GB

GB playing much better, but erdhart is hopeless. Also, I wish they'd stop with banging the stretch passes up the boards.

Erdhart has been dissmal all tournement in my opinion. He just isn't quick enough to respond on the puck and regularly coughs it up. I just don't see him as bieng upto the same standard as the others personally.

Great period GB 0 0..but 4 pp chances is not good, you can bet your bottom dollar usa first pp will be a goal .

This is the sign of a tank that hasn't had chance to gel. They need to get things moving faster if they want to get better chances.

He makes BOC look like Bobby Orr. Tetlow has been very good though.

Good to see Bordy skating out with the USA. It is crazy when they announce some of the statistics, teams played for and salaries of some of the USA guys. Puts things into a little perspective of just how massive a task it is for our lads.

LOL you are not wrong there. Agree Tetlow has played well in this game in particular.

Batch not icing?

Neither him nor Duggan are on the roster today

Astonishing that erdhart gets in ahead of batch. I suppose that they have to rotate the squad though.

Jackson whistle is playing extremely well.

Agree, squad rotation I suppose, Whistle is having a great game.

I think I jinxed whistle. That second goal was a mess.

Pete Russell for you. And whistle is playing superb despite letting 3 in

As someone posted earlier, resting a few for the big one v austria

Whistle surely has to have man of match. Awesome play today and out of the 3 goals against him 2 of them were powerplay and the third was just a blinder of a 164kph wrist shot over his shoulder.

Losing 3-0 against the USA isn't bad, but GB need to get a clue on the pp and when they get to the blue line.

USA just stood up on the blue line, and the only answer was dump and watch.

Ben Lake also very well deserved some massive shifts and gave it all.

Yeah terrible powerplay all tournement considering I think we are now 11 and 0.

The movement is so slow. It's like pass, pause to look around, pass, look around etc

They have to get quicker movement. In the same way the devils in Europe made sure that they had a pp system, GB have to do the same.

I think Whistle's stock has gone up in value these past two games. Conceding only 3 out of 38 SoG against $6Million/year NHL players - for a guy who wasn't even the No1 pick for an EIHL side is no easy feat. Fair play to the lad!

 

[Diablo3]

I thought GB played well especially in the first. The gulf in class is massive, but USA showed us a lot of respect. Whistle is playing a blinder at the moment, I would have him starting ahead of Bowns.

To be honest considering the coaches they have I am suprised it is so delayed and not taking more shots. 0 goals in 11 is very poor even taking into account the opposition we have faced.
