GDT: Four Nations Tournament - Part 3 - Championship Game: USA vs Canada , Feb 20th @ 8pm ET (ESPN, ESPN+)

[KirkAlbuquerque]

The NHL goes by Tinder rules. 6'1" is tall. 5'11" is child-like.

 

[17futurecap]

They are bringing Hughes to Boston, that’s awesome.

 

[McRanger92]

Oh so now that the US is in the Final, Quinn is healthy enough to play

 

[leetch99]

Go Canada !!! I hope Trocheck is not seriously hurt....bad for Rangers if so . Was he slashed ? I never watched any of the game .

 

[EdJovanovski]

Holy shit Quinn Hughes
Canada only has one hope at this point, they can one up the USA's Hughes call up and do the unthinkable:

Foolish rules all around . Allowing teams to add guys . How could they not have that figured out before the event started......Teams should have been allowed about 6 guys extra ....then there would be none of the foolish stuff .

Maybe just dress him for the pre game ?

5’10” though. Not looking good for Team USA.

He came back and played well after that.
I think he got hit in the hand by a puck I believe at the end of the 2nd period???
I am sure it would be pretty easy to diagnose a hand injury if it was bad enough to keep him from returning.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lmao this is amazing.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Quinn will in one game play much better and be more noticeable than his brother who has done squat. Watch. Jack has been awful.

Agreed regarding injury subs but I have to think the hesitance to add additional players is something that was collectively bargained between the teams and PA. The NHL teams are taking on additional risk by allowing their best players to go play in these games that are a level above exhibitions.

Quinn will in one game play much better and be more noticeable than his brother who has done squat. Watch. Jack has been awful.

2 guys who are the constant apple of rangers fans eye, Jack Hughes and Elias Pettersson, have both looked horrible this tournament. We're all hung up on Adam Fox though for some reason.

Oh nevermind. Unless there is another injury, he won't be able to play.

 

[17futurecap]

I wonder who is going to lie and say they are sick so he can play?

Yes.....and there will be some fall out from this event if somebody suffers a serious injury...like a McDavid-McKinnon -Tkachuk B .....all guys important cogs on their teams especially to a club like Ottawa .

I wonder who is going to lie and say they are sick so he can play?

Well....it could be as simple as somebody getting the flu or Covid and they want the guy available on short notice .

 

[NickyFotiu]

Upper body injury. Lower body injury. Why even name them at all if that is the generic descriptions at this point?

 

[Filip Chytil]

France is 14th in the world, you're gonna have to get somebody worse.

North Korea?

 

[Cmox]

The other Huges is inbound.

[kovazub94]

He lost 1/4 step or 1/2 step or something at some point (maybe the Aho hit) that he basically can't afford to lose. League is slowly catching on to not respecting his headfakes or skating ability. He used to walk the blueline like a deity -- where's that been?

...

Where's the evidence that he either lost a step or that the league is catching on to him instead of other factor(s)? I'd be more readily willing to acknowledge this take if we saw Fox continue trying it and opponents preventing the execution. But what we see is Fox abruptly stop trying it altogether - which makes me lean more toward that lingering physical effects of a prior injury than anything else.

He has but none of the USA forwards has done much. Most of the offense have been generated by the D, specifically Werenski

We can’t expect Team USA to publicly announce the Tkachuk brothers got gonorrhea from tag teaming a streetwalker in Montreal

The bash brothers aside I just feel these injury designations have gotten useless. Don't know why but I get frustrated by them. So an injury occurred between his belly button and his hair?

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Once you’ve been hit by a 5’10, 210 lb guy you’ll see this differently

so you're saying girth is more important than length?

I think what you're referencing here is a distinction without a difference.
