Sodbuster Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Same thing I thinking. A bit selfish.He seems to mess around with the puck till a Russian is able to take it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGreyAnt41 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Same thing I thinking. A bit selfish. I agree. I've never been a fan of Eichel for this exact reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Where was Eichel trying to send that back-hand pass to? Or was he trying to back-hand a SOG from just inside the blue line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 What a pathetic effort by team USA. Some poor decision by the coaching staff and didn't make adjustments from the game against Canada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 USA needs to figure out how to beat Russia in this tournament. As for the rest of the way, I'm putting the ABC rule into effect. Anyone...but...Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cberkas Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Someone should have told our defensemen, if you hold the zone you don't have to skate near as much. And clear loose pucks from the front of the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90siouxfan Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Outdoor ice conditions have been questionable at points in the past (see: LA, or Wrigley Field, heck, see Omaha but that wasn't pro). Stars can get hurt walking out from the tunnel, but why put them in conditions (poor ice) that increase the risk? As far as "buzz", look even at this site: the luster of "winter classic" isn't what it was.I'll say it again: The minute this costs an owner a player you'll see teams staying away from the gimick.PS - Playing outdoors, on an outdoor football or baseball field, differentiates ... how?'Put it at the North Pole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Captain Jack went thru the handshake line and didn't say a word to a single Russian player and simply stared blankly ahead. C'mon, Jack, be better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Eichel is skilled, but tried to do too much himself all tournament. Lot of weak penalties today, with most being called against the US. The Russian gameplan appeared to be to fall or grab their faces anytime a stick got within a foot of their heads. This was a highly-skilled group of US forwards, but for whatever reason they just didn't click all tourney. Not nearly as much offense as what they were capable of...especially on the PP. Looked horrible most times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should contact USA Hockey immediately and volunteer your services. With your keen insight and knowledge of the game, there's little doubt you could lead the team to a plethora of gold metals, er, medals. Of course, you might not be interested in the job as rules probably prohibit you from drinking beer while on the bench. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
