OT: 2015 IIHF World Championships

[Summer Rose]

A few Coyotes will be playing. I can't find my source I found a couple days ago for the USA roster but I remember reading that Connor Murphy, John Moore, and Mark Arcobello are going to be on the roster. Martin Erat will be representing the Czech Republic and Tobias Rieder has confirmed for Germany. Lauri Korpikoski did not make it onto Finland's preliminary 27-man roster, and there's no news on Denmark yet but Mikkel Boedker is probably not ready to go yet, so I don't think he'll play. Oliver Ekman-Larsson will be playing for Sweden.

Also, Mike Smith is going to represent Canada.

I think its pretty telling that Korpi didn't make it on a Finnish roster. He's had a really poor two seasons, I remember when he was a legit 3rd liner.

I thought Korpi looked good in Sochi (2/2/4 6gp). Perhaps his absence has more to do with health.

OEL with the shootout winner in a crazy 6-5 SO win over the Czechs.

Sweet, bet it was a twisted wrister. Off to Google.

Can't find it, if anyone can please post it.

Awesome thanks, twisted wrister indeed.

Here's a longer one from the yotes website. http://video.coyotes.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=817810&lang=en&navid=DL|ARI|home

Classic Ollie, makes it look so easy and smooth.

Mike Smith's .940 sv% from February-April has carried over to the WHC. Nice.

Maybe his injury from the year before nagged him during the beginning of the season. Doesn't take much to throw a goalie off kilter.

It also might be worth watching Germany play, can see how Reider can carry an offence and be "the" guy

I've speculated that Smith wasn't completely healthy to begin with. But I'm not sure why he wouldn't have just admitted to that either. Regardless he better play like a 5.5 mil goalie next season.

Regardless he (Smith) better play like a 5.5 mil goalie next season.

Yes, please!

Doesn't he though? Yum.

Yes, good thought. With players like Boedker and Rieder coming along, I wonder if modest programs like the the Danes and Germans are improving.

Is there any way to watch these tilts live when yer "unplugged?"

I thought he was wearing #3?

Klingberg is wearing 3. I did however see an interview the other day where he said he's wearing number 23 to honor a former teammate in Tingsryd who passed away.

Rieder had the primary assist on Germany's first goal in their 2-1 victory over France. He also hit the post in the 3rd period. He played on the 1st line and he was Germany's best forward in this game.

Sweet thanks for the info.

Moore and Murphy playing together for USA. They look pretty good together....

Yeah, I kinda thought the same thing. Hm.

 

[AZviaNJ]

USA beats Russia 4-2. Arco (with a big goal), Moore with a huge block on Tarasenko (play of the game) and Murphy (solid) were key contributors!

How did Tik look?

 

[AZviaNJ]

How did Tik look?

only saw the final 10 minutes and not sure Tik saw the ice during that time. He was playing with Tarasenko on Russia's 4th line. Why is Tarsenko playing on the 4th line? That's a question Putin is probably asking right now. Russians looked disorganized and lacked any sort of chemistry.

 

[SweYote]

OEL with 2 more assists. He doesn't seem like he's taking these games seriously though. Playing so much more offense than he does in Arizona and he's being really sloppy with turnovers while trying to do too much. He looks like Yandle.

Who cares.

I only saw part of the game, but Moore was very solid.
