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

[xxxx]

I'm glad this farce is over.

so you don't have to keep posting in threads about tournament you don't care about, am i rite?

 

[The Toews Era*]

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

Just like game 1 when toews had best possession on canada vs toughest competition. Classic toews. Just so obvious hes by far the best canadian in best on best.

 

[Brie]

Congrats Canada!

Can't help but laugh at the design of the trophy, it looks like an umbrella-stand.

Also the player’s looks pretty confused about what they were supposed to do, they were just standing around the ice waiting until moving into the locker room.

 

[kevy999]

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

It was a weak call.

Are you blind? lol he tackled him to the ground. In what world is that not a penalty?

 

[The Toews Era*]

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.

Single game? Lol try his whole canadian career, best possession and toughest matchups. And nearly same pointscoring as crosby to boot. He absolutely skinned kopitar head to head as well.

RIP Marchand - Crosby -Bergeron line

We barely knew ye

What a glorious time it was

 

[Beau Knows]

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.

No he doesn't:

Toews:
49 points in 54 games
0.9ppg

Crosby:
64 points in 53 games
1.2ppg

I am a huge Toews fan, but just watch the game with some objectivity. Crosby is everywhere. All the time. The guy is so good it is ridiculous at times. Toews is clutch and gets big points, But he is no Crosby.

you reek of desperation... Stop. its not working on anybody..

also Toews 49 points in 53 games
Crosby 64 points in 54 games.....

Not even close, little man.

 

[JaegerDice]

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

They were hard matched against the Kopitar line. They just switched on the fly to get the matchup. They also played against other lines obviously, as they were sent out for almost every dzone draw.

yah and if toews is lucky he'll get 60 points this season. truly the best player in the game.

No actually i saw a few players lift the trophy and skate with it and kiss it.

 

[The Toews Era*]

No he doesn't:

Toews:
49 points in 54 games
0.9ppg

Crosby:
64 points in 53 games
1.2ppg

Huh? Thats definitely within the realm of close. Now when you factor in their deployment, super obvious who the best is. Too obvy.

 

[Neely2005]

He had 1 SH goal and tied with 5 other players for most GW goals...

So what I said then. Most Goals, Most Game Winning Goals and Most Short Handed Goals.

 

[TheStatican]

Awesome GDT guys. Have to say the comments were actually better than the game.

The SuperJuicer 5000 is coming home baby!!!!!

That trophy just kills it. Good job guys, you get...this thing.

Why are they holding up an umbrella stand??

It looks like a vase my grandmother had from the 70s.

The hilarious thing about the trophy is the one in 2004 was even worse, so Gehry went back and spent 12 years redesigning it.

Sharks players winning for once

The only time Thornton will raise something over his head.

Sid makes sure a Shark gets it first just to rub June in a little more.

If they got another PP they would have lost by 2.

Awesome production here.
"Celebrate goooood times" (cue to shot of dejected european)

This 37-87-63 line was unreal. Like a video game come to life with god mode on.

 

[Little Psycho]

I'd be surprised if a team full of superstars DIDN't dominate team Europe. This wasn't Canada vs Russia/Sweden.

 

[PB37]

Toews does it AGAIN. Simply the best best on best player in the world, maybe ever by his results.

Lol, he wasn't even the best player in the tournament. Crosby, Marchand, Bergeron all were far and away better and more instrumental than Toews this tournament.

 

[Sheppy]

Huh? Thats definitely within the realm of close. Now when you factor in their deployment, super obvious who the best is. Too obvy.

Dude. stop.

 

[ModryJazyk]

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

It was a weak call.

It's definitely not something to call 3 min to the end in one goal, tournament deciding game.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Huh? Thats definitely within the realm of close. Now when you factor in their deployment, super obvious who the best is. Too obvy.

15 more points in 53 games isn't close, no.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Huh? Thats definitely within the realm of close. Now when you factor in their deployment, super obvious who the best is. Too obvy.

Yeah all Toews needs is one 15 point game and it's even

 

[kingsfan28]

isnt Carter still hurt?

Carter was hurt before the tourney, not during it.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Congrats Canada!

The most hideous trophy in sport, and I defy anyone to find one worse.

The players literally have no idea what to even do with it.

THAT is what happens when someone thinks it is time to get artistic and they commission someone with an important name to get involved.

It should have been a big cup on a stand. Or use the half leaf Canada Cup trophy. Not this abomination.

 

[Beau Knows]

Uh no it's not. 0.9 ppg is a 74 point season, 1.2 is a 99 point season. Massive difference.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I was wondering when people who were sick of mocking Doughty and Quick would find a way to slag Kopitar. Those terrible ass Kings amirite.

Was a fun tourney, probably would have had a more enthusiastic ending if it didn't bleed into training camp and exhibitions imo.
