GDT: Sweden vs. Canada | 12 February 2025 | 8:00 p.m. EST, 2:00 a.m. CET, 3:00 a.m. EET

[Muffin]

Can we get 1 shift of McDavid, MacKinnon and Crosby please?

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

On the 44 55 pairings, 55 has accept he's not the quarterback on the back end in this scenario.

55 keep doing bad 80's style dump clears, that end up in SWE possession

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Something us Leafs fans have been suffering career long, wait till you see the Americans play, you'll see a lot more of it.

Matthews being the captain was always a silly choice. Not an intense bone in his body. Should have been (Matthew) Tkachuk - he's a gamer.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

And think we already know Sid is less than 100%. What a beast

He already has won everything, but it would be nice to see him on a contender. I think he wants to retire and stay with one team.

 

[Lenny Levino]

Sweden has controlled the play the whole 2nd period though. Canada got goal thanks to Crosby's individual effort.

Also Gustavsson has been pretty terrible. Why isn't Ullmark playing?

 

[Connor McConnor]

Marner looks like he’s in playoff form. Absolutely horrendous.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Wayne Gretzky has great hair for a 90 year old.

 

[Nucks2001]

Id like to see point or Marchand on the second line in place of Marner.

Agreed. I would love to see Point with McDavid. He’s the type of player I feel would exceed with him.

If Cooper doesn’t want to mess with line 3 because they have been playing exceedingly well, I would opt for Konecny on line 1 to provide some of that forechecking. Marner moves to the 4th to maybe generate some offence with Cirelli and Hagel.

 

[WickedWrister]

#99 thinks Sid wants to show the young guys he can still play

 

[Aashir]

Filip Gustavsson should have saved the last goal .

That's the one test he got

Nylander could’ve also guarded the open man but yea it was a bad goal


I think Canada would be better off swapping Marner with Hagel/jarvis/konecny

Marner and Mcdavid are puck dominant players, and neither do great at retrieving pucks or front of the net stuff.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Can we get 1 shift of McDavid, MacKinnon and Crosby please?

The first goal

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Cherish watching Crosby play. We won't get to for long

Crosby is the best forward for sure, he has his head on.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Can we get 1 shift of McDavid, MacKinnon and Crosby please?

We already did, and I forbid it going forward.

 

[Bender Duster]

Vegas hires some interesting doctors

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Cherish watching Crosby play. We won't get to for long

 

[Summer Rose]

We already did, and I forbid it going forward.

You're fired.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Wayne Gretzky has great hair for a 90 year old.

It doesn't fall off till he hits 92.

 

[Macbanan]

I am very much entertained, but the intensity could kick up another notch I think. It looks like 80% of the players care a lot.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

14 and 12 SOG. Psh, these teams are scrubs.

 

[JPeeper]

Can we get 1 shift of McDavid, MacKinnon and Crosby please?

We did on the powerplay.

 

[ORRFForever]

Cherish watching Crosby play. We won't get to for long

Sad but true.

 

[dalewood12]

You can tell Crosby is elated to be on a good hockey team again.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Not a great night for Nylander

His center doesn't match his skillset

 

[Ezekial]

Give Raymond all the minutes.

 

[KingsHockey24]

It doesn't fall off till he hits 92.

A bald Wayne Gretzky doesn't feel right.
