Same for me.

 

[ODAAT]

Same for me.

now, on the flipside, I suspect we will see a quality of hockey far greater than that of which we are force fed with this edition of the Bruins

[Ladyfan]

I will watch some of this.

Bottom line...If you don't want to watch don't. Please don't bitch and whine here about it for the entire 4 Nations. You can't stop the event so STFU.

I hate football so I stay off the thread about it.

What I worry about with these tournaments & the Olympics is one of our guys getting injured.

Hagel-Cirelli-Bennett line will be PIA to play against. McAvoy better keep his head on a swivel.

Its true for every team and based on # of players participating Bruins have less to worry about than TB and Florida in their own Division. They all want to play and I will obviously watch.

I am looking forward to the US\Canada game on Saturday night. Should be an interesting atmosphere at Bell Centre and I will leave it there.

 

[lopey]

Wish they would do theses tournaments in September not in season

[Ladyfan]

I'll be cheering for you Brad!

 

[Bruin4]

The Team USA defense and Goaltending is what wins it.
Sanderson they have as a reserve, he wont be there when it ends

 

[Alicat]

I want our guys to do well and want them to come back healthy. A USA-Canada finals match up would be great.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Little bit surprised they're not playing Marchand with Crosby given that's a pairing that has paid big dividends in the past.

Nasty group of guys for the special teams side of things though. McDavid, Makar, Marner and MacKinnon on the ice at the same time for a power play is a nightmarish concept. Even the PKers are nasty. Jarvis, Cirelli, Stone and Marchand.

Canada/US in Montreal on Saturday night might be nuts. Not exactly the best relations wise right now and Montreal is probably the most anti-US city in the country. Could be an all-timer.

That may change as the games go on

 

[McGarnagle]

Someone give me the ELI5 rundown on this tournament, because a four team tournament doesn't feel like much of a tournament

Is it round robin for seeding then semifinals, or does it go right to finals? Or something else?

Bruins are not a Cup threat so no worries unless plan is to trade Bradley..Oilers though with McDavid is another story

[Aussie Bruin]

So here's the big question. As a neutral, who should I support here? I'm open to persuasion!

And why shouldn't it be Finland?

 

[Bruin4]

Looks like Eichel doing the majority of the talking here.lol
