Intermission report is actually grilling Weber for putting himself in a vulnerable position. He did stop for some reason while Kesler was going full speed, but still too much from Kes.

It`s American commentator, isn`t it? You would never hear that if it was Ducks-Chicago, probably :laugh:

Here's guessing Kesler knew exactly who that was and the position he was in and decided to get a little risk free payback for some of the dirty crap Weber pulled in the playoffs.

I'm all in favour of letting players play in international games. Injuries are part of the sport.

But in this gimmic tournament? I mean, imagine Lindholm suffering a season ending injury in the exhibition game against Farce Europe. Or in the group against Farce Young guns. :laugh::cry::facepalm:

That hit was dirty from Kesler. I'm glad he plays for Anaheim because he's a great player but he is a piece of ****.

Apparently Rakell has some kind of injury or something and will not play tonight against FIN.

I've seen sources saying he's out with some kind of an illness. At this point, it seems that the only certain thing is that he's not playing tonight. Hopefully Rakell is OK.

Lindholm fell for no apparent reason in his 2nd shift. Reminiscent of early 2015-2016.

Rakell probably again made a dangle so sick it made him sick for tonight

None taken my friend, just wanted to point out that this particular Canadian isn't panicking. There's no shame in losing to any of the top tier countries IMO.

There's nothing to panic about either. Canada lost an exhibition game that they were the better team in because of a rusty goalie.

Maybe Weber thought he was at the ASG and wouldn't get hit ?

Kesler glides about 10 feet before the hit, doesn't follow through and doesn't leave his feet. Weber saw him coming.

Maybe a questionable hit for a supposedly exhibition game but the blame is as much on Weber as it is on Kesler. Game misconduct penalty was a little severe though - should have been a double minor for roughing at most.

Yeah I thought it was dirty but a major was a bit much. Kesler would be the one to throw that hit in an exhibition game though. Which is part of what makes him so good.

Vatanen scores on his own goal.

Accidentally of course, deflected off his skates.

That never gets old. Goddammit, Bob, sign those kids. It's too late to sign them without making a potentially bad trade. Make the trade, sign the Swedes. Hakuna Matata.

Edit: Wait! Silfverberg scored a goal off of Vatman's leg?! I love our team.
