I don't like the way Subban makes pad saves. Looks weird.

I'd cut McNeil some slack. His first game and he didn't get the exhibition games. I do agree with his skating. Big ice is perimeter hockey and umbrella offence. McNeil's game is a small ice type.

Murphy sucks. Hickey wasn't even good in his last WJC. He was on the ice for every awful breakdown team Canada had that year.

The Spengler Cup looks like a blast in the stands and JT is a (frank)ing beast. Cam Barker still sucks though

Canada'll get walked on if they play that way against the russians..

I think the Fins have the best team from everything I've read. I've heard that the US made the mistake of taking a small ice team over there. I guess we'll have to see.

My apologies. I was under the impression that you were unhappy with the system. Not that you were implying that the system was rigged.

I sure to god hope there's a regular season. If not, we're going to see some Bettman lottery magic.

God Bernier sucks. Fought the puck all game by blocking the puck versus making saves and then he goes and (frank)s his own ass with both legs by doing some kind of (frank)ing dumbass save attempt that no damn goalie school would ever teach yet this is the same (frank)ing idiot who's supposed to be some super great upcoming goalie, who sucks, and was supposed to be twice as good as Quick.

Fins look like the team to beat in my opinion.

Idk that I'm all that crazy about Canada's D for some reason.

I also wouldn't be surprised to not see Team USA in the final four. They made a mistake by not keeping Tom Wilson.

No idea why I wrote USA

And I was dead serious when I said that, I seriously wouldn't be surprised to see Canada not make the final four. I have reservations about Subban and the D. They obviously won't have problems scoring, it's preventing them that could pose trouble. But hey, with NuHop on the team, they could probably score their way to a medal at the very least.

Russians didn't look very good against Slovakia today and Yakupov was invisible (not even on the ice for the game winning power play goal).

Clouts, I am unsure of what you expect of Griffin Reinhart. The fact that you didn't notice him is a good thing. He is just a solid defenseman. He won't wow you, because he does the little things in the right way.

That part is true. Thr invisible part was the part that smelled of manure.

I didn't really notice him either way. Russia wasn't great though. At all.

Except Grigorenko. He may be the best player in the world right now.
