GDT: Four Nations Tournament - USA vs Finland , 8pm ET , ESPN+

[TheDirtyH]

sweden's same defense in 2022 would've been gold standard of the league. they're just all ass now. Hedman, Karlsson both joever

 

[Profet]

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.

Team Sweden working out before the game

 

[TheDirtyH]

one thing Sweden does have going for them:

Canada's goalies

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

this period stinks

 

[McRanger92]

Theodore injury creating Vegas LTIR space to trade for Lindgren. Always be closing.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Zibanejad about to have the worst year of his hockey career lol

 

[will1066]

I didn't realize Jarvis was Canadian

 

[Profet]

this period stinks

"Best on Best"

 

[will1066]

Can't be fun for Swedes watching this crap at 3 am

 

[TheDirtyH]

I didn't realize Jarvis was Canadian

you didn't see the biopic on his family?

 

[Tob]

93 invisible

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

93 invisible

[will1066]

This is so boring

yup

 

[Boris Zubov]

There's that Canadian goaltending!

 

[Profet]

Binnington is so mid. If he wasn't gigantic he'd be an AHL goalie.

 

[will1066]

you didn't see the biopic on his family?

What the f*** did I just watch?

I saw Ari Aster's name and expected a horror flick but that is just....

 

[hackeyman]

Crosby just happy to be playing with guys that can actually finish.

Can you imagine being able to make a play like that and it's useless because of your teammates.

 

[Boris Zubov]

This is so boring

I've seen way more exciting pre-season games. At least there's guys desperate to make the team & others who drop the gloves.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Swedes with a little push

 

[Profet]

Can you imagine being able to make a play like that and it's useless because of your teammates.

Gabe Perreault wont have to imagine soon.

 

[Mugless]

I'd like McDavid on the Rangers. See, being an NHL GM isn't hard.

 

[will1066]

Swedish HC looks clueless or just jetlagged

 

[Profet]

Canadian behind the bench pointing at his jersey while holding some nasty lunch room "pizza".

Zib floating... At least he's not only useless for us.
