World Cup: 4 Nations Tournament- Team USA (2025)

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Slavin is our best player, prove me wrong

 

[AmericanDream]

Sooooooo damn close. I can't take this

 

[William H Bonney]

Criminal that Slavin will never win a Norris

 

[AmericanDream]

The amount of guys hurt or sick out there is not being appreciated. These dudes are fighting out there. This is amazing as is I can't imagine everyone well rested and doing this...much respect to all.

 

[William H Bonney]

Slavin is our best player, prove me wrong

Slavin, Eichel, and Helle are our best 3

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I appreciate the idea behind how the team was built, but we need some better execution offensively. Will be interesting to see what kind of turnover there is for the Olympics. Don't really see any of the 4th line returning.

 

[AmericanDream]

Good lord Slavin

I think there will be a decent amount of forward turnover, especially compared to defense and goalie

Really expect no change to D and Goaltending (obviously hope Q. Hughes and McAvoy are healthy, but that just pushes a couple guys to 7-8, nothing wholesale)

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Why is Brock Nelson on this team? I feel like he provides nothing of substance

I mean Canada essentially did the same thing we did. I have no problems with who we brought. The 4th line should be there for pure shut down reasons. They haven't played great no doubt but they brought Nelson and Kreider here for loyalty, leadership and big frames with speed. Not sure who should take there place next year, maybe Robertson and Tage...both don't inspire me though in a 4th line role. Or we just drop the 3rd line to the 4th and bring Robertson, Tage and Cole Caufield...

Right. But the bottom half of the lineup isn't really doing the heavy defensive work. I think the guys they brought were a worthy experiment. Just need more talent.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Grinder game now.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Roster selection was fine... doesn't mean the bottom guys can't be replaced/upgraded but that's to be expected.

Yeah, if you're going to assemble a muck and grind 4th line, they have to deliver that playr Seems like very little forechecking or zone time from that group all tournament.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Cmon Boldy!

 

[William H Bonney]

Hughes out for the final shift is tragic coaching

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Great play Miller.

 

[BelovedIsles]

I’m rooting for him, Hughes is weak as f***.

 

[AmericanDream]

Helle almost blew the damn game. Miller saved his ass

 

[William H Bonney]

These two teams always deliver great games. Hopefully we can close it out. 1996 was too f***ing long ago.

Good luck! Predictions for winner? Cheering for Canada i’ll take Point!

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Kreider flys off the bench and ends it.

 

[AmericanDream]

Doing this with Matthew Tkachuk at only 6 minutes of ice time is wild. This throws the lines off again

 

[William H Bonney]

Jesus that Canadian too many men was so egregious

Good luck! Predictions for winner? Cheering for Canada i’ll take Point!
