OK, fine... the 2013 WJHC thread

Grimaldi hits bar, insists it went in

Edit: replays shows it went in, will not count

 

[flyersfan4706]

End of first

 

[flyersfan4706]

Finns back to the PP

 

[flyersfan4706]

Holy IIHF reffing

 

[flyersfan4706]

1-0 end of 2nd

 

[flyersfan4706]

Granlund scores early on the 3rd...2-0

 

[flyersfan4706]

Make it 3-0

 

[flyersfan4706]

US on the board, 3-1

 

[flyersfan4706]

Tipped by the Finns, 4-1. Arsenal game, here I come

Okay, it's still early, but this Canadian team is offensively challenged.

Canada beats Sweden 2-1 via the coin flip. Binnington was far and away the best Canadian player.

Did you see the Boone Jenner hit? Broke the dudes ribs apparently.
Suspendable offense or good open ice hit?

I didn't see it puck, but I have a feeling Jenner will be suspended.

Here's the hit puck, looks pretty late to me.

Drouin goal today - Sweet, sweet hands (Chicken Parm thinks Canada got away with a gloved pass from the defensive zone to the neutral zone).

@markhmasters: Pettersson sustained a dislocated shoulder & fractured wrist, according to @IIHFHockey

@markhmasters: Just got word from the Swedes: Jesper Pettersson officially out for the WJHC ... heading home

Team USA looked like shit today against Finland. They better realize the officiating is different at the International level quickly or they're going to be in big trouble.

Barkov & Salomaki looked good for the Fins.

just watched game

- Wotherspoon blew a tire on the PK to cause the SWE goal. Not sayin' nothin', but Corrado rarely falls down.
- better PK in general, but still on it WAY too often
- Dougie Hamilton 4 minors already. settle down, shithead. no excuse for a top d-man. 1 minute left in a tie game, and you slash someone right infront of the ref? wait until you are in Boston to play like an idiot. (Strome has 3 minors, fwiw).
- PP still looks like shit too often. they are waiting for lanes to open instead of creating them. too many guys standing still.
- Scheifele is going to be a heck of a player. Still reminds me of Spezza.
- Binnington > Subban right now. Malcolm in the Middle had better be on a short leash if he still is #1. terrific glove save in OT
- honestly, I don't have too much of a problem with the hit. You can't admire a pass like that. by my timing, it was "one mississi-WHAM". that's not official, mind you.
- Hamilton also tried (and missed) for the huge hit in OT, leaving a clear 2 on 1. He is either trying to do way too much, or he is pretty over-rated. He stands out for the wrong reasons too often so far.
- better effort overall, but I am still waiting for the dominance

Strome has been adding some truculence to his game this year. His penalty minutes are definately up. Sorry.:

He's looked like a Burke-era Leaf from what I've seen in the tourney so far. That is to say he's been mediocre at best.

Kid needs to pick it up.
