Finland getting squished

 

[Patrik26]

Tkachuks are gonna get stars of the game.

 

[Andre Palot]

Erik Haula is on team USA?

That's a John Scott moment if I ever saw one.

Finland getting squished

 

[Patrik26]

Wischusen telling everyone there's 6 minutes left in the 3rd period. Come on Bob, really? Game.

 

[devilsblood]

It is difficult rooting for four Rags, the asshole brothers and McAvoy. I'm trying tho.

I don't have an issue with the Tkachuk's.

But you need to compartmentalize. You can get back to hating these guys soon enough.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Watching the Tkachuk brothers play together makes me bummed for Jack that Quinn got hurt and couldn't play. The Hughes brothers will have their opportunity though. Hopefully all three of them will be apart of the next tournament.

All 3 should be in the Olympics next year

Erik Haula is on team USA?

That's a John Scott moment if I ever saw one.

He's on Finland.

 

[NJersey]

What’s with all the tkachuk hate?

 

[Satans Hockey]

If the US wins on Saturday in regulation vs Canada they are automatically in the final no matter what happens in the Sweden game on Monday.

USA would have 6 points, Finland could max out at 6 but USA would have the tie breaker for winning this game and then Canada could only max out at 5 points so yeah go beat Canada in regulation on Saturday night and they are automatically in the final no matter what.

So the only question is how to get a third line going and the D pairings.

Putting Hanifan with Fox and slavin/Faber have been better.

Conner, Miller trochek are mostly no shows.

Boldy, Nelson and Larkin have been ok but so clearly inferior when you watch the to lines.

 

[Patrik26]

What’s with all the tkachuk hate?

Hate them on the other team. Love them on my team. I'd take either, or both, on the Devils.

 

[billingtons ghost]

What’s with all the tkachuk hate?

It has been well earned.

 

[Satans Hockey]

What’s with all the tkachuk hate?

Matthew I understand cause he always bothers Nico. Brady I don't recall ever having any incidents with him.

 

[Bcap88]

Mathews/hughes/guentzel were the best line tonight I thought

Tkachuk’s got going once they put each other to together

The d pairings needed a lot of baby sitting and the bottom 6 was meh

 

[devilsblood]

Boldy over Brady?

Matthew I understand cause he always bothers Nico. Brady I don't recall ever having any incidents with him.

Brady even had the moment against us a couple weeks ago where he said "no penalty" which I thought was admirable.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Brady always has shenanigans at the end of games which is why folks don’t like him

With having said that, would love Him on my team

 

[Satans Hockey]

The NHL really needs to get away from ESPN. TNT puts on almost an hour post game show last night meanwhile ESPN can't wait to get to the absolutely can't miss Gonzaga vs San Francisco college basketball game.

 

[billingtons ghost]

Matthew I understand cause he always bothers Nico. Brady I don't recall ever having any incidents with him.

Didn't Brady pull Jack down in the all star game horse collar style and injure his shoulder?

There was a bit of a debate here that Brady wouldn't be much of an upgrade over Palat on the Hughes Bratt line because those guys will make anyone good.

I think Brady would be at a bit of an upgrade.

Didn't Brady pull Jack down in the all star game horse collar style and injure his shoulder?

Didn't watch it but I kind of remember that.

I forgot about that but yeah that play was weird, it looked like such a nothing thing and jack went down flailing. Idk, didn't these guys basically grow up together? I thought they were really good friends so I really think that was just a freak thing.

 

[Bcap88]

They should never bring the all star game back tbh

 

[Billdo]

Who the hell said this? That's insane. I don't even remember that but whoever said that should be banned. I do remember the argument being Tkachuk v Bratt. Not Palat. Sneaky P sucks and either of the Tkachuks would be a MASSIVE upgrade.

For a minute it kind of made sense as Palat was performing fairly well on that line. It's has since blown to bits.

If they gave us a 4 nations tourney that involved Latvia Germany Switzerland and Slovakia it would be a million times better then the ASG.

It probably cost Jack a 100 point season. Having had 2 years to cool off about it, I would attribute it to Tkachuk being stupid and messing around more than outright malice though.

It really was a weird play...

Is it too soon to call the Tkachuks and Eichel line the TET Offensive?
