I don’t think Canada has the best roster at the tournament, but if those boys have any pride whatsoever with this 51st state talk, they better hand the USA their asses Saturday. Preferably while being very mean about it. - ThreadSky

i bet the number is greater than zero of canadian players who would welcome being 51st state

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

Wouldn’t doubt it at all. Tons of them love the orange loser.

jrmccranker.bsky.social•18 days ago

Pretty telling to see Wayne Gretzky absent from this event. In the past he would have been front row centre. Shame? Embarrassed? Regardless, he deserves it.

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

That’s what happens when you’re a traitor!

jrmccranker.bsky.social•18 days ago

But let's be honest-- probably over 90% of the hockey fraternity are probably MAGA and most of the Canadians. Is Mario a Canadian-American citizen now? Big ovation yesterday but I'd bet money on him being MAGA too. The wealthy live in a different world than we do.

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

I don’t disagree

krampuslindholm.bsky.social•18 days ago

Mark Stone is absolutely scoring an own goal

jaredof.bsky.social•18 days ago

canada is basically going to live and die by goaltending, if they play binnington again after last night they're asking for it

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

jaredof.bsky.social•18 days ago

help us Aiden Hill, you're our only hope

rookie1.bsky.social•18 days ago

I don’t agree Andrew. We have the best 4 players in the tourney in McDavid, Crosby, McKinnon, Makar. Sorry I dont think Matthews, Hughes and the Tkachuk brothers stack up.

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

Goaltending is where Canada’s vulnerable.

rookie1.bsky.social•11 days ago

Told ya it wouldn’t matter Andrew lol!

rookie1.bsky.social•18 days ago

Won’t matter. Over 82 games you might be right. This is too short of a tourney. The main guys will be the difference as we saw last night with Sid. The Americans have no one that can/will take control of a game like that. We have 3 forwards and a defensive that alone can just win the game for you.

nxazdievokfmpzqvgp.bsky.social•18 days ago

Who do you think should start in net?

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

Monty

nxazdievokfmpzqvgp.bsky.social•18 days ago

Bell Centre crowd with Monty in net would be special...

jacktodd.bsky.social•17 days ago

They don't. But the US has one great goaltender and for Canada there's no Roy or Brodeur in sight.

rookie1.bsky.social•17 days ago

Do they have a great goaltender though? He’s never won anything in his career. Like not even junior level from what I can see. Looked human to me last night.

jacktodd.bsky.social•17 days ago

He's human. But he's the nearest thing to great goaltender the league has at the moment.

rookie1.bsky.social•11 days ago

Still hasn’t won anything Jack! Lol. Great win!!!

bribsey.bsky.social•18 days ago

McDavid regularly plays with better linemates in Edmonton than he’s been saddled with in this exhibition tournament.

After the players you listed, there’s no depth on the Canadian roster.

jacobwolpert.bsky.social•18 days ago

3 out of the 4 goals scored by Canada last night were from our "no depth" players.

bribsey.bsky.social•18 days ago

Looking at the boxscore, 2 of those 3 “depth” goals were set up by Crosby.

jamesslater7.bsky.social•17 days ago

Put a picture of John Ferguson up to inspire them

1chrisc1.bsky.social•18 days ago

I hope you’re right but I don’t like our chances with Hellebuyck in net for the US. People raved about Binnington’s play. He was good in OT, but also let in 2 softies or the game never gets to OT. I guess we’ll see.

jacktodd.bsky.social•17 days ago

Goaltending is definitely the problem and they could have had Thompson.

ronhabsfan.bsky.social•18 days ago

No need to make hockey political, it’s the farthest thing from it. Even back in the day Red Army vs NHL teams,
Not exactly
Good vs evil. Now if it was Trudeau vs Trump in a ring, whole other story.

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

Everything is political, Ron.

ronhabsfan.bsky.social•18 days ago

We need separation for sanity though!

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

There is no way to have national level competition and not have anything about it be political.

jacktodd.bsky.social•17 days ago

Not when one nation is threatening to annex another or destroy its economy or both and they meet in a hockey tournament.

berkshire.bsky.social•17 days ago

And anyone pretending those threats aren’t already hurting the economy is crazy.

javiatordenver.bsky.social•17 days ago

Binner will need to have the game of his life.

totsam.bsky.social•18 days ago

Time to show the crack den to the south what we're made of

totsam.bsky.social•16 days ago

🤬

dunnman7.bsky.social•18 days ago

Our generation’s Summit Series…

agent86-fan.bsky.social•18 days ago

Absolutely!

jacktodd.bsky.social•17 days ago

Honestly, not even close.

dunnman7.bsky.social•17 days ago

You’re right, the USSR never actually vocalized annexing Canada like USA.

berkshire.bsky.social•17 days ago

The USSR had more integrity.

vernfaulkner.bsky.social•18 days ago

So, what you're saying is that if Brad Marchand slewfoots some American, we should be ... happy?

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

No! Play it clean, but hammer them every chance.

vernfaulkner.bsky.social•18 days ago

OK. But do I have to like it if Brad Marchand does something good?
It's a difficult feeling.

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

The worst. He always shows up for Canada, too.

carolcook75.bsky.social•18 days ago

They have MacKinnon and Makar, so I wouldn’t count them out.

jchliboyko.bsky.social•18 days ago

Let's Bobby Clarke some American legs.

cords558.bsky.social•18 days ago

The players aren’t part of it. It’s our insane idiot sitting in the Oval Office playing President that’s pushing this garbage. After Trudeau is gone, the idiot will probably drop it because he’s just doing this to get back at Trudeau because he knows Melania wants to boink Trudeau.

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

He won’t stop. It’s not about JT, it’s about resources and control

ericblairvoyant.bsky.social•18 days ago

Almost half the voters chose this treasonous bloated obviously-full-of-shit Putin-licking Clown. Half the voters deserve the contempt of the entire world. Fuck em up, Canada (even tho they have their own inbred redneck Conservatives).

northernboomer.bsky.social•18 days ago

They do have the best 4 players in the tourney tho!!

chriswalker1964.bsky.social•18 days ago

Auston Matthews would like a word.

northernboomer.bsky.social•18 days ago

I’m taking Crosby, McKinnon,McDavid and Makar over Matthew’s every day of the week!!

chriswalker1964.bsky.social•18 days ago

I was being facetious.

northernboomer.bsky.social•18 days ago

Whew!! 🤣

chriswalker1964.bsky.social•18 days ago

😂

makhuit.bsky.social•17 days ago

Well you got me firing back so I guess well done. As I think we agree

chriswalker1964.bsky.social•17 days ago

I believe we do.

jacktodd.bsky.social•17 days ago

The category was "best," Walker. Not most obnoxious.

chriswalker1964.bsky.social•17 days ago

LOL Canada's got at least one obnoxious one, too. Plays for the Bruins. Wears No. 63.

jacktodd.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yeah but he's funny obnoxious and he keeps it to the ice.

chriswalker1964.bsky.social•17 days ago

Fair point.

makhuit.bsky.social•17 days ago

Seriously, he isn’t even top three on team USA. Ya he scores goals when it doesn’t count much, but where is his big moment, when has he ever put a team on his back and won an important games. I would take either Tkachuk, hellibuck or werenski before Matthew’s.

puckinaround12.bsky.social•18 days ago

I have his jersey and a leafs fan it's weird seeing him as the enemy I'll say that... Lol 😂

chriswalker1964.bsky.social•18 days ago

As a Habs fan I should probably block you for being a Leafs fan. 😎

puckinaround12.bsky.social•18 days ago

Lol

ravedobinson.bsky.social•18 days ago

I’m completely not interested in it but I agree with that sentiment

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

I’m not really interested either, tbh

r-abrams.bsky.social•18 days ago

Rachel from America says yes pls! Make it hurt!

jrmccranker.bsky.social•18 days ago

These guys are super wealthy, most of them spend their entire year in the US, nothing the current administration does will hurt them etc. Doubt that it bothers them much. Most of the Panthers players are Canadian (one American in Tkachuk) and they gleefully visited the White House and Felon in Chief

makhuit.bsky.social•17 days ago

If there was an 82 game schedule between these four teams there would be a 97% chance Canada would prevail. The team is stacked.

shortqueendewie.bsky.social•18 days ago

I doubt most of them care lol

berkshire.bsky.social•18 days ago

I’m not sure. They come up through the hockey canada programming. This is a rivalry on the ice and off.

hikeyourlifeaway.bsky.social•18 days ago

Listen, as a Caps fan, having none of our players picked to play (considering our record so far) is just rude! 🤷‍♀️ GO CANADA! 🇨🇦

ginamyhill-jones.bsky.social•17 days ago

Just break a few faces. Game will be the last for a while.
No more Nazis in the tournament… send em home sore.
Oh wait… did I just say that… well feck me evil little self then..
Nevermind

puckinaround12.bsky.social•18 days ago

harbourchick1.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yes. I do think though, instead of booing the Star Spangled Banner, folks should stay seated and silent. That is the way to show the ultimate disrespect
