I'm tired of the special treatment he gets. Look at his TOI compare to everyone else. Saying he could have gotten this much points doesn't mean anything if he didn't actually get it. Yet, their are players on NA that out assists/goals that don't get acknowledge.

Sorry but Team Europe gets my support. Feels like everyone is getting fairly treated.

Gaudreau really ran off the ice in the end there. I hope he's OK.

I'm nervous about Drouin too, based on how much he sat in the bench this game. Even if he's not hurt, we know how well he responds to limited ice time...

Fuck, now Murray's hurt? :(

I noticed that too, and it was weird. There has been a lot of line shuffling, but I suspect that one is also an injury. Which is just great - it's still the group stage and I'm already worried for a third of this team, it feels like.

Yeah, I heard the announcers say he took a big hit earlier in the game but I didn't see it. Now I'm imagining Yzerman calling up McLellan and intimidating him into benching Jo if he seems even slightly injured, tbqh.

Well, that's great. I hope it's just precautionary until they take a better look at it.

Crosby is usually doing something to warrant it, even the little things. McDavid just...goes fast sometimes and they go apeshit.

📣 Mackinnon has outplayed McDavid 📣 and it's really not as close as ESPN would like you to believe.

Nonny I just wrote the longest response to this full of my enthusiasm for your idea and I LOST IT. That'll show me to stop writing my responses in the browser :/

suffice it to say I FUCKING LOVE THIS IDEA

The Drouin-RNH-Mackinnon line was their best by far (until Drouin got banished to the bench for unknown reasons). RNH has been quietly excellent as well.

And shortening the bench and giving McDavid (and Matthews) over 20 mins probably hurt them at the end. They looked gassed.

Do people like LadyJanelly's work/what do they like about it? I could never get into anything she wrote for some reason and I don't know why. Something about her stories just bother me.

And the thing about this team is that a lot of them go fast sometimes! They are all fast!

I liked her homelessness verse. From the very beginning it was kind of weird (Tyler just dumps a dog on a stranger?), but it managed to do homeless fic without dipping into pointless melodrama too much. I liked the side characters best of all - she did a good job drawing them into realistic people without dwelling on them too long. Having said that, her stuff all reads better to me as origfic.

Gaudreau didn't exactly hurt that line, but I have no idea why Drouin got benched.

What killed me was the entire line got virtually benched in the third. Their line was responsible for two of the three goals (Mackinnon especially) and one on the PP, and they had to watch McDavid and the rest of the chosen ones play monkey in the middle for 2 minutes on that 5-on-3. Garbage. They drew the first penalty, they should have been out to start.

If Gaudreau is mad about his ice time, he has a point.

I think the team is talented enough to win the tournament. I also think McLellan has proved he'll make decisions that can lose it.

I suspect Larkin was benched because of the two goals against in the second, and if they're not starting a tired goalie, it's probably not an issue.

The crazy line shuffling McLellan's doing is killing me, honestly. The lines he had versus Finland were good! They worked! I don't understand what the point is of making weird shifts in the middle of the game, usually for no discernible reason other than "McJesus hasn't scored yet, why?". I know they're young and adaptable, but LET IT BE, TODD.

And don't even get me started on the ice time. Gaudreau has been playing practically perfectly and sits. Drouin has been good too, and hardly even touched the ice in the third!

Drouin's not hurt, he just was benched for having a "hard time getting pucks at the net". Unlike certain players that played 20+ minutes tonight, right??? I kind of hate McLellan.

What a douchelord. If I see McDavid fly down the wing and run out of room or snipe into the goalie's chest one more time I'll lose it. You know whose move that is, McDavid? Brandon Sutter. Have fun with that.

SA Except Brandon usually scores.

This is the better option of the two, and yet I am still so pissed off.

DA

Plus, you know, Drouin has actually scored this tournament (unlike some).

I'm relatively new to hockey and I know there are lots of reasons to put people on the ice other than how many points they score, but wasn't Gaudreau tied for highest scorer in the preliminary round of the tournament and haven't five people on Team NA scored more than McDavid and only one of those guys is on his line? Is this asshole coaching or is this these "intangibles" I keep hearing about?
