I'm making a thread to discuss both games today: -13:00 EST / 10:00 PST ― CAN vs. FIN -20:00 EST / 17:00 PST ― USA vs. SWE Team Canada news: Cale Makar *is* playing, Binnington gets the start. If the first game ends in regulation, the winner will advance to the final against USA. In case it goes to overtime, Sweden will be able to advance with a regulation win.wrote 27 days ago last edited byLate push by Finland, we might have a game here

Now it's just a game for pride before finals for the US and Swede's. Shame on the guys who can't suit up today but kudos to the scratches who will get to wear their nation's colors for a game. Can't wait to see if the US can pull it off against big brother. Cheers and grats ya nerds.

And I don't think I'm the only one, thinking back to comments I saw before the start - many people thought it would just be another all star game. Good idea and execution by the NHL and the organizers.

Although, I have a sneaking suspicion this is probably the last event I get to see the US play internationally any time soon. Which, from just a hockey development perspective blows. But I get it.

It really sucks knowing we should probably end up in that same boat sooner than later. Personally, I'm convinced Y2K was actually a thing and we somehow forked off of our previous reality and are now stuck in whatever the he'll this is these days.

He died in January, 2020.

The Goat imho.wrote 26 days ago last edited byYeah. Lately I've been listening more closely to Clockwork Angels and it's like, "Damn." "A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage." I only recently learned there's a book that expands that story, and reading it has me appreciating the album even more.

I really want there to be a Central Europe team in the next iteration as well, give players like Draisaitl and Pastrnak a chance to participate.

I didn't come to fully understand the sheer totality of what he did until later in life. When I learned that he was the writer on top of drumming he instantly shot up to the best ever in my book. Not that he was far off to begin with, but still.

Boys need to step up. Also, is that Brady back in? Starting to get the feeling that the coaches in this event are just for show and it's really beer league style line shifts with guys scratching themselves.

But he went back to school to learn how to be even better.
