PGT: Game 2 - Europe vs Canada - Canada wins the 2016 World Cup of Hockey

[kingsholygrail]

Talking about just the winning team.

Oh well yeah. 3 Hawks if you include Crawford as the backup.

 

[Claypool]

Seen Stamkos? lol

 

[BruinsBtn]

Canadian organizers should rename it back to Canada Cup, "every" fan in Europe knew who is only possible winner.

I agree with him, there was no hold there.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Boys just putting back the beers haha love it.

 

[Mpasta]

A lot of the players in the tournament don't even play in the NHL, how could that number even be close to half?

I'll admit I thought he meant team Canada but also he said they won't win awards. I'm guessing more than half have won awards or the Cup.

 

[JaegerDice]

Toews was one of Canada's worst forwards today until his last shift

What? His line murdered the Kopitar line in possession despite being buried in Dzone starts. They were excellent all night.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Deffo a penalty on Kopi. He brought his man down with a bear hug.
The one on Reider was brutal.

Toews wasn't even matched up against Kopitar, Europe had last change

 

[Mpasta]

Seen Stamkos? lol

He's worth $11m+

 

[canadianguy77]

But Toews or Marchand tho

Who cares? He'll always have his haters; just like Gretzky and Mario before him. The myopic stuff will go away after he retires.

 

[flaneur]

Impressed by team Europe. Kopitar and Josi are beasts. Vegas will try to pry Krueger from Southampton. They played a really good game and showed a lot of heart. Tip of my hat.

Sleepy 55 minutes. Exciting 5 minutes.

I'm really going to miss watching the Bergeron-Crosby-Marchand line. They were such a treat to watch this tournament.

 

[kevy999]

I agree with him, there was no hold there.

There was a big time hold , or should i say tackle lol

 

[DearDiary]

Are we just going to sit here and pretend we didn't see goalie killer Kreider ram into Price?

 

[Mpasta]

Who cares? He'll always have his haters; just like Gretzky and Mario before him. The myopic stuff will go away after he retires.

The people who wanted Marchand to win are the people who think the award is "Player who exceeded expectations" which it isn't.

However, I think Marchand was a close second.

 

[PBandJ]

There was a big time hold lol lol

Kopitar basically wrestled the guy to the ground, in no world is that not a penalty.

What? His line murdered the Kopitar line in possession despite being buried in Dzone starts. They were excellent all night.

That's great. Single game possession stats when there are 10 skaters on the ice at a time do very little to discern how an individual player performed.

Toews set up team Europe for at least 4 odd-man rushes all by himself. What a leader.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Congrats to Team Europe on a great tournament. I didn't think you guys would go this far. Congrats to the Canadians I love being a CANADIAN!

 

[fsanford]

Is Gaborik blind?

That was a legit hold directly in front of the ref.. he calls that everytime.

Kopitar was cussing going off the ice, Kopitar is not a guy who complains about refs call.

It was a weak call.

 

[Guardian17]

Go! CANADA Go!

 

[Frank the Tank]

Canada has really gone out of their way to prove that since reclaiming the throne in Salt Lake City 2002 that Turin 2006 was an outlier.

 

[PensandCaps]

Yup. The results are too obvious. And thats before considering deployment, where Toews is always facing the one hyperelite (kopitar etc) line on the other team. Simply too obvious to debate.

lets see, nope. toews aint even better than kopitar,getzlaf, bergy. or tavares. and thats just players in this game.

 

[PBandJ]

Kopitar was cussing going off the ice, Kopitar is not a guy who complains about refs call.

It was a weak call.

He was more than likely cussing at taking such a dumb penalty.

No one to blame but himself.

 

[Little Psycho]

Deffo a penalty on Kopi. He brought his man down with a bear hug.
The one on Reider was brutal.

To be fair it was against Perry

 

[The Toews Era*]

But Toews or Marchand tho

Wait i thought appeal to authority arguments didnt fly, or is that only when the media or gms praise Toews?

Bottom line, over their international careers, toews has nearly the same point production while also playing shutdown. Toews is the best, too obvious.

 

[Little Psycho]

Seen Stamkos? lol

Who?
