GDT: USA VS CANADA. Part One and Part Two

[HOOats]

Mildly surprised they weren't bumping Not Like Us in the locker room.

I mean, guarantee that 95% of them far prefer Drake to Kendrick.

But this is a classic rock American cohort through and through. I remember Jack's musical tastes resembling a 97 Rock rush hour set.

For sure, just wanted to offer some millennial clarity. I do peek and see what goes on in the music thread every once in a while...

The only thing that opens the game up more is a bigger ice surface or fewer players on the ice. The skating has just evolved too much.

Coaches always find a way to adapt.

Many European rinks are bigger ice surfaces. Those leagues aren’t really known for their exciting end to end action and high scoring. Even the NHLs 3v3 OT has been slowed down quite bit. Where it’s mostly slower paced keep away hockey. There are some crazy scrambles and end to end rushes. But those things were the norm when it was first introduced.

I think @Push Dr Tracksuit is on to something by punishing the coaches with vicious and repeated jock itch outbreaks.

GO CANADA GO

yeah, Go.....please go.....as in go away

 

[HOOats]

Hockey, please never change.

The more he says organic the less believable it is

Also, from a pure skill pov tage was snubbed but I'd really love to see Zucker on this team. I think he'd be all about it

Pretty sure he is being sarcastic since he already said his brother Miller and him had a group chat saying they wanted to do it.

It was "staged" yes.. but it was real emotion and fit.

Was fantastic

Eichel's all-around game is so cool to watch now. Should have developed like that here.

He was so horrible on that Team North America 9 years ago I remember

Matthews looks way worse than usual today

The officiating in this game is funny too. When McDavid has the puck and canada is 8 feet offside, it's "let em cook lets see what happens"

US is onside on a rush and they blow it dead

I was blown away at Eichel's hustle and intensity. What a hockey stud.

There wasn't any gliding and early turn ups out of the zone from him like in his latter Sabre playing days. It just simply pissed me off that he was a Sabre once and never will be again.

What a f**k up this franchise is. We did NOT win the trade.

Slavin was impressive last night. As was the entire US D corp. But Jake really was dominant.

Slavin was unreal.

Cournoyer looking frail. Used to love watching him race around the rink. Guy had a f***ing rocket of a wrist shot too.

Yvan!! The Roadrunner!

I guess we can all see just what Bettman' tenure has done to the game we grew up with.

Richard, Robinson, Messier, Probert, Korab, Clark, etc., all would have answered the bell.

What bell?

 

[ValJamesDuex]

What bell?

the small body member, manufactured anger, with political overtones (without having the courage to actually say it) bell ?

That was pretty much known when Eichel had a Conn Smythe-esque playoffs ending in a Stanley Cup (he probably deserved it IMO).

What's another kick in the nuts for Sabres fans?

 

[joshjull]

I’m cracking up at the Sabres twitter folks still salty over Tage not being in this tourney. He would have been snapped in half during the first period of this game.

or more likely he would have contributed offensively

Who's place would he take? I love the guy, but he's a little one-dimensional for where he would slot in the lineup.

 

[Chainshot]

Eh, thought Hagel and Parayko both won their boughts - Miller got destroyed IMO - and Bennett's head flopping around as Brady beat on him was a personal moment of joy that had nothing to do with nationalities. I just love seeing Bennett's scummy self getting fed fists.

 

[Gras]

Boston didnt need to boo O Canada, that performance of it was disrespectful enough

 

[Ehran]

Seems Canada is a bit motivated early in this game.
