2015 IIHF World Championship: May 1-17 in Czech Republic (Eichel, Ennis)

[Jim Bob]

God team USA is awful.

I wonder if Miller or Anderson might go to shore up Team USA in goal?

There are a bunch of guys that were eliminated over the past few days that would be upgrades, too.

 

[Sabre the Win]

God team USA is awful.

Don't worry, Canada has the most questionable goaltending. If there's a kink in the armor for Canada to lose its going to be due to the goaltending. Martin Jones is laughable and Mike Smith is a tool.

Canada doesn't make great goalies, the talent all goes to the forward position. However there are exceptions by Price being one and maybe Luongo but I don't catagorize him as anything more than good.

 

[Presten]

Let me know if any of you are going and would like to go for a beer and talk hockey while in town

Programming Alert: Set the DVRs because NBCSN is televising all of Team USA's games. Lots of chances to see Eichel against NHL veterans:

How the hell did Risto get cut from Finland? Was he brutal in a pre-tourney game or something.

Wanted to watch him vs Eichel on Friday.

He didn't have the greatest pre-tourney games, but all the Finnish fans are mad he got cut.

Canada should easily win this

Ennis is gonna have fun with those forwards on Canada. USA's team looks so weak up front as always but it's fun rooting for those guys every year. Last year Gaudreau was the guy to watch and it was a blast. This year that guy is our guy!

Can't wait to see the USA killing us. woohoo

Can't wait to see the USA killing us. woohoo

I know the USA roster is depressing, but I haven't looked at Austria's yet. Who do you guys have? Raffl and Starkbaum?

You guys have Crosby and Ennis. You won't lose

 

[CatsforReinhart]

I live in Germany. Thank god I dont have to stay up until 4am to watch a hockey game.

I like Ennis but those to guys group together in a sentence is comical.

 

[stokes84]

Ennis on a line with Giroux and Seguin. Not bad.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Auston Mathews joining the US team?

 

[Woodhouse]

 

[stokes84]

What happened to Cody Eakin? Cut?

 

[joshjull]

Ennis on a line with Giroux and Seguin. Not bad.

I just read about that. Awesome for Ennis.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Any news on US lines?

 

[sjci]

When's the last time a double underage (drafts year wise) player made a WC team?

 

[Paxon]

Canada has an extra forward that would play on our top line quite handily

 

[sjci]

Matteau - Hendricks - Lewis
Smith - Arcobello - Morin
Vesey - Eichel - Moses
Matthews - Larkin - Sexton

Krug - Faulk
Reilly - Murphy
Moore - Redmond
Gardiner

Hellebuyck
Lyon

 

[Bps21*]

I think I could crack that lineup

 

[Paxon]

Matteau - Hendricks - Lewis
Smith - Arcobello - Morin
Vesey - Eichel - Moses
Matthews - Larkin - Sexton

Krug - Faulk
Reilly - Murphy
Moore - Redmond
Gardiner

Hellebuyck
Lyon

That feeling when our future saviour isn't even the best saviour on the third line of a USA WC team.
