Wouldn't that mean he's wants to improve his team then?
- Jkuzzi

Yeah, I think he wanted to improve the team when he hired Benning as well, he's just not very good at owning an NHL team.

Big game this morning. Lankinen in net for the Finns. Can you imagine if he blanks the Canadians?

With the roster Canada has, I would hope they come out pissed off after the last game and put up 6+ on a weak Finnish D corps

Love the fact it starts at 10am. Then the US against the Swedes. Can’t lie, I’m going to tune in to see… well, you know.

I'm annoyed I have to watch it on my 2nd monitor at work. Stupid americans getting the prime time slot for a pointless game.

Work? No “family day” for you? One of the benefits of being a provincial employee, the pay ain’t great but the stat days off (paid) is nice.

Nah, we don't get it up north, we get June 21st (or the closest work day) off instead. Tough to complain as we get a lot of vacation, but having a stretch from New Years-Easter without any days off sucks.

I'm happy for the early start time. 7PM? Lovely. Was out at a bar on Saturday with some hockey guys, and drinking til 5am was fun but definitely not ideal

It’s been very good hockey so far. Much better than I thought it would be.

Hey hey hey now...we could do without the name calling, hurtful.

Me too. But the players taking it seriously changed my mind. I expected an all star game but we got so much more than that. Goes to show that a true partnership between owners and the PA can have a huge impact on quality of game play.

I agree, even though you and VHG are "wanna be" Mexicans.

It's Presidents' Day here in the land of milk and honey, I'm the only one in the office. I forgot, but I'm going home for the Canadian game.

Blinding snow storm in Ohio yesterday, my wife said "we are moving back to Arizona, I don't care how hot the summers are"....I just can't win in life.

I've been getting that a lot lately from Canadians, in fact, I told two good friends last week who were on me about Trump to go (frank) themselves and not to contact me anymore. Canadians have a super strong opinion on the commander in chiefs 51st state rhetoric. Which isn't serious, it's just smoke to ruffle feathers and get a conversation going about trade.

I came to the US long before Trump came to power for his second term, I have no stake in U.S. politics, we came to live in a warm climate and enjoy the back half our lives. Of course I have an opinion, but it's meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

Anyways...I'm hoping for a Canadian win and a rematch with the Americans.


PS: any responses to this should rightfully be in the proper thread, which isn't this one.

'Turd' world countrymen...

Binnington gets the start, why is he even there? Mackenzie Blackwood has been lights-out good this year.

Gotta love letting personal biases and grudges compromise the quality of our international roster at every possible opportunity
