Canada lost 2 D to injury and still didn't call up Bruz

Because he’s American.

 

[PredsForPresidents]

Because he’s American.

Ope, good point

 

[Huhu]

Is he allowed to pull a reverse Brett Hull?

 

[DFAC]

Brutal giveaway by Hutson there - oof

 

[VanJack]

Because he’s American.

Bruz may be American, but another Canuck d-prospect Sawyer Mynio was born just up the road in Kamloops. He didn't get a sniff from selection camp, and I guess the early season injuries hurt his chances.

Solid opening win for Canada in a weirdly officiated game. Canada needs to reduce the penalties they take, but that was a solid team effort.

anyone kept getting a playback error on tsn live?

what a waste of subscription i just paid

 

[JumpierPegasus]

America looking woefully average vs. the Norwegians

Mine was spotty yesterday when I signed up, but perfect today. Maybe it takes some time to run smoothly?

(Either way, bullshit - should work perfectly immediately)

Wow that was a terrible play

 

[Deeds26]

Well, EP2 should see tons of ice time to start, Willander and Lekk will probably be off the ice until the PK is over.

Best game i've ever seen from Norway. They were fast and even had some skill up front

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

With one of Sweden's D taking a misconduct 25 secs into the game
looks like Willander #24, is playing RD on the 3rd pair now instead of LD on the 2nd pair
EP #2 is LD on the 2nd pair

stupid interview - hey guy with not the strongest english let me word the questions in a fancy way that delays your processing

This stuff drives me crazy. There's such a lack of professionalism. Shove your mic in the face of some teenager from Sweden or Finland and ask a question full of mangled idioms, with sentences that start in one direction and then veer off in another, and expect an intelligent answer. Brilliant.

I found it funny how lekkerimaki had 3 shots right from the hash marks and missed the net every single time.

nvm he's back to playing the left side

it's even funnier cause the glass makes funny sound

I've really liked Pettersson2 and Willander from what I've seen.

Lekk is going to absolutely infuriate the hell out of all of us if/when he makes the show

 

[Szechwan]

Nice active shift from Willander there

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Lekk is surprisingly physical, likes to throw his body around just like EP, I mean the #40 one

I really want to be excited about Lekk but ive yet to see him be the best player on his line in these tournaments.
He threw the body a bit on his last shift and had a good backcheck, so hopefully he's getting more involved the rest of the way.

 

[Canucks LB]

I’m not able to watch the game, how’s our three prospects doing?
