Since I'm an international fella.. Stu was definitely on conversations for Team Canada.. maybe 5 or 6 after slow start. I assume Talbot was too.

He's playing Hill and Hill is sub .800.

Canada may have a goaltending issue.

Why would they. The raiders are a terrible franchise and are not afraid to move the team if conditions are favourable.
There was a lot of local resistance to the Raiders coming for those very reasons. A number of the casino owners wanted the City to make a play for the Chargers instead (who at that time didn't have their own stadium).

As it is, when the Raiders play a tsunami of California fans flood the Strip for the weekend, though leaving behind the detritus of their cash ..... which is a lot since they pay for at least two days' hotel rooms, dining, gambling, shows, etc.

It’s a glaring issue for Canada. They really have nothing in the pipeline for true best on best hockey.

I’m just surprised that the raiders have any fans left.

I was going to call them the Buffalo sabres od the nfl but the raiders at least have a championship… even if it was like 60 years ago

There was a funny tweet from the Czechs



It says the 3 Czech starters have a higher percentage than all 4 nations cups team top 3 starters.

The scary part though:

Canada is at .900 with their 3 starters (at the time of the tweet)

Good news is that they have a lot of NHL goalies. The most of anyone I think. And they have 2 Cup winners out of the 3 goalies.

hope that between tonight's loss and the travel, VGK are demoralized and sluggish tomorrow. Thanks Oil!

I'll take .920 SV% on Team Canada for the tourny, even if none of goalies picked or not picked give me much confidence, including Skinner.

Canada has a pretty stacked team as well, they shouldn't be relying on their goalie to steal any games.

It s a gorgeous team. And it's hard to say anything has anything better than MacK/MaCD/Makar. US stronger on paper.

The point is though that Canada routinely went to best on bests with a stacked team and the best goalie.. Fleury, Price, Roy, Brodeur.

Eichel was incredibly noticeable today but man he flubbed all his chances. Best player for Vegas by a mile.

Congrats Vegas on the win. I can't see the TV right now but I'm assuming they dominated based on how Edmonton's commentators have been talking all night.
