Quick hasnt been very good but did anyone actually expect USA to beat Canada? USA lineup sucks compared to Canada.
 
Honestly, I'm glad this is happening for a myriad of reasons.

A) ESPN will have **** ratings. Hate that company and how they treat hockey and USA being out early will kill ratings.

B) Dinosaurs like Burke, Lombo and Torts should be given the boot. Given how much of an embarrassment this tournament has been, they shouldnt even be allowed back in the country, let alone in management/coaching roles.

C) Quick reputation should take a hit. Guy has been garbage this tournament and is wrongly regarded as one of the game's elite
 
Who's going to step up for the Americans Craig?

Idk USA has no Messier type players....nobody then:nod:
 
And again... Just because.

Watching Tavares play, it's hard to understand why he didn't become a generational talent. He's got high end vision like Crosby, McDavid but probably the skating that held him back.

McDonagh and Niskanen with the NHL 17 style of defense. So much for putting together a rugged team, these guys are softer than two-ply toilet paper.

I don't know what brand of two-ply you use, but the stuff we have at work is like hydroclorically treated sandpaper. Not soft in my opinion.
 
Not starting Schneider was a horrible decision. He's used to playing behind teams that are severely outmatched talent wise.
 
Yeesh, that Getzlaf line turns into a fire-drill in their own end, huh?

Agreed with all the above. How weird is that?

A) I love how you make presumptions about my hockey viewing schedules

B) No offense, I don't really care about your hockey analysis, nor do I trust it. Nothing personal

I don't care about yours, per se; however, I don't want any impressionable posters to read it and think it is true: especially when it comes to the Kings.

Yeah, you don't watch as much Kings hockey as I do. That is a fact. I'm not going to pretend to know who the 5th most important player is on the Devils because I don't know. You can tell me all you want about how you stay up and watch every Kings game but nobody is going to believe that.

I'll read what you say about the Devils and give it weight. When it comes to the Kings, you've already proven that you haven't got a clue. Nothing personal.

His rep won't take a hit. If he was the reason they lost tonight, then sure. This team is completely outmatched.

Besides, Quick doesn't have a sterling rep. [mod]

Yeah he's an average skater.

His skating wasn't the greatest early on but this is easily the best I've seen him. Easily.
 
Well... the good news is other than the snubs, we can hold our heads up that young guys like Gaudreau, Matthews, Eichel, Jones, Ghost, etc will/SHOULD make future USA teams which will make them a hell of a lot stronger.

As long as their is a different brain trust who prioritizes skill over grit. If not.. guys like Tom Wilson are a lock to make future USA teams. :laugh:
