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

Haiti version or Africa version?ROW national anthem should be We Are The World
It’s not legit best on best without Russia though, period.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.

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.

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.”I simply can't agree. Russia is not a legitimate participant at this point.
It means he wants to punish russian hockey players becuause of what's essentially a slavic civil war.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.”
Speed displayed with all the lines was off the charts.....I found it more enjoyable than a playoff game.Changed my mind, this tournament is great, good preview for the playoffs
I never understood why anyone thinks what Putin is doing has anything to do with Svech, Kooch, Vasi, Kucherov, etc.God there are some horrible totally not politically motivated takes about the invasion and occupation of democratic Ukraine.
With that said, let Russia play.
Even if the Russians were staunch Putin supporters being used as political pawns, what better way to counter their propaganda than to kick their asses on the ice?I never understood why anyone thinks what Putin is doing has anything to do with Svech, Kooch, Vasi, Kucherov, etc.
Agree let them play. The ban is obviously not hurting Putin or his invasion. Also is there anything him or the Russian war machine gains out of it?
My ultimate feelings will depend on how many major injuries do or do not occur. But, it's obviously entertaining.Changed my mind, this tournament is great, good preview for the playoffs
