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

[Boris Zubov]

Most of the Miracle on Ice players were not great pros.

Mark Johnson & Neil Broten were very good. Broten scored over 900 points & won a cup.

Would suck trying to pick the puck out the of that USA blue as well, it's really dark

 

[NickyFotiu]

Is that like the Caddy day at Bushwood?

LOL maybe?

 

[noncents]

fox may never recover from this. getting absolutely bitched.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Fox getting abused

World's best goalie?! -- @SnowblindNYR

 

[Cmox]

ohh Fox

 

[LokiDog]

Hard to blame the goalie when there were 8 people in his way

Which is also why you don’t pay Vezina winners like 1Cs. Every goalie is going to give up bad goals and there is no control over when. The difference between league average and Vezina is like 1.8% more saves per 100 shots.

I mean the straight line relay showed a clear lane develop through the traffic to find the puck and helly never moved his head to look through that lane. It's the same type of thing that he struggles with in the playoffs when there is more traffic in shooting lanes.

 

[CasusBelli]

Move. Your. Legs.

Holy shit.

 

[Fitzy]

This night is gonna need a bag of haribo twin snakes and some green tea if this keeps up

Agreed 100%. Not only do you not pay them 1C money, you don't pay them 25% higher than the next highest goalie.

Shesty would have saved it

Retire mid-game or do you reckon he'll play out the season?

 

[NickyFotiu]

This tournament has been great for people to see how good some opposing players are. Ive been surprised by some of them.

That sounds amazing, do that if they win.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Unless you have a Little League World Series Championship. Then you can do whatever you want.

Can you leave us with a contact phone # in case you OD?

 

[TheDirtyH]

Shesty would have saved it

after he'd given up two earlier

Don't pay them at all.

Stick some guy from the minors in there.

That won a Cup in 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2023.

 

[mike14]

It's crazy to me that this is bigger than a game 7 to some players.
I get it with the Olympics in some regards, but if that's the case here maybe the Cup isn't the achievement that we make it out to be

 

[Boris Zubov]

I thought that was a given.

 

[Machinehead]

All of the creativity from Slavin, as always.

 

[Machinehead]

If you take this team as a sample, we might be a country that's good at hockey, but we sure are ugly.
