Four Nations

Yeah, that was the problem against the Americans....it was that we didn't immediately set the tone by beating people up and scoring our only goal of the game.

I fucking hate NHL coaches, they have one logic setting.

I have never liked the strategy of starting your 3rd or 4th line. Shouldn't a coach's goal be to get his best players on the ice as much as possible?

yeah i really don't think Bouchard is missed but it's pretty terrible that we aren't (can't) play Harley right now.

Oh not too bad on the boos. If we make the final it will be nuts though.

it';s a self-fulfilling prophecy - the coach chooses to bring an undertalented line for reasons, so then he has to use them in "special" duty in order to justify that choice.

Yeah it was rough. Unless you get hit by a bus, dying isn't an event but a process. A long, agonizing process. My dad took about 3 or 4 days to get there, and the process was nearly as brutal for us who had to watch helplessly as it was for him, laboring to breathe, hungry but unable to eat, thirsty but unable to drink or swallow, his skin taking on the look of wax as his organs slowly shut down and his blood pooled underneath him.

Do yourselves a failure. Write up a will with precise instructions about how you want to go or be sent off this earth. My dad had a DNR order but he didn't leave any instructions which would have made it possible for us to help end his agony sooner.

I spoke to my dad the night before the ALCS game 6 in 1992. The next day my sister phoned me and told me my dad died of a heart attack.

I have been without him longer than I had him. 32 years later still feels like yesterday

4th line immediately hemmed in their zone and out-physicalled too.

 

[WellPlayed]

So much energy by this 4th line while they’re hemmed in to start.

 

[Habspatrol]

Saving McJesus to be the 4th line to hit the ice... smartest coach on the planet.

What do you mean "did he go"? Cherry was Maple MAGA before it was cool. That's what got hin fired.

GM put that fourth line on the team for USA. Worthless garbage compared to guys that could have been dressed. Just like the leafs - scoring issues will be pointed to how they didn’t dress their best guys.

binnington looking very nervous on both saves so far.

Save us, Obi Wan McJesus, save us.

 

[Habspatrol]

Yeah... let's not put this guy on the ice too much.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

He's one of the very few Team Canada players who has earned his keep.
