GDT: 2019 World Championship

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Here's the Stecher goal

Super pumped for Stecher. Seems like he’s been getting rewarded with a bigger role on the team, and it’s great to see him contributing on the scoresheet. All fitting rewards for a guy that has to be one of the hardest working players to wear a Canucks jersey in recent times.

 

[VanJack]

Jared McCann is looking impressive on the bigger ice...and part of one of Team Canada's best lines.

Just have a feeling that the Canucks will live to regret dumping him in that ill-fated Gudbranson deal.

....will live to regret...? We've been regretting it since the day it happened.

 

[Wo Yorfat]

Holy ****, Ladislav Nagy is playing in this tournament, he's old as ****. That dude was mid-career during the Luongo-Turco playoff duel in 2007

If I saw that name on a roster, I would 100% expect that it's his kid.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

Another nice apple for Quinn.

 

[GetFocht]

Hughes is going to rack a ton of assists on Canucks, his passing is incredible. Only wish he starts focusing on his shot to get some goals.

 

[Star Ocean]

Was demko in net?

 

[GetFocht]

Was demko in net?

yes, he actually got the second assist

 

[GetFocht]

Quinn Hughes with 1A, +1, 4 Shots, and played over 19 minutes today.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

64 shots on net for the States in that game, holy hell.

Nice to see Demko get the win and Hughes keep up the strong play.

 

[VanJack]

After watching highlights of Quinn Hughes on the bigger ice, becoming more convinced that he and Cale Makar will be the leading candidates for the Calder next season.

Those kind of d=men are virtually priceless in today's NHL...so much offense now driven from the back-end.

For some reason Team Sweden had decided to use Pettersson as a winger which means less time with the puck, its also very stupid since he doesn’t get to dictate the flow of the game as much and because he’s the best natural center on the team. His predicted linemates for tomorrow is Landeskog and Lindholm so atleast that doesn’t suck.

He can pass a rocket tape to tape across the rink from any position eg his stick in tight to his feet.

I get the impression the coach doesnt like his game. Its not as rush based as other players.

He went from top line with Nylander to playing with whoever to wing but also taking some draws mostly in the d zone.

Yeah and I don’t really understand why. Sweden has always been a possesion team not a team that scores a ton of the counter attack.

Or because Pettersson just played the longest season of his career and was looking pretty gassed at the end of the year. Could just be giving the kid a break by not giving him the defensive responsibilities of playing center on the big ice.

 

[Star Ocean]

Pettersson looked great today

 

[GetFocht]

1G, 2A for Pettersson. Once again, he is putting up superb numbers right after his rookie season.

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Pettersson looked great today

Quite the difference from playing w. Hornqvist .

Today he was a winger on the landeskog - Lindholm line

 

[VanJack]

The World Championships could be a gold-mine of experience for Demko....really hoping he gets into the some of the big games coming up for the States.

 

[GetFocht]

Landeskog would be the perfect winger for Pettersson, hope he makes it free agency in two years.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Yes,good for him and QH to get in some additional games this season and play some competitive hockey in a fun environment.
Hopefully the US has a good tournament and heads home with a medal of some sorts.

 

[GetFocht]

The deke that Pettersson did on the second assist, he's on a different level than anyone else.

 

[The Poacher]

Quinn Hughes’s putting on a gap control clinic vs Germany today. The kid look outstanding on both sides of the puck. Can still get caught watching the puck carrier in the defensive zone but overall fantastic.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Glad to see all mighty Eriksson still gets the favouritism over Jesper Bratt during 5 on 5 and PP time over Nylander who has been the best Swedish player so far
