No line brawl

 

[guru_007]

WOW

 

[Eephus]

This is going well

 

[jamny]

Wow!

 

[dgreen]

Lolz

 

[zamboni]

No line brawl

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Okay. This is stupid.

 

[Eephus]

Who's going to square off with Michelle Kwan

 

[Snoopy]

9 seconds, 3 fights

 

[zamboni]

Who's going to square off with Michelle Kwan

Tonya Harding probably just applied for Canadian citizenship

 

[TheAristocrat]

32 penalty minutes in 9 seconds. What year is it?

 

[zamboni]

Maybe beyond Pavel Bure, don’t think I’ve ever seen a faster skater than McDavid.

It's stunning. I haven't watched all the hockey in my life but I've watched a bunch. IMO he's the best player of all time already.

Watching Tkachuk's kids playing in the NHL makes me feel old.

 

[Eephus]

This is better than any slam dunk contest

Watching Tkachuk's kids playing in the NHL makes me feel old.

The way he played, how much was he beaming with pride after those first three seconds?

McDavid and MacKinnon are two most powerful skaters ever.

Love the US puck movement on the power play

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I thought this tournament would be a lame exhibition. What do I know about anything?

 

[zamboni]

Not just McDavid but the overall team speed, skill and intensity on both sides is off the charts.

I had reservations that this tournament would be just another all-star game, but what a treat.

 

[GregR]

They making Subban sit outside or something that he needs a fur coat plus a full suit?

That’s just P.K. being P.K.

Surprising a Mike Sullivan coached team is this physical after watching the penguins for so long. But they might just be ignoring him which would be wise.

The Pens have had to morph a bit as Crosby, Malkin, Letang, etc. have aged. Obviously Sid is still playing at a very high level though.

 

[Brew Swillis]

First time in my life actively rooting against the US.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Larkin, snipe

 

[Uncle Leo]

WooHoo!!! Merica!!!!

 

[irish eyes]

First time in my life actively rooting against the US.

Why?

 

[zamboni]

Except when he turns over the puck

 

[Brew Swillis]

This is so much better than the All Star game that I don't even have a good analogy. It's like replacing Kendrick Lamar as the Super Bowl halftime show with a reincarnated Jimi Hendrix.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

"...looks like a coupla monkeys tryin' to hump a football"

 

[Andy Dufresne]

US's defensive play has been outstanding.

 

[TheAristocrat]

"...looks like a coupla monkeys tryin' to hump a football"

Easily my favorite line

 

[zamboni]

Assuming they play again on Thursday, I wish Bob Wishushen would do play by play rather than McDonough. Nothing against Sean, but Bob calls circles around him and brings incredible passion. Granted I’m a bit biased of a Bob guy as a Jets fan (he does radio play by play).

Agree with every word said here.

Except Kendrick Lamar killed

 

[GregR]

I find it really annoying and distracting when they change the graphic on the boards where the play is going on. Can't they just change it in the sections of the rink that the puck isn't in at the time?

It's actually a computer graphic. So is the graphic just inside the blue line.

If you watch NHL on HULU they usually have broadcasts for each team - and those graphics are specific to whichever team/market you're watching.

You are right about it getting annoyingly distracting.

Yeah it just annoys me when you're trying to keep track of all the players on ice to see the play developing, and get attention drawn away by a giant puck moving along the boards. If it's a graphic they could just not do animations during play, yeah.

If by "killed" you mean sucked buffalo balls, then yeah.

No that's not what I meant

 

[TheAristocrat]

Eating ice cream and watching hockey. 11 year old me would be proud.

 

[GregR]

US needs to get something going in Canada's end again. Playing too much defense.

 

[rockaction]

Matthew Tkachuk hurt.

That doesn't bode well for the U.S.A.

Wonder if he got hurt in the fight or just something else.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Some of these line combos and changes are absolutely nuts, even for a national tournament.

 

[GregR]

 

[Todem]

USA Baby……what a game guys.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Looks offside

Edit: It wasn't. USA!

 

[Thorn]

Cheapest ticket for the final is $575
