yeah, Stepans goal was the only shot of the third period. Not great.

McD did look kind of out of it and not really engaged but that's not even vaguely how he looked last season

e: most of the US D looked pretty bad at one thing or another though

And AV doesn't turtle? That cost us a Cup 2 years ago

 

[pld459666]

Not watching but from the sounds of it Torts has his team roughing up NHL stars in an exhibition game for an exhibition tournament? So classic Torts

Exactly as it should be.

I'd hate to see a tournament like this played with an all star game mentality. That would be boring as f**k and would fail in its overall effort to be something the NHL and NHLPA want it to be.

Yeah, and we couldn't do much about all that either, huh?

Tampa has to trade Bish and cash in, his nominal value far exceeds his real value. Stevie Y is gonna get to rip off another GM.

I hope he instead decides to trade Vasilevskiy somewhere out West.

Yzerman is too good of a GM to do that though, I think. I hope I'm wrong.

I don't think you're wrong. No way Yzerman trades Vasilevski. The only thing we can (hope) for is that nobody is going to pay Tampa a king's ransom for Bish. And I'm certain some moron GM will.

 

[Irishguy42]

Lundqvist about to go on and show Finland what is up

 

[nevesis]

Let's go Hank!

 

[Mac n Gs]

What channel is the game on?
