Tested positive for covid before leaving the states

Yeah, I knew about Covid, but in the 1st period he
was behind his net on the boards and was hit in an awkward position and looked like he was really laboring in his mobility immediately after the contact. I was concerned about his status but he looked ok later. US is cooked w\o him that's how good he is.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Because it's a best on best without the best facing the best.

I've been watching HS, NCAA, AHL, NHL and Olympic Hockey since literally 1968. The game
last night was very entertaining.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Not me. My wife just told me the US won. I was like, who cares? I mean, I'd like to be happy but this is just a bunch of guys wearing their country's jersey. That's it. It holds no meaning for me and I'm not watching it.

Good wont have to see anymore horrible takes like this.

I’m surprised he didn’t turn pro after last season. Obviously I’m glad he didn’t but he’s as good as gone after this season. He’s a treat to watch playing for UND

 

[KillerMillerTime]

I mean...I hope they win, but I don't exactly care that much. The hockey just hasn't been very good.

So does that mean you can't enjoy the game at any level but best on best? I guess that means we should only have 6 teams in the world made up of
Canada, US, Sweden, Finland, Russia and CR. Anything else, why bother watching?

Exactly. If one only watches hockey when it’s the best in the world playing they are missing out

On a totally unrelated NoDak note, my sons public HS line mate back in Mass was recruited by NoDak
back in 2005 out of the USHL. I was shocked they went after him. Can't imagine they have tried to recruit many Boston area kids and he went Hockey East.

Team USA is the defending U20 IIHF champs.

Yes they do very well in u18 and u20 tournaments. But no breakthrough on senior level yet.

Hopefully they can materialise all that great talent into a title in a international senior tournament soon.

 

[Urbanskog]

Maybe a dual citizen they can play for Finland.

Unless the baby's mother is Finnish, no.

 

[ORRFForever]

Just like in any other tournament, the loss will be the best thing for Canada. I liked what I saw from Canada in the 2nd and 3rd period - minus the lack of finish and piss poor goaltending.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Unless the baby's mother is Finnish, no.

She is from what I can tell.

Exactly this.. unless a team wants to go undefeated all the way to gold. Early losses CAN be a good thing.

 

[ORRFForever]

This was a harmless thread for an entertaining game with a bunch of players no one has heard of (in years) and it turns into endless insults when posters wake up and see the results of a game they didn't stay up and watch. Shame.

 

[rocketman588]

Whoever thought Julian was a good idea is a complete idiot

Holy shit did this look like some classic 2019 Habs hockey

We're also supposed to be physical but not fast ( which is stupid) but don't lay the body

McTavish is the only one who actually looks good

Why Levi isn't playing/ dubnyk got left home makes me question if we actually know what we're doing

 

[ORRFForever]

Amen, brother.

If you aren’t watching please kindly exit the thread. Contrary to what you may believe, nobody cares what you are personally interested in watching.

If I don’t watch a particular tv show or listen to a band, I dont barge into discussions about that show or band to let people know I dont watch or listen and that I don’t care.

[ORRFForever]

Have to admit, I really enjoyed the game last night - it was so much fun to watch.

TBH, If it had been best on best, I would have been sick before, during and after the game - to the point where I would not have enjoyed the hockey. Instead, I got to cheer for Canada and be entertained by a terrific game.

Well done USA on the win.

 

[rocketman588]

Amen, brother.

The biggest issue is that we look horrific/ that we have no clue what we're doing and the team looks slow they got blown by all game

Don't worry about it and enjoy the hockey.

I'll double down on this as a mod.

 

[ORRFForever]

Why would I watch if I didn't care/ worry about the result lol

Of course I'm going to be pissed if we look like trash

It's not like it's been high quality you watch because you want to see the win

I'm not saying you can't be invested or care but...

It was a harmless round robin game and, minus the first period and piss poor goaltending, Canada played well. This loss will be a positive.

I more upset about the curling than last night's hockey game.

Our curling is definitely more worrying I have no clue what's going on

Our head coach is trying to play this like it's the 2009 cup finals and we're most likely about to get garbage dumped
