GDT: USA-Norway, Dec 26, 2023

Matthews maybe? Makes no sense to complain about, and Matthews wore #19 as well if you want to talk about being bold with your numbers.

Hockey is the only sport where players can wear a number in honor of their favorite player and some old man will complain about how it’s “disrespectful”

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Both goaltenders have been excellent. Norway goaltender keeping it respectable right now.

 

[sansabri]

Norway's unis look like the old Chicago White Sox uni

 

[Hazy Little Thing]

Considering someone who is probably the greatest American hockey player of all time currently wears that number and also wears that number when playing for Team USA.

I don’t get it. Was #9 off limits at world juniors when Modano was playing in the NHL?

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

We have to thank the excellent hockey program in the Philippines for Jason Robertson.

The best player of all time wasn't even Canadian, he was Ukrainian. The only reason he even played for Canada was because of their "structural advantage".

Never said it's off limits or even out of turn to wear that number. Just that it's bold.

There’s nothing bold about it. Go yell at some clouds.

"Bold" isn't necessarily a negative.

Not the prettiest of wins but a good enough win and now they’re in all likelihood gonna be into the quarterfinals.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Oh is that the only reason they play for the US? I thought it was because they were born/raised and developed here.

Pretty pathetic to be this insecure about junior hockey.

Lane Hutson has spent his entire development in the US. His Dad played in the the US for the last 10 years of his career.

If he becomes the second coming of Quinn Hughes as MTL fans claim (LOL) guess they better thank the good ol' US of A.

John Scott is of Ukrainian descent?!

 

[JetsFan815]

Other than Brindley. Ryan Leonard was the player that impressed me the most. Takes the puck to the net every chance he gets and stays there for any dirty loose change and unlike some other "net front" types he seems to have a great hands in tight. Love these types of players, surprised he doesn't have more points in the NCAA.

 

[Joe Zanussi]

It’s a win.

Can I get a report card, missed the game.

He's ain't wearing #88.

 

[Dominance]

Wait until you find out that some players Great-Grandparents weren’t even born in North America!

You’re an intelligent poster and capable of understanding the titanic difference here.

 

[Heia Norge]

Snuggerud, the guy with the Norwegian name. Typical.

Yes typical that . Born in the state of Minnesota. Surely he is of Norwegian descent, or at least Scandinavian type.

 

[PaulD]

Can I get a report card, missed the game.

Only caught first period. America's goalie was best player. Kept ot tied 0-0.

 

[The Real JT]

Looks like both of the Isles prospects were scoreless against Finland.

 

[2014nyr]

Brindley, Gauthier, Perrault, McGroarty, Hutson...why are you so resistant to me pointing out that the majority of your top players only play for the US due to the incredible structural advantage you enjoy?

they're wearing usa jerseys. they made their decision and it's no one else's business why.

if you need to make yourself feel better about their decision, talk to a therapist.

Maybe because it makes up the bulk of your posting on this site?

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

So how many generations have to pass before born and raised Americans with any link to Canada can be considered "real" Americans? Who are you to deny them of their identity as Americans?

Your comments in this thread reek of insecurity, bordering on xenophobic.

As the gap narrows, the bitterness grows.

 

[Statsy]

What?! He's the best defender not in the NHL!



THREE N.A. models. How dare you disrespect Hockey Mexico by omitting them.

Twenty-Three. There are 23 countries in North America. Central America is more like the name of a region, but it's actually part of North America.

You learn something new every day.
