What’s up with those roller hockey jerseys USA are wearing?

Design from the olympics last year. I hate them.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Kaut reminds me of a smaller Blake Wheeler.

The huge shoulders, big frame, perceivingly “stiff” skating style. The same head tucked into the shoulders style too. The same quick, dynamic passing as well. Quick shooter. Everything with the hands and brain very quick.

That’s the closest comparable for me after observing him today.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Had no idea Tyler Madden existed. After drooling over him 15 minutes into the game and some research i found out he’s John’s son.

This kid looks skilled as hell and Johnny Selke is his old man? Consider him my new prospect crush.

 

[Pokecheque]

Oh God, is USA still wearing those gawdawful "wing" jerseys from the Olympics!? Guhhh....

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

This should be the only jersey USA ever wears

 

[Pokecheque]

I've always felt if you're gonna get experimental (like Nike does with NCAA football uniforms, especially Oregon) you should do so in the minors (AHL/ECHL). Not in international competitions.

 

[Piestany88]

Ruzicka best player on the ice in Czech / US game. .

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Beers are cracked, puck is down, Gord Miller’s voice is buzzing. Now it’s officially Christmas.

 

[BobRossColton]

Quinn Hughes is a pretty smooth skater..

 

[Piestany88]

Morgan Frost came to play

 

[Hennessy]

Just turned on the USA game, and yeah, those sweaters are awful.

 

[S E P H]

Yes or yes, Jason Robertson is the most underrated draft selected player right now in the prospect world? Holy smokes he is unbelievable.

It really pisses me off that all these teams in the Central are amazing drafters; Nash with Kondelik, Minny with Greenway, and now Robertson with the Stars.

Wheeler is a speedster though, even for his size. Kaut to me is like Jason Williams or a Anze Kopitar-lite. I honestly thought he was the best Czech player today, Necas is flashy AF, but also took two terrible penalties. Kaut was responsible at both ends of the ice, stick always making it tough for opposing teams, physical along the boards, and can get on the scoresheet. Fantastic jack-of-all trades player, but he needs to get faster and keep the puck longer. He is an absurdly good possession player, so I was surprised to see him get rid of the puck so fast.

E: Simply **** Apple's autocorrect.

He could probably help our PK more than Bork.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Bowers moving really well so far in this game.

 

[Piestany88]

He could probably help our PK more than Bork.

So he should be playing for Canada then

 

[The Kingslayer]

Bowers seems to always make the right play. I like.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Kaut has that Draisaitl speed. Hes no burner but hes not slow either.

A lot of his game reminds me of Draisaitl actually. Especially his weird hunch and enormous shoulder pads

 

[The Kingslayer]

So he should be playing for Canada then

Who Bork? He should be playing in the Spengler Cup.

 

[Piestany88]

Who Bork? He should be playing in the Spengler Cup.

Ugh no I meant Madden , Frost going for 4 goals . That was meant for Cousin Eddie and yeah Bork should be in the Spengler lol

 

[Murzu]

Wtf is this. Does hitting equal to automatic penalty now?

 

[UncleRisto]

Finland got two minors at the same time and one of them was for a hit.

 

[Murzu]

Finland got two minors at the same time and one of them was for a hit.

And then the refs miss the most obvious penalty of the game.

Wtf is going on here

 

[UncleRisto]

Eh gawd, Finland is short-handed without exception.

E: Actually, one of the teams is just mandated to be serving a penalty at all times.
