Late but deserved. I guess the quantity of quality will make the difference but the Czechs played well and they're still in.
Didn't know the Sharks are already in the playoffs. :mrgreen:

Right! I mean Celebrini has as many Cups as McDavid already in only his second year :wink:

That backhand pass from Marner was slick!

The Swedish commentators said the save on McDavid there was the sickest save of the tournament, alonngside Clara’s on Pettersson.

He's playing fine overall, it's not meant as a major criticism, but you kind of have to hope the best player on earth gets the puck up a little more on that one. Plenty more chances to come though, I'm sure.

Looking at Necas in this game just makes you wonder what could have been if management had traded Pettersson for him per the rumors. Necas looks as dynamic now as Pettersson was in his heyday.

The only hope we have left is that Pettersson starts giving a shit about hockey again and mans-up.

Why did we trade him and not JT?

Imagine, instead of Pettersson-Miller-Hughes as a core, we had Horvat-Necas-Hughes???

Did anyone noticed Horvat so far? :lol:

Great goal and before Marner's flip pass even greater. Bobby Orr style.

Sorry Per, does any commentator on earth has a clue. Imo they're all talking bullshit. :lol: More or less.
Can't remember such a SICK save.
