GDT: 2018 World Championship

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Austin Levi is even weirder in this respect. Born in Ohio, moves to Michigan then plays in the OHL there for Plymouth, plays pro for both Florida and Stockton (ECHL), also has a stint in Charlotte (AHL), retires from pro hockey, then goes to play Canadian college hockey at University of Prince Edward Island (QMJHL territory).

When he goes onto become MVP of some obscure European league after university then finds his way back to the Hurricanes in the NHL, what a story that will be.

Today I learned Canadian colleges don’t have an absurd “amateur” rule.

Have any former NHLers ever put together a 10-year career, gone back to get a degree, and just shredded that school’s scoring records?

I think this means Aho named an Alternate Captain? Calling our Finnish overloards to confirm.

According to the little translate button on that tweet, he is a "deputy captain", so no, not an alternate captain.

 

[Lempo]

Tecnhically it says "spare captain". Or maybe "vice captain". But, A letter.

Apparently we like them young nowadays.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I heard Dundon is going to stick with this unconventional way of naming captains. The "Captain" will have an H on his jersey, for "Highest Boss" and the Alternates will have a "D" for deputy captain.

Oh World Championship, can't wait to get spanked by bigger hockey countries, especially with a roster we are going this year.

Are you are speaking about the United States Of America? How come you don't have faith in Derek Ryan & Scott Darling? They're bound to lead the US to victory.....

I think he's speaking about the country he is from, Latvia.

Oh man. Get ready Flames fans. New dynamic duo playing against Peters today.

 

[Lempo]

I can't wait to see what player they play with and produce well that everyone wants to acquire ignoring that they've produced well in the NHL without this player.

The answer: Veli-Matti Savinainen. Kunlun Red Star 2018-19.

[Joe McGrath]

Peters led tean outshooting team 31 - 11. Tied at 4. Sounds about right.

Edit: Shootout loss. Won’t somebody please make a f***ing save for this poor guy?

Canada completely controlled OT, which meant they were destined for a shootout loss. It is Peters, after all.

The road to sudden death stage will likely muddle lines once again so clay woman is not certain yet. I do not know if coaching takes this process in mind by beginning with worse combinations than they might imagine in order to have their preferred units kept in secret till the judgment day.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Will try to watch some of Finland and Czech Republic today.

 

[GoldiFox]

I just saw NHL Network says it is showing France-Belarus at 10:00. Surely this is a mistake? Are all the games streaming on IIHF website?

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Aho just scored a shorthanded goal, assist from Teuvo. 1-0 Finland early.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

And there Teuvo scored in the same shorty (4 min penalty), assist from Aho. What a start.

 

[GoldiFox]

It’s killing me. Why the hell is France/Belgium on NHL network.

Ok now the stream is up on IIHF website - and blocked.

It's streaming on IIHF, only in certain countries. Not USA, unfortunately. Course there's ways around that.

 

[The Faulker 27]

Aho looks like Neo out there.

 

[vorbis]

yeah Finland - Korea blocked in Canuckistan as well

 

[Lempo]

Who got the WHC broadcasting rights in US and Canada?
