GDT: 2019 IIHF World Championship IV - Knockout round (OP Warning)

[devilsblood]

Apparently he played 4:33 in the first. An improvement but I could still see them tapping him out at ten minutes for the night and double shifting Eichel late in a close game.

Had that shift where he streaked in and had a shot on net, and was back on the ice not long after, feel they may be willing to go to him more often if he is going to look this good.

If we somehow get a lead he definitely gets nailed to the bench.

That last shift might cost him though. Couple iffy decisions there.

Hey maybe we should shoot on the 2 on 1s

 

[Bcap88]

Lol team USA to finesse on the 2 on 1’s

 

[Bcap88]

eichel has been Shit weak wrister from the outside of the circle for 2 periods

 

[Bcap88]

Schneider been good

 

[devilsblood]

Very nice read there. And I feel that is the strength of Hughes defensive game.

 

[Scooooooooooooot]

Hughes good couple defensive plays there

 

[vtdevils2k]

These commentators are loving Jack Hughes game today. Huge praise, even for his defensive reads

 

[zharkenby]

Great defensive play and draws a penalty.. good shift in his own end!

 

[Davegarri]

Hes been good all tournament behind a crap defensive team. I like what I have been seeing from him since January.

Wonder if it's a style of play thing? Russia is playing a talent game, which allows our guys to play a talent game?

I dunno haven't watched enough of the tourney.

Could be possible, They play a very open game so not a ton of structure. Allows both teams to take advantage of breakdowns or quick changes of possessions.

I was joshing, you knuckleheads.

 

[devilsblood]

Like that hit by Eichel. Playing like this game matters.

Thought that hit by Glendening was a bit of a tone setter.

 

[devilsblood]

dang, thought that was tie game there.

 

[devilsblood]

Gaudreau flipped the script, great period by him.

Real fun period to watch.
