He's tried it like 20 times, don't think he's hit the net many times either on those.

Is Chara still of Top 4 dman in the NHL? God is he ever slow.

He looked poor last season too.

Also, lol at the people who thought this tournament was going to be just another all-star game.

Good cheap young players

I don't know if they are better than expected. I'm kind of surprised that how well they've played is, umm, a surprise.

23 and under doesn't mean a bunch of teenagers or rookies. Every one of these guys is a quality NHLer (or will be next month, in Matthew's case).

At the same time, Europe seems awfully disjointed, which kind of makes sense considering it's guys from eight countries.

McDavid plays with the same sort of recklessness as Taylor Hall. I foresee a lot of time on the IR in his future.

[GreenLantern2814]

This is tough to watch.

[StrykerSteve]

4-1 and now a goalie change for Europe.

[GreenLantern2814]

Those weak wristers will help

How's johnny doing?

I think it's also worth pointing out that 20 year olds are generally more coachable than 30 year olds.

[GirlySports]

Man they are fast

Eichel and McDavid are too busy trying to one up each other on puck hogging to even notice hes open for a pass

Their line hasn't done much. Kinda running around like a chicken with its head cut off

Looks like Sbisa is still a bad defenseman... Lol Canucks

He's only touched the puck once. McDavid and Eichel are kind of puck hogs.

[FireItUp]

McDavid really needs to learn how to adjust his speed...seems like just goes full tilt all the time and ends up wasting prime chances.

[GreenLantern2814]

Chara's decision making has been appalling.

If you're a Boston fan, you're counting your blessings a team this fast doesn't exist in real life.
