Four Nations-cup

Crosby just has such a deep understanding of the game. On the surface that OT play seems like nothing but it’s meticulously orchestrated. He makes it seem like he’s going to attack to the outside and draws them out of their defensive formation to create some space in the middle of the ice before kicking the puck back out of the zone but the timing is key, he doesnt rush to exit the zone and reset the entry, hes real non chalant about tagging up but makes sure to be onside but doesn’t even look engaged. The defenders have no idea what to do with that, there’s is two of them hesitating tying to figure out if he’s a threat and who’s got him and that hesitation he created is all the time Marner needs. Playing mind games with these guys.

Glad to see people are on the same page as me regarding McDavid. I think he played well and was flying but there's not a ton of synergy on that line. Seems he needs to be the puck retriever which he's good at, but it's not really his strength. I think either Reinhart or Marner would work, but I think a puckhound would help a lot. Konecny or Marchand would be my pick.

Crosby was incredible this game and MacKinnon was pissing me off the way he was playing hero puck out there.
 
Parayko looked like a right handed version of last year's Nurse. A few needless icings, killing cycles with low percentage point shots, and over-committing down low to the guy passing the puck (on the 3rd Swedish goal).

Yea didn't like him or Doughty tonight. Unfortunately going to see more of both with Theodore out.
 
I disagree. I basically saw Skinner in net, with some goals I would have been upset he let in a regular season game.

I didn't see much difference. Move on from JB, start Hill or Monty next time.
Agree to disagree. It's about your work. I don't like Binnington. No Bueno. Guy still came up clutch and gave up shitty goals. Don't like his temper tantrums as well.

Thread ballooned an awful lot of pages for a tournament nobody cares about.

Canadas questionable player selections were all straight ass IMO. Looks good on the management group.

I mean there's not much else on TV these days.

Unless you wanna watch the Raptors stink up the SBA a few times every week.

This seems to happen to Sweden alot during these international tournaments.
This is most Euros

Euros care more about this stuff and the Olympics than the Cup. They don't grow up idolizing the cup

I personally would have a team with the least Euros you can. Just have a couple max complimentary players.
