Series Talk: Four Nations Face-Off Tournament

[lionsDen]

It’s a pity Russia couldn’t be apart of this… all the politics of that aside. Anyone wanna do a Russian roster just for the kicks

Someone posted it a while back.

Malkin and Nuke would miss due to injuries.

 

[dahrougem2]

Anybody else not care about the 4 nations tournament? Do the players care? If so, I'll shut up.

But all I see is a mechanism to get Mac and Makar and Toews and Lecky hurt for no damn good reason. I'd rather see an All Star Skills competition in South Beach.

I couldn't care less.

The players seem to care BUT not to the extent of the Olympics. If this was an Olympic tourney and not an NHL tourney, I have no doubt Pietrangelo wouldn't have backed out.

We've had two football world cups without Italy.

No, we are not missing Russia one idoda. We are missing Germany, Slovakia, Czechia, Switzerland etc.

Yeah we 10000% are.

None of those team hold a candle to russia

What we should be really asking is how would a lawyer deal with this or any sort of relevance to being a lawyer

Where Russia gets thin is at center. I don't have a clue who they'd add with Malkin out lol.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Center?

Yep. You know it's been Nikita's destiny since his days with us.

[Snow Arc]

Canada will win because they have Mark Stone

 

[LOFIN]

Heard this on Real Kyper and Bourne yesterday. Apparently, this has been whispered by some other people as well. Don't mind Canada refusing to take the best goalies available because of a personality conflict.

 

[Balthazar]

 

[Alienblood]

If Crosby can't go hopefully Nate won't either

 

[BaconNater]

Will Lehkonen eat Mackinnon for breakfast?

 

[ABasin]

Hmm. What’s the plan here? Stone plays the full Nations tournament, stubs his toe in his hotel room on the last night, goes on LTIR until the playoffs?

 

[LOFIN]

The Finnish defence is so horrendous lmao, a single win would be a positive. It was not great without Heiskanen, and now he's out too.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Damn

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Can Finland even ice 6 defensemen if Risto is also hurt and out?

If Rantanen is out, these guys are completely cooked.

Not looking forward to Lehky playing 20+ minutes during the “break.”

Yes

Lindell
Mikkola
Määttä
Välimäki
Jokiharju
Vaakanainen

Heinola or Matinpalo in if Ristolainen is out. Also, players in AHL with NHL contracts are eligible so 6 guys can definitely be iced, but the quality of players is rough.

 

[Balthazar]

Crazy to me that 3/5 players of Canada's starting lineup are Avs. That's the kind of shit that we won't see again.

 

[LOFIN]

f***ing LMAO, so now Ristolainen is out. Finland is basically having an AHL defence. Well, at least there are zero expectations so any win will be a positive...

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

It's a joke at this point
