OT: IIHF 2019 World Championship (Eichel going)

[OkimLom]

interesting to see Bills coach McDermott behind Germany's bench...

 

[Chainshot]

Jack looks like he's picked up where he left off with Buffalo...

 

[OkimLom]

Eichel needs to find a pulse, just so pedestrian in these games.

 

[OkimLom]

Hanifin finds twine.

 

[Chainshot]

Hanifin ties it after a broken play where his initial shot was blocked.

He's out doing daisy curls again.

 

[OkimLom]

US sloppy play after a decent chance by Eichel. Goal 2-1 Germany

 

[Chainshot]

Kahun busting to the net, Seider finds him and it's 2-1. Yes, Jack had a nice slot chance before that and yes, his line was just scored upon.

 

[OkimLom]

Fox to the box.

PP for Germany

 

[Chainshot]

Jack on the PK2.

 

[Chainshot]

Second time Quinn Hughes gets caught and the US takes a penalty. First one was Fox, covering for QH being caught, this time it's QH himself taking the minor.

I see we won't be seeing a defense out of team USA today.

 

[OkimLom]

US could lose this game pretty easily. Goaltending is shaky, but is keeping them in it somehow.

 

[old kummelweck]

Nice crowd for the home team.

 

[OkimLom]

That 1st was a joke, with the talent on the team. US should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[Chainshot]

I wouldn't be surprised if they shuffle things around if they don't get some better puck retrieval. Kane-Eichel-Keller all look like they are expect someone to get them the puck in flight. None of them is doing the work to win pucks.

Most fun will be seeing Quinn and Jack Hughes on the ice together.

I’m going to truly enjoy how much Devils and Canucks fans will grow to hate watch other on this site as each fanbase puts stupid offers for the other Hughes brother on the trade board.

Watching the replay of the Kahun goal, Keller broke his ankles at both bluelines. Eek, with the lack of backcheck there, but Kane and Eichel aren't even in the frame.

Was watching Eichel on that, he made zero attempt to get back.

He's been "controller disconnected" mode most of the game. *sigh* One day, right? One day he'll want to be good the entire length of the ice and realize he has the wheels and physical strength to tear the puck from the opposition and turn it back up the ice for chances, right?

Jack Hughes is smooth out there.

We need a coach that will engage Jack. Someone to be on Jack at all times. Someone to push him to get his head clear and focused.

And he of course does the Jack special...Faceoff win pass to winger...

Yeah, I was just running him over in the WC Roster thread and he pulls his forward faceoff feed play out of his bag and they tie it.

 

[Chainshot]

A little better period for the US, a bit more engagement defensively. Still not keen on Jack coasting out there.
