Or they're booing the selection and not the player...The crowd booing Slovakia's player of the game.. Classy.
It was classy to give Godla a standing ovation. Awesome moment.

Player can only win player of the game once, that's why Godla didn't win it.
what's your take on evans? dont watch much college
Oilers sending Draisaitl back to the Juniors, after denying him to go to the WJ... I know about the 40 games rule, but still... "Hey we want to keep you here, we need you with the team" and then "well, go back to your junior team, by the way, sorry, Germany will be out of the main division in the WJ next year, have fun!"
He probably wouldn't have made enough of a difference in the WJ to help Germany survive the relegation round beating Switzerland, but wow...
Is it wrong if I see a lot of Fleury in Fucale? Not the whole choking in the playoffs thing, but their styles seem eerily similar. Very acrobatic, extravagant, the 'anti-Price'.
Absolutely mind-boggling. You'd think the Oilers would at least wait a few days to save face...Typical Oiler prospect mismanagement.Oilers sending Draisaitl back to the Juniors, after denying him to go to the WJ...

On that note, Reway is dead. I don't know the stats, but it feels like he's' NEVER off the ice. Guy is going to sleep well after this tournament lol
wow do some people hate on Fucale. over on the wjc board and prospect board they have been ripping him to shreds. The guy has stopped 67 of 69 shots he's faced, leads the tourney in gaa, save % and SO's yet they are calling for him to be benched. I don't get it.

It's because he is a little bit of a Fleury. Fast and creative, not big and boring(Price-Rinne-Godla style).
It's mostly jets fans, who are peeved that comrie is not starting. Similar to nucks fans during the olympics last year.
Well he's the captain and I believe the leading scorer on a team that was generally thought to finish in 7th/8th. Now they'll finish 3rd or 4th. I hope 3rd.It was hard to get a read on him,and I only saw him for the last two games.
I thought he floated a lot but it makes sense if he's on a ton and his shifts are long.
Does he have a lot of upside?
I think he'll have to get into our system over here for a real evaluation to the NA game.
That's false. McDavid (CAN), Larkin (USA) and Sorensen (DEN) have won it twice. There is no rational explanation as to why God didn't win it.

I do have some concerns about his rebound control. And frankly, I would say that Comrie lost the starting job because of his 3rd period against the US. Zach needs to show better rebound control or d-men aware that he's struggling in that department.
I will watch for his rebound control more closely, have liked what I've seen from him so far although it's got to be tough if he's not tested for long periods of time. I remember when Price was in the dub and the talk about his problems with concentration. Just glad he's putting up good numbers or the wjc and prospect board would be in overdrive with the I told you.
even after him putting up fantastic numbers and playing very solidly thus far, that board is still in overdrive with completely unfounded and irrational Fucale hate so even if we win we're still gonna have to hear that extremely loud and vocal minority with all their "ooo, he scares me" and "but but but,, he let in 2 goal" nonsense.
... just like we had to hear during the Olympics about price from the hater.
haters gonna hate. even when its completely irrational and illogical to do so.
i'm used to the Habs hate at HF for all the years I've been here but with the numbers he's put up you'd think that would shut them up. Just think how bad it would be if he didn't have a .5 gaa and a .971 save %.
