We (USA) should be fine tomorrow.

An unknown goaltender stole the game tonight. Now they get to face the best goaltender in the tournament by a mile. They are not "fine".

I was at Finland - Denmark at noon. It was very thin. And then they showed the highlights on tv tonight and oh god it looked even worse. Just a ghost town. Blue Cross Arena in Rochester would have been too large.

5026 is the official number for Finland Denmark from earlier today.

I kinda get what you’re saying...
but u think they didn’t realize that Jack likes to shoot from that spot at all last year?
Ovechkin & Stamkos do the same thing
If they’re cheating towards Jack,
maybe we should check out how the Caps & Tampa free up theor shooters?

- jdfitz77


I think teams did start to make that adjustment last year. Without checking, I think the PP did start to slow down at the end of the year. Last year, RoR was much more a threat and Sam contributed down low....and frankly, Jack shot better.

It's one of the reasons I cringe at the thought of extending Kane. RoR, Okposo, and Kane are not dangerous on the PP, especially for the cost. You'd think one of them would be a better net-front presence than Sam, but they haven't been so far.

Kane and O’Reilly both have nice shots
Maybe we should be setting them up on the opposite circle
Force the defense to spread out some & create a little more room for Jack

I was expecting a lot more break out passes and odd man rushes from this system

either run the goalie, or skate across dot to dot and shoot. Worked every time.

Just draft Mittelstadt and call it a night. Where’s the recorder of deeds? Three Eyed Raven EVERMORE!

They might have nice shots, but that doesn't always translate to the PP. Kane has a decent shot on the rush, but he doesn't one time well or have a particularly hard shot or quick release. He also prefers Jack's spot on the ice and doesn't look comfortable on the right side. Same is pretty much true for RoR, to a lesser extent.

Rasmus should shoot more, but him and Jack both being right shots is part of what makes the setup awkward.

They lost, 11 should have done more! That game was brutal. Trap games blow, good on Slovakia

Mittlestadt wants to be in the show next year

Quinn Hughes looks very smooth (I'm a fan)

Kaiser - you are a breath of fresh air with all the negativity.

I think the sabres will be good sooner than later.
This draft is super important to hit on. Top 5
Looks like middlestat is a nhl player

We may rebuild again next year, but

Eichel
Ror
Risto
Guhle
Middlestat
TOP 5 player

Erod
Cj smith
Ulmark



It's starting to turn around.

- Boss34


Agreed. It is looking better.

And Reinhart's play for the last two months is really winning me over to YOUR side of the argument.

There is only so far two season of solid production can carry you when you appear listless on the ice.

This happens every World Juniors during the Prelim games. If quarterfinals and on are thin then there is a problem.

Watched the USA game in its entirety ladt night...man did they look flat has hell, very disappointing.
However,
The goal scored by Mittelstadt literally lifted me out of my chair to yell in euphoria at the beauty of the goal, immediately calling out Casey Friggin Mettelstadt-Orr!
That was one of the prettiest goals I have seen in quite some time.
Simply cannot wait to see him play again this afternoon!

So team was flat and he wasn't OR he was flat too and just scored a nice one? Watched the highlights but can't seem to find a full length rerun to watch. Thanks for the recap either way.

welcome to 2018

one of my best friends is a die hard charger fan
we decided to get 2 seats in case they pl;ay the chargers or bills
jaguars are putting extra tickets on sale


you need to get their phone app and buy tickets through that when they go on sale at 10 am

I guess it is to control scalping, but imagine a 60 year old trying to figure it out


it was a pain just trying to explain movie pass to my in laws





of course if the jags play tennessee or baltimore, I need to figure out how to sell/transfer the tickets
