I don’t know how successful the tournament really was. Canada vs USA was immensely successful for sure but how did the rest go.

How many people would have watched a Finland vs Sweden final?

I’m they could just do a best out of 3 Canada vs USA and it would prove more popular than the 4 nations format.

Maybe I’m projecting because personally I didn’t give a shit at all to anything but the final. Even the round robin game between Canada vs USA I didn’t pay attention to.

Those US/Canada games were some of the greatest games ever played. I feel like the injuries are going to put a damper on it be a common reoccurrence though. I don’t think the league expected them all to play big boy hockey.

Yea I think keeping the international tournies to 4 years at yhe Olympics should be the standard. Or something in the off season. It kind of cheapens it if it's every year. It's just this has been the first in forever so the hype was real.

Ovechkin 13 away, little revenge from DC over Sid and McDavid back to back days with 8-3 and 7-3 wins. Caps 1 regulation loss in our last 21 games (14-1-6). All the top 6 is clicking, too, can't ask for much more.

Biggest thing for me will be seeing how we look at our 3rd line going into the trade deadline and seeing what they want to do there. Rumors about McCann being sought after by us, and obviously we're likely to add Ryan Leonard once Boston College's season is over.

As a Kraken fan the McCann rumors are wild. Should get an insane return if we do trade him. He’s our best player lol.

I second that. The Kraken have him signed for 2 more years on a below market contract. This season has been a bit of down year, but why would you sell low when you have 2 more years of him to see him rebound?

just rumors I heard, I have doubts we'd be willing to give up what it would take to get him, but you never know. There's a lot of options on the market, just not sure where the club feels like it stands with our current 3rd line.

I watched that game and it scares me how well your guys move around in the offensive zone.

One thing your guys do really well is hold on to the puck and not force plays. They are really good at turning away from a defender to protect the puck and wait for a play to open up. Stark contrast to our guys who are always forcing plays.
