To a DEGREE both sides are right on Johnny Hockey vs McDavid debate.
But the part about you talking about two way play from McDavid and bashing JH is a bit hypocritical to say the least. That's freakin Hall,Ebs and Oil the last half decade plus
And Johnny puts those two to SHAME.I am the most critical of the Oilers in the last many years lol The Oilers have been horrible because of bad management. Just because i defend Mcdavid doesn't mean i don't find fault in him or any Oiler. No player is perfect and everyone has their flaws. I am just saying that Connor Mcdavid is the most dangerous and exciting player i have seen in years and i think most people would agree with that. I am also saying that top hockey minds and experts would pick Mcdavid on their team over Johnny in a second. So I don't see why this has anything to do with the Oilers horrible last many years lol i am their biggest critic and was embarrassed we got the #1 pick to select Connor. We didn't deserve it.

lol nobody mentioned hall or eberle being great in their own end lol lol i just said Johnny is horrible in his own end and lets his teammates do all the work and he waits for the puck.

USA has some serious offensive firepower if the NHL goes to the next Olympics. Assuming Lombardi & Company arent left in charge to **** it up.

Nothing's a guarantee that Connor is a generational talent and you can't be sure Johnny Hockey isn't either. Who's the last player that's a generational talent anyway? Probably Ovechkin and I'll put Crosby there as well.

Overblown. He's not a defensive stalwart, but he's not terrible. Needs to get a little more active in his end, yes. But he's also a small finesse player and I think he actively avoids board battles to a degree as a result. He still does a good job of cutting off passing lanes and covering the point most of the time.

Some bad defending in this game. I lost count on the amount of breakaways given to NA. Our first period cost us the game.
A longer part with Karlsson, but this one was kind of fun.
Erik Karlsson:
- The first 2 minutes was about the most embarrassing and weirdest I have experienced. I mean they did everything. Breakaways, 2 goals and a penalty. It was like a strike to the face. They came out and played from start and we didn't.
Journalist: - But you must have known this beforehand, how did the team talk about how to start the game?
- I don't know if you have been in any sport at any-time, but sometimes it does not matter what you say or do. It just happens.

Sweden did not play serious in 3-3 ot since they already won the group. They let the gimmick kids win it.

One of the best games I have seen in recent time. With the perfect result - Sweden gets a point and wins the group while NA still has the chance (and I hope they make it, Go Finland!) to advance to the semis.
And the goal by MacKinnon was superb!

Except Lundqvist who yelled at the swedish skaters after the game. Such a competitive guy.

Finland has scored one goal in this tournament. If i know my lions right, they will play like their life depend on it against the russians.
They have a lot to prove.
Anyway would like to see russians advance to the semis since they are one of my favourite teams. But im also loving team NA for their pure skill and passion.
So Finland for the win.

Swedish tv said that they were not serious. Thats why there were 3 vs 0 at Lundqvist

Anyone who watched that overtime could tell that Sweden was not taking it seriously.
It felt like every Swedish player was skating in quicksand. They were all slow while NA were really skating fast.
They knew they were advancing. So it really didn't matter to them whether they won or not after regulation ended.

You must have been looking for him up ice when Soderberg cross-checked him into Gibson while he was backchecking
It must be tough on McDavid fans seeing Gaudreau get 5g-4a in 6 games while McDavid plays 8th fiddle with 3 lousy assists and realizing what I have been saying since before he was drafted, he isn't and never has been anywhere near Crosby's level. but go ahead and keep throwing that "generational" term around until embarrassment sinks in.
Your first 15 posts makes it seem you joined just to troll.
Just relized that if NA would have won this game in regulation, they would have won the group just before Sweden. Same points but NA wins head-head and Russia can only get one winin regulation and both Sweden and NA have two. Now Russia will have to lose for NA to move on.

Which also had something to do that the Sedins were on the ice
Prove for not caring was Karlsson on the 4-3 goal joining the rush on a gamble play at the boards.

Of course they cared but the other team played with more fire, would have been weird if that wasn't the case.
