World Cup 2016

It's McDavid's turn to be criticized, he's had a bad third period.

[Brawndo]

Never mind back to the off wing

Jack is rubbing off on him. ;)

[Randall Flagg]

Gaudreau with a filthy finish there, 6-4.

[Randall Flagg]

Larkin empty net goal, 7-4. Team NA needs to keep the pedal to the floor if they want to have a chance against Canada/Sweden/USA. Those last two periods would get them crushed.

[Eleven]

Don't leave.

 

Thanks, man, but if it turns into a weekly Bills forum, while Scott has Two Bills Drive going on, well, it's been a nice ELEVEN year run.

Quit bitchin. Nothing wrong with puck heads talking some football. It's just one more off topic thread of many, who gives a ? You sound petty.

[Randall Flagg]

Matthews, Gaudreau, MacKinnon, Ekblad have been team NA's best players, maybe Scheifele too.

However I sound, I sound.  

 

TwoBillsDrive exists for a reason.

 

I stay here for a reason.

[Thorner]

But his defensive game is great, right?

Yup, it's been pretty good. I'll just ignore the snark.

Because the games don't matter. That's why. Even McJesus isn't going to bust his ass in a pre tournament game.

I'm going to make comments on the game no matter how much it bugs people or how little the game matters. Perdóname.

 

If it isn't your thing, maybe a hockey forum isn't the right place to be, ya know?

have to agree with eleven on this one.

Same.

 

I wasn't really online yesterday, but I positively flinched when I logged on this morning and saw a Bills GDT.

If there can be a Bills thread (of which I have no problem with), I'm certainly within the lines of being on topic if I want to point why a particular player's effort wasn't there.

 

If you don't want to here opinions as to why some of the things you are proposing are happening, then maybe hockey debate of any kind isn't suited to you, ya know?

I feel as if I debated quite well, in that big post I made a couple nights ago. I was fine with the disagreement, and argued against points made against what I said. What you just quoted is my response to what seemed like anger that I dare try and analyze a hockey game that's happening, in the thread made to do exactly that.

[That Aud Smell]

People are now debating whether they're actually debating. So meta.

That's debatable.

I know I've posted it here once or twice (on this board, not in this thread), but I just love it for situations like this:

Nope, no anger on my part. Not even anything remotely close, haha. And any analysis of the play in the game on your part is obviously a completely valid opinion. I am just of the opinion that there is going to be an over-arching reason for much of the poor play, and effort (or lack there-of).

Fair enough response. I'll also note that this is the only thing I think I've not seen eye-to-eye with you, with regards to hockey.

True enough.

 

Don't worry, Rick. We'll be back to seeing things the same way soon.

What did you get ?

 

Shepherd/Beagle/Hound mix it's believed.  I can put pics in the picture thread. :)  They were brought up to Rochester from Lousiana as part of a rescue from the flooding.

See, I never opened the thread.  I saw it and thought "I don't want to talk about the Bills".  Apparently it saved my sanity.  Don't let a few "off-topic" threads derail you from the important hockey conversation we always have!

At least make any Bills threads OT, since it is.

[Brawndo]

Jack on Nugent Hopkins Wing with Johnny Hockey.

 

Also on the point of the PP. Matthews-McDavid-Scheriffle and Ghost make up the rest of the unit

[WildCard]

They have RNH over Jack at center, after Jack started at the second center slot? Sounds like he's not doing so hot

Disagree for two reasons mostly.

 

1.) McClellan is keeping Jack paired with their best performing winger in Johnny hockey. I seriously doubt he makes that decision if Jack is struggling.

 

2.) There are 49 centers on that squad. Which one, from a purely physical standpoint, is best suited to play on the wing?

 

I'd also mention that RNH has been their best performing C so far, so I see it as more of a promotion of him to the top line previously centered by a struggling McDavid.
