Four Nations Face-Off thread

Choosing Trevor Kidd over Marty Brodeur.

Wasn’t the Brodeur pick originally a Flames pick they traded?

Also, the Canucks took Nedved over Jagr, not that Nedved sucked or anything.

Who was traded to Pittsburgh and had his two best seasons in Pittsburgh playing with Jagr.

As for the trade it was unreal.

• 1995-Aug-31 Traded from New York Rangers with Sergei Zubov to Pittsburgh Penguins for Luc Robitaille and Ulf Samuelsson

As all four had some very good years after that trade. Granted Zubov's wasn't in Pittsburgh as they traded him away too soon and Nedveds was back with the Rangers.

since Jesse Owens stuck it to a certain German leader all the way back in 1936 in Berlin.

And then came back to the US where he was praised as America's own in the fight against Hitler but was treated as a second class citizen and struggled to make ends meet most of his life. He often claimed the treatment he got in Berlin during the Olympics was better than the treatment he got in the US.
(sorry for the tangent)

I was wondering if this means they can bring up Harley.
Or if Harley sits for tomorrow's game does that mean the Canucks get a cap hit.

To answer my own question

Saw elsewhere but kinda funny that one country isn’t playing in this tournament because they’re trying to annex a neighbour but we’re supposed to just stay content with the same situation?

Eddie Lack is a gem lol

Of course the answer is that the US/Canada talk is just the ravings (and recent ones at that) of a madman with no action as yet.

But that would be a great question to ask Bettman or any of the GMs. "Would you support excluding the US from future events if they took forceful action against another sovereign nation?

Make 'em say it.

He did make a couple of great saves in OT the other night before Marner scored the GWG so this is not a surprise...

Guys, this tourney should be renamed Three Nations and a Minnow.

He also let in two stinkers to get it to overtime.
Still, it's too short of a tourney to rotate goalies so I get it.

Of course Suomi scores right after my post lol

Edit: Okay, bad Gus has decided to show up today.

Gus out, Ullmark in to start period 2.

I’m still surprised they didn’t go with Hill in game 1.

Binnington is just the kinda guy to go start a fight with the Tkachuk’s too.

Personally I hope he fights Hellebuyck and tunes him up. As a Jets fan that is.

That was a pretty nice goal just now with Willie Styles feeding Erik Karlsson. Maybe the Leafs should unite these guys for a Cup run?

Rantanen and Petey
