GDT: Four Nations



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

Was Rob Zamuner also unavailable?

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.

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.

Just ice your gunners and score some flipping goals for frigs sakes!

I've seen Morrissey and Parayko as 2nd pair on some reports too. I think the reporters are just guessing.
 
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.

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.
Like!

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.
 
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.

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.:naughty:

Tend to agree - the US team does in fact look like a bunch of all stars.
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.

Hagel is not a plug, but I'd definitely take Scheif over Cirelli, Point, or Konecny

I guess I'll be the contrarian and say that while Canada's goaltending is unnecessarily suspect (it'd probably be fine if they picked Thompson like they should have), the rest of the team is pretty f***ing great.

I'm not sure how you're supposed to defend one of McDavid or MacKinnon coming at you for 40+ minutes per game. Add in Makar and Morrissey on the back-end and you have a pretty insane offensive lineup.

Anything can happen in 1 game tournaments but I still take Canada. It all comes down to if we get Hellebuyck'd.
