yep. seen too much hockey to know if you dont bury the chances when theyre there...its gonna burn you.

 

and thats the last guy on earth you want to leave open in the slot

Dammit let’s just leave the best player in the world all alone in the slot 10 ft away from goal and see if he can do it.

That lucky fuck Binnington

Jordan Binnington magic, just like he did to the Bruins in 2019 in that building when the Blues won the cup.

Dude McDavid is ridiculously good. Like a fucking ninja on skates. I've been saying for years that the Stars need to get him, but they can't afford him due to how many players they would have to trade.

Hey hey hey…too soon. 

NHL needs to have a 4 Nations Face off tournament every year. That was fun! It's like we get a Stanley Cup playoff like game in the middle of the season.

He got Dallas that year too in the wcf. Fuck that guy.

Fucking hell. Just imaging this team with a healthy Matty Tkachuk and Quinn Hughes. Hoping we have a fully healthy squad for Italy 2026.

All of Canada owes Binnington an apology for shitting on him over the last few weeks.

Sore-ree

Canada goalie stands on his head for 4 minutes. Made the difference. 
 

I disagree you make this every year. Play it the year before the Olympics for a good tune up. Otherwise it dilutes the international play.

👏👏

Definitely NOT “every year”.

Either:

Aay) 2 years after/before each Winter Olympics or

Bee) the year before the Winter Olympics.

yeah, in the middle of the 4 year olympic gap seems right.  kinda ryder cup-ish.

Beauty of a tournament. Luckily, we didn't see a Sweden/Finland finals. 

Nothing worse than an angry beaver......eh, boys!

Canada got hockey.  We got everything else.

That was great hockey

I know it's very Captain Obvious to say, but that was the best played hockey game I've ever seen, top to bottom.  Every single player was SO good, and it was SO noticeable in game play - passes you usually only see once or twice in a regular NHL game are happening twice a shift; guys that get knocked down are up immediately and right back on the puck, the spacing looks like it looks on the whiteboard, etc.  THIS is exactly what a true best on best all star game looks like.  Reminded me of end stage Olympic basketball or World Cup soccer.

I'm not even bummed about losing - a game like that is a coin flip on who wins.  I did think it would be hilarious if Marchand got the winner w/ his rush about a minute or two into OT, because there would have been so many conflicted feelings in the building.

Also - nice fucking choke job Matthews.  God damn Maple Leaf gonna Maple Leaf.

Officially two weeks out from the trade deadline. Time to see which teams are desperate and overestimating their chance to win the cup. I’m looking at Carolina and Minnesota.

That is what the NBA wants the in season tournament to be, but it never will.

It would really hurt feelings, so it won't happen, but the Finland team needs to be replaced with a European team.  It would be over half Finnish, but they need to get some Russians in without promoting Russia, and more importantly, guys like Draisaitl, Pastrnak, and Necas needs to be playing.

The 4 Nations Face-Off championship game between the United States and Canada on Thursday night marked the largest audience for a hockey game ever on ESPN, the network announced Friday.

The game, in which Canada beat the U.S. 3-2 in an overtime thriller, garnered 9.3 million viewers, with 10.4 million viewers at its peak.

It was also the largest audience for a non-NFL event ever on ESPN+.

----

Sportsnet reported 10.7 million people across Canada watched Thursday night -- over a quarter of the country's population.

Excluding pro and college football coverage, the 4 Nations championship game was ESPN's largest audience since the 2024 NBA Finals, when the Boston Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks four games to one.

The four games of the tournament that ESPN showed saw an average viewership of 4.3 million.

Necas, eh? You do like the Avs! I knew it!

I have always liked Necas.  If you look upthread around the Moose trade, I commented that the Avs got a really nice return.  Wasn't talking about Drury.  

I watch the Avs on Altitude, but Rycroft makes it really difficult to like them.  

Seth Jones formally requested a trade. I dunno man. I know he's good, but I don't have an urge to go get him. 

Edit: what I found in the predawn

That little look did not increase my confidence in making a trade for him.

Every team has homer announcers on their broadcasts.

Necas fits so well on the Avs with his speed.

If he wants to win so badly, he could always agree to a contract amendment that would make it easier to be traded.  But that would require he be the one to give up money, not the team.

Man, I was so in love with Seth Jones after the 2013 World Juniors.  

I could not believe that three teams passed on him in the draft.  Worse, they took scrubs like McKinnon and Barkov! 

He might be #1 on my Guys Who Had a Disappointing Career list, across all sports.

Does the NHLPA allow that?  Remember the MLBPA vetoing the ARod to Boston trade?
