World's Wild dudes

Hlavaj's season stats aren't much to look at year to year, but he has been outstanding in international play both of the last two years.

Just had a massive poke check to deny Boldy in alone, been making excellent reads on the US offense all game.

 

[BagHead]

I'm happy to see Patrick Thoresen still playing. I always had a silly love for that player, based only on his name, how well he turned out for me in an EA NHL game, and that time he pretended to be Zuccarello.

Boldy scores, 5 shots. USA loses - SAY WHAT?? I thought they lost to Sweden just because of jetlag?

 

[Webster]

Sweden up 5-0 vs Germany with one to go.
Johansson with another assist. Ek has gone invisible, this guy in a nutshell.

 

[Arturia Pendragon]

My main takeaway from the WHC so far is that Johannes Johannesen is a real person.

From Johannesburg

Guerin watching Johansson putting up stats going:

 

[Sweetnut]

Johansson 1 assist, 2 shots, +2, 17.32 TOI
Ek 2 shots, -1 (in a 6-1 game!) 18.13 TOI
Brodin +2, 18.42 TOI

Wallstedt on the bench, Ersson in the net.

Zuke didn't play, I guess he was busy mentoring the janitors in the arena.

Boldy 1 goal, 5 shots, 19.02 TOI

For the first time in his career, MoJo didn't score a goal in a World Championship game.

 

[Wabit]

For the first time in his career, MoJo didn't score a goal in a World Championship game.

Isn't this the first time he's been in the WC?

 

[Sweetnut]

Isn't this the first time he's been in the WC?

Yes, and he scored in all of his games until now.

 

[Webster]

Norway's superstar (as IIHF calls Zucc) was given a day off to charge batteries for tomorrow's battle against Denmark

Sweden up 5-0 vs Germany with one to go.
Johansson with another assist. Ek has gone invisible, this guy in a nutshell.

Huh?

 

[Webster]

Huh?

Ek great in the first game, then no points in the next two, despite 11 goals for them.

Btw...today's action: Norway vs Denmark 2-0.
MBN played with Zucc, and the kid scored. He has a rocket of a shot.
Zucc with the assist.

My bad....wasn't sure if you were just referring to him in the tournament or as a player overall.

He played well though in each game. Thought it was funny he even got his routine 2 minute matching roughing penalty for getting mauled at the netfront yesterday. Compared to the uncalled physicality in the US game it just always stands out, refs seem to get annoyed by him just as much as the other team.

MBN has an NHL shot, really quick release, interesting potential there for sure.

Ek has been noticable enough, even though he didn't get any points. Against Poland he had 8 shots in 20 minutes. That's pretty f***ing far from invincible, lol. But just watching the scoresheet gives a black and white picture and not the whole story.
If he wins a board battle, gets inside position when his linemates give-and-go, then provides a perfect screen for a beautiful goal and gets no assist, then he's just plain "invincible, NO PONITS!!!11!"

Bedard fans on a puck from no angle and it deflects in, Ray Ferraro: “anyone else and that’s a whiff but you can’t tell me Bedard wasn’t trying for that, he is great, he may be the best we have ever seen.”

Lmao what?

No? Yours is better

Okay Ray, we get the Calder winner hasn’t been announced yet, but geeez.

We all know Faber would just stare at the puck and it’d go in anyways, no whiff necessary

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Rossi scored in the final minute to complete the comeback and force it to OT for Austria against Canada. Tavares puts it away in OT 7-6 but what a collapse from Canada in the third.

 

[MrRuin]

Ridiculous game in the third. Five (5) unanswered goals by Austria. Absolutely wild. And pretty goals too, Rossi made a great move on Binnington to tie it

It doesn't take watching a game to know you're right. All you need to do is find a single data point that validates something you believe strongly enough, and that belief becomes fact.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Sweden beats Kazakhstan, MarJo with a nice goal. I thought Brodin was excellent in this game, very involved in the offensive play with nice passing, the Kaz goalie absolutely stood on his head to make the score a lot closer than it should have been.

Watch the Austria-Finland highlights when you get the chance, I won’t spoil beyond it’s an exciting finish.

Matt Boldy absolutely going off. 2 goals, 1 assist in 4 shifts against France. The goals were absolute beauty one timers. That is the Matt Boldy shot I want to see, he hits 40+ shooting like this.

 

[Sweetnut]

Marcus Johansson scores again and is looking good together with Burakovski. His skating really stands out, and the bigger ice benefits him. His line is +7, no goals against in 4 games, best in the tournament so far.
