Four Nations-cup

McDavid was invisible after the 1st. I don’t know if he didn’t want to take the limelight or what it was. I would also like to point out that none of these dmen move the puck as well as Bouchard. I don’t think 97 was hit once in the neutral zone with a breakout pass- they are all great skaters who like to carry the puck up.

Also- next game- have MacKinnon and McDavid switch lines

His lateral movement always comes back after a break. It never lasts for more than a couple periods, one game at most imo. The first period was McJesus again, his movement was ridiculous, then poof, back to straight lines and good defense

He played great the entire game, was one of our better players imo.

Theodore got injured and is out for the tournament. This could be big for the Oilers if he’s out for a long period of time.

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.

Look at the canucks as an example

What game were you watching? He created a ton

I am not even trying to be a "don Cherry here"

This is typically true

I don't even want to offend some of our brethren here

I am sorry, Euros, typically, are just softer. They don't "want it" as bad.

But at these National tournaments, you will see these guys go up another level compared to the NHL

Wish we could add Drai to team Canada. I mean he's practically Canadian already, he's lived in Canada since he was 16. I know he's a proud German though.

Nylander's born in Canada and he's playing for Sweden, so...

Wait Finlands out??

He did in the first but then faded I found. His linemates also didn’t fit his style of play
