Personally I'd go
Reinhart-McDavid-Stone
Crosby-MacKinnon-Marner
Marchand-Cirelli-Point
Hagel -Bennett-Jarvis
Gives McJesus 2 shooters, he can carry his own line.
Marner and Crosby will hopefully build on their OT goal on a line together, awesome second line
Marchand and Point showed good chemistry, keep them keep them together.
Hagel Bennett 4th line

What's crazy is even if Theodore, Pietrangelo & Makar (or any of the starters) were injured before the tournament Canada would have a choice of Tanev, Montour, Weeger, Doughty and Sandheim to bring in to replace them.
Canada's still very rich on the blueline.

Konecny not playing is a big loss. he is a stud.
not a huge fan of the lines they have going...I would try this without Travis.
Reinhart-McDavid-Point
Crosby-MacKinnon-Stone
Hagel-Bennett-Marner
Marchand-Cirelli-Jarvis

Like I said, very unintelligent hockey. 3v3 is about possession, not long distance shots 1v3. Basically just a boneheaded turnover on the last 4 pics. You hang onto the puck there, wait for line change while maintaining possession, and try to generate something better than a 30 foot prayer. Not sure why people struggle to understand this.

It’s about possession to create opportune attacking situations. Outside of the first shot he had, MacKinnon did a good job of recognizing he had a 1v1 situation and beating the defender to get a look at the net. Shot between Pettersson’s legs, cut back on Hedman and inside drive on Zibanejad were all good chances MacKinnon created from attacking 1v1.

I guess we just disagree on what a good chance is lol. Wristers from 40ft, especially when 3v3 is full of 2 on 1s and great slot chances, don't qualify for me. Selfish, smooth-brained hockey to shoot those imo. You're playing on a team full of world-class talents, use them.

None of the chances I mentioned were 40’ out though. The cut back on Hedman was the furthest out. It was the top hash mark in the middle of the ice. It was a slot chance.

On the last of MacKinnon's low percentage turnovers Canada 100% deserved a too many men penalty because he was slow getting to the bench after. Wonder how much the conversation would change had the whistle blown there.
Marner needs to gel with McDavid tomorrow for sure, I know some people argued he had a good game but I thought he handcuffed McDavid more than anything. Hope Hill gets the start, Binnington made big saves in key moments but he didn't win the net for the rest of the tourney.
I think this new 3rd line will be good but I might have put swapped Marner with Point. Points a triggerman who can be more of a connector than play driver, like on TBL, and cause you have McDavid let him be the main entry guy who can create space for Reinhart and Point. I hope Marner adapts which he can do considering his talent but I think he could be better on the 3rd line with Hagel/Marchand and Cirelli as he would be the obvious puck carrier and he's normally a good 2 way disruptor.
I thought Konecny played quite poor and while Bennett can take bad penalties I think against the US he'll be more of a benefit on the 4th.

Awful lot of consternation about the best player in the world taking a couple shots on goal.
Good to see Bennett in against the US. Going to need him to have their blueline hearing footsteps.
Crosby-McDavid-Reinhart
Marchand-MacKinnon-Marner
Cirelli-Point-Stone
Hagel-Bennett-Jarvis
is what I would have liked to see personally.

MacKinnon has been carrying Rantanen's ass for years. He'll be fine.
Point is also probably our best checking center. Yes better than Crosby. Stone I want with a player that can great plays at speed, he's really a great winger at picking off passes in the NZ and turning it back up ice to guys moving.

Having finally just finished watching Canada-Sweden, I think that first line (Reinhart-McDavid-Marner) is lacking some sandpaper. And some people have mentioned the redundancy of Marner & McDavid on the same line, which might also be true.
I'd like to see what a guy like Crosby or Point could do up with McDavid.

The MacKinnon being a puck hog thing... it's not about "it's McDavid is on the rush with you" it's about surrendering possession 3 on 3 for a low probability play. Cutting between two guys into the slot where half your range is blocked and the goalie clearly sees you is not a high probability chance. Once is fine. But he did it three times. Marner's goal was the result of Crosby having the sense to pass it back to the late guy because he viewed his chance as low probability. He said as much in the post-game. He wasn't thinking Marner would tear over the line and shoot a laser top corner. He wanted to maintain possession when he didn't see much of a chance for himself.

Think he is having PTSD flashback of last years playoffs and Mackinnon and Makar dunking on him?
