Series Talk: Four Nations Face-Off Tournament

[expatriatedtexan]

it’s absolutely ridiculous. If you’re American and aren’t rooting for them to win then I have zero respect for you.

That's okay. I still respect you.

The US training staff has some good tranquilizers- Torts is chill behind the bench.

He's focused on his breathing, so he doesn't choke on that tie he's wearing.

I think Dorion made the right move when he kept that 1st to draft Tkachuk

f***ing lottery balls

Was Mikko playing in this game?

He was falling all over the ice, yeah I saw him out there.

Looks like Mathew Tkachuk actually got a decent box. I guess they heard people dunking on the dollar store gift bag that Crosby got.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Those new drone cams can pick up anything.

Only 2 stats that matter

 

[sethro109]

Gift box! He got a decent gift box!

The first two periods were awesome hockey, but Finland collapsed in the third.

I immensely dislike Fanatics, but they really hit a homerun with all these jerseys. Every single one of them is bloody fantastic.

Had to work late and was following on my phone. Was Rantanen as bad as advertised?

Rantanen, Aho, and Hintz all were awful. Mikko had a great first period, but sort of faded away after that.

Kinda feels like they're doing a lot of this, but I guess if they want to.

I can't get over how shitty the Fanatics logo looks. Not because of the logo itself of course.

Really feels like they're forcing this.

I get it, the guy passed away tragically but they're almost manufacturing this "do it for Johnny!" Underdog story when they're anything but.

I thought that for a second too, but then I realized it would be kinda shitty to just carry on with this tournament without acknowledging him, as a long time representative of Team USA, going back over a decade. He might have been there too.

Also, I think they want to make his dad feel like he's still part of the hockey family. I think that's kind of cool. He's probably had a lot of lonely feeling nights.

In the swedish locker room

 

[Foppa2118]

That's also Tkachuk's stall. So he's obviously probably on his mind a lot in the tournament.

The Finnish lockerroom has Heiskanen's jersey.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

And the US's still has Brett Hull's liver. He pickled that sucker so well it's not going anywhere anytime soon.
