You still had Leafs fans paying big $ to watch a losing hockey team all these years. Just saying.

 

*Leafs and Cubs fans high five*

I am taking my son to Pittsburgh to catch a hockey and baseball game in April. My brother in law used to be the assistant trainer for the local QMJHL here and the trainer there is now the head trainer

Holy f***, Pascal Dupuis has a blood clot in his lung, out 6 months, might end his career, sad news man as a fan.

I think both teams are happy about it. The real question is after Weber ages a bit more.

 

I also heard on the radio weber hit his own player with a slap shot in practise forget who but now he is out lol

Shootout to play for the Gold... that suxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Rough!

I tuned in when you posted this. That was a crazy shootout. The US constantly had an answer to Russia, and finally scored the back-breaker.

Yeah... 5th rounder cause of his size. *smh*
When will management teams catch on that size no longer matters like it used to? The game has changed so much that, if anything, it's a lot of the big, truculent guys that now have the disadvantage. It's so much faster and more highly-skilled than it used to be. I can understand that things used to be a different way since the beginning of NHL time, but smaller is the new big. For now I guess it will remain a market inefficiency.

Agreed, DeBrincat is another kid that slipped.

Size still matters. Not nearly as much as it did, but I don't think you're gonna see an onslaught of kids 5'7" barging their way into the NHL.

Of course, but skillset outweighs the age old, big and strong.

GO CANADA GO... huge game, this is the Gold Medal Game, imo.

 

Here's hoping...but I said before the tournament even started that they need their goalies to step up and excel. I haven't seen that yet. Canada's goalies scare the s*** out of me...they have for a few years now in this tournament.

Ya. Big and strong is useless today. Have to have skill or GTFO.

Yup, glaring weakness, no doubt.
