Disappointing that more top Canadians declined.. I understand Crosby, Toews. Keith. They've paid their dues, and probably now as older vets need the rest, but where is MacKinnon, McDavid, Suban, Scheifele, even Stamkos could have signed up. Hall Benn Weber.... You dont think weber has paid his dues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownky Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Markstrom got Lit UP in that second period. You have to let it fewer than 7 goals in a game in order to win, in most cases. One Yike from that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play hockey all year. They don't need to keep playing if they aren't feeling it. I know I'd want to be with my family and friends as soon as the seasons over.

Rob_Zepp Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Canada game difference was goaltending. Russia game was simply calibre and willingness to get dirty. Nylander showed, as one example, why he is a world class talent but also why he is a no show in tougher conditions. Still picked up his points but number of times he was out muscled (out competed) in that second period was crazy when a younger and slighter kid (think you have heard of him, Elias something) was playing like his life depended on it. Crazy day of games. Russia is showing so far they are the class of this tournament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDragon23 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Canada was impressive against the Americans. They could make a run for it this year. Although it will be hard to beat that Russian team considering how badly they just spanked Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 I saw the hit. He probably should get a game for it. It was of the shoulder-to-chin variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it will be hard to beat that Russian team considering how badly they just spanked Sweden The playoffs is a different game in The Worlds pretty much the same way as it is in the nhl. So while Russia was impressive today it remains to be seen if that means anything going forward. My guess would be that Canada lacks speed and won’t go all the way, but Kane seems kinda lackluster as a leader on the US team on the other hand. I think Sweden or Russia will win it in the end. SWE - FIN will be a monster game Thursday in the quarterfinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeHockey Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Not sure if this has been posted further up but for those interested in a daily podcast from the world championships then try this out: The totally ice hockey show https://audioboom.com/channels/4993402 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-totally-ice-hockey-show/id1461188077 Presented by James Richardson (formerly of gazzetta football italia for anyone aware of the show who incidentally does a cracking football podcast called the totally football podcast) It's a good show - feels targeted at newer fans but it has a host of European and North American hockey writers/broadcasters on the panel. I think the rest day episode will have an interview with Igor Larionov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn't Canada's top forward he was damn close. Like his Columbus team mates there is no quit in his game. Torts coached him well. Sorry but on the USA side I simply have a hard time liking stars like Kane, Gaudreau, Hanifin and Eichel. They seem to check out on a regular basis.

Game times are 4:15 PM and 8:15 PM respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
