GDT: Four Nations

[voyageur]

Well that's a good start for the tournament. Marner scoring GWG good for Leafland publicity. Realistically Scheif would have looked better on Mc Jesus's wing than Marner.
Crosby getting the accolades game 1 is good for the headlines.

Not a great looking defense. Binnington as #1 goalie could be an adventure.

I don't know if MacKinnon will pass the puck to Mc David if you put them together, interesting superstar dynamic.

It was more physical than I expected. Saturday's game might actually be decent.

Scheifele should be in over Bennet/Konecny/Marchand/Hagel. As much as I hate to say it due to his Leafs association Marner deserves to be there as in addition to the offense he is an elite Penalty Killer.

I wonder if the PK isn't something Scheif asks Arniel/Chevy for next year, with the Olympics on the line, because all those guys except Marchand are PKers if I'm not mistaken. Could be the decisive factor.

Maybe he does but from a Jets management perspective it doesn't make sense to play 55 too much on the PK due to the number of mins he already plays.

 

[Hobble]

Scheifele would have scored the OT goal* even harder.

 

[Section 325]

Did they ever provide an update on Theodore's injury?

Said Theodore is done for the tournament and you can't add a player until you are down to 18 skaters . Not a bad game to watch but no Scheifele is really pissing me off. Hopefully Scheifele is as pissed as i am .

 

[Jets 31]

I am very interested in watching Connor and Helly tonight, why couldn't they be Canadian damnit . Mind you the way Canada picks it's players there is no guarantee either one would be on the team.

 

[PhilJets]

That Crosby drop pass 3 on 3 OT

when two Swedes are hovering around,

and him has to get back out of the ozone.

That is full balls, confidence and experience on an international stage.

Not many would have executed that play, at that time frame.

 

[Razzle71]

What a game... I'm saying it now, I'm so jumping on the Team Sweden's bandwagon for the final after Finland gets totally wrecked by everyone.

Just hoping Morrissey and Helle come out of this unscathed.

Ditto for Doughty who clearly isn't back up.to speed from missing the entire year until last week. Dumb decision to bring him. Parayko was cooked years ago. No interest in trading for him.

I thought Doughty and Parayko were the weak links for sure. Drew was falling allot??

 

[ps241]

Teams getting use to each other a bit last night. Some very good play and also some choppy play at times.

 

[The Blue Baron]

It would be great to see the Finns stick it to the Yanks.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Theodore to LTIR until game one of the playoffs?

Doughty was awful.
A weird sentimental pick.

 

[Jet]

Hockey Manitoba might be the worst

Man, I have stories....

So bad

 

[Jet]

You can already see some of the dipshit player selections coming into play.

Binnington, Paryako, Doughty, Cirelli, Heigl.

If we lose another top 4 D we're cooked.

Canada really needs to get out of the old school mindset. This isn't a 100+ game war of attrition, it's a short, winner take all sprint.

 

[Guardian17]

Exciting game!

I have doubts about our goaltending.

Sidney Crosby is a beast!

On to the next one!

That was a very fun game to watch. We've really been missing best on best for a long time.
