"In less than an hour, fans from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the most important hockey game in the history of mankind... Mankind. That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 20th of February, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the 20th of February will no longer be known as an Canadian holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Championship!"
 


It’s always exactly what you expect.

If only Tage and Caulfield had been Rangers. US would be celebrating victory

I don't know about Caufield - all of the smaller guys got knocked around a lot. EP, Aho, Hughes were all non-factors and spent a lot of time picking themselves up off the ice. Robertson, Tuch instead of Kreider though? People who can still skate and know how to play a 2-way game? Sure.

Caulfield has more dog than at least two of those people in his sleep.

I needed goals. I left the goal scorers on the sidelines.

They scratched a guy with 30 goals, didn’t roster three guys who will combine for 100+, and averaged less than two goals per game against goalies other than against Finland.

Unforced errors
Then proceed to bench players for long periods in the championship game and gas their team.
 
Man.. Eichel shut down McDavid.. He is who you win Championships with.

Botterill and Adams absolutely devastated this franchise.

Will never forget him letting Hagel walk while he was tearing up juniors and their supposed "best" forward prospect was Alex ****ing Nylander sleepwalking in the AHL because he thought he was too good to be there
 
Anyone still taking Matthews over Eichel? Seems like one player steps the hell up in big games while the other folds.
I feel like Eichel was better offensively in Buffalo before his neck injury, but Vegas has rounded him into a two way beast.

Matthew’s doesn’t seem to have it in the big games.

Eichel was well on his way to being a 2 way beast here. The year before his injury he was a beast.

I think his offense has taken a hit because he doesn’t try and rush puck up ice and beat people on the rush.

He plays a much more mature and cerebral game
