GDT: Four Nations Thread

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Sid always puts some pizazz into his ENs.

Canada just totally self sabotaged with their goalie selection.

Logan Thompson must be some kinda scumbag for Canada to pass on him being in goal for f***ing Jordan Binnington.

Probably looking too much into it and I'm by no means a lip reader, but they had a shot of Sid and Marchand talking between periods and Sid was miming a shooting motion and sorta grimaced and shrugged. Dunno if he was saying he can't put a lot on his shots due to his wrist, or he was saying he wishes he got more on that chance he had in the slot that got saved. /shrug

Posted the same thing in the salary cap thread. Main notable is the tape on his left wrist, so, yeah.

Kuemper and Blackwood would have been solid selections too. They managed to get all three goalie selections wrong.

That said I'm glad we're getting another Canada US game. Should be a beauty.

Yea, and all Blackwood has done is come in and save Colorado's season and then totally sink the Sharks right back down to by far the worst in the league after leaving.

Having Makar back is certainly going to help Canada.

No Rakell is interesting. If that's Team Sweden doing us a solid and protecting a trade asset then that suggests Rakell might actually be under consideration for being moved this TDL.

Or did I miss something and he's hurt/sick?

Friedman said Team Sweden had flu issues so could just be that I suppose

 

[End of Line]

First couple minutes they were great. The short bench with Brady being hurt now is not great. As good as Sanderson is he’s definitely a downgrade from McAvoy.

Rakell is sick they said.

The PA guy telling the crowd to respect the anthems is sure to stop 20,000 rowdy Canadians from booing the Star Spangled Banner under the current circumstances.

*dusts off hands and walks away*

The fact that a bunch of twats can't understand why Canadians are mad and have every f***ing right to be mad, makes those criticizing it absolute dipshits.

 

[BusinessGoose]

I will admit, the tournament has been better than i expected

 

[Gurglesons]

Granlund continues to impress.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Not liking what I'm seeing from Jack Hughes tbh. Shies away from contact and doesn't go to the net. Was hoping he'd be a standout in these games.

Seems a little disengaged playing wing. Honestly feel like Matthews would transition to the side easier.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Some of these big name dudes who never really amount to much, make it show how lucky we were with sid and geno

They could have been these B tier whatever no needle moving guys

Also shows top picks aren't always salve for a shit team

Yeah he needs to be in the middle. Jack is McDavid-lite. His game is predicated on having the puck.

Got up at 3:30 AM on Monday and drove the 8.5 hours (With terrible lake effect conditions for 5) from Rochester to Boston with my Son and Daughter to catch the 1pm Canada vs Finland. They wore their Crosby jerseys, I sported my Lemieux. We saw McDavid, MacKinnnon and Crosby all score a goal for Team Canada. Jumped back in the car and then drove the 7 hours back home with better road conditions and got home at Midnight. An experience my kids and I will never forget! But man am I tired today.

Damn...losing McAvoy is HUUUGE

 

[Turin]

Wish Karlsson got more time to play. He’s been awesome.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Wasn't there a rumor that Riikola boinked Sullivan's daughter who was engaged to McAvoy at the time?

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

Wish Karlsson got more time to play. He’s been awesome.

You forget what an amazing player he can be when he's not neutered by his imbecile HC.

Thank god he’s the only guy that could replace mcavoy. Now gotta hope the tkachuk’s and whoever else is fine.
