HF Habs: 4 Nations Face-Off: Canada beats Sweden 4-3 (OT)

I think at this level, you learn a lot about the real value of each player. I don't think Reinhart scales very well here - at least not playing with McDavid. And I think Suzuki belongs on this team. He has big game IQ. He has to play with a few incomplete players in Montreal, but he'd be better with Mcdavid than Reinhart is. Heck Celebrini would be as well. Marner belongs with McDavid pretty well.

Hagel-Cirelli-Konecky are defensively effective but I hope they replace Konec with Bennett against the US. They need to be more of presence on the ice.

Crosby is the key player again, we'll need to preserve his energy at the Olympics for the big games.
 
Canada’s blue line will be dominant in 4-5 seasons with the kids coming up. And with Celebrini + Bedard + McKenna, we will see Canada shine for a while in the pros.

Goalies do suck.

A little more of a disjointed period. Not surprising as these guys have had like 2 practices. I think that’s why some very talented players were left off the roster replaced by guys that play regularly together

Marner has been inconsequential and invisible, though. He's in peak playoff form.
 
Yeaaaa. I look forward to seeing the US tomorrow. I’m getting ahead of myself, but I can’t see 🇨🇦 beating the US in Boston in a winner take all with this D and goaltending
Hope I’m wrong
They have duds too. I mean Kreider, the old Isles guy…and they lost Quinn Hughes, arguably their most potent D.
