Wait high sticking with blood is a major in international hockey?

 

[NyQuil]

Canada is really making Hofer sweat it out for the you know what

JINX!

JINX RIGHT HERE!

 

[NyQuil]

Foudy is such a gentleman.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

At least the boys are on the board..

The funny thing is MacT was a good coach for us got the Oilers to the Stanley Cup finals and he got a lot out of some poor rosters but he was an absolutely horrible GM though.

Yeah, it's his g.m role that haunts him, though he is starting to at least look a millimeter better after Chia.

I think.

 

[NyQuil]

Thanks!

4-1 ENer.

That’s a pretty accidental high stick on the follow-through.

Hard to fault the player on that one.

Fine with being responsible for your follow-through, but if the player is on his knees and the contact is at waist height I don't think so.

 

[DangerDave]

Good game. Germany is a good squad with a few surefire NHL bound players.

 

[snipes]

Stutzle is a fantastic player but he’s pretty light on his skates. He’ll need to get stronger but he’s young lots of time to get in the gym.

4-1 now that will wrap it up for Canada.

 

[NyQuil]

Solid performance.

Good goaltending.

I’ll take it.

 

[Eggtimer]

How have Bahl and Smith looked?
I haven’t read their names in posts so either lacklustre or maybe that’s good as they aren’t screwing up?

 

[Czechboy]

Goal differential could become important... the empty netter could hurt them.

 

[vippe]

Happy for Germany scoring a goal, they earned that.

 

[jj cale]

It's Czechs most likely going to relegation...

You have to hunker down and believe you can believe the U.S, I'll be cheering you guys on today.

Stay out of the penalty box!! but I suppose that just isn't possible at this tournament.

 

[NyQuil]

It would be kind of funny if Seider keeps his helmet on.

 

[Sens72]

Wohooo, gg guys.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Canada came out strong today and have been skating miles today. Hard for the Germans to keep up against a team with superior speed and skill.

They’ve had their chances though, this German team is a good team. They’ll crush whoever they get in the relegation games assuming they lose to Russia.

I don't disagree, but this is a pretty fast German team. We didn't see that today.

Both good. Bahl surprised me quite a bit. Didn't expect much but he's solid.

 

[NyQuil]

Happy for Germany scoring a goal, they earned that.

Plus it set up the ENer.

 

[jj cale]

Love watching the German powerplay... just quick pass after quick pass... shoot consistently. They've scored a pp goal in every game and they've all been nice. German's have been fun to watch this tourney.

Yup, it's been impressive.

 

[Vijo Morganstein]

I know it won't happen but Thomas is my Canadian player of the game. Fantastic work defensively and offensively from him, especially in the third.

 

[Realgud]

Stutzle is a fantastic player but he’s pretty light on his skates. He’ll need to get stronger but he’s young lots of time to get in the gym.

4-1 now that will wrap it up for Canada.

That's one of his few weaknesses, along with his shot maybe? He's so young, plenty of time to improve on these aspects. The guy is super talented and his determination is second to none.

 

[Czechboy]

You have to hunker down and believe you can believe the U.S, I'll be cheering you guys on today.

Stay out of the penalty box!! but I suppose that just isn't possible at this tournament.

No history of success and playing our backup. I'll definitely not miss a second of it though. We have a 'any given Sunday' chance.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

So why wasn't Hofer playing every minute prior to this game?

 

[jj cale]

Seider player of the game for Germany, don't think Ray will be happy with that.
