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

[MarkovsKnee]

Harley looked like Canada’s best dman tonight to me. Binnington and a couple of the other Canadian D are just not good enough for this level.

He was our best D. He had a great game.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

we win monday and we're in. If we don't get it done in regulation against that finland line up then we deserve to go home. Honestly though, by bringing some "grit" and "grind" it's easier to match up against us. Also, Doughty has not played all year and they throw him out on the ice. I don't even know if he's top 6 if healthy all year.

some really questionable decisions. not brining scheifele is the most confusing to me and I cannot stand the guy.

Tom Wilson has 42 points in 54 games. Plays a hard game. He would have been perfect with Mcdavid.
Suzuki on the fourth line over Cirelli is an upgrade

Losing makar and Theodore does hurt tho. Even tho Hanley didnt play bad

 

[Banjo Cat]

Canada looked pretty soft. They need to shoot the puck more.

 

[Rapala]

Doughty was bad in general.
Yes Crosby gave away that puck but a AA goalie should have stopped both goals on Binnington

You mean the guy who set McDavid in for tour first goal?

 

[Skip Bayless]

Did the multiple cups help canada win?

Did Canada get destroyed by your beloved american team?

Pull your trousers up jabroni.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

If Sweden win in reg they go through right?

No, they would need Canada-Finland game to go to OT. If either Finland or Canada win in regulation, that team is through and Sweden is eliminated before they even play.

OMG Renault. His translation is basically him translating the question he just asked. What he does basically:"Don't you think there was no ego on your team, the guys were buying it". Player:"yea for sure there was no ego outthere". He translates:"He said there was no ego on their team, all the guys were buying into the team concept". Osti I would like to be paid for that job.

 

[Banjo Cat]

Its got nothing to do with the game or why we lost.

Media driven bullshit and I hate listen to it

No it doesn't, but booing the anthem and going on to lose makes us look ten times worse.

 

[Rapala]

How? Will they bench half their D? I doubt team USA purposely throw a game out in a 4 nations tournament. Professional players have too much pride. That’s like saying players would be in on losing intentionally for a tank. This is a platform to showcase for the Olympic.

They could always have an emotional let down after playing Canada. Sweden have some talented players we should probably expect their best game of the tournament. They don't have to throw the game to lose it.

 

[HabsCode]

We need to give programs to hockey in Canada . Don't care the cost , should be our national sport. Having 3 subpar goalies wearing Team Canada Jersey is embarassing.

Hockey in school would help. Teach all kids to skate. Less game in junior more training and development similar to the US program.

 

[Ezpz]

Gotta wonder if hockey Canada is actually that inept or if the owners wanted a clear USA advantage so Canada took lesser goalies and bottom sixers. Can't convince me Suzuki wasn't better than at least 7 Canadian forwards.

 

[LV426]

A sick and injured D doesn't help. We need Makar back at the very least.

 

[Rapala]

Yes. US will let them win if it means Canada is eliminated.

Canada just has to beat Finland in regulation to get in.

 

[Be a Hab]

No it doesn't, but booing the anthem and going on to lose makes us look ten times worse.

Seriously, get over it man

 

[Banjo Cat]

Seriously, get over it man

Get over it? That's the only post I have made about it.

makar is the big loss, but still...

Canada looked pretty soft. They need to shoot the puck more.

not sure if they were soft but a lot of guys had no legs. McDavid and Mackinnon up front and I think that's it. the rest looked like they had a piece of shin pad tape on the bottom of their blades.

 

[Kimota]

gee no Suzuki, Celebrini... and so many others, its just the old boys club as usual. Glad they lost, douchbags

I always had a love-hate relationship with Hockey Canada cause of that shit.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Cirelli and Hagel on team Canada is just insane.

Are we playing to win or what?

 

[Kimota]

I would do Caufield for Larkin tomorrow.

 

[Rapala]

No it doesn't, but booing the anthem and going on to lose makes us look ten times worse.

Bullshit. Booing the Anthem has absolutely jack shit to do with the outcome of this hockey game and gird your loins because they are going to boo the shit out of ours and it won't be muted...

If Sweden win in reg they go through right?

Yeah but it's a big if. Honestly, they aren't winning shit. It's going to be between Canada and Laine's team.

 

[Banjo Cat]

I didn't say it did. I said it makes you look stupid, especially if you end up losing. Of course they will boo ours, we did it first.

 

[Rapala]

Yeah it was all on us.

 

[HabsCode]

Not even sure they make it even if they win in reg. Canada/Fin would have to go OT too.

 

[Rapala]

I didn't say it did. I said it makes you look stupid, especially if you end up losing. Of course they will boo ours, we did it first.

Honestly the stupidity was in our roster selection for me and in nothing else. I was quite proud of that crowd and how they reacted truth be told.
