GDT: The Four Nations Tournament Thread

[Lat]

Wow, Crosby's passing...

 

[wonton15]

Pettersson and Forsberg look awful together. Abandon that trade idea.

Kempe looks good with him but Forsberg has been invisible

 

[VancouverJagger]

Crosby..........

 

[Tables of Stats]

Crosby is so good at using his body to make space.

 

[moiderer]

Zibanejad masterclass tonight.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Crosbys still the best man

He never wasn't. People saying Croz fell off how his last album was the Chronic.

Seriously. Never doubt 87. He's even better than Datsyuk was.

 

[VancouverJagger]

What? WHAT?

BRought some life to the game that Sweden goal........

 

[ephmrl]

Based on this game, the Canucks need to send all their future assets to Pittsburgh for Crosby and Rakell

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Binner needs to settle it down, he's at like a 9 and we need him at like a 6.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Nylander in no man's land.

 

[wonton15]

Imagine if we traded JT for Zibanejad and we had to watch a Pettersson Zibanejad one two punch

 

[racerjoe]

Would have liked to see Petey go to the net there

 

[andora]

Reading this thread is far more entertaining than I'm sure the game is, this is hilarious

 

[wonton15]

Pettersson gives us glimpses of good possessions and then does nothing with it

 

[VanillaCoke]

All this does is makes me wish the Nucks were playing tbh

Two weeks rest for Yung Q is best case scenario rn

He did his patented pass it back to the point move. I bet Tocchet is cursing from the bench right now and he's on the other team.

At least Pettersson doesn't have a quote in the media saying that hockey isn't even his main passion.

 

[wonton15]

Imagine if Pettersson comes out of this tournament even more deflated and looks worse

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Chris Cuthbert must be contractually obligated to mention Mitch Marner whenever he's on the ice. Only reason so far you'd know he's there.

Rickard Rakell doing the Pens a favour by showing well as a trade target.

Marner's a guy I've been trying to watch, and I just can't find the guy out there.

Edit:

Ok, thanks Cuthbert.

 

[Peen]

That zibanejad pass out front there was so stupid it almost worked

 

[racerjoe]

He did his patented pass it back to the point move. I bet Tocchet is cursing from the bench right now and he's on the other team.

I would say, and this isn’t supposed to be a complement, but he is definitely not close to the worst Swede right now.

 

[ephmrl]

Sweden's defence looks elite. Bratt, Rakell, and Raymond all look good up front. Zibanejad looks bad and is getting way too much ice time, Forsberg looks bad, Pettersson is a non-factor.

 

[wonton15]

Sam Hallam’s dump and chase system is the reason Pettersson curled back on a 2 on 1 and passed it to the point. Hire Tocchet

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Nylander in no man's land.

Dude all the Leafs in this tourney are going to look like ass. They play like the spoiled rich kids who get dummied by the Mighty Ducks.

Pretty much agree. D looks fantastic but it feels like Sweden whiffed on all the winger combos besides Rakell and Raymond.

Zibanejad might be the worst C on the team, while Forsberg and Nylander are puck hogs trying to drive the puck through a crowd. Petey needs the puck in transition with guys who will either crash and bang or at least skate into open space.
