Anyone else find the constant changing ads on the boards extremely distracting?

Every camera has different ads, it's so wierd

 

[Jonsson]

[rhinoshawarma]

WOW, what a bounce... out of nowhere

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

[General Zodd]

Lol, this is ****ing great!

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

lol.

 

[Daximus]

No way! hahaha this is awesome

 

[Pi]

Yep. Kessel, Johnson, Shattenkirk, and Faulk all should be on this team. In fact it's absolutely inexplicable that they're not. And of course dumb**** is benching Buf instead of Jack Johnson on top of that.

Wow. I didn't even know about Buff being scratched.

I really don't know how Torts got another NHL job after the shambles he left the Canucks in. He's got more lives than a cat.

USA has a bright future though...tons of young guys like Gaudreau, Matthews, Larkin, Connor etc.

 

[Captain Timo]

USA getting embarrassed

 

[Divine]

The only team that can beat Team Europe is Team NA. Everyone was saying Team Europe was a joke... maybe Team NA is just too fast for them.

 

[Hedning]

Lol... go europe!

 

[Canucks LB]

Team Europe[e has 46-1 odds to win the tourney.

I regret not putting down a few dollars on that

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Hahahahahaha, I love this. **** you, Torts.

 

[Sempiternal]

Hahaha!

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Wow, what was that.

 

[Shockmaster]

LOL Torts!

 

[MMANumminen]

Wooooooot

 

[Irishguy42]

JVR out with Kane now. He's picked it up a notch for sure.

Wasn't JVR already on a line with Kane? Like...from the beginning? JVR-Stepan-Kane.

 

[bert]

This is amazing! Loving team Eurotrash.

This is what you get when you pick Torts as your coach and let him pick the team.

 

[Stuzchuk]

wow!!
WTH?

 

[Lempo]

I'm from Europe (Sweden), and I think the concept behind Team Europe is marvelous - I just wish there was a spot on the team for the Gustav Nyquist's and Jonas Brodin's of the world. However, that is in large part due to my political views regarding the EU. I don't want to hijack this thread with political conversations, but I could easily see how a pro-nation-state anti-EU sort of person would find it degrading.

Speaking as a pro-nation-state anti-EU sort of person, nothing wrong with the concept of Team Europe, but any perceived relation to the European Union as the political entity or Ode to Joy or any of that should be none nada zilch. There's no National Association of Hockey of EU or anything running a national team; as far as international hockey is concerned, the EU is an absolute non-entity.

 

[JTX]

An awful lot of crinkling tinfoil can be heard in this thread.

LOL.

Also too much "WTF, no Phil Kessel!!1!"

Phil Kessel is not healthy.

 

[myperbixhurts]

So much for team Europe being the weakest team in this tournament

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I'm watching this game because I'm craving Hockey, but the US looks like ****. At least the good news is if the US doesn't make it out of the group, Pavleski will come back to the Sharks earlier.
