4 Nations Tournament

[HisIceness]

Great win by the US. Fun game. There are some folks that say he ain't what he used to be but Slavin is still such a gosh darned defensive God.

I can admit I was wrong when I said Slavin had taken a step back. Turns out he's still a baller, err pucker, when he's not "babysitting" others

Good thing i’m a dual citizen born in America who was only pretending to cheer for Canada!

Slavin to anyone who steps foot in his zone and Crosbos Canada win streak

The Slavin pairing finished with just under 26 minutes, both were +3 on the night, and most importantly, they were out there in the final minutes of a 2-1 game and it was Slavin’s defensive play that allowed Faber to get the puck up to Larkin, who got to to Guenztal for the ENG.

Slavin should have been a star

They were singing his praises on the broadcast basically the whole 3rd period, saying he should get more Norris votes as probably the best defensive d-man in the league

Don't worry next week when the Canes play they'll forget all about him

What a fun day after a stressful week. Love you Jerks!

Note: I hope you take all our Murica memes in stride. We realize we are absurd

These are absurd times. You've got to have a little fun, right?

 

[Canes]

Fun start to the game but other than a few players the hate isn't actually there. I wish I could say the rest of the game was riveting even if we won but meh…

Just the nature of “best on best” tournaments

Werenski , this years Norris finalist favorite
played 13 minutes. Slavin is so f***ing good

 

[Borsig]

our goal song should have been america f*** yeah.

Slavin doing slavin things this whole game

 

[robbieberns]

that performance merits a We Need To Talk About Jaccob Slavin main board thread

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

I really think we should try Nikishin on his off hand side here and pair him with Slavin. These games show how damn good he is when he doesn't have to carry a pairing by himself as he's essentially been doing ever since we let Dougie walk. Don't get me wrong I still love me some Burns and he was rock solid his first year here but he's definitely been well past his prime his entire time here. Natural with his age. Slavin with an elite partner could be an absolute game changer for us, and I do think Nikishin's style fits with Slavin's perfectly. I know Rod doesn't like it but it makes sense to try. I think Nikishin can handle playing on his off hand side without really missing a beat.

 

[robbieberns]

Rather just go Morrow with Slavin than ask Nikishin to go off hand

 

[Brock Anton]

The man put prime McDavid and prime MacKinnon in his back pocket.

Get him an actual partner, please. We’re wasting his greatness.

 

[DaveG]

I didn't realize Brady Tkachuk was such a wrecking ball.

now people should get why I want us to land him, lol

Agreed on wasting his greatness and overall doing a disservice to our team. We really should find that go to RD partner for him. Play Slavin 28-30 minute in the playoffs could be our cup recipe.

 

[Joe McGrath]

She's fun on podcasts etc, too. Whatever, a girl's gotta make a living, I guess.

It’s not her fault they put her in that position. She’s a great writer/journalist. Put people on the sideline gig that are fit for it.

Brady is a f***ing menace who’s being wasted in Ottawa. Get that man in a big market and promote the f*** out of him.

It's all about long-term value, at the end of the day. Burns is an overall legend and a borderline HoFer, but the Canes bought low (only Lorentz+late 3rd) in his tail end to be a bridge to our defensive farm. We can bitch and moan about parts of our current roster as much as we want, but the Hurricanes are in a great place as a franchise because they prioritize both the present and the future. If Morrow and Nikishin pan out in the way that the team thinks they're going to be, none of this is going to be a waste.

hear me out. Canada plays first tomorrow.

Depending on the outcome of that game, the US could techically let SWE win, and lock canada out of the final. Thus playing, most likely Sweden.

Imagine the rage.

That's why in soccer they now have the double matches. Though in this case we would be the sole determiner. Sweden would have 2 points finland and Canada 1

wtf I love the Tkachuck brothers now
