Also can't believe the Sens passed up on so many guys to take Sanderson so high

Believe it Sanderson is going to be stud. Don't be jealous.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Boldy was having a good shift, and then he ruined it with a 1 handed back hand pass

 

[Asinine]

WTF are these rec league warmup shots that the US continues to throw at Askarov? Like, what was the point of that Sanderson shot?

They haven't been given any good looks. It's what happens when you get shut down. Just start throwing shit to the net and hope a bounce goes your way.

 

[Fatass]

I’d like to see a US line with Boldy, Turcott, and Caufield.

 

[Gravity]

I don't see any way that Boldy is not a top 6 winger. Solid on PP,PK and incredible motor 5v5.

 

[Ginger Papa]

So close by Brisson

 

[Big Empty]

Boldy has

He hasn't but Boldy looks good. Ever since the second half of his season last year, he's been on a big upswing. Think he'll be a good player for Minny.

 

[ItWasJustified]

I don't understand the hate that guy gets... Great power winger. Fantastic on the boards . Strong and he can make plays around the net. I'll take him on my team any day

They said on Swedish television that the rumour in the catacombs is that he's got a minor injury that is playable.

 

[Sean Garrity]

York had another one a few minutes ago. Americans actually were sustaining pressure for a shift. Puck came to him and lofts a wrist shot for an easy whistle for really no reason.

Yup, it wasn't the end of the shift, and Sanderson (just using the most recent example) was on the ice with the "top line". That's a shot that you take at the end of a shift, if you're on the ice with the 4th line, or if you're a bottom 6/defensive defenseman. I think that shows just where the heads of the US players are at.

 

[jj cale]

Crossbar, just nothing going right.

10th overall pick that struggles to produce offense on the wing? Not sure what is hard to understand about that.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Boldy has pretty clearly been the best player in my bias eyes. I will say that Caufield has definitely been the most dangerous. I think Boldy, Beniers, Caufield, and Brink have been the only good forwards.

 

[SI90]

Just no life for team USA. Really disappointing. Conversely, the Russians look awesome.

[HugoSimon]

the americans are making so many bad passes

They look so pathetic and desperate. They should of just accepted this game would be a loss and try to save their egos.

 

[The Burdened]

crossbar for the Americans.
wasn't from Caufield and he wasn't on the ice even, but his drive is phenomenal and his influence on the play immeasurable

 

[Sean Garrity]

They haven't been given any good looks. It's what happens when you get shut down. Just start throwing shit to the net and hope a bounce goes your way.

I mean sure, but then you throw that shot in to the goalies pads and make him kick it out to create a rebound. Not flub a wrist shot to his glove hand side, short side, from below the dots while you have the most skilled players on your team on the ice.

 

[Stive Morgan]

U.S. needed that one. Unlucky.

 

[SI90]

Boldy has pretty clearly been the best player in my bias eyes. I will say that Caufield has definitely been the most dangerous. I think Boldy, Beniers, Caufield, and Brink have been the only good forwards.

I’d say definitely Beniers and Boldy.


Team USA needs more players with the initials MB

 

[SoundAndFury]

Wow I didn't realise at first how much empty net Brisson had to shoot at there. Askarov might want to fix that down the road.

 

[tictactoe]

Bardakov has serious skill

 

[ORRFForever]

Dear Team U.S.A. :

The Russians are embarrassing you. Come on. Get a goal!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

This Russian team is impressive.

 

[Hinterland]

Don't know. Askarov doesn't really convince me. Made a few terrific saves but doesn't really look sharp or calm overall. Constantly overcommitting and losing track of the puck. Americans should keep shooting.

 

[snipes]

Russia carrying the play right now
