4 Nations Cup Discussion

[Sypher04]

I really hope this tournament serves as the moment Crosby opens up to finishing his career elsewhere. I’ve loved watching him as a Penguin, but I want to see him playing meaningful hockey his last few years in the league. Playoff hockey.

He’s still such a good player

Redmond is a Leaf fan

A juvenile mustache fan too apparently

I didn't love Coopers personnel management in the 3rd and OT. There were a couple guys I would have liked to get more ice time. In the end, they got the win, and it was only in OT because of poor goaltending so nothing to gripe about too much. Anxious to see Saturday's game to better assess. Hopefully just a slight sprain for Theodore.

If the playoffs were 3-on-3, he'd be a playoff performer. Sadly, what you'll get in the playoffs is the Marner you saw for the first 60 minutes of this game.

Yeah, I'm not overlooking the fact that it was 3 on 3. It was a high skill play nonetheless.

So, what’s the format exactly here?

Everybody plays each other once, and then we have sort of medal games?

Cooper just gushing over Marner.

Others will argue Henderson 72 and Lemieux 87. A case can be made for all.

I will always remember Kariya's goal where Lemieux let the pass go through his legs.

It was the 2-0 goal but pretty much won the gold medal

Only top 2 teams advance to the finals.

Those two easily over Sid's but no argument that one was huge as well, #3?

All due respect to the Gawwdd Crosby, that drop pass ain't being talked about at all if it wasn't for a picture perfect snipe from Mitch. He needed a moment in his life - so Great for him

And a great night for Leaf fans. CANADA wins, and a LEAF wins it - making MTL'ers choke on their early Leaf hate for Matty and Will. Hahaaaaaaa

 

[Cleetus]

well hopefully Saturday will be a great game, I enjoyed this one as well!

Cooper just gushing over Marner.

The look he gave the reporter after that stupid question was priceless.

Marner led all players on both teams for 5v5 minutes and got the start in OT.

Pretty sure he loves Marners game. All the coaches seem to....

Henderson scored the game winning goal in game 6.

And the game winning goal in game 7.

And the game winning goal in game 8.

Much as the others were spectacular single GWGs, I really don't see much of a case for them by comparison.
