A Ghost bomb

Lol Sustr's stick is like 9 meters long #Pierre

Eichel
McDavid
Matthews
Gaudreau
Ekblad
Rielly

Which name doesn't belong?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Sustr's movements are so goofy looking.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Boo Ghost, Boo!

 

[Curufinwe]

Looked like Mzraek saved that great chance to score for Couturier.

Boo Ghost, Boo!

If Ekblad put that puck in his wheelhouse the puck would have went through the net.

Good to see Couts out there though in the last minute with that type of fire power. So close to putting that one home.

Funny to hear them say Couts has been their best C at faceoffs.

I have no idea how many faceoffs he had....but he was at 83% today!

If Couts jumps up in FO% in the regular season, that would be a nice bonus for us.

Happy that Ghost had a great game.

I've always liked Coots as the net front presence potentially on our PP2. He was doing that on Canada's last PP. We probably don't have the man power now and he's better off on the wall, but if there's a unit with Provorov, Sanheim/Myers (maybe Sanheim and Ghost both go on PP1), Konecny, and some other skill player, it'd be a good spot.

It was a bit of a low key pre-tourney for him the first two games imo. He didn't start off strong this game either, but he started to do better (minus getting rag dolled by the 6'6" Hanzal on the rush lol), and then when he scored his goal, his confidence just surged and he looked like the Ghost we know.

He's just one of those players who has to play balls-to-the-wall aggressive making things happen and being assertive in every zone. The more passive or "simple" his game gets, the worse it is. His entire game revolves around being dynamic, like a Karlsson. I can understand the tentativeness though in being thrown on this team. His teammates could stand to hit him up for more looks though.

He was 10/12.

Gostisbehere led NA in TOI. 22:31.

I get he is a lefty & that was probably his saving grace but Murray shouldn't have been named to this team right away at least. If they would have waited I think Michael Matheson from Florida would have been a better choice in the summer.

Nahhh Ryan White was clearly the man for the job

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I know they're not going to be but these damn announcers better be at the damn arena for tonight's game.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Hull and Chelios are awful.

 

[Curufinwe]

Nice backhander by Bergeron.

 

[Curufinwe]

G set Thornton up for a tip in on the PP with 5:00 left but he couldn't finish.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I honestly find it more interesting that Team Europe has a chance to actually win a game here than the Canada/Russia game.

 

[Curufinwe]

Amazing saves by Bob on Getzlaf.

ROR is getting a ton of PK time.

 

[Rebels57]

Thornton-O'Reilly-Giroux have been good so far

Zaitsev has been impressive for Russia

Leave it to Crosby to high-stick a ref

They really arent a bad team. They just matched up with NA and their blazing speed really poorly.

Beating Sweden will be a hell of an accomplishment if they pull it off though.
