Heh, Gardiner...I mean, Honka...really good play, immediately followed by really bad play:

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

BREAKING NEWS: Alexis Lafreniere is very good.

 

[Canes]

BREAKING NEWS: Alexis Lafreniere is very good.

And I bet he's going to be in the East, maybe even the Metro.

Late powerplay for USA to give them a chance to tie it up.

And it's TIED! Our powerplay is deadly.

Now Canada scores in seconds to regain the lead. USA dumpster fire confirmed.

 

[Canes]

Canada wins. USA will be lucky to medal this year, IMO.

 

[Lempo]

What if we drafted Hoglander in the 1st like some had predicted pre-draft and we had the only two players in the world with proven track records of pulling off the Svech?

Scoop him up, buy low.

 

[CandyCanes]

Honka also had the smallest minutes out of the defensemen

 

[SvechneJerk]

Wasn’t Tanus a 2019 prospect?

Wasn’t Tanus a 2019 prospect?

One of the youngest 2018 prospects Actually.

 

[Brock Anton]

Heh, Gardiner...I mean, Honka...really good play, immediately followed by really bad play:

More defensemen like this please, I'm a sucker for chaos.

 

[SvechneJerk]

So, what’s the story on him? Any chance someone takes a flyer on him this summer?

He is small and not an elite skater, he put up historical numbers In finnish 2nd tier league, so if he was going To be drafted, it would have been Last year imo.

Kittos!

 

[WreckingCrew]

Remember when someone judged a prospect based off of the world juniors?

Sample size n=1 is all anyone needs to fully evaluate a player!

Defenseman threw a slow pitch softball right in front of him.

Isn’t that his second time doing that Michigan style? That guy has soft mitts.

Nils Höglander Zorro Goal (SHL) - [DIF-RBK] 2019-10-29

That’s the one. That’s the best one I’ve ever seen. Bank off the net move into old school press and scoop Michigan in both the d’s and the goalies faces. He starts the move from almost the boards.

My personal favourite as well. That pass to himself and the fact he has a defenseman all over him make it even better.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Heh, Gardiner...I mean, Honka...really good play, immediately followed by really bad play:

Dammit Pitkanen!

That goal is sexy as hell. So is the color on color jersey matchup. I wish that would happen more often in the nhl.

 

[AD Skinner]

Definitely in favor of more color on color games. The winter classic in ann arbor is the best example I can think of but even like the recent preseason games where the canes played Nashville and tampa red vs yellow and red vs blue were so great

 

[GoldiFox]

USA vs. Germany on NHL Network at 1PM. Tune in to see Dominik Bokk in action. He led all players with 8 points in 5 games during Germany's lower-division gold medal last year (leading to WJC promotion).

Keep beating that drum, bg.
