Maybe he just likes bigger ice. Claustrophobia?
From what I saw from Moore at the end of the season I would have expected his weaknesses and gaffes to be exploited on the big sheet.
No big sheet around here though!
Kind of makes you wonder how much of his play was because of coaching. He has looked great from what I've seen of IIHF. Maybe they were trying to force Yandle's role onto him? Maybe Playfair is just stubborn and wont adjust to rangy types of players. Tippett and Maloney had high praises for him in the exit interviews, yet said nothing about Gormely.
Funny we have Moore and Murphy on team USA and everyone in the WC discussion is praising the defense of team USA. Like I said all season, our defense wasn't the issue, it was our lack of any kind of sustained pressure that screwed over our defense.
Also, seeing Eichel kills me. I can't believe how ****ed we got in the lottery. He is really damn good defensively as well. DT would have gushed over him.

You are 100% correct. There is much more to icing a strong defensive team than having good defensemen.

Rieder was named best player for Germany against Sweden today.
He played really well and seemed to create something offensively every other shift, which with this Germany team is quite impressive. He never seems to take a shift off, which makes him fun to watch.

I think this WC will be super good for him. It lets him be the main offensive driver of a team, hopefully he learns from the experience and brings it to the team next year and breaks out offensively
Also, OEL played 27min against Germany while nobody else broke 20

Rieder with a beautiful defensive play and assist just now against Czech Republic.
First he stole the puck from Voracek and then went off to the races. He fed a nice little pass to Michael Wolf on the 2-on-1, who put it into the back of the net.
