Same, I love him giving the proverbial middle finger to the media and getting so much shit for it, but when he decides he wants to talk, it's thoughtful and important and pulls no punches. Total opposite of most hockey guys.

My nerves would really like for Sweden to stop getting powerplays

Yeah even when they haven't scored it seems like it gives them confidence. NA should be careful.

I haven't been able to really sit down and watch the games anything more than casually, and it's impossible to wade through the bias/narrative about how players on Team NA are performing. Apparently only McDavid, Matthews, and Reilly are any good.

The announcers are especially obnoxious about it. I'd probably like McDavid a lot more if they stopped fellating him for five seconds.

He can't seem to score though, it's funny at this point.

RNH, MacKinnon and Gaudreau have been good too.

Is it just me or does it seem like players have been told to pass to McDavid instead of taking a shot themselves?

I doubt they've been told; deferring is a real problem with highly skilled players.

Is there some reason to think he was talking about this tweet? The way it was phrased I thought he was talking about the stuff from the older guys who were on the 96 team.

Yup, someone (maybe Jen LC?) was talking about a tendency players often have of trying to always get a pass off, even if it isn't advantageous, rather than committing themselves/taking the risk themselves. Worse when you're playing with a guy like McDavid. You see the same with guys who aren't used to playing with Crosby, etc.

I take back everything I ever said about wishing they'd give some of his ice time to someone who had scored more points if he would use some of his McJesus powers to score some points and for Team NA to win this game though.

"I understand there’s hard feelings if you weren’t picked for the team or whatever"

I don't think anyone expects guys who played in 96 to have hard feelings about not making the 2016 team.

(He also was probably asked specifically about Kessel's tweet, even if his quotes don't mention Kessel by name.)

Gaudreau has been the best forward this game and it's not close, I don't think.

AYRT

Yeah, I didn't see that article until after I posted. To be fair though, that article makes it sound like the players hadn't even see the orig tweet and were reacting to questions about it.

Jeffler said something about him being as good as Matthews and it's like, nah, he's just been this good this whole tournament.

I don't watch the Flames but I'm a BC nonnie, and am really enjoying how many people are "discovering" him in this tournament. He's really fucking good (and fun to watch), guys!

It's a big advantage if Russia gets to play an already eliminated Finland. Fortunately for TNA, I think the Finns might hate Russia enough to still be motivated though.

I assume they're all eastern conference fans or something.

All the awards for Hank and Gibson, those were some amazing saves
