World Cup of Hockey returns in 2016

Not only that but Muzzin is on the team and TJ Brodie is not. Muzzin is on the team but PK Subban is not. Muzzin is on the team but Letang is not.

Team Canada is a bit weird.

Drew Doughty has said how much more comfortable he is playing with Muzzin.
kinda shitty that Doughboy gets 2 spots.

I posted the yahoo link to that photo earlier in the thread - The goose was playing possum and did eventually get away from that bald eloco, er eagle.

All you need to do to get a smile out of McDavid is to put him in a jersey other than the Oilers...

That's a smile? Maybe he needs some pills...

He does seem a little uncomfortable in the public spotlight, doesn't he?

Hey, the first time I met BJ Birdie in person I punched him right in the beak so I suppose I can understand any discomfort he's feeling.

That's a problematic trait for the saviour of the game to have.



Shame we can't just, you know, let the guy enjoy playing the game. He's really good at that.

I know you hate Dubinsky but let's focus on the real problem here: Ryan fucking Callahan is on the team.

Not so fast, my friend...

Callahan to miss World Cup after hip surgery

so who replaces him when they don't call Kessell?

Mike Johnson?

I hope they ask Kessel and he says no.

What's that you say, Phil? No? You suuuuuuuuuure?





"WAIT!"

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Speaking of Phil, he's been in Toronto since the weekend.


Must be scouting for parade routes.

I guess that's the funny thing about Phil, I mean if you didn't know he's a hockey player (and a pretty good one at that), would you think he's a famous athlete? I mean, when you're in a department store and look at people, some guys just stand out as athletes (chiseled features, the way they move etc.). Phil's physique just doesn't scream elite athlete (I mean, in the pic above, those legs don't look much different from my own and I'm an old guy whose best days are firmly in the rear view mirror).

He just looks like the hundreds of thousands of guys who stopped playing hockey seriously in high school and play in a beer league.

you show that picture to a non sports fan and ask which one is the pro athlete and they might pick Kessel just because hes at the center of the picture

You can't see his forearms in that picture because they are behind the other two people though. He looks like Popeye.
