Also the name is dumb. At least call it the Four Nations Cup.

Not like he's a guy that needed international experience either.
It really feels like the most Hockey Canada of choices though.

There used to be a women's hockey tournament called the Four Nations Cup which is probably why they went for the ridiculous Face-Off instead.

Maybe Canada needs an entirely Francophone team so the Americans are the only team with no clue what the other team is saying...although I think one of the Finnish posters on this site once claimed Swedish was an easy language...after all most Swedes can speak it.

I feel like they'd look better if they didn't have the blue.

They only care about money. Canadian team pays, they’ll come here.

Plus why would you wanna play in Handmaids Tale land? Maybe we’re the safer choice if you wanna avoid the death squads and concentration camps.

Revenge for 96 was really sweet, pumping the Americans so bad they destroyed their locker room

People forget how hyped this game was going in.

$$. And because they love hockey. They’re just getting caught in the middle of BS politics. Like everyone else.

Lol there's no way that first Primeau goal would ever count today. Wild.

Goes without saying tonight’s game is huge. Tonight’s game in Montreal. Next games in Boston. I think that will be a factor.

Hnggh, after taking a break from watching hockey, goddammit I've forgotten how annoying it is that the official starting times are at best a guideline.
