Pre-Game Talk: World cup of hockey 2016 thread

[Lion Hound]

we have a ready to go Nash + a lightly used Staal for them! All for the price of Nuch, Honka, and a 1st!

only semi serious, but Nash would be a good all-around forward for them

Jedi mind trick trade!

I believe he is, last reports I read on twitter had Zucc joking around about scoring on Henk tonight. But don't hold me to that.

 

[Irishguy42]

Miller is in!

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

MiIller looking really confident out there leading his line.

 

[silverfish]

Can't watch the game but I'm tracking teh corsis online. Nakladal is hot in these streets to start.

 

[Revel]

Czechs look good. Couple of odd man rushes and some nice all-around passing. This should be a reality check for Team NA. The Czechs have their **** together...unlike Europe.

 

[aufheben]

These jerseys are firrrrre

 

[TheTakedown]

ouch, lame goal for Czech, but they have the puck movement going for them

 

[Revel]

Strange goal, but the Czechs really had some nice puck movement on that PP. They look like they've played together for awhile...not like an All-Star team.

 

[Revel]

Agree. They look like a team...not a hodgepodge

 

[BBKers]

Czechs better so far
Jones took a reckless penalty that led to a fluke goal
NA needs to use the speed
Czechs very tactical so far...

 

[Irishguy42]

The Miller-Coots-Saad line had a real nice chance just now.

 

[BBKers]

Neuvirth playing spectacular but not traditional in net. All over the place. NA dominating now

Yeah, the two PPs for Team NA has helped change the momentum in their favor. Czechs did very little the second half of the period.

Miller with barely any ice time. On pace for 11 mins of ice today :/

Larkin even worse than Miller @ less than 3 minutes. McDavid getting all the ice-time love.

I mean, it's not like the coaches are wrong for running their horses out there.

McDavid, Scheif, Johnny, Eichel are leading the way. As it should be.

 

[BBKers]

It looks like a bit like the Allstar game
Or free skating on Saturday evening
Quite the meh
Nobody wanting injuries before the real tourney begins it appears
Why should they risk it?

 

[silverfish]

Nakladal is getting ****ing torched. What a loser.

Oh just kidding, I was looking at all situations. He's actually having a great game 5v5.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Who is the coach of team NA?

McLellan

Miller the only guy trying to take the body for team NA

Almost had a goal too but couldn't get the puck to his backhand as it rebounded out in front

That's what I love about Miller. Passion and a pretty good all-around package.

With our luck he'll get himself injured while taking the body, lol

Yep, everyone else is dipsy-doodling.
