oh you're right

Tre Kronors preliminära trupp till ishockey-VM 10-26 maj 2019

 

[FinnishDevil]

Finns have their worst roster in like 20 years, so we're probably gonna make it to the final or something.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Is the game tomorrow televised?

 

[GameSeven]

Is the game tomorrow televised?

I don't believe so. First games scheduled on NHL Network appear to be on Friday.

 

[Nubmer6]

Is the game tomorrow televised?

There's info for a live stream on TeamUSA's site, I believe.

2019 IIHF Men's World Championship

 

[Emperoreddy]

did they say who was in net tomorrow?

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

You guys think Hughes will get more ice-time than normal in today's game since it's just an exhibition game?

 

[Devils731]

did they say who was in net tomorrow?

Looks like Schneider.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

JVR-Hughes-DeBrincat sounds awesome. Hopefully he has similar chemistry to what he had with Caufield.

I don’t see why not. Caufield isn’t the only guy able to bury good passes.

It's a team full of men. The championship is theirs.

 

[MartyOwns]

i haven’t seen this tournament in a while, do they still put phone books on the bench so debrincat and hughes can see the ice in between shifts?

 

[GeNeXt]

Caufield draws comparisons to Debrincat, so they should work well together theoretically. JvR adds size to that line.

[PKs Broken Stick]

Interesting that Hughes is getting 2nd line on the men's team.

 

[Call Me Al]

was also surprised, let's see how it goes for him but that could help pad some stats

 

[MartyOwns]

do they do postgame interviews for these? curious to hear from hughes’ linemates and coaching staff about his performance

 

[OmNomNom]

"no fair, JvR and DeBrincat are both elite talents! Kakko has no one on his team, let alone his line!"

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

DeBrincat is really small so some people might not think of him as "one of the men" tbh

poor Hughesy

 

[Ripshot 43]

I see Hughes at 17 is already a 2nd line Center on a team filled with men

 

[Missionhockey]

Interesting that Hughes is getting 2nd line on the men's team.

I was surprised that he got that role over Larkin for sure. Might not mean much though, both 2/3 lines have some heavy firepower.

 

[Japam]

Between "having to see where his head was at" before deciding to join AND being put on the second line, it's clear he doesn't have the heart, head, or body to be an NHL player. Hard pass.
