The thing with international. Man the Russians participate. It always seems like their are Canadians opting out, whereas every year it seems like every Russian that can play does.

You are just salty cause you lost to the finnish phenomenom xD

I watched the Canada Vs Slav yeaterday and it was pretty intense. Lots of checks, goal, etc.

And I agree i'm sad how many canadien refused the invite.

For the current playoff, I'm pretty sure the Bruins already won the series so no need to talk alot about this one. The West tough is another story... who ever get out of this series will not be in top shape to play vs the Bruins.

Canes are 5-0 on home ice, so i wouldnt underestimate their crowd. If canes win game 3 - we have a series.

Though I am rooting for the Bruins, I don't want to see them greatly exceed expectations and then completely crumble..

Also I wouldn't mind seeing Canes win because my sister in law entered a $2000 playoffs bracket comp (20$ buyin) not knowing anything about hockey, and picked the Hurricanes to win the Stanley Cup, so if they did she'd basically stumble into 2K.

So Draisatl won a huge game for Germany against host nation and probably secured good playoff spot. They are currently 4-0 in their group but next 3 games are against favorites. I still think they come out from 3 or even 2nd place.
Italy meanwhile is 0-30 after 4 games. I don't think this is an enjoyable experience for the players or fans ..

Tbh Slovakia were big favorites against Germany as well (and they dominated the game for a long while). The game ended kinda like Canada vs Slovakia, poor Slovakian fans.

yeah i see your point. Its like that one time when i got to play against LiquidDrone and got smashed, but was still happy. However that was a "game for fun" not in front of many people. It just feels like a major mismatch, this 0-30

But yeah, i see the fun in it too.
Are we talking about hand pass and video reviews on this forum?

It was about time Draisaitl showed us some of his magic

I'm not sure if this is just bias but the Refs were absolute shit that game too. Nagy should have gotten 5+game for that foul on Seider. Also there was one foul were a guy goes directly for Draisaitls knee and only got "tripping" for it. Not okay

I’m not going to apologize for that hand pass no-call at all. First, it would have been a marginal call to begin with. It incidentally went to another Sharks player after first making contact with Pietrangelo. But more importantly, the Sharks have a rich history of getting screwed by the refs in the playoffs notwithstanding the big calls that have gone their way this year. And besides, the refs fucked the Sharks earlier in the game with multiple no calls on what should have been penalties to the Blues.

Bruins absolutely trounced the Canes in this series. Wasn't even close the whole way through.

yeah the last game was painful to watch. Not only was the Rask unbeatable, he didn't have much work to do in the first place. I actually expected this result in Caps-Canes series (given how they played last year), but Caps did not decide to show up for round1 and paid the price.
Moving on to the finals, i thought it was time West takes it, but man Bruins look too strong now.

When you say "Bruins look too strong" it's should actualyl say, the first line of the Bruins look too strong. Like is there anyone else in their team that do stuff (other then the goalie).

If you stop their top line and stay out of the box, you should have a good shoot at winning against them.
