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

[Non Player Canadiens]

It would be a super defensive league. Goalscoring would go down like it did between 2006 and 2016, but even worst.

interesting, how do you figure?

 

[Picaroon]

That is why expansion will hurt hockey even more


No offense to Nick at all but is he fast enough to skate with these guys the way that Canada flies

I feel like I saw some NHL edge stats the didn't just disprove the "Suzuki is slow" thing, but actually showed him being legit fast. He's just got that cerebral style.

I mean I get it. lol

I'm fairly certain I heard a sense of glee in Ray Ferarro's voice when Mcavoy crunched McDavid.

100% guys in the media read us and twitter accounts steal our memes.

Absolutely, I'm positive the news stole my joke about 2017 Valentine's Day when Michou was fired. That was my shit.

Found the new Andy meme

No Makar and Binnington in....we're toast.

Can’t help but wonder what a 15-20 teams NHL would look like. Product would be so damn good.

It was super easy to win Cups in the original 6 according to some ppl. lol

 

[Michelangelo]

Max is quoting things from our thread. Ummm

What did he say?

He's definitely got more foot speed than Mark Stone.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Scheifele over Cirelli. Thompson should have been on the team too. Tom Wilson over Marchand. My two cents.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

interesting, how do you figure?

Because the average player becomes more effective, which leaves less time and space. And that's exactly what has happened in the last 20 years, aside from the two recent expansions, the concentration of talent has gone way up.

The scoring has gone up since 2019 because of smaller goalie equipment. Without the goalie equipment change, we'd be in a second dead puck era.

 

[Kimota]

What did he say?

About this "not being an all-star game"

 

[HabbyGuy]

Criss de belle période de hockey ça WOW

Nobody in the world does it better than us when it comes to hockey by the way(Montréal).

So happy they all dropped the gloves at the start the boys are playing hard , hockey is back , I'm in heaven

Absolutely! Nothng compares to Montreal and it's atmosphere/passion. Nothing!

 

[Picaroon]

He's definitely got more foot speed than Mark Stone.

Without question. I edited in a link to his speed scores in my post. He's pretty much an elite skater by every measurable.

 

[MarkJ]

The atmosphere at the Bell Center is why every player should dream of playing here.

 

[overlords]

How much punishment is enough punishment for people who shovel out their cars and dump all the snow into the middle of the adjacent sidewalk?

 

[Kimota]

Scheifele over Cirelli. Thompson should have been on the team too. Tom Wilson over Marchand. My two cents.

Holly shit, just realised why on Earth isn't Scheifele there? That is beyond this stupid. They would need his determination and he always brings in during international games.

Basically what I feel watching Stone and Reinhart so far

 

[le_sean]

The Bergevin era killed the love for hockey in this city. The atmosphere tonight really feel like post lockout Habs tonight.

We can only hope we have a successful rebuild and the city is buzzing again in the near future.

Well to be fair it would have been like that in that Cup run.

But yeah, he killed hockey joy here

 

[le_sean]

No Makar and Binnington in....we're toast.

Still got the two best players in the world though. Time for MacKinnon to do something.

 

[Rapala]

Scheifele over Cirelli. Thompson should have been on the team too. Tom Wilson over Marchand. My two cents.

I'm fairly certain Hockey Canada will realize this roster is too old and make adjustments next year.
I can see maybe a Crosby and a Doughty as the only older returnees.

Scoring was non existent then because there is very little scoring now

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Alright, 2nd period!! Let's go!!

 

[Whitesnake]

Seeing how that game turned up to be....maybe Tom Wilson would not have been such a bad idea...

 

[sampollock]

Hopefully the guys take some lessons from this team when the world juniors play next year you bring your best scores
