Regulation win is 3 points. A win with extra time is only 2 points.

Ah, was afraid of that. thanks

Virtanen night and day difference from the start to end of the game. He needs to keep that intensity up against the Swedes

I was never a fan of Gauthier, and I'm still not, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed with him this tournament.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

"Virtanen shoots well wide"... yerp.

 

[PM]

So what happens if we lose? I honestly have no idea.

 

[VC]

Gauthier looks like a dangerous player.

 

[biturbo19]

Man, Canada has a lot of players who seem content to just dipsy-doodle around the perimeter with the puck for minutes on end.

 

[CanaFan]

Gauthier looks like a 6'4 draft-year Virtanen out there. Tempting draft option but comes with same risks too.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Any hope Denmark beats Sweden tomorrow?

 

[Evolu7ion]

Lol @ the Bruins for missing out on Barzal with their three mid first rounders last year. I can just see it now - "he doesn't play the Bruins way".

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Virtanen is garbage cause he took a slap shot from the point and missed the net.
Why did I even go to the main board...

Yep.

Add me to the list of being impressed with Gauthier. Not common a draft eligible talent shines at this tourney without being a top 3 projection.

 

[y2kcanucks]

I'd go with Marner, Strome, Barzal (just like Ferraro) in the shootout.

 

[Hodgy]

Really impressed with Gauthier. Looks like a top ten pick.

 

[Zombotron]

staying aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive

 

[Evolu7ion]

Barzal, Strome, Marner in that order.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Yep.

He's probably the only one from our bottom 6 who I've liked today. Nobody has played well.

I don't see why passing on Barzy for that reason is a bad thing. You should trust the Bruins. They were also correct about Seguin.

On the plus side Virtanen has been shooting more... on the down side he's had 5 or 6 clear misses in this game.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Strome shot stopped

 

[y2kcanucks]

Did not like how Strome went so far out.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Beauty Blackwood!

 

[thepuckmonster]

Good save Blackwood

 

[y2kcanucks]

That shot was right on Point!

 

[thepuckmonster]

Yeah Point!
