Are you even watching this game?

Judging by his player evaluations, he lives in a different universe than the rest of.. well.. mankind.

 

[vlady]

some really good looks by our boys. Augustine is good

 

[tobu]

Hasn't been tested.

He prevented like 3 goals from up close this period only.

The poster child for bias in the eye test lmao

There is simply no way one can sit down and watch gavin Brindley play and objectively come to the conclusion that he’s “mediocre”

It's funny, because that was the scouting consensus on him during his draft year, if you believe the quotes from the black book. I never understood it. I had him 10th in my final 2023 rankings.

Bratt + more bite and a non stop motor. He might end up being quite good

Yeah he definitely plays with more grit. I'm not sure if he'll become quite as skilled as Bratt, but he's got that sort of potential.

He could become a very special player.

 

[Namejs]

Not a good day for Slovakia. Couple players out, bad call on 2nd goal, no Gajan.

Augustine really good in net on the US side.

Still plenty of time though

There was no bad call, it wasn't even arguable. A Slovak skate tripped him over, he wouldn't have interfered with the goalie in any way otherwise.

 

[FourQuarters]

Huston should thank his goalie…

 

[Jukurit]

Slovakia so many good chances but can't score.

 

[vlady]

I don't care that much if we lose, I believe we can beat the Finns in the QF anyway.

 

[Antiillafire]

Augustine looks like he won’t let another goal in. Can see why Urban wasn’t drafted

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

I don't care that much if we lose, I believe we can beat the Finns in the QF anyway.

I think you'd be the favorites vs Finland as well. Slovaks and Czechs are both stronger this year IMO.

 

[MTU34]

Did Starman just suggest that Rinzel has been the best defenseman at the tournament? Seriously?

 

[tobu]

Great north south hockey. Lots of chances on both sides.

 

[clydesdale line]

Rinzel is developing faster than most even imagined (I did not think coming in he would even make this team when his freshman year started) and he's come a very long way in such a short amount of time... but no... he hasn't been that good Starman. I see what he's talking about, but he's also chased the play so many times.

 

[Jukurit]

I don't care that much if we lose, I believe we can beat the Finns in the QF anyway.

Slovakia is much more skilled and better coached team than Finland.

Starman gonna Starman

 

[vlady]

very good game indeed, Slovakia outshooting the US 19-6 in the second period

 

[Gritty]

that’s embellishment

 

[tobu]

Should be just a minor.

 

[vlady]

Looks like Syky tried to sell that

 

[Big L]

Nice soccer style dive there.

 

[czechcanadian]

What?? The stick didn’t even get up. Sykora just faking..

 

[Pieck]

Fortescue kind of looks like a male version of Dua Lipa

 

[vlady]

Mesaaar!

 

[nucks88]

Nice shot!
