No the punisher is in the new daredevil season, or so it is rumoured.

Great if their goalies aren't puddles of mud.

I think the US goaltending carries them in the tournament.

Canada's goalies have to get hot/lucky to make it to the finals. And their blueline, after the top 3, is also questionable.

Canada can score goals, but can they score enough goals.... that is the question.

US
Sweden
Canada
Finland

On paper I think USA has the best team overall out there, but I think Canada has the elite of the elite upfront with the 2 best players of the league and then the best defenseman in the league.

Either way, I dont care all that much who wins but at this point I will most lilkely enjoy that better than watching the Habs for what left of this season. Unless maybe mtl comes back with fire in their asses after that 12 days break but I dunno about that.

you really see Sweden ahead of Canada too? damn.

Genius pick that imploded by too high expectation.

He should have been a star.

yes, it's the exact same situation.

Monty is only there because he speaks french.

- Pat1993

Yeah, I do.

Close call.

Finland is last because their D corps has been decimated and they lost their #1 goalie.

yeah, I think it'll be a close call between US and Canada, hopefully we'll see entertaining hockey.

No. Up until last year, Monty's poor career numbers were attributed to being on bad teams and takes long to develop a goalie. Not because he's just a backup who is slightly above replacement level at the NHL level. Because most starters find their game closer to 30 /s


Then when he showed some flashes of being a competent NHL goalie, it became "wait and see when he's playing on a good team." Of course, a lot of hockey media in Canada ingratiate themselves to the altar of the CH.


Now he's being outplayed by Dobes and everyone is like "the kid from Washington was skipped over for this guy?"

Their goalies are much better than Canada, but I think the defense is pretty good and a guy like Hill won the cup and did pretty well with a good defense in front of him.

Je sais pas ce que ce sera au niveau de l'intensité, on est pas aux Olympiques et ce sera une catastrophe si des gars se blessent. D'accord avec toi pour dire que c'est mieux que le match des étoiles, mais ce sera une pause plus longue aussi.

My right hip has been in pain from running after a snow fall last Thursday. So, mother nature.

Dobes has not been very good lately but I guess you missed the memo

just fall on your left hip then, or ask one of your students to kick you, you won't feel the pain in the right one as much. yw.

Not from falling, but an aching joint. Kind of thing only elite athletes would understand

It's not because the team sucks?
