4 Nations Cup Discussion - Canada Wins

[ACC1224]

Maybe accountability does exist elsewhere.

No reason to think it doesn't exist everywhere.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Maybe accountability does exist elsewhere.

Is Connor banged up or something?
I wouldn’t be overly eager to sit him for Kreider.

You’re free to read the thread I quoted.

 

[arso40]

All of the top players looked toothless against Helle in the first game outside of that one McDavid rush.

Gotta hope they find a way to break through tonight.

Jarvis or Konecny, gotta make sure not to be a negative against your counterparts. Canada wants to make it our superstars against theirs.

Which should give us a leg up

Yes all threads are free but you didn't quote one, looks like some blogger, not sure who it is.

Must be from someone on my list, I don't see any on 'Accountability' . I don't believe any organization operates without accountability so I'd probably find the topic silly anyway.

Jarvis in for Konecny tonight. The 4th line was the big issue against the Fins but I would have stuck with the lines.

Hope Jarvis has it in him.

Really? Surprised there are any changes. Konecny must be too sick.

Talk of a number of players on every team dealing with illness.

Yeah I read that. Just trying to rationalize the lineup change.

 

[ULF_55]

1 - 0 Canada win with a Tkachuk own goal.

I'd be happy.

What if we lose?












My Dude...

We win and it just reaffirms our dominance.

We lose and it just sets up the redemption arc for the Olympics.

Been dying for international competition for forever. We all forgot how amazing it is.

Yeah I read that. Just trying to rationalize the lineup change.

Looks like the fact of while Jarvis wasnt great last time vs. the US, Konecny has been flat out the worst forward on the team (possibly due to illness) in soft usage so the change was made.

I would have kept the lines intact myself as its probably tough to find any sort of chemistry in ashort tourney to begin with but this is who we are going with now.

Yeah agreed, end of the day it's not that big a deal.

FWIW

Leaf Nation could be cheering for Seth Jarvis just like they cheer for Marner for Canada as Carolina used Leafs 1st round drift pick gifted them when Leafs greenhorn GM blew his budget and then was forces to dump Marleau contract at the expense of that 1st round pick. .

The same can be said for Travis Konecny who was also an original Leafs draft pick traded to gain more picks by Leafs the same naive GM to bring in Travis Dermott, Jeremy Bracco & Martin Dzerikels instead.

Leaf Nation fans could actually have Marner, Jarvis and Travis Konecny all Leafs by rights playing in this tournament for Canada,

How cool would that have been?

Well, good in theory but I don’t think Jarvis or Konecny are Team Canada level players so ultimately frustrating…

 

[SprDaVE]

Thank god they aren't doing penalty shots. If this goes long, I might have to miss it since I have my own beer league game late tonight

Neither is Mitch. He might be more suited for the Olympics where the ice surface is larger and there are more PPs and less physicality. We'd have been better off with Schiefele, Wilson, and Hyman in for Marner, Jarvis and Konecny tonight. Hopefully Bedard, Celebrini, Fantilli and Guenther can also make the Olympic team next year.

What if we lose?

To cope with a loss, I will use the fact that Jordan Binnington was in net as an excuse, whether it's his fault or not.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

We need Canada to win this game so badly.

 

[fahad203]

6-1 for Canada. Deal with it

Masters: Matthews, Marner confront winner-take-all demons in Boston | TSN

Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner have lost all six winner-take-all games they've played in the Stanley Cup playoffs. One of the Leafs superstars will experience what it's like to come out on top in that environment on Thursday night in Boston as Matthews leads the United States into the 4...

One of them can feel like a winner.
The other is a loser.

Why not? Other posters will do the same thing with Marner.

9/11 sucked

GO CANADA GO

Being a Leafs fan can be hard when even the little glimpse of success come across as negatives still.
