***2024-25 NHL Thread***

Same reply as before. You are wearing your country on your jersey. They would and have shown up for their country. Did you not watch the Olympics. Our three best players were in their mid to late 30s….

Would they show up for a mid season tourney like this? NBA needs to try it.

He literally played and won MVP in the Olympics. He’s also 40 years old. This LeBron hate is so forced it’s ridiculous. This is awesome and I love it. A regular NHL all star game would be on espn+.

 

[CychiatricWard]

What’s your point? LeBron has control over the all star game now? The format they run isn’t good, but it’s never really been competitive. This is a completely different thing here.

Lol. He didn’t even play. Opted out last minute. He’s also the biggest flopper in the history of the game. Google it.

This will be a roughly 2 week break for the “all star game”. How can you even compare? This was to drum up interest, and they are killing it. I love hockey and am all for it. Hockey in the US still far less popular. Even in what people say is a down NBA they still dwarf NHL.

Google what? This was barely an all star game lol. And he is 40 years old! Hes played in 20 straight all star games. I think you might need to relax.

And how did that even remotely respond to what I said. The NHL all star game would get hardly any viewers without this.

Again, I love this. There was no point to bring up the NBA at all. Two completely different things…

 

[fsanford]

Soo many chances on both sides

 

[fsanford]

Slavin again, so freaking good

 

[fsanford]

US needs to win this in regulation
McKinnon and McDavid with more open ice in O.T. is a scary thought

Never mind it's Stanley cup rules
Good

Canada has been living in our zone but we're outshooting them.

 

[ISUTex]

**** Iowa. And **** Canada. The Hockey team. Not the country. **** the French part though.

Seems like the Tkachuk injury took the air out of the U.S’ balloon

Some great hockey being played

The analysis before OT is top level and why folks that like hockey, like hockey.

It hurt cuz he is big front of net presence.

Austin Matthews needs to snipe one in. Guy has amazing offensive skills. Best offensive player on US.

 

[BigJCy]

Call your shot which player gets the game winner?

 

[fsanford]

So for those of you that don't watch much hockey if truly Stanley Cup rules there are no commercials during period in OT

That alone should garner more fans

 

[jdoggivjc]

Choke? The goalie stood on his head. And IIRC they won the first game. Maybe that was the secret sauce

Led 2-1 deep into the 3rd period. Gave up the lead and then lost in OT. I don't know what your definition of choking is, but that would be what the rest of us call it.
