    Not sure if you dickweeds get any coverage of the World Cup of Hockey down there but right now I'm watching an exhibition between USA Canada, US up 3-1. Thought it would be some kind of scrimmage/nothing match but these guys are trying to take each other's heads off. Fucking awesome game so far.

    Good game gents. Amurica with a great show. Can't wait to see how intense the actual games are. But at the same time, would hate to see anyone get hurt at this thing.

    Some early lines at practice (not in any particular order).

    Vesey-Hayes-Nash
    Kreider-Zibanejad-Buchnevich

    Staal-Clendening
    Holden-Klein

    The World Cup of Hockey players aren't practicing yet.

    1st game positives:
    Zib- ton of skill, hard shot
    Pirri- sniper
    Clendening- PP point was very good last night
    Kreider
    Skapski- 3-4 incredible saves
    Hellberg- used his size well

    I was sitting rinkside at the game last night, I thought Hellberg was shaky and Skapski was lights out

    After the 1st goal I thought he was good, Skapski looked like Hank....how about Zib, Pirri and Clendening, GG?

    90th anniversary picayune complaint: not crazy about the "9" center ice design - looked weird last night.

    Could've done a better job by working the full "90" into it.

    Pirri what a shot! Dude is a sniper. Buc seems a little timid to me, we don't need another passer we need a closer I really how he plays aggressive. Zib was freggin awesome, I miss Brass but this seems at minimum even value maybe an upgrade. I didn't look at Clendening much but he definitely held his own

    Buch's 1st real game, that line rocked, Buch's speed and shot are evident
