Best on Best when you don't even have the best is a joke.I'm shocked at how little I give a shit about this tournament.
Wow...there was no room for Scheifele on lines 3 or 4??
Was Rob Zamuner also unavailable?
No kidding. It’s a four game tournament FFS…not four best of seven series. There won’t be time for line matching or grinding guys down in the corners.No scheifele on lines 3 or 4 is bad enough.
But the players you do invite?
Doighty hasn’t played 2 games and gets a starting position on the second d pair - pushing Morrissey and Pareto down to third pairing.
That’s almost a bigger travesty.
I’m in the watch them crash and burn phase like someone else referencing the world juniors.
I wasn’t actively cheering against Canada this past WJC but I did do a grinch smirk after every loss.
Hockey Canada is over thinking the f out of everything. To its detriment IMO.

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.

Like!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.
Then they would have played like an All Star Game and that wouldn't be fun to watch.Would have been a cooler tournament with four teams of division allstars...
I don't know, i really can't see Morrissey wanting to hurt Connor so you let up. Matthews and Marner can go at it though.I'm looking forward to watching. I don't think these guys are going to play this like an all-star game.
Once the competitive juices start flowing I think it will be good. None of these guys want to lose while playing for their countries.
Have decided to skip the first 6 steps.....then find my inner zen....Canada loses to Sweden
US beats Finland
Canada loses to US
Sweden beats Finland
Canada ties Finland
Sweden beats US in final
Sip watches Wheel of Fortune and doesn’t give two hoots about stupid 4 Nations BS
Tend to agree - the US team does in fact look like a bunch of all stars.I think the U.S. will eat team Canada alive. I think it will be ugly.

I agree and that's what bugs me about Scheifele not being on Team Canada, there are easily 4 guys on the team that Scheifele would slot ahead of.Tampa coach, oh look 3 Tampa guys on the team.Tend to agree - the US team does in fact look like a bunch of all stars.
Hagel is not a plug, but I'd definitely take Scheif over Cirelli, Point, or KonecnyLike!
All I can say is Fack John Cooper. You self righteous, faux good coach, arrogant bastard. I hate to say it but I hope this team crashes and burns.
Point for sure deserves in but these other 2 plugs!?!? FU Pooper and Hockey Canada.
