Do you have a breakdown by period? He seemed to have increased time in the 1st, but then balanced them out in the other periods. By an axample, JH had played around 7 minutes, with less than 5 minutes remaining in the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else you want to know? That's fine. Are you a Flames fan? It's quite surprising that they were so even. May have to do with having B2B games or that's how they roll. I wonder why Saad had so little ice in the 1st. EDIT - Asking if you are a Flames fan because you are relatively new to the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us have an open mind, but we have had our share of trolls on here. Connor4GM was one of the classics, who disappeared in one of the Oiler failed years. Anie was another, but moved.

Dooyas Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I won't be getting into too many troll wars. I really can't stand them. I will usually only post if I think misinformation is being used such as today with ice time. I've grew up an Oilers fan and spent the last 20 years living in Calgary. I've seen the arguments. I'll usually let the score sheet be the final judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xstrike Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I think Team Europe deserves a lot of credit for that. They really slowed down the play in the neutral zone and I dont' think US was very preapred for that, and its a Torts coached team so you know they want to go North-south. I don't disagree Team USA didn't play their best hockey but I think alot of the credit should go to how Europe played. I think Team Europe is building their credit nicely, especially with an OT win over the Czechs. If Team USA doesn't win tomorrow tonight, the group is decided. Europe's basically punched their ticket to the semis. (Not mathematically cleared, but a lot would have to happen to knock them out.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooyas Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Team USA does not play tonight. Team NA and Russia play tonight. Team USA and Canada play tomorrow And that was a beauty goal by Draistl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli 50s50 seconds ago Ralph Krueger, Europe coach: "I've never experienced a buy-in like this in 25 years as a coach. We're tight. And we're not done." #WCH2016 So much for the "they won't have pride becuase they arn't playing for a flag" argument... Thought it was silly anyway. I think the addition of the NA team and Team Europe has been fantastic for this tournament and I would hope they lean toward keeping it that way. I think Team USA is going home. They are just too slow upfront to compete in this tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few shifts where they came off the ice, then went back on shortly after. May have been matchups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooyas Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Well for my eye test, that line almost had 3 goals in the first period, they should have been getting some extra minutes. Look at them tonight, rocking again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Well that was a close one. Some iffy play in this game allowed the Russians to take over for a period. Poor execution on the 5v3. It could have been a game changer. Strangely enough, Gaudreau/Nuge/MacKinnon had the best chances when put together and biggest impact. Larkin got benched for most of the game. Drouin got a similar fate, but not for the same reason. Have to hope for a long drawn out Finn-Sweden battle before we play them.

Heartbreaker Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 You were at the game, Heartbreaker? Yup! And every time Johnny got the puck the ACC lit up. It's a total coming out party for him, and it's really exciting to watch a star in the make that plays on your team! Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a total coming out party for him, and it's really exciting to watch a star in the make that plays on your team! Love. Lucky sod. It's quite surprising how the media is starting to realize what we have know for some time. I think the sweet spot for Gaudreau is about 18 minutes of ice. Put him in a pressure situation with the game on the line and he wants to make that perfect pass or shot. He will look for the best opportunity; he doesn't panic. Man, I wish Monahan was there. He is a real finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbreaker Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Lucky sod. Man, I wish Monahan was there. He is a real finisher. Actually, I got lucky again - a friend of mine ended up with a spare ticket for Canada/USA tonight! Even though there are no Flames on either roster, I'll represent in my Monahan jersey. Love.

travel_dude Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 General question - If Russia loses to Finland and TNA loses to Sweden, how do they decide 2nd place with a 3 way tie? Is it by goals total or goal differential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 1. Regulation and overtime wins 2. Regulation wins 3. Goal differential 4. Total goals I didn't realize they gave a point for a OTL. Interesting. So far all the Group B games are regulation wins so, it would likely come down to differential.

redfire11 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Canada vs USA Quite the impressive game by Canada. But then again if Quick would have been a little sharper/luckier it would have been tight. ## a side note!!! Love the way Weber stood up and protected Price. Montreal definitely won the Subban trade.

conundrumed Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 The USA decided Europe was a scrimmage. Canada: "Really? One less team to worry about?". I fully expected Canada would kiss them out. How often have we heard the trash talk, "WE'RE BUILDING A TEAM TO BEAT CANADA". That was fun to watch.

I've been wondering since I found out, but who's idea was it to hire Torts? Surely there was someone else they could have gotten for the head job, they had 3 other head coaches on the staff. In my opinion, Torts' really not that great at the coaching thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Burke was a senior advisor, Lombardi and Holmgren were GM/Asst GM and given the players they picked, Tortorella actually fits. Torts is not the reason they lost, they lose becuase they brought a pretty bad team that was way too heavy on size and physicality and lacking in talent. USA reminded me of Canada in the last 90s where we thought that in order to beat the countries we had to be bigger, stronger and more physical to try and beat them up and nullify their skill. Looks to me like Team USA thought they could be big and strong, specifically on the blueline, and slow down the faster Team Canada. as it was for Canada in the 90s its an equally terrible strategy now. There are really no excuses why guys like Kessell, Okposo, and Shanttenkirk are not on this team and guys like Abdelkader where. They picked a very poor team, that is why they are out.
