Series Talk: Four Nations Face-Off Tournament

[expatriatedtexan]

NHLPA has something to say about that....

Yeah, that's why I was asking. I honestly don't know what stipulations they put in place for this tournament other than nationalism.

Even the Olympics are confusing to me. Chris Chelios played for Team USA but still tried out for the Greek boblsed team in 2006.

US gets Sanderson, Finland gets Matinpalo.

I think the thing I'm looking forward to the most about this tournament is not having to watch Austin Matthews look at me creepily and say, "Four nations, facing off" on ESPN+ every commercial break when it's over.

I'm excited to see future Avalanche powerplay of MacKinnon, Makar, Crosby and McDavid at work though.

Konecny missed practice due to being sick.

Surprised Marchand is not up there with Crosby and MacKinnon

Surprised Marchand is not up there with Crosby and MacKinnon

My first thought, too, especially since Marchand is a LW and Stone is a RW.

Don't galaxy brain this shit. It's a short tourney, find chemistry where you can. You already know Crosby and Marchand works exceptionally well based on the 2016 World Cup.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Two righties on their off-wings in the top 6 and lefties on their off-wings on the bottom 6.

This is very unlikely Team Canada who usually always have wingers and D on their strong hands.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

MacK and Cale on PP1 as expected.

PP1:

Crosby
MacKinnon - Reinhart - McDavid
Makar​

 

[CobraAcesS]

When you send DD to the back of the bus you know you're good.

"MacKinnon to Makar, he shoots SCORES. Tipped in by Crosby"

Crosby: "This is pretty fun I should do it in Colorado"

That 4th line is bonkers lol.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[The Moops]

Rooting big for Finland (after USA of course)

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Finland are the Mighty Ducks of this tournament.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Helping him sell the Avs to Sid as well I hope!

 

[Avs_19]

Call up Parssinen.

 

[BobRossColton]

Call up Parssinen.

He'd probably get more minutes at least.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

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

Their D is pretty weak as well.

 

[dahrougem2]

I hope Lehkonen suffers a mysterious "injury" and goes to a resort for two weeks to recharge for the playoff push.

 

[Alienblood]

MacK and Cale on PP1 as expected.

PP1:

Crosby
MacKinnon - Reinhart - McDavid
Makar​

that's unfair

 

[dahrougem2]

How butthurt do you think Marner is not being on PP1?

Guy probably crying to his pops about coach picking McDavid over him.
