This was never billed as an All Star game.

Nobody ever suggested it was?

Your 2nd paragraph say's it all....

Ok, but that has nothing to do with being a fair weather fan...

The players didn't really seem to endorse it either. They just barely lifted the cup and passed it on to the next guy.

I think it was ok.. Its not the Stanley Cup with all its history and the grueling experience it is to win it .

They had the medals, the Song and then the cup on some display... They passed it around.. to me it was enough

I'll get grilled for this, but I think mackinnon is the best in the game right now. He brings a physical element that I don't think McDavid ever will. McDavid obviously is more skilled, but Mack just has this bull in a china shop ability that's so unique.

If I was in game 7 and had to pick one guy to get it done, I would pick Mack. Who ever would have thought he would reach this level with the way his career started?

I dunno about being the best, but I have some humble pie to eat pertaining to your second point.

After 3 seasons I thought MacKinnon would be an RNH type, not bad 2nd line centre. But the way he exploded has me eating crow and I'm loving every minute of it

Yup. Knew it was Fox as soon as the goal was replayed, when everyone was clowning on Matthews. That being said, it is fun to clown on Matthews.

Well, his career started pretty well with a ton of records, calder, great playoffs, etc. Then something happened. Hard to know exactly and memories fade. I remember things being pretty toxic with Roy as the coach, and the team kind of fell apart. Mackinnon was obviously part of that but he was super young as well. I looked at his Wikipedia and it says he got a sports psychologist prior to 2017-18 season which seemed to really help. You never know what someone is going through, but I'm glad he figured it out.

I can't believe people still haven't figured out that the more you get angry at Trump stuff, the more powerful he gets.

It's been 10 f***ing years. Just f***ing ignore him.

I'm so sad this tournament got tainted with all this politics bullshit. Can we please move on already?

 

[Micklebot]

Good breakdown, Matthews put in a tough spot by fox, but I'll still blame Matthews because, why not...

Folllowing.......

All the people that said Canada was too old, wasn't skilled enough & lost faith in the team I guess were incorrect. Sens fans should be really proud of how well Senator players played in this tournament, Tkachuk was a beast, Sanderson played well & scored in the championship game & Matinpalo played well. Ullmark was okay & really the only guy they need to get going for this home stretch drive for the playoffs.
