Pre-Game Talk: World cup of hockey 2016 thread

Henrik is pissed right now. He'll be thinking about that poke check for the next 36 hours.

Poke check is a suicide move. MacKinnon toe-drag around that poke check was absolutely unreal. Further unreal was the fact that Lundqvist still almost recovered to make the save. Just world-class all around on that play.

Hank was amazing, end of discussion.

Absolutely filthy move by MacKinnon. One of the best OT's ever!

 

[Boruto]

I'm still upset at that OT goal. Every off season I think to myself, "This year, I am going to be relaxed and enjoy the season knowing there are going to be ups and downs". It never happens.

Makes me want to puke how sick this is.

It's insane he's had to face 85 shots in just 2 games. Two good opponents as well.

When i watched that goal i said the same thing about hank. How the hell did he recover and almost make that save? I got a feeling we're going to see Lundqvist best year ever.

Woa, close chance!

notice that there is a ROW column

so if Finland takes Russia to a shoot-out,
will Young Guns advance even if Russia wins S\O?

answer seems to be NO

Two-Way Tie
Any tie between two teams will be decided by the result of their head-to-head game.

My understanding is that if Russia wins, regardless of what kind of win it is, NA will be eliminated.

RUS has the H2H on NA.

RUS has the H2H on NA.

Didn't they say during today's game that NA could have secured a spot with a regulation win? I'm not sure H2H is the tie-breaker.

They also mentioned multiple times on the broadcast and on Twitter that Finland needs to win against Russia because Russia has the H2H against NA.

A lucky goal by Crosby killed this game for sure early in 1st period.
Halak has been gr8 so far if u remove the 1 mistake he had on the 2nd goal. They should save him for the semi final and switch goalie.
I think Team EU already thinking about the semi-final, because Canada looks too strong with 2-0 lead in 1st.

They drink and swear?

(2-1) Marian Hossa - it`s certainly match again!

They never go away apparently. Melrose has some sketchy relatives I guess.

 

[member 116805]

Haha worst call giving both 2 mins


Edit:double minor? Lol even worse

 

[member 116805]

Ref ruining an exciting game by handing Can a PP. Totally took away team EUR's energy after killing the penalty

But there is plenty of time left

 

[Ori]

It`s more fun to play against Sweden @Hellion in the semi-final.
If Canada win this game they will meet either Russia or NA.
