Great game

 

[Zirakzigil]

Crosby is goat.

 

[boltsfan86]

To anyone worried about the lines, don't worry. Cooper has some of the best lines in the NHL and still throws them in the blender all the time.

 

[lakeshirts37]

People not watching because they think this tournament is stupid just missed a tremendous hockey game

such losers lol

 

[PuckG]

Ugly but take the win all day.

Ekholm looked great for the Swedes.

 

[danny90]

He's showing why at his age he's still one of the best. So much of his game is between the ears.

Hes still really strong on the puck, hes lost some stamina and speed thats about it.

 

[Greatzsky 99]

100 pages, pretty good for a tourney no one was excited for

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Do we still hate Marner? Asking for a friend.

Is your friend a Leafs fan? I still hate that Marner is going to get like $14M/year.

Great player, most of the time.

 

[robertmac43]

So much fun cheering for these players that usually bring me pain haha.

 

[lakeshirts37]

Meh, OT was entertaining but didn't care much about the game otherwise.

found one!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Do we still hate Marner?

Yes.



And no.

Why didn't Dahlin play on PP or get any shifts in OT? Hedman already had a super long shift, and they already had him back out there. Makes no sense.

Why play your best player when you can play your best players from 2017-2018

Why didn't Dahlin play on PP or get any shifts in OT? Hedman already had a super long shift, and they already had him back out there. Makes no sense.

I mean, the one Sweden PP point man is Erik Karlsson. They used Hedman on the other. Hedman wound up with 27 minutes in TOI but it's not like a bunch of that wasn't because he got pinned in his own zone so long that he couldn't change more than once.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Bedard belongs nowhere near this team. Have to be able to play both ends at this level.

Does Marner play both ends?

 

[nickp91]

What a dream start to the tourney for the NHL

 

[Sasha Orlov]

People not watching because they think this tournament is stupid just missed a tremendous hockey game

I think it is stupid but nevertheless watched and enjoy it

 

[Extra Texture]

This tourney is waaaaaaay better than all stars

I was skeptical on how this tourney would be, but that was thrilling, 60+ minutes of pure skill flat out. Capping it off with an OT was just gravy. And the atmosphere was electric. Just awesome

 

[danny90]

Well,

I did say "so far."

True! there's always a post like this before whoever scores the game winner though lol

 

[Edgelord]

Eh, they can vilify Willy blowing the play at the other end to justify moving him.

tons of the best players in the game from all teams and it comes down to 2 Leaf players lol

 

[Alicat]

So maybe they’ll play other guys instead of just McDavid in OT going forward? It shouldn’t have taken that long to put Crosby in.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Lol Gretzky backpedaling now.

 

[cptjeff]

Crosby is goat.

Other players may have better speed, or a better shot, but Crosby is the smartest player in the game, and when the chips are down, still the one guy I'd choose to lead my team.

 

[Hank Plank]

Ronnie is babbling about his stories back in the day again.

 

[Chainshot]

Ugly but take the win all day.

Ekholm looked great for the Swedes.

Honestly thought he was going to end it on that OT rush. So close.
