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.

    • He's a good feeney spin move that I never remember big money having. Plus I had forgotten that Charles is Panthers all-time sack leader. I havnt got a read on nic, he's awful young and talented. He talks about effort and wants to stop the run. I need to see him in live action, then maybe its nickname or former panther name time for me.
    • Not trying to be melodramatic but from a corporate standpoint there is a big push for data security and privacy pertaining to personal information.  Someone mentioned in the other thread about suing the kid but the only place there is possible money is him suing the Falcons organization for negligence related to the leaked personal information.   At best, Shedur makes some added bank and the Falcons look like fools while this circus plays out. At worst, he’ll get free credit monitoring for a year or two. 
    • I met Shaq at an OTA---if you recall, he was absent until the end due to Washington being on the quarter system. He was very nice--soft spoken--but I was thinking "Linebacker?" As an OLB in a 4-3, he was small.  I did not see 6'0"--I saw 5'10-5'11 tops and maybe 220.  When we converted to a 3-4, that moved him inside and, in my opinion, shortened his career.  He just does not have the frame for ILB duties.  If you watch enough film, you will see that Shaq often was late getting to the hole and tackled from the side a lot.  Morgan and Luke were in the hole square with the LOS and talking on blocks and RBs head on.  Had Shaq met pulling guards and fullbacks in the hole like that, he would not have lasted 4 years. He had a very frail frame.
