I was watching the other game, apparently Michalek kicked Varlamov? Wut

 

[User 479360]

Norrison is a very underrated hitter.

He also got ran over a couple of times too.

Do you whisper sweet nothings to pictures of Karlsson before going to sleep at night?

I think this is bordering on obsession.

He's a great player, though.

 

[calder]

God it must be so annoying for Finnish fans to play Sweden. Always the underdog, play reasonably well for a bit then PK and instant Swedish goal.

Loui+ Sedins will keep the Nucks away from picking to early in the draft, feels good

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Finland needs Lehkonen

Wrong quote but right opinion

 

[Pikma]

Habsland needs Lehtonen

I agree cat, I agree

You're right, it IS pretty cool that the Canucks will have just enough talent to make sure they don't draft in the top 5 while they flub their rebuild.

You'll do the same thing with Mathews shortly. Don't worry you'll get a great player to gush over too, more ways than one.

Nah. Three old, soft Swedes will fade away in the second half of the season, guiding the Canucks comfortably toward a lottery pick

How did I put myself in a position were im supposed to defend the Sedins. First time in my life. Help me Tabris.

Haha

Not to that extent

I'm just bugging you, though.

The Sedins are overrated. I'll probably get shit on for saying this, but I just don't really like them. They're talented, but I don't think they're as great as people say they are.

Then again, I hate the Canucks.

PLEK'NEX

 

[PillarEN]

lol. Czechs tied the game

 

[CreeperBlocks]

PLEKANEC

 

[calder]

Glad the Czechs tied it, they were so due

 

[zroid]

I love how happy the Czechs were when they equalized

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Zaitsev is a great skater.

 

[zroid]

This OT man

Zaitsev made a nice quick pass to spring Ovechkin on a breakaway

 

[CreeperBlocks]

THIS OT IS GREAT

 

[PillarEN]

Whistles have been confiscated

 

[calder]

"Overtime will be alternating breakaways for 5 minutes. Any questions?"

 

[PillarEN]

Why didn't they zamboni the middle of the ice. conspiracy

 

[Socreges]

Neuvirth wow

 

[CreeperBlocks]

CZECHS WIN

 

[PillarEN]

good vibes after that win. Glad the Czechs play against Canada and the US so I can rib my buddies from over there.

 

[zroid]

looks like home teams will stay undefeated

 

[Cake Boss]

Wtf Batista.

 

[DopeyFish]

fight fight fight

Strange that you'd hold this opinion. You've possibly seen them at their best:

 

[zroid]

WoW Koivu, nice goal

great feed from Donskoi too

Please tell me how they are overrated.

Just so we're on the same page:

1) They are both about to hit the 1,000 points mark. Most likely this season.
2) Henrik Sedin has the highest points of any active 35-year old in the league.
3) They both have an Art Ross. One of them has a Hart trophy, the other has a Lester B. Pearson (who cares about Ted Lindsay compared to a Canadian hero).

Do you consider any of these other players overrated?

2005–06 Joe Thornton Boston Bruins/San Jose Sharks C 1
2006–07 Sidney Crosby Pittsburgh Penguins C 1
2007–08 Alexander Ovechkin Washington Capitals LW 1
2008–09 Alexander Ovechkin Washington Capitals LW 2
2009–10 Henrik Sedin Vancouver Canucks C 1
2010–11 Corey Perry Anaheim Ducks RW 1
2011–12 Evgeni Malkin Pittsburgh Penguins C 1
2012–13 Alexander Ovechkin Washington Capitals RW 3
2013–14 Sidney Crosby Pittsburgh Penguins C 2
2014–15 Carey Price Montreal Canadiens G 1
2015–16 Patrick Kane Chicago Blackhawks RW 1

And if you want to bring up the Stanley Cup conversation - Only half of those players have won a Stanley Cup.

What would it take for you to think they are great players? Also most fans outside Vancouver, and occasionally in Vancouver, hate on them because they play a European skill cycle game instead of goon hockey or speed game. Hating on the Sedins is the same as MMA fans who can't appreciate BJJ because it's "just grappling and boring" when it's actually a technical showcase on amazing skills.

USA is gonna win another meaningless game. I hope Canadians are willing to accept that their home team's just not strong enough. Mentally and physically.

 

[zroid]

Chewie look what you've done

 

[Tabris]

Team Canada lost to the US in the 2010 Olympics group stage. I was at that game. It's no concern. Team Canada always needs the group stage to get shit together.

We'll knock out the US in the knock out rounds like we've done in the last 2 olympics.

...or another way of saying it:

 

[calder]

Suomi 😭

 

[righthandmouse]

New tournament. New year. Stronger team. USA is gonna steam roll over other teams. Like they did last night.

Dirty hits and soft goals will lead the Americans to the Cup!

Stick around, patriot.

I am. I'm actually running to the store now for burgers, coors light, and potatoes. I got 4 hrs till I get to enjoy my home team dismantle Canada. I'd get fireworks, but they're illegal here.

This is the shit coming from meaningless pre-tournament games, I cannot wait for the tournament to actually start.

I'm warming up to the whole World Cup thing.

 

[firehawk12]

Why is there a Team Canada/USA and a Team North America?

 

[ElephantShell]

Why is there a Team Canada/USA and a Team North America?

Team NA is players from Canada and the USA who are under 24 years old.

 

[Samyy]

Why is there a Team Canada/USA and a Team North America?

Its bad naming, team NA is basically a young stars team of all the best U24 players in North America.

Nice freedoms you got there for the freest country in the free world.
