I never root for Canada in these international hockey events. It’s like rooting for the Yankees or Cowboys.It’s a bit strange for me personally because I love Canada the country and have friends there but I never liked Team Canada at any level. Maybe it’s because they were real smug for a while or maybe it’s because there haven’t been any recent Caps who were mainstays on the Canadian national teams so I don’t feel any affinity towards them or maybe it’s because the prospects on Team Canada are always overrated because they’re Canadian but I just don’t like them.
I know this makes me petty but it’s nice seeing them struggle to score when they leave guys like Cristall or Nadeau off the roster because they’re stubborn and leave off more talented players in favor of plugs who can play a bottom six role. It’s nice seeing them get fed a slice of humble pie.
You may still get your wish. Unless they learn how to score they’ll drop rather quickly in the standings.Loving this pick. Kinda wish we were tanking this year lol.
Yeah but it's going to be tough to drop into the bottom eight or so. Outside of Demidov dropping due to his passport that seems like the prime area in this draft. There's still some talent outside of it but overall it doesn't look to be a great one. Still a way to go but last year was stronger IMO and perhaps by quite a bit.You may still get your wish.

Looking at the Tank standings we hold playoff spot right now and 2 points away from top 10 pick with chances of much higherYeah but it's going to be tough to drop into the bottom eight or so.

They still have some games in hand, though. I can buy 9-12 but there are a lot of bad teams that haven't sold off yet. And it's hard to expect them to fall completely off the map again like last year. Could happen. Wouldn't count on it.Looking at the Tank standings we hold playoff spot right now and 2 points away from top 10 pick with chances of much higher
