Four Nations-cup

He just served a suspension and said he hates sitting around, but you’re going back years claiming he needs rest? Lmao

Yeah, he already missed like half a dozen games.

Have to disagree

Anything that gets rid of the embarrassing all-star game format is automatically one of the smarter things the league has done

Olden days All-Star games were semi-competitive and therefore entertaining. The current Mickey Mouse tourneys should be abolished.

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.

Is Hill and Binnington the best Canada can do? What happened to Brodeur, Luongo, Turco, Price competing for a spot.

Canadas goaltending development has been bad for a while now for whatever reason. US seems to be much better at developing them properly.

That and the fact the team was picked way too early. That's why Logan Thompson isn't on the roster. That's also why Bennet is on the roster.

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.

He probably would be … except he wants to play.

“I’m excited,” McDavid said Tuesday, sporting a big smile. “Ultimately, we’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Lots of buildup, lots of hype for a while. Now it’s time to go play. That's what I do.”

“This is a special rink,” McDavid said. “This is a special rink around the world. It’s loud in here. Passionate fans. We certainly feel that when we visit here with Edmonton.

“It’ll be nice to have them cheering me for once, and I’m looking forward to feeding off that energy. I think it’s going to be electric.”

If that’s how he really feels, and who am I to doubt him, I won’t begrudge him this opportunity. I’ll watch, and hope he plays well.
