HF Habs: 4 Nations Face-Off: Canada beats Finland 5-3; advances to Finals vs USA

[Ozmodiar]

Call me biased, but I think Suzuki and Caufield could both help their teams more than a few of those guys.

It would be tempting to put Hughes and Caufield together, but …

Caufield would have had to crack the top 9 to make it. It’s clear these teams want a checking line.

Hughes Matthews Connor
Tkachuk Eichel Tkachuk
Boldy Miller Guentzel

So many lefties on the wing tho.

Maybe watching McDavid dance around Caufield scared them off.

 

[Picaroon]

Surprised the Jarvis pick isn't getting more flack. Suzuki over him 10/10.

That US team is gonna run through this tournament I think.

 

[Karma Police]

I am surprised but at the same time, I hope this brings a fire under Suzuki and Caufield to explode for the rest of the season. (Not saying they aren't, just extra motivation)

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

You guys are gonna be pissed when you watch Armia play the best hockey of his life for Team Finland

He has played well all season but doesn't have the offensive numbers you want to see.

That defence is going to get torched.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It's kind of crazy that Armia is playing in this dumb tournament, but Suzuki & Caufield won't be.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I thought this was next year lol

Sweden looks really good on D as usual

It is next year. It's February 2025. That's next year, but it's only 2 months away.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Lehkonen and Armia, baby!

Kotkaniemi’s 2 boat anchors!!!
He really dodged a bullet by not being selected.

Oh, and I’d like word with several of you who frequently commented in that old KK thread.

Some Carolina fans were actually suggesting that KK was going to make it. I was, like, uh, no, he won't.

Different teams with different depth. Caufield will make the Olympic team in 2 years.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

So the leaked roster for Canada was 100% right. Lol

No Suzuki, but Montembeault makes it.

 

[Hannibal]

Is that really the best team we could ice lol?

Beside the top en players, the rest is meh

 

[MarkovsKnee]

USA's roster. No Caufield.

 

[Hannibal]

USA roster is stacked. Skill, size, grit.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

USA roster is stacked. Skill, size, grit.

Canada's roster is actually small.

 

[habsfan891]

Jesus what a dogshit d and goaltending for Canada the US will probably destroy us

In comparison to USA, it's a small roster with only Bennett really providing a tough style game.

On paper, canada iced a terrible team.

USA is stacked as f***

This really puts into context how good those Team Canada teams were from 2010-2016 compared to now.

 

[TT1]

NYR is desperately trying to trade Kreider yet he's picked for team USA, lol

Terrible team......what are you talking about lol

 

[Hannibal]

Terrible team......what are you talking about lol

Well, the top end player are amazing, but the rest of the lineup, defence and goalie included, its not the best we could ice.

I think back in the day Canada could field a team B that was better than this. Hockey Canada/Quebec need to get their heads out of their asses.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

NYR is desperately trying to trade Kreider yet he's picked for team USA, lol

0 assist in 21 games is wild for a player like him.

 

[Hacketts]

Hopefully this pisses Nick & Cole off, and they can light it up.

Team SUOMI
