Caps prospects WJC watch [mod warning post #9]

[Dr John Carlson]

As a Canadian, I thoroughly enjoy seeing Canada getting thrashed at the WJCs.

The TSN feed during at Canadian WJC loss is almost as gratifying as Errey and Steigy during a Pens collapse.

Even when they win, Ferraro rips all those kids apart.

Russians win in OT. They were thoroughly dominant.

Anyone know why the Finland/Canada game isn't on NHLN as advertised? They're showing a repeat of the Russia game.

 

[SimplySensational]

Strome turns instead of taking a hit, goes to locker room... Oh its only 2 minutes? Back on bench 10 seconds after going back to the locker room.

 

[Chukcha]

Wow, Russia barely won. Canada lost. Insane quarterfinals.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Switzerland is done, the Czechs are about to be done, and Samsonov probably won't see the ice for the remainder of the tournament barring Georgiev being pulled at some point. Didn't get to see much of the Caps' prospects.

 

[Cush]

Haven't been paying attention this year, but Canada losing is always nice.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Czechs pull Vitek after he lets in 2 goals in the first period to a very good USA team? Am I reading that right? Then the backup lets in 5 goals. Pretty dumb move by the Czech coach if so

 

[Caser]

Samsonov is confirmed to start in the semifinal today.

 

[Carlzner]

Sweet!

 

[strungout]

Big spot.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Hoping for a 1-0 USA win with Samsonov getting 50 saves.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Interesting that Bragin went to Samsonov despite only playing one game (and that was against Belarus...). Gonna be a good game.

 

[Raikkonen]

Lets go Caps!

 

[Acallabeth]

Samsonov had 2 pretty scary collisions with NA players in the 1st period.

 

[Chukcha]

awful capitalization for Russia. Full 2 min 5-on-3 should be converted into one goal at least.

 

[strungout]

Look at the Russians with the dirty goal.

 

[strungout]

2-1 Russians.

US looks a bit tired after that blazing first.

 

[895]

Samsonov's only given up 1 goal (that he had no chance on) and he's made some great saves but he goes down way too early. Feel like he will definitely give up another before the game is up.

 

[Raikkonen]

Caps win. Doesn't count. Next.

 

[Langway]

Samsonov (hopefully) vs. Puljujarvi/Laine for Gold. Nice.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Samsonov was very good, he has an unorthodox style. He's like the opposite of Holtby in net.

could you elaborate more on this?

 

[Acallabeth]

I don't know if I'd call it an unorthodox style or a pure lack of school.
