[tbcwpg]

4 Nations stuff can go here. No politics.

Morrissey looks to be on the 2nd/3rd pair with Parayko. 2nd PP unit.

It is difficult to have less than no interest in a hockey series but I have attained that lofty position.

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

Poor scheifele.

 

[Howard Chuck]

Poor scheifele.

Lucky Jets fans.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Glad Fefe is gonna rest instead. He will have that fire burning for the stretch.

It is pathetic he is not on this team. Makes it hard to like team Canada.

 

[Bender Duster]

Wow...there was no room for Scheifele on lines 3 or 4??

Was Rob Zamuner also unavailable?

Kinda makes me want to see them get wrecked like the U20 team did, just to teach Hockey Canada a lesson

It's a "best on best" tournament... maybe try bringing your best

I think the U.S. will eat team Canada alive. I think it will be ugly.

But, but, but we need to ice 2 checking lines! It worked for the World Junior team..........Oh wait.

Also didnt help that homer Cooper brought half his team. Hagel AND Cirelli over Scheifele?? Get bent.

 

[Cypruss]

I'm most worried about Hellybuck in this useless tourney.

No real rest given, opportunity for injury.

I see no benefit, other than personal pride......but if the Jets playoffs go belly-up, again, then sigh.

This is a very unneeded interruption that holds no value (like an Olympics would) other than more money for the organizers.

 

[White Out 902]

I'm shocked at how little I give a shit about this tournament.

 

[pegcity]

I looked at the player analytics for this season on Evolving hockey. Goaltending aside, Canada has a better forward group and a slightly better defensive group.

You take away Hellebuyck and the goaltending is the same.

Again, this is just looking at this years analytics.

 

[Guardian17]

I'm looking forward to best on best hockey!

 

[White Out 902]

I'm looking forward to best on best hockey!

I'm looking forward to the playoffs. I think we're going to be in store for some magic. I will personally give Connor Hellebuyck the most incredible beej if he can be a Vezina goaltender for us in the playoffs.

You can't convince me that if he isn't he elite in the playoffs we don't win the f***ing cup.

 

[The Blue Baron]

I’m shocked your shocked!

I could give 2 shits though I’ll watch it.


My others thoughts..

Fefe no spot in THAT bottom six is a complete and utter joke!

Jets will see a benefit.

 

[Jets 31]

Go Jets Go, oh wait, damn it no Jets games for 2 weeks .....

 

[Dirtyclapper]

I don't get the resentment for the tournament, it's only 4 games. Anytime we get to see Sid in the red and white is a win, those days are numbered

 

[Jets 31]

No resentment and i will watch but i would rather watch this incredible season by our Winnipeg Jets. Sid would look even better in a Jets uniform.

 

[WolfgangPuck]

No interest.
Only watching cause there no regular NHL games

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Very excited for the tournament, can't wait for Canada vs USA

For some of us boomers, international best-on-best hockey used to mean something more than just the best players from countries playing against each other. Something was on the line, or at least it seemed that way

Growing up in the 80s, it was always a big deal to see what would happen when the Soviets played the Canadians. The 1987 Canada Cup might be my favorite hockey I've ever watched. Mario sniping high glove (while Ducky hauled the Soviet player down behind the play to create the 2 on 1) will be my favorite hockey -related moment until a Jet lifts the Cup

In the 90s, focus shifted to the Olympics and it was a huge deal for NHLers to be included and allowed to compete

This tournament seems like nothing more than a money grab... at this point in our country's slide towards post-nationalism, it doesn't even feel like I have any patriotic pride in cheering for Canada

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

That USA lineup looks damn good - and they've got Helle.

 

[hockeyarena]

Nice to have international competition back. I think the team that gives the most Fs when games get will win.
