Crosby's face looks gaunt these days, kinda like kreider
Considering his play over the last year.....it is shocking that they have him on the roster ....is the US roster actually that thin they took him ?Kreider is the odd-man out for this first Team USA game. I'm sure that makes a lot of people on this board get a chubby,
My brother was involved with Five Eyes +7+9....they got to golf all over the World....had front seats to dickhead initial inauguration ..MI13? Four Nations, Five Eyes?
I wish they did play the games all on the big ice....not much good these days with bigger and faster guys and no room to make plays......even Fox/Lindgren would be good on the big ice with Fox maneuvers ....his wrister to the net might lack some punch....maybe one hoppers with some practice and Kreider deflecting .....double up his assists quickly .This feels like the NHL taunting countries other than Canada as compensation for a Canadian team not winning a cup since … Montreal in ‘92? At least make them play in international sized rinks.
He might have made a 3rd Team Canada roster ....maybe .i asked my wife for a swedish ass-performance once. don't recommend it.
do you think there's any chance Laf gets chafed at not being picked for this team and ratchets his game up the rest of the year?
....and the Rangers have the market cornered on guys that don't know how to deliver one either .Theodore took that hit all wrong.
I really can't stand how almost all players who know how to take hits have basically aged out of the NHL now.
Practically every player today turns into the boards before contact and sets themselves up for an injury or a boarding call against the aggressor.
All these Midget/Junior leagues that keep raising the age before legal hitting are doing a disservice to the players.
No one knows how to take a hit anymore.
