Four Nations-cup

Czechs, I was surprised as well. They are a very strong team and have some good players. Was a bit surprised they were left out

And Regina being in would have been nice too. I might have had a chance. Oh well

I asked Gary myself, he said for competitive balance they need to make it as equal as possible, and with you in net it would just be too hard for the other teams to score.

Lmao. In that case. I understand

I will step aside and do my sworn obligation

Get drunk and watch the tournament on TV

Unfortunately his problem is likely that he needs rest after playing more hockey the past couple years than almost anybody. Would be better off spending two weeks at home. Same goes for Ekholm.

Saw Ek's interview yesterday. Dude has no voice after being sick.

Hope he somehow gets back to 100% while playing in this tournament

Gotta feel bad for Cooper, he’s never had to worry about his goaltending before. Now it’s which meh option do I choose. Binnington is pretty much Skinner 2.0, either really good or just awful, no in between.

Binnington at least has the ability to steal games more othen than Skinner does even though his bad game appears just as often. Though the only game they may need a steal is the US game.

May to steal a 2nd game as well, if the U.S appears in the finals against us. A tall order.

That's moreso the game I was thinking of. Losing the round robin game vs US may not matter if they take care of business vs. Sweden and Finland.

In some ways it may be better to lose vs. USA in the round robin assuming they get the other wins as I can't see either team beating the other twice in 6 days.

Might be worth considering a 5 forward first unit if they are trailing in a game and desperate for a goal.
