Watching the USA and Canada with my brother tonight. 

Simple pleasures and good times.

Dahlin no ice in OT.  

I am sure this sounds like sour grapes but Erik Karlsson is again on the ice for an OT GWG against.   That's two for two.  

I guess he took away the pass,  and Ullmark is responsible for the shooter, but the guy is a liability on defense, he always has been. 

 

Not saying it's right or wrong but it's obvious the Swedish coach doesn't trust him. Prefers the veteran. 

I've been thinking about this 3,2,1 pt system though and I kind of like it. Rewarding regulation wins over OT wins could perhaps give you a more accurate point total on the season. A little less reliance on having a big 3 for OT and more reliance on actually winning games 5 on 5.

The 3,2,1 point system has been used in european leagues for years and have not heard complaints about it.

Do fans of a team show up whether or not the team is good?

I liked the skills challenge

I have a sneaking suspicion Boston will be brutal to the Canadian anthem after the booing the last 2 games.

[Indabuff]

Is that booing?  I hope not.

No reason to be. Canada hasn't threatened them with economic war and a hostile takeover.

I'm both for it for revenge but also sad because I do love hearing both songs belted out with pride

[OverPowerYou]

Okay, Eichel. Make America proud and we will all forgive you. Nobody boos our anthem 

[SwampD]

I never knew Haley Joel Osment could sing so well.

It's been a bit since I've anticipated a hockey game like this.

I'm not entirely sure what Trump is trying to accomplish honestly but that still doesn't mean Boston will give Canada any better treatment. There's also the rivalry at play too.

Botterill stinks 

Hagel drops em
