World Cup 2016

In other news, today I learned what a Polish Porch is. Legitimately had never heard that before.

You can complain about player choices and utilization, but there are a helluvalot of good US forwards who have created squat today.

Hard to produce as a forward when you're on the ice with Jack Johnson.

[Hoss]

Yes. I want everyone involved in USA Hockey who had a hand in this to have nothing to do with the Olympic team.

I don't think there is going to be an Olympic team with NHL players.

[darksabre]

Oh, you betcha!

Man it's nice to watch some hockey.

That is killer.

[GoPre]

As soon as they named Torts to the team I was rooting for the team to be terrible. Let's hope that's the case. I hope they go winless.

I'm pulling for Team North America.

 

Might not like a guy, but don't pull for Team USA to lose because of him. It's our country. And there's no need to hold it against the players. 

[dudacek]

You're blaming Johnson for Kane's turnovers and Parise getting swallowed up along the boards?

 

 

 

Kane bad shoot-in, Pacioretty no forecheck

JVR holds the puck too long

Fine, then take what I said and apply it to the next World Cup.

[Hoss]

Kane played a total of 4:45 in the first period

Oshie outmuscled in tight

I do what I want!

[dudacek]

Kesler coughs it up

Backes random dumpin to EUR dman

[DarthEbriate]

There have been a couple screened shots and Kane ripped one wide (or deflected). But has team US even generated one legitimate scoring chance this entire game?

This is disheartening (from a team USA point of view)

[dudacek]

JVR shut down at the blueline. Twice.

[GoPre]

Legend of Zelda music at a hockey game?  :blink:

You've made your point about lackluster forward play while doing zero to counter the point about poor defensive play. The Dmen pinching and getting roasted on odd man rushes is responsible for about 95% of Europe's scoring chances. Shall I give a play by play of each one like you're doing with the forwards, or is a slightly less obnoxious method acceptable?

[dudacek]

Good pressure there, but no chances.

I'd go for less obnoxious. ???? Edited September 17, 2016 by dudacek

Talk of team USA shortening their bench.....

 

 

 

......ITS TEAM USA!!! OH MY GOD, HOW BAD DOES THIS TEAM SUCK??

[dudacek]

Hand?

Id let it stand

Directed by the chest?

That should be a goal.

[darksabre]

Is this NHL rules?

[DarthEbriate]

Does hand to head not count? Huh.

Well... Sometimes you need a lucky bounce and don't get it. But maybe this awakens the attack anyway

[SwampD]

On that, if someone's helmet comes off, do they have to stop playing and immediately get it before they play again?

In international I think they even stop play don't they?

[DarthEbriate]

Nice to see an Eichel jersey on the advertisement coming out of commercial break.

[dudacek]

Americans got some energy now.

I think that's only if the goalie gets hit in the head with a puck. Players just have to put their lid back on.
