Prediction Contest: The Sprint to the 4 Nations

[Madap]

Marner is playing for team Canada, the USA or SwedA don’t have a Sid or McDavid.

I mean, USA has a Quinn Hughes who is better than Makar this season and Quinn wasn’t even named anything.

Looks like Sweden have an extra assistant captain so I guess they felt Nylander was really deserving. If Canada felt Marner was deserving of an A they would have given him one.

Neither Matthews for the C or Nylander for the A would have been my choice, but the countries feel differently I guess.

I'm sure Marner, Mackinnon and Marchand can console each other over their snub.

Mac and Marchand would have been next in line, imo.

It’s not about better than or worse than.

Anyone see the spitting chiclets tweet saying that the Bruins wanted Toronto in the first round? Pretty embarrassing look for this franchise to add to its extensive list.

More interestingly enough it confirms what a lot of posters were theorizing that they didn’t want 1st in the division to avoid Tampa. The usual posters of course said that’s ridiculous but they ended up being wrong as usual.

Because you don’t agree with how players are deployed that doesn’t mean they are getting special treatment. Is Nylander given special treatment by being on both PP units?
Is Knies getting special treatment because he gets PK time?

I think when their deployment is dictated by their preferences and independent of period to period, game to game, week to week efficacy and immune to adjustments when everyone else is in the blender… yeah I do think they get preferential treatment.

The existence of preferential treatment for star players isn’t a special or controversial point. They just get above and beyond what Nylander does.

The Bruins have Toronto’s number so it’s not surprising. We match up better with Tampa than Boston for example.

Don't see it. Either I'm not looking close enough or your seeing what you want.
All good.

Well, if we then put the spotlight on Auston vs Mitch, I’m sure you’d have a bone to pick with the unfair treatment between the two of them.

Their deployment is dictated by the coach's preferences.

I don't think any of them are unfairly treated.
