[(Anonymous)]

Team North America vs. Team Sweden, 3 p.m.,

Team Europe vs. Team Canada, 8 p.m.,

Apparently they're scratching Larkin, and dropping Eichel and Drouin to the fourth line, to which I can only say: really?

Larks :(

Well the game plan is just keep playing McDavid anyway, right?

That was fast.

Maybe they shouldn't have Hank play back to back.

Defense has been a mess, too.

My nerves would really like for Sweden to stop getting powerplays

Re: Game day thread 21 Sept 2016

Yeah even when they haven't scored it seems like it gives them confidence. NA should be careful.

I haven't been able to really sit down and watch the games anything more than casually, and it's impossible to wade through the bias/narrative about how players on Team NA are performing. Apparently only McDavid, Matthews, and Reilly are any good.

The announcers are especially obnoxious about it. I'd probably like McDavid a lot more if they stopped fellating him for five seconds.

RNH, MacKinnon and Gaudreau have been good too.

Re: Game day thread 21 Sept 2016

Gaudreau has been the best forward this game and it's not close, I don't think.

This is so stressful

All the awards for Hank and Gibson, those were some amazing saves

Pretty sure my blood pressure skyrocketed during that OT

It's a big advantage if Russia gets to play an already eliminated Finland. Fortunately for TNA, I think the Finns might hate Russia enough to still be motivated though.

THAT WAS AMAZING!

Holy shit, MacKinnon has amazing hands. Keeping the bbs alive!

Re: Game day thread 21 Sept 2016

As amazing as that OT and MacKinnon's goal were, really silly of NA not to pull their goalie and play for the win. Have to think they didn't fully understand the tiebreak scenarios.

scoreboard watching Team Europe you make me :(

Joe Thornton is of Ent lineage: discuss (there are still family arguments amongst the elder generations about the whole being uprooted & going fast on skates thing, but...)

Re: Game day thread 21 Sept 2016

I aggressively don't care about team Canada, but when is Stamkos going to score a fricken goal in this tournament! What is he doing???

Re: Game day thread 21 Sept 2016

Good Job USA some how you manage to be 4-2 vs Canada compare to the rest.

Re: Game day thread 21 Sept 2016

I meant to ask this yesterday -

On the Thornton/Sekera coincidental minors, why did they give Sekera a double minor instead of consecutive ones? I have to assume there's something about Thornton having to be unavailable during the power play, but if the reason for the pp is Thornton's injury, I don't understand why they wouldn't have played 4 on 4, then gone to a Canada pp after two minutes. As far as i can tell, unless there's a pre-existing penalty, coincidental minors don't have to be played at 5 on 5 until there's a whistle to let the guys out of the box.

I may need an ELI5 here. Or to be told "it's at the ref's discretion." I did in fact try reading the rules for coincidental minors, but it's possible I just can't comprehend cause I'm not willing to mute the audio of this game.
