Are the NHL'ers playing in the 4 Nations Tournament expected to fully compete when playing in those games - or will it be something closer to all-star game hockey?

It's replacing the ASG this year, so chances are it will resemble the ASG with 4 teams instead of 2. Maybe slightly higher intensity/some semblance of defensive play but I'm not expecting much.

Just saw Patrick Laine's first goal in his first game as a Hab. Still has that shot despite all the injuries and other stuff. Got the puck and did not even need to 1 time it. Just a really nice wrist shot. Goalie had plenty of time and was in good position. I know Laine has plenty of downside stuff but I like seeing real goal scorers and he has that kind of shot/hands.

I think his shot is better than Matthew’s

Hah well Matthews obviously a better all round scorer (and player) but I don’t think anyone in the league has a nastier wrist shot than Laine

I like Laine. I feel for him because he has had some really tough breaks in the last few years. Losing my dad was horrible. I can not imagine how hard it was on such a young guy. He does have great hands for a big guy. If Leaf fans even smell your post they will swarm. They are very protective especially in this discussion.

PenGoons just trashed the Leaves who had a PP with minutes to go and gave up two TWO SHGs lol. #34 is getting more shit than Zibby ever did haha.

Meanwhile Detroit pulled its goalie and still lost for a league-leading fifteenth time I made that up but it seems like it to me 🤓

Red wings lost again? Hmm, curious. Have they tried not building a team of failed Rangers deadline rentals? I’d say we could pick at their corpse but there’s not a whole lot on that team I’d want.

Tit for tat...I doubt they want any more ex Rangers either .

Torts had a point on the Bruin diving team.....they need a Kreider in the pool for the Gold medal . I
