Did you ever read the emails when the NHL got sued for concussion reasons? Bob McKenzie is a humongous arse. The court release about 10,000+ emails and Bob was actually emailing Colin Campbell to get players suspended. No effin' joke here. He's a scrub.

Sure.
So maybe coach your team so they aren't running around in a tight 3-3 game with minutes left on the clock?
My wife and I raised seven kids, and we gave up hockey for downhill skiing. We could afford that much more easily, and we could all ski together.

Robbed Sale twice in the first, should’ve been 5-1 Czech. He kept it close. Dickinson pawed a puck into the net, Bonk thought the jumbotron was more interesting than 2 Czechs racing down the ice. What can George do in those situations??
Did you watch the game or just peek at the box score?
I never thought his googly eyed face could be more punchable, but here we are. Second most punchable face in Canada to our PM. He truly was a low intelligence coach who never had anything meaningful to say after getting out coached over and over again.
That hockey bill would have had you working for the cartels ;-)
But it was a kneeing pen. I don't give an f***, if it is an entire body on the knee or a random piece of body hitting the knee, it still is a horrible potential-causing play that deserves punishment. I thought it was more of a minor than major though, but a right call in the end.

Team Canada's problems
1) No discipline--blame the refs as much as you like but the players could not play it clean
2) Team Canada was built wrong. They left off some high scoring players off the team

I quit hockey at major bantam for skiing.
Mainly because my team that year was full of colossal douche bags and I was like, “I don’t need this.”
Telling the coach to f*** off, saying they couldn’t be benched because their parents would get involved, etc.

I wonder if the sanctions put on Hockey Canada due to the incident in 2018 are having a detrimental effect now with the funding being cut

I believe the US has more registered minor hockey players now.
If it wasn't for the NCAA, our women's hockey team (Canadian) wouldn't be as successful.
It might not happen for a few decades, but eventually the majority of NHL players will be American.
When Bettman says "growing the game" he means in the USA.
Where do you think USA hockey gets finances from for the NTDP.

Effortless sexy.
He's a lousy coach everywhere. He is a loser. I hope the 67s dump him end of season; no, he won't wi na Memorial Cup, winning isn't his vibe.
Still, Canada was extremely disorganized and reverted to safe outside shot plays while Czechia was like a machine out there, moving in tandem and rarely getting drawn into shenanigans.
Clean out detritus like Seabrook and Cameron and co. bring in young men to make the roster, go for it soon.

Nope, that's dumb. You're calling a good hit based on a potential injury. If you did that every single hit could end up as an injury. You call them how they happened, not what could have happened. It wasn't a knee on knee hit, it was chest to chest.
The weird thing with Canada is the way some guys get enshrined somehow in our high level national program, yet without the achievements that warrant it,
We are kind of stupid about hockey, which is rather ironic

I don’t think so. They could have picked a better team by just going on HockeyDB and looking at draft position. No scouts or “management” would have been needed.
I grew up playing hockey almost every day, outdoors, from November to March in the prairies. It was almost free.
There were no video games, streaming or home movies, and only one TV station and two radio stations -- including the CBC.
There was nothing else to do all winter long.
I'm hooked for life, but in my household I watch hockey alone. No one else is the least bit interested.
Basketball, now that's another story.

The 1st and 4th were stoppable. Really needed that save with 39 seconds left. Every goalie has these circumstances, definitely shouldn't have been 5-1 Czech, that's ridiculous.

He won WJC gold in 2022 but that tournament was kinda wonky with the pandemic iirc. That event took place over the summer, bubbles iirc.
He's otherwise a lifetime loser and should be treated a radiocactive.
