World Cup

I was thinking today, if this was team Europe vs team Canada tonight for Olympics gold.... would I still watch the Jays game over this?

I really think I would. I just can't get behind the concept of gimmicky teams regardless of the stage.

If was Sweden Canada I think I'd still be watching the Jays heading into the playoffs though.

This is perhaps the greatest, or one of the greatest, collection of talent ever put on the same team, and Crosby is being double shifted. The guy's too good.

one of the tools who writes for tsn wrote an article about toews being the greatest team canada player because of something about winning in 7 of the 8 tournaments he has played in.

i couldn't believe that.

not only does crosby score in buckets at this stage, but he's scored huge goals and has been the team's best two way player. he just takes a big fat dump on toews. it isn't even close.

the best possible world team I could do would probably look something like this:


Datsyuk - Malkin - Kane
Ovechkin - Backstrom - Tarasenko
Gaudreau - Pavelski - Voracek
Steen - Kopitar - Wheeler
Kuznetsov - Barkov - Kucherov

Suter - Karlsson
Hedman - OEL
Chara - Josi
Carlson - Byfuglien

Schneider
Lundqvist
Bishop

Chara shouldn't be on the team and neither should Carlson.
 
Tickets yesterday dropped to $25 on stubhub from what I saw and already today tickets for game 2 have dropped from $70 last night to $50. Pretty clear that this matchup hasn't caught anyone's imagination.

I guess Team Europe has a long way to go to match up to the fabled West Indies cricket team.

Legitimately laughed out loud in real life. :lol

Apparently some radio stations are giving out tickets to tomorrow's game. I ripped on the tournament format, but I'll probably try and win some to see the clinching game.
 
Yeah, Europe winning would be one of the most embarrassing moments ever for Canadian hockey at the international men's senior level. Just ridiculously humiliating.

They need to end it tomorrow night.
 
I just hope Canada wins the next one and puts an end to the tourney already.

Such a shame that Team NA couldn't make it to the finals. That's the only way I'd be interested in how this turns out.

nah it is a best of three

it would be all the talk for the last few days and then Canada would win the series 2-1 and nobody would care that we lost one of three
 
Babcock on the brink of history

Team Canada’s coach wanted to deflect the attention away from himself, but on the brink of becoming the first-ever coach with a Stanley Cup, World Cup, World Championship, World Junior Championship and Olympic gold medal, eager questioners wanted to know: What is his secret?

“It’s called good players,” Babcock said. “I finished dead last in the National Hockey League last year over an 82-game period. Worst coach in hockey. So let’s not get carried away here. It’s been a good month.”
