WJC QF: Jan 2 GDT - Finland 3 vs. USA 6

[David McConnor]

I hope this ask Waddel why he traded Jack Johnson.

?

 

[Caper]

JJ was traded by Carolina not ATL

 

[Panopticon]

1min left of first period, PP time and what does Tolvanen do, puts in freaking 2nd PP line. WAKE UP TOLVANEN!

He's even mixed them up now. Laakso played with Kurki behind Komarov's line. What the hell is the point of that? Lindgren-line +Laakso was probably the deadliest PP of the tournament. Why break that up?

 

[Kaktus*]

Finland will have 1 min PP in 2nd with better ice.. From what I hear they created some good chances on their 1st PP.

 

[GKJ]

I hope they ask Waddel why he traded Jack Johnson. Waddel says that three players on the USA team are top prospects, then they don´t ask which three. That infuriates me.

Don Waddell didn't trade JMFJ, Jim Rutherford did

My bad. I thought Waddel was Carolina´s GM.

JJ was traded because he wouldn't sign with Carolina. They wanted him to play in the American League, and he refused to leave UM, felt he needed more time at the collegiate level.

He got moved to LA, who is more than happy to let him develop and bring him to the pros when his eligibility is finished.

When his eligibility is finished? Okay, now you´re the one who is wrong. No NHL team is going to leave a top-3 draft pick in college for four year.

And you call yourself a hockeyfan...

If JJ wants to stay in college for 4 years.......no NHL team can make him come out.

 

[Panopticon]

I can't believe the stupid passes the Finns make in their own zone. They deserve to lose this game, even if they're otherwise playing one of their better games.

 

[Kaktus*]

Kane scored. 2:0 USA

 

[Joretus]

2-0, Joensuu shows why I really don't like him at all. Great play 2nd line.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Sweet, 2-0 US.

 

[DisplacedIslander]

Okie feeds Kane....2-0 USA

 

[Checker*]

Kane is really making a case for himself in the draft.

 

[execwrite]

Patrick Kane scores high on the rebound - 2-0 USA.

 

[Jussi]

Yeah, our 2nd line sure is looking good... 2-0 Yanks.

 

[Panopticon]

Now Laakso is looking like he's avoiding penalties... not playing like himself at all (maybe a good thing, maybe not...)

 

[Panopticon]

Leinonen's been looking better in this game. Playing better physically at least.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Woooo USA! Kane is nasty!

 

[Roger's Pancreas*]

When his eligibility is finished? Okay, now you´re the one who is wrong. No NHL team is going to leave a top-3 draft pick in college for four year.

Look at the top six of the Kings: Mattias Norstrom, Lubomir Visnovsky, Rob Blake, Aaron Miller, Brent Sopel, and Oleg Tverdovsky. They can afford to ease Johnson into the game.

 

[Kaktus*]

FRAZEE, Jeff is NJD project? Right?

Finland scored... 2:1

 

[Joretus]

Poor PP, but Jesse scores with luck, 2-1!

 

[hifk88]

Joensuuuuuuuu!!!
