World Cup

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.

Crosby's second Cup has helped slow these idiots down with this nonsense... but you still hear some of these tools bullshit from time to time. Crosby is easily the best player in the world... and Toews isn't even close to 2nd.

Crosby's offensive numbers in the past couple international tournaments have indeed been a little underwhelming.

But more than anything, it's just media wants to look for a story and create controversy between #1 and #2 ... remember all the Laine is better than Matthews talk at the draft?
 
The idea of gimmicky teams was dumb right off the bat. Must have either been a bunch of yes men/women in that decision room or a classic case of group think.
 
I caught this game on ESPN 2 south of the 49th again.

I have to say that I've really grown to appreciate Brad Marchand's game. He's a pretty great little player.

Highlight of the broadcast for me was between periods, the panel was Brett Hull and Chris Chelios. They got to the video of Matthews breaking the glass in practice and Steve Levy made some comment about how "Brett Hull would have done that" and Hull deadpans back: "I would have hit the net."

Awesome.

Actually ESPN did a great job. I started watching the tournament in Canada with the usual suspect broadcasters, but ESPN rolled out the aforementioned Chelios and Hull, had Kevin Weekes as the on ice guy, and of course the Godfather himself, Barry Melrose in the house.

Great finish.
