Eichel and McDavid are both trying to live up to the media hype too much this tournament.

Yup. It's too bad.

I'm falling in love with Hanifin this game. He's just so smooth

I don't know how good Hanifin will be offensively, but defensively he is going to be extremely good.

You didn't fall in love in the Canada game? I thought he and Larkin were our best players in that one.

I liked him there too. He's been exceptional tonight. He genuinely looks like he's hovering

A long term top 4 of myers hanafin risto zadarov would be disgustinly good in 2-3 years

I'm a big Compher guy, but his style of play is going to lend himself to injuries at the NHL level. He does the little things to help you win, I just hope his body can withstand the punishment.

 

[ZeroPT*]

Yeah I'm worried about that too. Maybe even with Girgensons

Skating is something you can always work on and improve. The skills he currently possesses; his vision, awareness, hockey IQ, can not be taught

what? if your talking actual eyesight i'll give you that one but you stated three very related things in hockey that are very much learned in fact the ones that learn them are called veterans.

 

[ZeroPT*]

ouch

Sonny Milano has a funny looking head. Also doesn't seem to be too good at hockey.

 

[Zip15]

Same freaking thing as last year. Post-Canada hangover loss to Russia after the Russians looked underwhelming in group play.

 

[ZeroPT*]

FWIW, Matthews I think has been excellent today

 

[Zip15]

Can someone tell me why Butcher seems to get such huge minutes? On the 5-on-3 it should be DeAngelo and four forwards. You can't tell me the 5-on-3 wouldn't be better with Schmaltz or Milano out there.

 

[Beerz]

Idiot selection team.. combined with idiot coaching.

Recipe for disaster.

This team was overrated from the start anyways.

 

[Beerz]

I take it ..that it's 3-0 now?

 

[Montag DP]

That looked like a classic Sabres 5 on 3.

 

[kenfury]

I take it ..that it's 3-0 now?

3 to 1

 

[Beerz]

3 to 1

What period?

 

[ZeroPT*]

What period?

turd

 

[Zip15]

Werenski. 3-2!! Softie, but I'll take it.

Schmaltz has been authoritative in the offensive zone today. Better see him a lot from here on in.
