4 Nations Faceoff

[Zeeker]

I'm fine with the people who criticize my disgust with an athlete putting everything behind their maximizing money regardless of how it effects the team's ability to win games.

If that's a tough guy act, so be it.

It says more about their values than mine.

Maybe that's yours too?

Or are those who take hometown discounts losers? I seem to remember a QB named Brady who did that for years. Think Dobson wants to be the highest paid defender in the league or win the amount of rings Brady did?

My criticism is simple. If a father teaches his children that seeking maximum money is the be all and end all, they've failed as a father, and I STAND BY THAT.

Tough enough for you?

I personally don’t care either way, but maybe bring the passion to that thread rather than trolling the “noobs” (that poster has been here three years, not that that should matter anyway)

If that's trolling then it's kind of silly to call for one to be a tough guy, don't you think?

 

[doublechili]

It's looking like it could be Kreider - Nelson - Trocheck as a line tonight.

I'm going to be rooting for Chris Kreider.

On his first shift, Nelson should pat Binnington on the head. If that doesn't get him off his game, Kreider can just steamroll him.

[Throttle]

Get a early goal on Binnington and doubt will creep in.

 

[Big L]

I don’t know dick about singing, but that Canadian anthem was bad.

 

[gordie43]

Yeah that was rough

 

[The Lighthouse]

Having the ref say "get ready for an epic battle" before dropping the first puck is cringe

 

[Big L]

I just don’t get how anyone could pick Canada with Binnington in net

Having the ref say "get ready for an epic battle" before dropping the first puck is cringe

Yeah that was really dumb

 

[GOLFWANG]

Nelson is playing like he has been playing for us soft and slow, he should have won that bettle to the puck but didn't two times he is on the ice and gave them good chances

 

[Big L]

US got their feet under them last 10 minutes there. Gettin the train rollin

 

[islesfan3913]

I would do unspeakable things to get Brady Tkachuk here (or just trade Dobson to Ottawa for him )

 

[Bones45]

He’s been invisible in the series because of the other talent around him.

He stands out on the Isles cuz we have a team of 3rd liners

 

[Bones45]

I don’t know what these guys are talking about. Who gassed them up.

Tkachuk. “This is like a game 7 or better than that”

What are you talking about? This is a setup by the NHL to have the US play Canada in the finals. Both teams are stacked. It’s a one game “final”.

It’s an exhibition. It means nothing.

What’s not to get? Clearly the players and many fans feel differently than you do

 

[Arsenalogist24]

Ottawa boys giving USA the lead

Typical Rag with an awful penalty

Isles hockey will be back soon.

Sorry you’re not enjoying this but to me this is being played exactly like a Stanley Cup game

 

[GOLFWANG]

terrible D by Brock Nelson

was a terrible turnover first though

 

[periferal]

People who think Brock Nelson is showing well at this tournament...


Are you in denial because he's an Islander or just don't know hockey?


The nicest thing youl could say about him is that he's been a step behind.

 

[Arsenalogist24]

Adam Fox too. New York baby

He’s playing like he wants to go home ASAP - hopefully home being Minnesota

 

[GOLFWANG]

Nelson is only getting slower and he takes a while to get his shot off too.

he had a great career here but doesn't belong on this USA team imo.

 

[periferal]

Nelson somehow lowering his trade value to the league...While simultaneously increasing his contract value to Lou.

 

[Green]

Brock getting killed on Twitter, trade value plummeting

 

[BMOK33]

Just live bet Canada, too easy money if you ask me. They could lose but I just feel they've been better all game once again like the last game. They just keep finding ways though to make it hard on themselves.

Why are you getting worked up about a nothing exhibition game, then?
