What's up with Rantanen, after watching him with the Canes and team Finland he looks slow and hesitant,

hard to believe he is a 100 point guy.  Did that trade break him?

Yeah, I noticed, too. He looked very much like he has since coming to Carolina.

My aves buddy told me last night this is just how he looks. Slow and plodding along and you look up he had three points. He told me to have patience and Moose will be fine.

US giving Finland a serious whipping 6-1 with 6 minutes left in the 3rd.

Finland gave the US everything they could handle for 40 minutes. But, the Fins are a severely depleted team missing their best defensemen, and can only hold on for so long.

The Fins PP is a 5-forward set- no D-men. First time I've seen that.

One of the announcers said there are only 11 Finnish D-men in the entire NHL, and the best 3 are all injured and not playing. And the first goal of the game goes to.... you guessed it, a fill-in Finnish D-man with 1 goal  to his name this NHL season.

Also has Jacob Slavin evens out 

Nope. Slavin is a great d-man, don't get me wrong, but with hockey douches like Kreider, Trocheck, Fox, the Tkafukoff brothers, and JT Miller.....

I'm not pulling for Canada, either, so there ya go.

    • I mean, yes, there is a difference between looking at a box score and watching film.  But PFF has a big subjective aspect to some of their grades.  That's how you get a 2/4 being better than 3/5 with a TD.  You aren't using stats at that point or factual events, but subjective analysis of plays.   And it's not like it is the same subjective analysis applying across all the players.   Same guy grading BY's incompletions (which are putting him over the top) isn't grading everyone else's incompletions and completions.  So it's different subjective takes/viewpoints applied.  There is no way everyone at PFF views grading out a play the same.  Then it all dumps into the same spreadsheet.  Hit the sort button.  Sometimes I feel it gets really weird and and collective data starts saying some weird stuff that just isn't true.   
    • Yeah, Sanders had a very nice debut preseason performance but the folks acting like he's arrived based on that performance are getting way out ahead of themselves.
    • I won't be surprised if Graham disappoints. Maybe not outright bust but never lives up to his draft status. The more I watched him at Michigan the more I came away impressed by the other Michigan DT. I think he might be the real player. Usually when you have two high level prospects in the same college unit one of them ends up getting fraud checked in the NFL as being largely carried by the other guy. Peppers and Ryan Sims at UNC comes to mind. Lavar Arrington and Courtney Brown at Penn State, etc.
