Scheif is on McDavid's line playing RW.

I will be watching as much as I can and will try not to miss any of Canada's or NA's games.

has anyone seen how Laine is doing with Finland?  I see they are playing Sweden this morning in exhibition.

I watched a bit of the first Finland game, Laine impressed me, just seemed to know where to be to get himself in a position in the offensive zone. Kids gonna be a good finisher I think. The instincts seem to be there. 

Laine has been good so far. His line mates are not tho. Also on the PP he's always open but his mates never really pass it to him and when they do its a poor pass 

 

And it's Mathews Scheif Saad for Team NA

They better not screw around with our Buff

Torts! What the hell are you doing? What's next, Wheeler in net?!?

 

The only thing I want to comment on right now is the location of the Canada/Russia game tonight... I absolutely can't wrap my head around why they would play a Canada/Russia game in Pittsburgh... other than it being a neutral site, which also doesn't make any sense b/c the whole tournament is being played in Toronto anyways.... literally any other city in Canada would have been a better choice... guarantee MTS centre would be sold out for this game...

Not that his game means much... just seems like a huge money making opportunity missed... any Canadian city would sell 15-20K seats... will Pittsburgh sell 10k for this game?

 

 

 

 

How did Hellebuyck play last night?

He played 1 period.  The 3rd. Came in cold off the bench to start the 3rd. Let in a fluke but kind of soft but more bad luck goal. That's all he's played.  As a former goalie myself.... I always thought that the hardest thing to do was to come in to a game cold in the 3rd. He was ok tho. Not great. Not awful.  Ok. Wasn't given the best opportunity tho in my opinion. Starting a game Is a lot easier than coming in cold. Personally if that was me I'd either want to start the game or not play at all. 

Torts is gonna Torts. Buff healthy scratched.  USA lose 3 0. 

That was a game that shows shots on goal can be deceiving.  35 or so to 17 for the USA. But Europe had about 10 scoring chances and the US had maybe 2 

I'm still figuring out how Torts got this gig, he hasn't been a good coach for years and just says anything that come into his head.

Dunno if anyone noticed but the entire rinkboard in the CDN/CR game is a superimposed ad.

Don't know how they did that but they could change ads at will using the centre ice camera only.
