WC: 2019 US Roster Discussion Part II

[William H Bonney]

Schneider has been huge on these last couple of shifts as Russia is pushing back hard. Even more importantly, he's swallowing rebounds or clearing them away unlike in the first.

Eichel crushing guys out there lol!!

I think on the first goal he didn’t swallow it because he couldn’t see it. Two players tied up at top of crease.

Vasilevksy is going to be able to draw Glendening's ass by memory after this game.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

US has the cycle going.

It certainly contributed but it hit him square. You have to swallow that.

lol, yep - we bitched about him here, but at least he is showing up and playing that nasty pest role.

 

[Chainshot]

Keller shot a puck!

 

[AmericanDream]

Gaudreau will never play here again...just can't score at this tourney/injuries and slashes he takes..

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Johnny snakebit. He has to bury some. All kinds of good looks.

 

[AmericanDream]

much much better play - this is the game we were hoping for..just SHOW UP, we can deal with a loss but at least show the heart we know they have...

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Eichel crushing guys out there lol!!

He has been a monster.

 

[William H Bonney]

lol, yep - we *****ed about him here, but at least he is showing up and playing that nasty pest role.

I think too many folks have been unfair to Glendening because they've been rightfully frustrated with Blashill. He's been good on the PK and he's played 4th line minutes. He's not getting favorable minutes despite some of the claims and he's been one of our only forwards that's been consistently physical. He's played his role as you'd expect. His play, and his usage, has been the least of our worries.

 

[SK94]

Oh boy. So many missed opportunities. Some lucky breaks too. Specailly where Ovie missed almost empty net. Schneider is giving us a chance right now. Least we can't complain that guys are lazy. Good effort.

Yep. If they would have showed up like this in the preliminary round, they would have had a much more favorable matchup today. But when they show up like they did in this period, they can beat anyone, including Russia.

Hopefully they come out in the 3rd like that. If they can tie this up, the pressure is going to be overwhelming for Russia in a way it'll never be for us.

 

[William H Bonney]

Keller with the turnover. It's impressive how often we screw ourselves.

That's how you pass on a 2-on-1.

 

[AmericanDream]

we are back to everything being shot into legs - we are just delayed on everything again...

 

[AmericanDream]

NOAH!!!!!

 

[William H Bonney]

There we go! Great play by Jack Hughes. We're back in it. Bar down by Hanifin.

 

[SK94]

Great play from Hughes.

 

[AmericanDream]

Jack Hughes - not sure you can play against men lol...hahahah...lol...hahaha....

 

[AmericanDream]

dammit...we just can't help ourselves..

 

[William H Bonney]

It's amazing how often we don't make the right read defensively, even Suter. The lack of chemistry on the pairings, exacerbated by no RHD, is evident.

And of course it had to be JVR on the backcheck. Probably the only guy on the team that can't catch a guy like Grigorenko.

I am not blaming Suter, but damn he is on the ice a ton and I believe on the ice for all the goals against..

 

[AmericanDream]

Kane keeps flubbing chances..
