GDT: 2014 World Championships Thread

[DCDM]

Too small to play in the NHL

Won't be any good

YEAH OKAY MAN

 

[Nordberg]

Backlund with 2/3 goals in Sweden's win over SVK... Much respect to him and Nyquist who actually bothered to come over from NA. (can also mention Erik Gustafsson and Mattias Ekholm. Might have forgotten someone.)

I sincerely hope Mikael can put his injury troubles behind him and continue working on becoming a truly elite 2WC.

Likewise. Nothing would please me more than seeing him in the 2018 Olympics (honestly he should've been there this year, but c'est la vie).

 

[Taranis]

Anyone else excited for Canada vs Sweden?

Anyone else excited for Canada vs Sweden?

I'm watching right now!

 

[Taranis]

The ref sure isn't shy about calling penalties eh?

 

[GetThePuckOut]

Here's a tip: put all your vCash on the heavy favorites. You get 50 back, plus like a 5% return on your initial investment. I lost it all on the Avalanche but thanks to the WC I'll be back in the game in no time. Tomorrow it's all in on Sweden vs. Italy. I'll get like 80 vCash back.

Johnny G's toe-drag... If only that went in....

 

[Taranis]

Monahan's line just scored a second goal versus Norway.

 

[ViCiieux]

Gaudreau putting on a show against Germany!

 

[GetThePuckOut]

Monahan could have had one of the goals of the tournament if he didn't hit the crossbar.

 

[Sean Monahan]

im sure JG scored the goal of the tourney anyways

That is just filthy, and he went short side.

I'm pretty confident that he'll be in our opening night lineup come next year. I don't think this kid will ever play a game for the Heat.

I'm pretty sure no one will play a game for the Heat again.

Thanks for rubbing it in though

Oops, my bad!

 

[Ynnek]

The vision for that first assist is unreal.

 

[DCDM]

The hype is real.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Well. I am now 150% on the Gaudreau hype train. Not that I wasn't but that pass tho.

 

[WhereIsIt]

I don't think I've seen a pass at that angle, behind the back, through the other guy's skates before. That's like a Johnny Hockey Original.

 

[theIceWookie]

Johnny Hockey is just downright filthy.

 

[Anglesmith]

It's worth noting that this tournament contained the only two-game stretch where Johnny Gaudreau failed to record a point this entire year at any level. Boy's got some 'splaining to do.

Bust.

 

[Anglesmith]

Bust.

This is how it starts, yeah. First they go two games without a point, and if you aren't willing to step on that right away they go to three, then four, then 82. I hope Burke has had stern words with him already.

I mean, he's already at a disadvantage with his lack of truculence, and now he goes two games without a point? Just unacceptable. We should probably think about trading him while his value is still somewhat decent.

I think we should still get a 4th? 5th? for him. Move him now while they still think he is hot!
