[silverwheels]

Goddamn what I would give to be in Bell Centre right now

 

[CJ_24]

God damn

 

[goblue96]

Time for this again

 

[Rutgers Mike]

3 fights 10 seconds in. U luv 2 c it

 

[kella]

how is Drew Doughty still making Canada teams?

 

[silverwheels]

I think he was like the 3rd injury replacement or something

 

[CJ_24]

F'ckin' McTrouba

 

[goblue96]

You know, USA, at any point, you could have held him up through the neutral zone.

 

[silverwheels]

This is electric

 

[bruin]

This is a high I haven’t felt since I got some Colombian bam bam at the sigma chi house at UCSB in 2010

 

[kella]

was telling the CHEL guys last night that only mcdavid and a few other guys in the world can score that short side elevated backhand goal moving that fast.

in typical ea fashion, that move is horribly OP

Jake Guentzel from State Farm

 

[goblue96]

The US needs Playoff Binnington to show up.

 

[kella]

The hitting in this looks like a video game. Haymakers left and right

 

[silverwheels]

Can't believe it's been nine years since we had a best-on-best USA-Canada game.

 

[kella]

Dudes are basically head hunting in the middle of this totally made up tournament in the middle of NHL season. You love to see it.

 

[silverwheels]

Fuck the all star game do this every season

 

[adchester]

I'm probably the biggest basketball stan on this board but the NBA can't hold a candle to USA-Canada

LEGGO

was just telling a buddy, they need to do this with the NBA. Keep the skills stuff, kill the game, put serious incentive on the line and divide up by country.

Yeah NBA All Star is a complete joke. I know they saw how FUN the Olympics were this summer. Just do that again. Even US vs The World would be better than the trash they have now.

 

[OU11]

US v World would be a dope game honestly.

The problem with the NBA is the players really don't give a shit about a random Wednesday night regular season game why would they care about an all-star game even if it's a USA vs. World All-Star game. The only way that they would care is if you throw a shit-ton of money to the winning team and even then they probably don't care.

They'd care a little bit more just because they don't want to get clowned on Twitter for losing to Team World. Definitely different circumstances in basketball than hockey though.

Have Trump threaten to invade the world right before so the world can start booing our anthems before games

USAAAAA

Rematch on Thursday?

If Canada goes with Hill they have a shot. Binnington sucks.

 

[silverwheels]

Kinda wish the American leg of this tourney were at MSG instead of in Boston.

 

[goblue96]

I wish USA-Canada was in Philly instead of Montreal.

Boston hockey fans are rowdier than NYC hockey fans

Shoulda been in Philly or St Paul

Yes but MSG is our most storied arena. Minnesota would have been my second choice.

Fuck MSG. It's not a storied hockey arena. Basketball, yes.

 

[Irishman]

If they could have played in the Spectrum, yes. Wells Fargo Center is a soulless dump.

 

[silverwheels]

I mean neither the Knicks nor the Rangers have had a ton of success relative to other teams from the same time periods but the crowd gets up for big games

I was at a Flyers-Red Wings game at the FU Centre. Some goon laid out Federov. The arena was dead quiet until some guy screamed, "GET HIM A BODY BAG!"

[silverwheels]

Matthew Tkachuk is out for Sweden. Might as well rest Hellebuyck and let Otter or Swayman play a game.
