World Cup 2016

Breaking news: Barkov is good.

[Randall Flagg]

You mean that turnover that came on the heels of his great pass for the one-timer by Gaudreau? 

It was Larkin that took that shot, and I'm joking just as much as the others. 

 

This game is just fun.

Murray is real good.

 

Jack and Risto going easy on each other in the corner there :lol:

I noticed that too! Someone, somewhere, is going to interpret that as lack of compete.

[K-9]

Murray is a stone wall. 

 

I'm having fun, too, Randall. I got confused between Johnny Hockey and Larkin because they are so similar in body type.

Risto's play on MacKinnon  :wub:

[WildCard]

Risto is going to have a monster year

:beer:

 

Risto's play on MacKinnon  :wub:

Which makes his letting up on Eichel (and Eichel's lack of a reverse-check that I've seen him do) moments earlier that much funnier! 

[WildCard]

That sauce pass from Jack to Johnny Hockey was unreal

Jack is so fast, and Johnny should have gotten him the puck there. That line is good though.

[TrueBlueGED]

Johnny Gaudreau: the new generation's Theo Fleury? What a fun player.

[Taro T]

Risto is going to have a monster year

Risto is going to have a monster year

Yep. Hopefully he's locked up for 8 before that.

I envision Ted Nolan sitting on a porch somewhere, drinking cheap beer, yelling at his black and white tv. Edited September 19, 2016 by sodbuster

Pittsburgh isn't the fastest team in the league?

[TrueBlueGED]

Pekka Rinne is trash.

[sodbuster]

Dang, I thought NA was good, but I didn't expect this.

[SwampD]

No goal.

[WildCard]

As an aside,

 

McDavid - OHL

 

Eichel - NCAA

 

Matthews - Sweden (forgot the league)

 

Found that to be very interesting. So many debates about the best way to be prepared for the jump to the NHL, and which league does that for a player the best. Not a terrible case study

I love the ref cams.

[TrueBlueGED]

I love the ref cams.

 

Me too! Anyone know if there are plans to use them in the NHL this year?

[Randall Flagg]

It's fun watching MacKinnon and Drouin play together again. Nuge is a good fit there.

[WildCard]

IIRC they were up 5-1 vs Europe and lost, so this is far from over

Swiss National League A

Swiss National League A

Much appreciated

I thought they already used them at one point, but the refs didn't like it because they showed that they were looking directly at penalties that weren't called.

They beat Europe twice, pretty easily each time.
