Ducky Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Scheif is on McDavid's line playing RW. I will be watching as much as I can and will try not to miss any of Canada's or NA's games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) Laine is on Finland's top line. In other news, Finland is going to get stomped at this tournament. Edit: Stomped is strong. They just won't win. Edited September 8, 2016 by sweep the leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I think I'm cheering for the young guns team more than Team Canada, but I'll follow both relatively closely. As much as I think this tourney is a stupid POS cash grab, I'm pretty hockey starved at this point of the year, so I'm looking forward to watching the games..

Atomic Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Team Canada is going to steamroll the whole tourney. Young guns team should be fun to watch, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have a decent top line and top 2 D but they don't have the depth. But you never know. Chemistry is funny and the Finns always seem to have it.

Blueballz Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Yup young guns team is going to be fun to watch. Only going to tune into the Finn games to see Laine. Should be fun to see how much McDavid elevates Sheifele's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I don't know how much I'll watch... very little to none probably but I'd say that Team North America is by far the most skilled and talented team overall. Their D is somewhat of an issue but... it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see Team NA steamroll tons of teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I'm not really interested but wtf else is on. There's always that one big name guy who gets injured at these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, McDavid is the only guy on that roster who would have a chance to make Team Canada. Maybe Gaudreau, if he was Canadian... The Russians have more skill as well, they just seem to suck as a team.

It's not, at least not yet, but that wasn't really the point anyway. How many guys on the kids team do you think could crack the Canadian roster, assuming for this that they were all eligible?

Noeller Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 My only point is that Eichel is a way better hockey player than Gaudreau, which is true, but they are both American, so they can both go **** themselves.

They'll be the most exciting team for sure. Their gameplan seems to be balls to the wall for the entire sixty minutes. What will be interesting is how they do when they play a team that can counter that aggressiveness. They made mistakes that the European team wasn't good enough to capitalize on. Also, I felt a little sad watching Chara look so bad out there. The guys a hall of famer, but he's pretty much done now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
