Pre-Game Talk: World cup of hockey 2016 thread

[silverfish]

Yep, everyone else is dipsy-doodling.

Matthews crushing teammates.

Could you imagine the reaction if McDavid was injured on that play, by Matthews no less, and missed half the season again?

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Is the game not on espn?

ESPN3. Watching it online right now.

A Canadian Civil War between the East and West.

 

[Revel]

What a pass by Pasternak

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Nice shot by the Ghost

****ing Plekanec

 

[Irishguy42]

****ing Plekanec

Courtier didn't do much to prevent Plekanec from being there. Don't recall where JT was on the play though. Not near the net, for sure.

To those who watched the game, how does this compare to what you thought?

Whoops. Bad screenshot. Horizontal axis is % of shot attempts for team that the player was on the ice for.

 

[Levitate]

Seems fairly right

 

[nevesis]

Lets go Sweden!

 

[nevesis]

That mask tho.

 

[Revel]

Lets go Sweden!

Can't get into that one right now. Am much more looking forward to Russia vs Canada.

Turning to that during intermission of Sweden/Europe, gotta see how Hank looks.

That poor 4th line ostracized to the corner, tho.

The Russians puck movement on the PP is god like.

Confirmed with link Eichel > McDavid

 

[Revel]

Russia was totally outplayed that period. Their 2nd PP was a dumpster fire.

 

[nevesis]

Sweden's defense is looking eerily like the Rangers of last season...

 

[RempireStateBuilding]

Bobrovsky just made a couple crazy back-to-back saves shorthanded against Canada.

 

[silverfish]

Five goals against on twenty-two shots and Enroth is in.

Yikes.

Yikes.

Hopefully he gets it out of his system now ..... not at the beginning of the Rangers season.

Well, it's a disappointing showing, that's for certain.

The last player in the league I'm worried about is Hank, though.

Not implying that you are worried, just saying

Henrik is always pretty rough the first few games through. Every preseason he seems to struggle. Hopefully he uses the tournament to shake the rust off so he's ready to go once he gets to camp.
