4 Nations Face Off - Feb 12-20

[jkrdevil]

Why do they keep bringing up the 1996 World Cup? Literally half of the target audience for this game wasn’t alive then. And most of the rest don’t give a shit.

I swear, ESPN deliberately chooses the dumbest possible story lines to tout for their coverage.

It’s the same building, the GM played on the team, the Tkachuk’s dad played on the team (and started a line brawl in the prelim game and got ejected from the final game). It was also a fight filled and physical set of games.

No way we make it through this game without binnington becoming unhinged, right? He's gonna swing at someone sooner or later

Most likely a Tkachuk.

 

[Saugus]

That was a good shift for Jack. Much better puck touches and he created a chance.

 

[Whaddagoal]

First good plays by jack

 

[Satans Hockey]

Nice camera angle almost missed a goal

 

[JimEIV]

Jack looks like he fears for his life

 

[youryeah]

Jack looks like he fears for his life

he's gotta be one of the smaller guys on either team right?

 

[Whaddagoal]

Between him and marchand...

Speed is negated quite a bit and physicality is, well, a given.

That should be the goal. Make him uncomfortable and unhinged

Jacks not able to get anything going, a lot of that is due to one, his line is just ass at the moment, and USA's defense has some grenade handling going on. I saw on 3 shifts for him, he was ready to go for a chance against, and McAvoy, then Hanifin, and then Matthews, just could not get the puck to him. Either they waited too long, bobbled it and couldn't get it to him, or they made a weak attempt.

Also, no PP for him is a joke.

Cmon I like jack but he is a boy amongst men

 

[MadDevil]

Between him and marchand...

Point too. Although both those guys play bigger than their size.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Jack looks like he fears for his life

He needs to keep watch as he is a big target out there.

 

[Patrik26]

That should be the goal. Make him uncomfortable and unhinged

A light dusting of snow should do.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Point too. Although both those guys play bigger than their size.

That is true, yup

 

[Killing Joke]

Brock Faber really f***ing sucks. He should not be playing over Sanderson or Luke.

 

[Bleedred]

Did they just play American Jesus by Bad Religion? I couldn't hear. They cut it off to plug something after what sounded like the opening riff.

 

[Satans Hockey]

To be a tree hugging hippie for a moment but what an absolute waste it is to keep giving out these lanyards with lights every game up there. Just an absolute unnecessary waste.

 

[Andre Palot]

The best

You mean the best thing about Sweden? lol

it certainly isn't ABBA

 

[Patrik26]

it certainly isn't ABBA

I disagree.

 

[Killing Joke]

Jacks back to being fine and driving play. Matthews and Guentzel are not good right now, even with the goal Jake is not playing well.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Cmon I like jack but he is a boy amongst men

Did you guys also watch the best American born player ever and say stuff like this because he was small?

 

[Andre Palot]

I disagree.

Okay, yeah if I was a teenager in the 70s that would be a poster on my wall. Yowie wowie

Which would be replaced by a photo of Suzanna Hoffs by the time the 80s came around

 

[Whaddagoal]

I am hoping a light bulb goes off in Jacks head and he takes something big away from a game like this and figures out how to enhance his impact in games like this one.

All the variety of stars playstyles in this USA team, he can learn a lot. Watching those older big game players
