X. Benedict Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Just some notes on the Worlds. Marc-Andre Gragnani is looking like a stud. We may have a better player on our hands than any of us imagined. He's been carving up the boxes on the PP like a veteran. Carrying the puck out of the D zone. Crisp tape-to-tape outlets. (Sure its a bigger surface, but he's never played with these guys) He looks like a young Thomas Kaberle. Gaustad doesn't look out of place at all on the US roster. Scott Gordon is throwing Gaustad out there for nearly every D-Zone faceoff. Gaustad is switching hands again for draws. Something I think he had stopped doing in the playoffs.

Always enjoy the games because i love watching the USA play. It doesn't even matter to me what the names on the backs are, i just hope they do well. I've some of the games live, but watched the Canada game last night on tape delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Haven't seen any of these. What channel is broadcasting the games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Haven't seen any of these. What channel is broadcasting the games? Versus is showing the USA - France game replay after the Preds-Canucks game (at least they are on my cable system). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloSoldier2010 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 In the US-CAN game, I was really impressed with Gragnani. In the US canada game, i was pissed when rick nash buried the winning SO goal, and zach parise talked about it in a suit behind the broadcast desk. :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 In the US canada game, i was pissed when rick nash buried the winning SO goal, and zach parise talked about it in a suit behind the broadcast desk. :wallbash: Every team has more than a few capable players sitting out or unavailable to play right now. I was kind of pissed that Sid Crosby was unavailable to bury 1 for Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 The US hung on against France. If France's PP didn't look like Boston's (can't pick on the Sabres PP too much this year) they easily get that game into OT or win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Poor goaltending and poor 1st passes out of the zone killed Team USA today against Switzerland. At 2 EDT, Versus is carrying the Canada-Sweden game. That should be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better things to come from a lot of these players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobody Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Maybe the Sabres need to get in the play for Sweden's goalie - Viktor Fasth. He'll be 29 next season. TB, EDM & NYR interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpandean Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 What college kid did that a decade or so ago? Zach Parise talked about this during the intermission. He said that we've seen that before in college games, but the difference with those is that they were done from a standstill; Granlund did it while skating around the net. He finished with, and I quote, "I couldn't do that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
