The NHL is taking a 2 week break for the 4 Nations Tournament, but they wouldn’t take a break a couple of years ago for the Olympics?

The 4 nations is just NHL players. The Olympics was not NHL players.
the 4 nations thingy is instead of the all star game.

I think covid played part in that in 2022 as well. They are playing in the 26 Olympics.

Go Sweeden… Rip Crosby’s face off.
Keep your stick on the ice...
Incredible pregame ovation for Super Mario! 👍
Ek scores to tie it up! Nice job by Sweden to work their way back after getting dominated in the first. Gus has been excellent against an offensive juggernaut. Brodin seems to be on the #1 D pairing with Hedman?
Team Canada had a 3-1 after two periods but Team Minnesota Wild (ops I mean Team Sweden) has tied it at 3.
Brodin and Eriksson Ek each have a goal and Gustavsson is in the nets.
A. Gus not one of the 3 stars is garbage.
B. They handed Crosby a gift bag? WTF?

He may be 37, but put the best players together in one spot and he elevates above them all.
That Gus wasn’t swedens player of the game is a joke.
Canada will go as far as their goaltending can hold up. Binnington is meh but can put a random big game out there like Fleury still can, it’s just rarer and rarer.

Gus Bus played GREAT! That performance against the very best (Gus being the best player for Sweden) has to buoy his confidence going forward!
I was really hoping Sweden would’ve won in regulation (or OT) and USA could’ve possibly had a chance to eliminate Canada from the 4 Nations final. And watch Canada meltdown like they did for World Jr’s.
It’s going to be interesting tonight how the Montreal crowd reacts to the US and even our Nat’l Anthem.
Keep your stick on the ice...
Canada asking people to not boo the anthem is the most Canadian thing ever
it’ll be more childish and ruthless on Saturday when USA plays Canada.

Faber isn’t wearing 14 cause it’s doubled up from 7. He’s wearing 14, cause he wore 14 at the ‘U’.

That's a solid first four minutes of the third for the US. 😎

Whole lotta Tkachuk tonight.
It was neat seeing them side by side for the anthem and on the ice together.

Seeing international play is always fun when NHL teammates take jabs at each other. Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk took a few jabs and shots at each other last night.

Not the start I expected in the Canada/US game
now a third fight? We’re 9 seconds in and there’s been 3 fights
US needs to get back to their game of low cycle and aggressive forecheck with throwing anything and everything at the net. Going up and down with this Canada team and you're going to get lunched. Same with trying to dipsy doo in the zone. Just get pucks on net and grind. Their weak point is goaltending and in the hard areas. Stop trying to act tough and actually play it
Stop being knuckleheads

100%. Just made a similar statement that USA needs to play system hockey because as good as they are, Canada has more skill and speed.US needs to get back to their game of low cycle and aggressive forecheck with throwing anything and everything at the net.

and the last 5-8 minutes have been exactly that. they're killing Canada's defensemen when they're trying to move the puck and breakout and Binnington lets in a bunny. When they let Canada get rolling up and down the ice though, they end up in bad spots. Happy they're just putting things on net from anywhere and everywhere. They'll find success if they keep that rolling. Gotta get this kill here though
If I am the US coach I might suggest they don't take penalties.

Canadian fans are just like UND fans when it comes to physical play. They love to see it dished out, but hate (no place for that) when it’s returned.

Bad pass from Crosby gifts US a two on one, Larkin scores!

canada having no idea how to switch certainly helped

Canuckleheads?
That, too.
The Canada bench looked stunned after the Larkin goal.

Agree… the US can’t play run and gun with Canada. Just like in high school playing basketball against the reservation schools in our league. They want run and gun and full court press the whole. You need to slow the game down and play basic fundamentals. With some physical play as well.

I don't always laugh at her stuff, but you are correct, she has delivery timing DOWN.

Boldy playing really well for US
PULL YOUR GAURDIEN DE BUT! 😉

watching this game has felt like watching the nhl before they changed the rules to open up the game, except its just that you have all the best players in the league out there so the space is just vastly less for everyone out there
