4 Nations Cup Discussion - Canada Wins

[Stephen]

McDavid a man possessed.

Imagine McDavid taking a defensive back seat on Team Canada and giving big ups to Bennett and Hagel for bringing the intensity.

It's so much fun to cheer for McDavid

Oilers' fans are lucky

 

[All Mod Cons]

Funny listening to all the deep thoughts of Marner being at the blueline when McDavid was standing at the blueline for the opening goal.

Mindless froth will continue to be sad.

Take no notice of them. Your guy is getting paid.

 

[DarkKnight]

Finland can't play D.

Deep as a bird bath.

Same for Nathan Mac. First ballot HoFer.

 

[SprDaVE]

Finland can't play D.

Lost their best player and playing a couple depth NHL quality players/defenseman. Outside of Barkov and Rantanen, I'm not sure the rest would be on Canada or US teams.

 

[Zybalto]

Finland body language is telling.

They look crushed.

 

[ToneDog]

We have to go all in on McDavid 20% x 7 years

He might take less than Matthews and Marner to play for the Leafs.

 

[Zybalto]

Take note that US were going life and death against the fins for 2 periods.

 

[Rare Jewel]

So, if Canada wins in reg, does Sweden have anything to play for tonight?

 

[HolyCrap]

Is it just me or does this board always take forever to load or refresh? Lol

It’s not you. Since the update it’s slower and we have no live threads. It’s going downhill fast.

 

[Confucius]

Can’t see him playing for less than 11…

 

[Zybalto]

So, if Canada wins in reg, does Sweden have anything to play for tonight?

Nope.

 

[SprDaVE]

Win or lose in this tournament, one crazy roster decision is having both Sanheim and Konecny on the roster. How does a best on best tournament roster feature two mid level Philadelphia Flyers? It just doesn't look right.

Sanheim wouldn't be playing if Theodore wasn't injured I don't think. He's pretty underrated though.

Konecny, Jarvis and Bennett probably shouldn't be in over Sheifele.

Nope. Just pride. Might be all-star level efforts.

 

[BallardEra]

I wouldn't read much into that. Only matters what happens on Thursday night.

 

[Zybalto]

Sanheim wouldn't be playing if Theodore wasn't injured I don't think. He's pretty underrated though.

Konecny, Jarvis and Bennett probably shouldn't be in over Sheifele.

All lessons to learn for 2026.

 

[leafsfan5]

limit Makar's minutes and let's get this to thursday

 

[Stephen]

Konecny, Jarvis and Bennett probably shouldn't be in over Sheifele.

Yeah, Konecny is definitely the Rob Zamuner. Sanheim is fine I guess but Dobson, Bouchard would definitely give this team a little more offensive octane and more of a high end feel.

 

[BallardEra]

Finland body language is telling.

Meh.

Laine will rally the boys with a quick game of Fortnite between periods.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Nope.

That's what I thought. Not going to lie; I wanted to see Nylander in that kind of game

 

[NJG]

Hopefully Binnington can get the shutout as well and get his confidence up, he and we need it right now. He hasn’t looked great at all yet.

 

[fahad203]

You can clearly tell who's a big gamer and who isn't

McDavid really is on a different level. I always thought it's because he's just skilled, but you clearly see the will

He's literally taking the torch from Crosby here

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Love the way Makar walked the line with about 5 minutes left in the period. Two Finns right on him so he chips it to the far boards where he has no teammates. He knows he can retrieve the puck and have 2 guys beat and even if they deflect his self pass he has the wheels to recover.
His skill, vision and confidence is off the charts.

Nope game will be meaningless
