OT: IIHF 2019 World Championship (Eichel going)

[joshjull]

If you’re looking this long you’re trying to find a reason.

Reino throws the perfect cross crease pass through traffic to Couts and he wiffs on the shot. Should have been 2-2. Reino is out there every other shift now. Nice show of faith from AV

 

[joshjull]

Good thing they sat him vs Canada.

Linesmen making some interesting calls

 

[Moskau]

Eichel has been terrible at faceoffs all tournament.

 

[Slangston]

Freaking Canada, man lol.

 

[Goathead]

Canada scores with .4 seconds left to tie the game.

Even the linesmen are out to get JvR. He... just...

And the Canadians tie it with 0.4 seconds left. Wow.

 

[Fjordy]

Yeah this is win. Telegin was not bad, at least it hat speed and it was physical. I don't understand why Blashill always put JVR with Jack, he's terrible.

 

[Fjordy]

Stone 3:2 in OT

 

[Mattilaus]

Nothing like a little adversity to get the juices flowing.

 

[Chainshot]

That's lore that will live on long into the future. What an amazing turn of events.

 

[old kummelweck]

Shit. I missed the game. Friggin work....

 

[joshjull]

f*** Canada. That is all.

 

[Chainshot]

So... the more of this tournament I watch, the more I wonder at where the best Irish player of our age signs. Greg O'Renko should be getting courted for sure by someone.

 

[flashsabre]

**** Canada. That is all.

**** YEAH Canada!!!!!!!!!!! THAT is all!!

 

[old kummelweck]

Eichel seems to LOVE the point-per-game mark. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in his tournament. This should have been the type of environment he should have dominated from start to finish.

I mentioned before taking a look at him here. At least see what he has in training camp. 25, more matured, had a heck of a season in the KHL and was Finals MVP. Has looked pretty good at the Worlds.

 

[Fjordy]

Grigorrrrrr

 

[joshjull]

That O’Renko cat had a good game.

 

[joshjull]

I was impressed we gave Russsia as much of a game as we did. I expected to get steamrolled with the game over by the end of the 1st.

How does it work with his rights as it pertains to Colorado? Is he free and clear?

Yeah, I hate to admit that there is appeal there. Like... hold me, I'm scared but the guy has looked like a complete player in both the KHL playoff games and now in the WC's. Just... wow.

And Gusev? Vegas is going to get all sorts of cheap depth scoring out of that guy next year, especially if he continues to be fired by the miscommunication with Tampa about him being an AHL player. He's going to feast considering the other line matchups are going to draw so much more attention.

Back to the WC's for a moment, I do feel for the Swiss. This is such a heartbreaker and they were so close.

With our defense, it's impossible, they like a clowns drag the puck in their zone and lose it, instead of just throwing it away her.

Funny that execution of 2-on-1's would be the difference in the game, looking at the sort of puck talent the US can put on the ice.
