Luostarainen - Lundell - Granlund
Kakko

Mikkola - Lindell
Valimaki - Maatta
Vaakanainen - Matinpalo/Jokiharju

That D is turrible

 

[hairnova]

Yup, was the worst of the four even before Heiskanen, Ristolainen and Hakanpaa were all ruled out.

 

[hairnova]

Might have to go with five forwards on the PP.

Looks like the goalie match-up will be Binnington against Gustavsson.

Guess who's complaining about the lack of francophone players at the 4 Nations?

That particular grievance train is never late and Reggie Tremblay is always driving it.

What’s that old expression about “assuming”?

I did but I don't know French so it was a waste of time

He’s lamenting the decline, not complaining about unfairness. He clearly admits there are no elites players from Quebec who should be on the team.

And somehow it must be the fault of "les autres".

Geezus Murphy, you’re deliberately illiterate.

“Faute des autres” is a rather obvious straw man which he then deconstructs and then used to segue into an analysis of the problem. Like, high school composition class.

As usual, I am stuck in a bloody strategic planning session while the game is on, I always get fucked over with meetings or shit when big games are on. I will have to record and watch later as if live. FML
