4 Nations Cup Discussion

Careful now... don't want to rile up the Carney supporters in here.

Not a chance.

Don’t worry. We’ll have Makar back Monday and likely Thursday. He’s a massive difference-maker.

I guess we have to scratch Harley then? Too bad, I thought he was excellent.

It's funny how orange snowflakes can force feed politics into everything. Maybe talk about hockey.

US played solid D in their own zone

they hardly gave much time and space. The only one chance they gave McDavid broke through and scored. After Mack and McDavid were basically kept to the outside.

sorely missed Makar and his offensive game from the backend too.

Final gonna be good

2 of the top 6 in the NHL for goals scored the last 3 seasons:
Point
Reinhart

Hope they show up soon. The biggest highlight tonight for Reinhart was losing his man on the first goal and Points was being fed wide open on the PP and choking out a non chance.

Kinda hilarious that Reinhart has some voodoo 30% shooting magic on Florida for 2 seasons and immediately loses it now

Hopefully he gets back into form on Monday

 

[All Mod Cons]

It absolutely meant something to everyone involved in the game. This kind of intensity is only seen in the playoffs

13.25 for Sammy Pahlsson

Auston generally scores at a slightly higher clip then Sammy.

 

[wingman75]

Matthews was an absolute force out there in the D zone. Not much offensively but gave McDavid and Canada no offence. Really impressive game from him defensively

Matthews can do one or the other. Play amazing D, or score some goals. Does that make him great? Not sure, but I know the USA doesn't need him to score goals, the Leafs do.

I was underwhelmed with McDavid as well. Nice burst of speeds in the neutral zone, also scored a nice goal, but other than that completely invisible. This team sucks and it was clearly manufactured by a group of coaches with obvious bias for their own players. I mean Hagel, Cirelli, and Sanheim should be nowhere near a Canadian team.

 

[arso40]

He was better today, but still wasn't anywhere close to his capabilities.

and that should be scary cause like I said he looked the best of the 3 of them

 

[PromisedLand]

Who did Marner pass that too?

he makes boneheaded plays more often than not in important games. almost a decade of us watching him and we still get shocked LMAO

 

[shaner8989]

Missing Makar is tough. Need him back

Binnington needs to not let in garbage goals either

wait I was told yesterday that sports ARE political... and snowflakes lol nice appropriation. The left can't meme.

I think you have to remember this is the first experience for most of these guys on Canada and it's a different animal from the playoffs. Having your country watching you is the ultimate pressure cooker....and no one feels it more than Canadians.

Some are handling it better than others.

Absolutely nowhere near this team jt couldn’t make this team?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Canada has no chemistry… Cooper’s doing a poor job IMO

 

[PromisedLand]

Another moment that’s too big for him. When they said he was out there with the goalie out I wondered why.

the more hilarious part was that he was apparently net front which I found to be absolutely hilarious. dude avoids physicality like I avoid broccoli LMAO

Especially when you Have Schieflle sitting at home

More disappointed than shocked I'd say. The play there was to take it around the net and reset. Lots of time and space over there... granted, if he was on the ice with Matthews, that was prob at min a shot on goal.

So many possiblities too.

The first thing you change when things get tough is stack Mack and McDavid IMO. Just try it FFS.

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

JT played well this season, but I probably wouldn't have taken him. Too slow in my opinion. The fact that Sheifele or Logan Thompson isn't on the team is a travesty.

 

[PromisedLand]

This felt like a Leafs game 7, Canada got absolutely shutdown

Tbh this was the worst case scenario for Leafs fans. We lost, Marner was horrible and so was Matthews

0 positives

I thought Matthews was pretty good. He was heavy on the puck and on the boards both in the o-zone and d-zone and excellent defensively.

Trudeau was literally at the game. Carney was posting on social media while watching the game (with an american beer and american Team Canada jersey no less). This game was all about politics. It wasn't conceived that way, but the timing made it that way.

Head scratching omission.

It was always projection my friend, the more you know!

None of what you wrote magically makes it political, it's still a game dude.
