So... what are the odds that Nate attempts to stuff Sid into his baggage tonight on the flight home?

No, I genuinely want this. It's realistic too.
If America wins, we get Canada. If Canada wins, they get USA. Who says no?

As long as I get poutine at my Costco, I'm fine either way.

If you know Subban's social media history, for some weird reason he is OBSESSED with turning words into some form of "izzy" and calling everyone "kid" while saying "in the mix" like we know what the f*** he is saying.
One of the most cringeworthy humans walking this earth. No surprise to me if he was disliked by most while in the NHL.

You've gone weak buddy. I hope the ice refrigeration units break down midway through the third with it being a tied game. I want this thing to end with no winners and everyone freaking pissed off. Anything less is too soft...
Force these guys to sit and stew until the next international best on best (with hopefully more countries invited) to resolve it.Winner takes all. Cheeky... I like it. Sounds like something the Swedes would come up with...

Maybe we can orchestrate a blockbuster trade... Trump and Putin head to the Vatican, the Pope becomes Russian and relocates to Moscow, Trudeau lands in Copenhagen as a Minister for North American trade, while both Canada and the USA swear fealty to Frederik X.
The kingdom of Denmark would instantaneoulsy become a juggernaut of hockey the likes of which have never been seen... or more aptly will ever be seen outside of my fever dreams.
Can't wait to see what some of our Canadian based posters can come up with.
I love that fighting eagle you got though. Marvel should have required the Falcon to become an Eagle before taking over as Cap.

I'm actually going to get a goose this year to protect my chicken flock from raccoons and skunks. Tired of them getting killed off every year
What funny is, this was the prompt I used:
"bald eagle wearing team USA hockey jersey fighting an Canadian goose wearing team Canada hockey jersey"
Not once did it give me a picture where the Canadian goose was winning the fight.

Don't you dare disrespect Canada gooses. Or Canada mooses. You f**k.
I can't believe how many people care about this tournament. It's mind boggling to me.

The hockey has been really good and there’s hasn’t been international best-on-best in a decade.
Why’s it surprising?

Hey, I was hoping for a picture of anthropomorphic Eagle and Goose grabbing at each other collars, while having their fists cocked and ready to punch each other.
This bias is all on Microsoft. Please direct your complaints to them.
Cause two weeks ago everyone talked about this being a joke. IMO the hockey hasn't been that great either. Only having 4 nations in it doesn't really make it a true best-on-best to me either.
I'm just surprised so many people especially outside of the hockey community actually care about this.

I'm going to bet that a SWE/FIN final game wouldn't be met with as much tension

It has caught on a bit as a meme in the US because of politics, but you'll quickly realize many in the US know absolutely nothing about hockey. All they can do is talk shit and nonesense?
Sound familiar? You poor SOBs have been dealing with me since 2005. Blame Jori for bringing me over from ESPN's board when it died.
I actually miss her thoughts here. We've been blessed with not only having a successful team but also some damn good posters who continuously provide great up to the moment data, news and analysis. And then on the other hand we've got @Bill Peckerskull.
Kiddin' hoss, take it easy. I've just about eliminated every hockey guru from my follows on X because I can just read them here. I swear to god, sometimes you repost their tweets before they even tweet them.
It shouldn't be surprising. Isn't this what kids dream of? Playing in a national best on best tournament?
The NHL has f***ed over not only it's entire fan base, but it's entire player constituency as well, for a decade by preventing them from playing in a such an event.
That being said, I could do without the extra bullshit from my president trying to make this political. It shouldn't be. This is simply the two greatest current hockey juggernauts going at it tooth and nail for supremecy. It's not political...it's f***ing personal. Trying to make it into anything else is to diminish the actual game being played.
