GDT: The 2019 IIHF World Men Championships

[Ivan13]

And this is why I wish all these guys would just stay home and healthy instead of going to silly tournaments like the IIHF.

And people wonder why I don't want our players playing there.

 

[LOFIN]

It took 1 minute 9 seconds for Gabe to score his first of the tournament.

 

[Spender]

3 pt debut for Landeskog, looked really great together with EP40.

 

[UncleRisto]

Whaddya know, Finland sleepwalking as the favorite.

 

[UncleRisto]

Kakko with the solo effort to tie it. Shoot me with a bow and arrow.

[AvsWraith]

Uh... If Landy is not injured, then I'm really pissed...

He looked like a god damn zombie in most of the games against the Sharks. WTF?

 

[AvsRobin]

He didn't.

If he wasn't shooting at 7%, there wouldn't have been any talk of him being injured.

 

[henchman21]

He didn't.

If he wasn't shooting at 7%, there wouldn't have been any talk of him being injured.

The talk of an injury simply stems from him being out 4-6 weeks at diagnosis and returning in 3 to help push the team into the playoffs. He certainly wasn't 100%, but was good enough to play.

 

[Foppa2118]

Landy clearly wasn't playing the same way either. Much more passive than you would expect playoff Landy to be.

 

[Foppa2118]

Another beautful Forsberg style goal by Kakko. He clearly watched him a bunch growing up. He makes so many plays and scores so many goals like him.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

And Kakko's speed is not as bad as some were making it out to be. He is not Mack fast but he has plenty of speed.

 

[UncleRisto]

Pesonen tipped in Kakko's shot off the rush. Why does this have to keep happening?

Because we got Roy for a steal.

 

[Murzu]

Kakko is amazing and he will be amazing in the NHL. Hughes better be super duper amazing considering people are saying that it's not close between them...

 

[AvsWraith]

Please stop posting this Kakko stuff. It's just too much heartbreak...

Just kidding, but not really.

 

[UncleRisto]

Third-stringer Olkinuora in net for Finland today against Great Britain. I see how it is.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

LOL at the Hughes is clearly the superior prospect narrative

 

[UncleRisto]

Defenseman Christian Bull scored two goals for Norway today. No goals in that game for Austrian forward Jew... well, no, you can't really have an animal word with that...

Forgot Jussi existed!! I have a game worn jersey of his in my basement somewhere. Of course when I say game worn I mean he wore it during warm up and on the bench as a backup lol.

I enjoyed watching him at DU for a couple years. Go Pios!

Oh yeah, I knew he played in college but I didn't realize it was DU too. Lots of connections here, apparently. He played for my hometown team for a couple of years. Had a real good run in Finland and going to the KHL now.

Good for him. He seemed like a good guy from his time in NL but I never knew him personally at all.

Superstar Andrighetto scores a goal. Destroying at Skoda Cup = superstardom.

I can't wait to see how many points he'll end up with, so we'll know if he's still a viable top-sixer for the Avs or not.
