At least we can stop hearing about it now

Canada looks pissed AF.

This is going to be spicy.

Guy is just too good.

Welp, that was a fun game. Can't wait to see v 2.0 after the round robin.

Eta: that Crosby streak dying kinda sucks. That's the stuff of legend.

I saw some Americans singing it too. r/mademesmile

Boston handled themselves like a million times better than I thought they would with that.

Eh, Gretzky at his peak probably falls into today's average speed for nhl players. Maybe slightly above. His IQ would still be there as would be his puck handling. Not really sure he'd be able to walk the blue line like he used to with the same effect but I'm sure he'd still be really good at it. Guy had patience on the blue line entry.

He was super elite in his era. But eras don't transfer. That said, I certainly don't think he gets rocked if for nothing more than you don't have to worry about that kind of shit these days.

I will say this though, Ovi, ruzzian populist not withstanding, would probably still excel in Gretzky's era because he is built and can lay hits and take some damage. He just probably ends up one of those guys who's smoking and drinking after practice.

And that's how you beat a good goalie. You Ryan Smyth the shit out of em and set up a tent in front of the crease.

Crowd spread looks like when Edmonton comes into LA and I have to sit in the middle of Oils fans lol.

Glad to see y'all traveled en mass.

33 games against the Oilers since 21/22 season. Lol

That was a fun period. What's the over/under on multiple gordie hats?

As a Kings fan, I am used to any lead against a McDavid being sus.

The physical shouldn't surprise. There was zero chance of this game not getting really chippy and bodies flying.

However, I did not have 30 penalty minutes in 9 seconds on my bingo card.

I've heard from avg Canadian folks that some of that extends from A) the sustained cost of the sport in general, and to a lesser extent B) that the recent years of scandals involving the system has taken its toll.

Not saying that's why or why not, but it is what I've heard from people over the last handful of years.

Slapshot vibes.

Ugh, only US streams are coming in clear. Sigh. Canadian play by play is so much better on the average. Hopefully I can swap in a bit.

This game lol

You guys can win if Doughty gets a goal. I'd be OK with that.

Welp, Canada had their future in their hands and they handled business.

Now it's just a game for pride before finals for the US and Swede's. Shame for the guys who can't suit up today but kudos to the scratches who will get to wear their nation's colors for a game.

Can't wait to see if the US can pull it off against big brother.

Cheers and grats ya nerds.

Tkachucks are tough MF's. Dad was too. But they got a long way to go to get this level...
