Very even game so far.

Yes, they seem able to match up against each other. It'll be interesting to see who has another gear.

All this time, I thought Sobotka was Russian. But clearly he's Czech.

I feel weirdly proud of Draisaitl right now, lol. Doing his bit for German hockey!

"What a cool sock"

I might be more all-in on Team Europe than I am on Team NA at this point. Come on, Euro Misfits!!!

+1. By all accounts I should be Team NA all the way, but I love this ragtag team too much to give my whole heart to another. How did that happen?

That Zuccarello pass was sick.

It was great.

Ekblad's injured....

Re: Game day thread 19 Sept 2016

That could be very tricky for them.

Honestly, Jones and Murray were the best pair last game. I don't think it's hurting as much as people will think.

I wish Melrose would talk about 75% less, that would make this broadcast almost bearable. He just keeps going!! Saying nothing!!

Re: Game day thread 19 Sept 2016

Brandon Saad's wearing an A! Because Ekblad is out, probably? Either way, I'm glad at least one American has wormed his way into the leadership group.

I really don't want to end up hating McDavid but this "INCREDIBLE EVERY TIME HE TOUCHES THE PUCK" stuff is getting old real fast.

Re: Game day thread 19 Sept 2016

I was only rooting for Russia to the extent that I wanted to see Kuch score, team NA can come back now!!

Re: Game day thread 19 Sept 2016

Ok I don't like this game anymore

Re: Game day thread 19 Sept 2016

Sorry, guys. Every time I cheer for a team during this tournament, they lose. :(

Uh, I mean. Ros-si-ya! Ros-si-ya!

Re: Game day thread 19 Sept 2016

[(Anonymous)]

At some point during this game I started rooting for Russia and now I'm biting my nails. Why do I do this to myself?

Re: Game day thread 19 Sept 2016

[(Anonymous)]

I have nothing against McDavid really, but man, the more these announcers hype him, the more I want him to make terrible, obvious mistakes. I really don't think the Russians are "terrified of his skill", ffs.

Re: Game day thread 19 Sept 2016

Russia's going to lose because of penalties,aren't they.

Re: Game day thread 19 Sept 2016

Gaudreau really ran off the ice in the end there. I hope he's OK.

Re: Game day thread 19 Sept 2016

Fuck, now Murray's hurt? :(

Drouin's not hurt, he just was benched for having a "hard time getting pucks at the net". Unlike certain players that played 20+ minutes tonight, right??? I kind of hate McLellan.
