And people were saying it would be all star game intensity. I wish all star games were like this.

Agreed. McDavid is on the hunt out there for the puck and it just keeps finding him every shift. It ain't even fair to watch him try to feed Makar pinching up into the play.. not to mention Crosby and Mack are terrifying on the ice together.

 

[sepHF]

McDavid is electrifying tonight

So, those who thought this would just be all star game hockey with players not caring already proven very wrong. First best on best in a decade? Turns out they care.

As I'm watching this I'm pleasantly surprised. I was definitely one of the people that expected another boring all star game. Happy to be wrong on this one....

 

[Grub]

Mcdavid flying.

 

[Sniper99]

Best on best (sans Russia)

Emphasis on glorified if you missed that part of their comment.

Harder skating undoubtedly.

What a joke. That's a complete crock of shit and you know it.

Just shows how clueless some people are on here.

 

[NyQuil]

Good try by Toews.

 

[Felidae]

That's my boy Forsling! Solid defense

Tonight?

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

no call ?

 

[Chainshot]

Zibby again looks like he's in warmups, not already playing the game.

 

[heretik27]

As someone who watched Stamkos slide into the posts like that... my butt clenched.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I really think Sweden will rethink leaving Andersson out. The pace of the game.. having a d play off sides at the offensive blue is so difficult.

 

[Suntouchable13]

If you don't allow any shots then it doesn't matter who your goalie is

 

[RedRocking]

The fact that Mika is on a top line is kinda embarrassing for SWE

 

[Grub]

Lets see if Sweden can settle this.

 

[ElysiumAB]

Chelsea Dagger follows me everywhere.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Sweden doesn’t have a shot yet

 

[Matt24]

Finland is going to have nightmares with Canada’s top 6

 

[WarriorofTime]

Announcer said Pietrangelo is injured but I thought he just bowed out.

 

[cptjeff]

Best on best (sans Russia)

Russia is currently banned from international play for a reason.

 

[Czechboy]

Toews with a nice move... I don't see him enough so I'm more of a statwatcher but he looked great there. Feel like Canada is off to a nice start. Swedes need to keep it close. They are better than this. Slow it down (which their D can do) and try and counter attack. They still got a very good chance but a 2 - 0 lead would be a problem for them.

 

[FDBluth]

It's so cool watching teams with no plugs on them. Crispness of play is at another level

 

[Gnome17]

Sweden cant string 2 passes together..
