Expand When he is on the ice the other team knows it and they keep their head on a swivel....I could see them wanting to get Skinner a game against a team they thought they would handle but was surprised that he dressed for Kleven instead of LaCombe. LaCombe has been our least effective D in every game he has played. Didn't matter to much as neither LaCombe or Skinner played until the final 2 minutes after we got the empty net goal. Quote

Misplays at the blue line, poor clearances, poor gaps. The IIHF goes out of its way to punish physical play, but he is needed in the lineup. Quote

The quarterfinal round is always an interesting one, all four games ended up close. Expand If USA plays against FIN like they did against SVK they'll get run right out of not just Edmonton, but Alberta. Quote

Expand Sanderson could've made a better choice. (He had more time than he realized.) But, the forward didn't do much to help the clearing attempt nor did they do much to stop the shot-pass. And the other defenseman was late getting over to the man who made the tip. That will assuredly be a film room conversation. Quote
scpa0305 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Sanderson has just been ok....that's fine he's an 18 year old. Kleven needs to be in tonights game. Quote

To me that's best on the board. CAN at -315 (bet $315 and if they win you get your $315 plus $100) doesn't interest me. Quote

Wilbur Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 There are times Askarov is really good and times he's really bad. The latter showed up, but credit to Canada of course for their effort thus far. Quote
