Every now and then I forget Binnington’s in net and then….

Seth PKing for Canada. He’s gonna win a Selke one day isn’t he

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Changed my mind, this tournament is great, good preview for the playoffs

Well, Cooper can piss off. 5 mins left in a tie game and you don't let Marchand and Jarvis have a shift but put Point with Cirrelli and Hagel for 2 shifts?

I liked the whole game but that OT rocked. Need a 3 on 3 international tourney.

Not that I want Jarvis to lose but I hope Aho and Rants kick their ass next Monday at the game I’m at.

Pleasantly surprised by this one, was actually pretty damn electric. Wayyyy better than meaningless all star game crap

That was a blast. Lighting my candles for a super safe tournament.

Also really hyped to see Team USA tomorrow.

100 year old Crosby has 3 apples in a best on best game. Dude is pretty good

 

[Borsig]

what a game.

If this is the new thing it nukes the all stars. Loving this,

Next year don't exclude some of the best players. Please add Russia and ROW teams. ROW with Danish, Czech, German, Swiss, Latvian, Slovak, etc would compete as well.

ROW national anthem should be We Are The World

This is a one off because they didn't have time to plan a full World Cup, we'll have a World Cup every 4 years alternating with the Olympics going forward. (And per the Bettman press conference today, no more North America/Europe stupidity, proper national teams, probably 8). Russia will remain banned from international competition until the international sanctions go away, so don't hold your breath for that, but we'll get the other teams.

So great to have legit best on best international hockey again, and we'll have it every 2 years. Man, I missed it.

Haters proven very wrong so far.

Haiti version or Africa version?

It’s not legit best on best without Russia though, period.

I simply can't agree. Russia is not a legitimate participant at this point.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I'd like this post if I could.

Me too.

Theodore done for the tourney. Wonder if it'll be bad enough for Vegas to head to LTIR abuse land again.

What does that even mean? Best on best is the best hockey players in the world playing against each other. Not “best players from countries not invading other countries.”

 

[hangman005]

To my mind especially exclude all the national federations and there is no reason to exclude a team of russian players.... I mean even including the federations I'd let the Russians in, if Finland and Sweden and whoever want to boycott, fine... f*** them, that's their choice, but last I checked it was Russian NHL players running Russia.

That said full disclaimer. I really don't give two shits about International Hockey

It means he wants to punish russian hockey players becuause of what's essentially a slavic civil war.

Hopefully it will be over soon since the firehoseof money and equipment is being turned off. Also UA troops are defecting in droves. Not good. It's not sustianable and needs to end.
