2016 WJC -- Helsinki Finland

I have this lingering memory of a match penalty meaning you're tossed this game and next. I seem to recall it in the WJC context. Google's not been my friend ...

Thanks. Saw some Jost highlights and thought he would be in the discussion. He is committed to North Dakota so he is eligible next year.

 

Draft eligible players rarely make Team Canada. Last year it was just McDavid and Crouse. Year before I think it was just Reinhart and Ekblad.

Marner, Strome and Barzal were all highly ranked last year, but weren't selected.

Match penalty means a suspension in most leagues.

Was that a match? I thought it was a major and a game misconduct.

White looks good. Always around the puck.

 

Better than Robin Lehner? :ph34r:

I think it was a major.

Spearing major and a game misconduct. I went to the box score.

Risto like wrister

Awfully important. However, if team USA knows anything, it's that Team Canada's not dead until the final whistle. Time after time ...

[wjag]

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Nice shot by Strome

[Neo]

Six foot tall goalie and he looks like a Bantam. Strong game, I think, for the kid. Canada's not the four line highlight real team it is in some years, but strong game.

[wjag]

Matthews....sooooooooo close

[Brawndo]

Borgen getting some early love from the Announcers

[wjag]

Both teams get the puck out of the zone pretty efficiently

I like Nick Schmaltz's game..

Yeah baby

[Brawndo]

USA USA!!!!!

[wjag]

That's game,,, Matthews

[Norcal]

Borgen had a tough shift right before he assisted on USA 3rd goal. The color guy has been very complimentary of Borgen, he really likes his game and said it'll come out more as the tournament goes on...I like that!

Nothing like playing an anti-American song when USA scores. You would think this was the Reagan administration.

[wjag]

I repeat again, this game should not be played opening night..

Okay..

 

Player of the game..  the US goalie?

That was also my first look at Auston Matthews. I couldn't pick him out of a lineup with the Harlem Globetrotters.

[Hank]

Canada fell apart, nice to see our boys win though. Nedeljkovic looked damn good.

Cue the Star Spangled

Borgen on the ice to end the game, showing some snarl and grit behind the net

[Neo]

I liked the color and the play by play.
