Button is so annoying to listen to honestly. I've really soured on him over the last year or so.

I must be getting old

If you've only soured on him over the last year or so you're not old enough.

Caufield again, ties Ovechkin’s record 2-1 USA.

Chistyakov from the point ties the game.

Was the player who got the assist called "Gritsyuk"? He's getting drafted to NA for sure.

You spelled Flyers wrong.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Zegras with a beauty rush.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

We're headed to OT. This should be good.

Exactly.

 

[Joey Moss]

I'm really liking Zegras at 8. Hope we get him.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Spencer Knight...

I mean I'm not canadian so I don't hear him nearly as much/often as you guys do.

 

[Joey Moss]

I can't believe they didn't tee up Caufield there he was wide open

I don't know why Hughes kept shooting.

I don't know why Hughes kept shooting.

Because he’s the big man on campus. Reminds me of Tavares and Eberle in the WJC. No emphasis on setting up an excellent shooter in scoring position, just letting the big man go for it.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Askarov is such a Talent 2020 Is looking like it’s going to be a special year for prospects.

 

[Joey Moss]

Props to Russia's goalie.. that kid is going to be a 1st rounder.

 

[dustrock]

No point in cleaning the ice hey

Honestly the gripe I have with Hughes is this. He really doesn’t seem to utilize his teammates as well as he should.

What? The guy basically made Caufield what he is. Caufield is good in his own right but without Jack Hughes he’s dosen’t go top15

No denying Hughes is a good play maker. But I’ve seen him make questionable decisions when better options are available.

Canada vs Sweden in 45 minutes. PM me and I'll give you a stream.

You could say the same thing about McDavid, there such similar players, and 90% of the time they are the best option, I’d rather have the puck on Hughes stick at the end of the game than forcing a pass over to Caufield who had allready missed that same shot 3 times this game.

Russians were leaving him open and focusing on Hughes. Who had all the goals in this game? Let him take a shot.

Also, while we’re criticizing the Americans, would anyone else here have pulled the goalie In the final 45 seconds with offensive zone face off to get all of USA elite players on the ice for a 5 on 3? Given the Russian goaltending, shootout was risky.

Stylistically sure, but I don’t think Hughes is as close to the talent that mcdavid is. But I see your point.

Caufield again, ties Ovechkin’s record 2-1 USA.

Very curious to see where Caufield goes. There's usually a team in the top 7 or 8 that reaches a little for a player that's had a strong finish to the year. Last year it was Kotkaniemi, this year it could very easily be Caufield.

I don't see him going at 4, but having him slot in on the Avs second line could give them some dynamite scoring depth if he hits his potential.
