Prospect Info: WJC 2017: Caps Prospects (Samsonov, Riat, Siegenthaler)

[Hinterland]

Riat definitely impressed. The brass should be very pleased with what those 2 showed tonight. Both played like grown-@** men.

Now lets hope the US knocks out the last remaining Caps propspect -- 1-0 in a 12-round shoot-out...

Both finish the tournament with 1G,5A in 5 games. Solid.

Well, minus the 1st period the Swiss were all over the US boys...playing with about 5,5 forwards and 2,5 defenders. The US kids won because of Parsons and the Refs missing two calls in the 1st allowing the US to score a PP goal. If the US wanna beat the Russians, it's gonna take a lot more.

Enjoyed watching these two tonight...look like keepers.

 

[Sam Spade]

One can only hope Korn is still here when Samsonov makes the jump across the pond.

My first thought as well. I doubt he will be though as he was going to retire after Trotz' contract wasn't renewed in Nashville. Only Trotz begging him to stay has kept him around this long.

Poor kid looked destroyed. But helluva game from him, either way.

man what a game

 

[Calicaps]

Great game. I hate shootouts.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Shootouts to decide a semi-final game... awful.

 

[Caser]

Samsonov saved 38 out of 39 while being hurt in the end of the second, that was good enough for bronze.

 

[Hivemind]

Samsonov has the top goaltender award on lock down. Can't imagine anyone else winning it.

I admit I hated the pick when we made it but in a salary cap league 5-6 seasons of cheap A+ goaltending is looking nice

 

[g00n]

Holy **** this gold medal game!

 

[Hivemind]

As someone who owns Colin White and Thomas Chabot in a dynasty league, I like this.

 

[SimplySensational]

I turned it off at 4-2 and said if Canada loses this lead they're pathetic. Turned it on after the US scored their 3rd in time to see them tie it up...

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Awesome game.

 

[PuckBuddy]

You're the best, Bellows.
You're a ****ing superstar, Bellows.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

This is some awesome hockey.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

USA looks vulnerable at times but is taking it to Canada. Impressed.

IMO the USA dominated most of the 3rd and OT. Canada had some flurries and some PPs but the majority of the even strength play was dictated by the Americans.

Shootout incoming....

 

[Calicaps]

I hate that this will be decided on penalty shots.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

They just made America great again!

Haha!

Not impressed by Hart at all. Great game.
