He's not pretty but devil-may-care bad boys are interesting.

2 goals for Forsberg with 15 min left of the 3rd period.

Forsberg now has 8 goals in 7 games at the tournament.

 

[NSH615]

Ekholm with a "Abuse of Official by Players/Team Officials" penalty.

Just wanted to say that I think FF sux. But Im sure that if your management would contact Detroits dito the DRW can find a way for you to get rid of him. As a friendly gesture.

Ha ha! Be careful what you ask for. GMDP might steal someone else from you.

"What was that? You want Marek Mazanec for Pavel Datsyuk and your next three first round picks?"

I can't watch the USA game this morning but have been following the little ticker on IIHF. Looks like there was something of a melee in the third period! Too bad Mattias Ekholm isn't on either team--he could "abuse the official" and make it a real donnybrook. :-D

 

[sparkle twin]

Ekholm with a "Abuse of Official by Players/Team Officials" penalty.

What did he do?

 

[NSH615]

What did he do?

I don't know, just saw it in the game log. I would saw mouthing off.

 

[jwhouk]

"Hey ref! If he was tellin' you how ####y your calls are, you DESERVE to run him from the game!"

 

[Tomas W]

What did he do?

He was a unhappy with an offside call, and yelled at the linesman. Sat 2min so no big deal.

 

[BonMorrison]

I love how much Ekholm runs his mouth.

He does it a lot, everytime there's a scrum, he's always chirping the other guy. Absolute beauty.

Looks like the quarterfinals start tomorrow. USA plays Switzerland. 15:15--I think that translates to 8:15 AM Central.

Other matchups are Canada-Belarus; Sweden-Russia; Finland-Czech Republic at various times during the day.

 

[bdub24]

delete wrong thread. Stupid smartphone

 

[mosare]

Amazing play and goal from josi to 1:0!!!!!

 

[chis]

Yep, what a stud!

Jones with an assist

 

[Filip Forceberg]

Sweet dangle by Josi.

 

[Adz]

USA USA! Good job!

Roman, rest up for fall--you did good work.

I think we are way over thinking this Weber/Jones/Pekka deal. We had the top team in the NHL for 3/4 of the year. Why change it? Yes, we need help, but don't deal one of our best players to do it. Fiala/Victor/Moses will help next year. Smith or Wilson can move back to C. I agree that we probably need to deal one of our top 5 dman. Why not one of Ellis or Ekholm? Jones on the 2nd line is probably best for him. Id prefer to move Ekholm. Jones wont be an UFA for a few years. Why not keep all 3? A dman plus prospect can fetch a solid center or right handed winger. We don't need to over think this. Don't go crazy because we couldn't score a goal in 5 OT periods.

He was a +1 in a 3-1 loss ... yeah I hate that stat too, but that's pretty impressive.

That isn't happening ... who'll play on the off hand on the second pair behind Josi ? ... Makes no sense at all... you deal from perceived strength ... (Weber, Jones, Ellis, etc)

he is just an amazing player!!!

Then you trade Ellis. He might be more valuable than Ekholm anyway. No need to trade one of the top 3 if we are not desperate to. I don't think we are. If we can score 1 overtime goal, we might be in the western finals right now.
