All of the questionable roster decisions are coming back to bite Canada, unfortunately.


McDavid wearing the C is just laughable.

Man McDavid looks like he can skate through the full team when he’s on. But nobody is finishing or getting shots on. I really wanna see Bennett and Wilson in front of the net to get a dirty one.

If there was ever a good demonstration about this team not having taken quite enough talented offensive finishers, look at the 2nd power play unit. It's Marner and... yeesh.

McDavid is essentially just Sonic the Hedgehog. All he does is go fast, not much else.

For gods sake Johnson we don’t need bench therapist Crosby to mentally prepare the team.

More of an indictment on the team giving up grade A chances in a game of this magnitude.

Motivating the team with his crossovers.

They are so discombobulated and they chose the wrong guy to be the leader today. Hell,they would have been better choosing Celebrini lol

Jesus Gretz is looking terrible. At least he didn't look blotto for once.

He was the biggest dissapointment at the 4 Nations too.

His two cups and NHL stats make him hard to leave off this team, but he's just not built for international play for whatever reason.

Enough with the goddamn Oilers love in. I don't want to see scumbags like Messier and traitors like Gretzky on my TV screen.

Canada -2 on special teams now.

Which has actually not been great all tournament. It's going to be the difference in a tight game like this.
