4 Nations Cup Discussion

[Leafs98]

This tournament format is more unforgiving than the gretsky hrlinka u18. I would have preferred play 2 teams and have a semis.

Memorial Cup format would have been good.

Nylander was pretty much Nyalnder. Created some offense and made a couple nice defensive plays, and also made some terrible plays.

Might have won it in OT if they called the too many men on Canada.

Willy had mixed emotions in this one.

Nylander is currently the highest goal scoring Canadian born player in the NHL this year, while playing for team Sweden.

He took a penalty on CDN first goal, and was directly responsible for poor defensive / give away on another.

The Calgary, Alberta born player played a significant role in Team Canada's win,

William Nylander literally won that game for Canada. It was an outstanding sabotage. MvP

It lacked the feel of a typical international hockey game.

It lacked any meaning. That said I will watch the next Canada game to see if it stirs me anymore

Sanheim in for Shea. Another big body, is he smooth skating too ? Some of these players I dont know much on since I watch way too much Leafs lol.

The game I enjoyed the most in that series was the round robin Czech/Canada game, that ended up 1-0 Czech. Great play after great play by forwards and defencemen on both teams and some excellent saves by both goalies. The only thing that could have been better was the outcome.

yeah, I've conflated the 2 games - it was a long time ago. That 1-0 game was the all time great one

I think you are short selling how important it is for these guys to suit up for their country.

The Cup will always be #1 for most, but most of these guys have never had a chance to play for their country at this level.

Beautiful, but God I hate that drive!

Same. It's why I always take VIA to MTL when I go now. Quick and easy and no B.S. if booked ahead of time its pretty reasonable too!

The next gimmick should be North America vs Europe or World. Get Russia back in there.


7 game series

He’s okay but if I had to pick one guy I hoped we would never need to insert it would be Sanheim.

I need a vehicle when I'm there and there is typically 4 of us, train isn't feasible.

How were Nylanders stats by comparison?
Leaf fans don't seem to have much of an opinion on his play last night......weird.

Heres a link to Monepucks page which visually shows the numbers. Too much work typing it out earlier.
