I missed some of the first and only saw parts of the game but the play didnt seem that lopsided to me. Kuemper definitely wasnt good though.

Hard for any team to win when a goalie puts up that kind of performance. How couldn't the management team not find any goalies better than McElhinney and Kuemper? Yuck.

Not a great game to watch. Kemper was awful. What a terrible penalty McDavid took in overtime. A really lazy play. Most of the players looked disinterested.
Classic opening game for IIHF tournaments. I always prefer good teams getting at least one game vs a blueberry nation before going up against one of the big teams.

That third goal was something else. Kind of looked like Keumper was jumping towards the puck or jumping out of the way. I haven’t seen a goalie do that since Scrivens final days here.

:laugh:
I know it's france, but Russia's second goal on the PP I think there was no player within 5 m of Buchnevic who was 1 m in front on the goal...

Russia 3-0 after 10 mins, they already stopped playing.

:laugh: I've never heard the term 'blueberry nation' before. Is this a translation of a saying?

Right, I always forget that it isn't a english term. That is the Swedish term for ... ummm, not sure exactly but I guess it is something like beginners (like in new to the sport) or something like that.

North American term is creme puff (or creampuff).

At any rate, Hughes was probably the best defenceman on the ice tonight. For either team.

Damn you, Raab now I'm getting onboard.

For the next days we should make a general GDT, feels odd posting about other teams in the CAN USA thread... And if I start a Swe -Belarussia thread no one will read it...

No reason to not use this thread. Just get the title changed to be more general.

Wait... I missed something here, isn't Lias Andersson supposed to be suspended for the Silver medal stunt he pulled in the WJHC??

They were suspended for future WJHC games.

Which is a good joke because most of the players who were suspended are now too old to play anyways.

But they changed the verdict today.
Dahlin who was suspended from U18 is suspened from the WJHC, and the others are supposed to be suspened from the WHC.

Gotta go look.


Edit: :laugh: what a joke
He's suspended from next year's IIHF WHC.
IIHF at its best... :thumbu:
What a bunch of clowns

For the CAN - USA game it was country and western music, for the RUS - FRA game it was techno/electro (Russian style) and in the SWE - BLR game it's DJ ÖTZI ...

I hate the music but like the intent of the organiser :)
