They did play Russia, a team similar to the USA in terms of talent. But I think we became too overconfident and didn't expect the USA to come out strong like this.

You expect them to win and when they don’t it’s a major disappointment. That being said, when they do lose, it’s almost a blessing for the game globally as too much of a good thing (winning) sometimes takes away from the game (hockey) as a whole. Canada still reigns as hockey royalty, but you gotta remember without honest competition the game gets predictable and boring. That being said, I really hope the NHL and its players return to the Olympics soon. Yea and I mean the lose is disappointing but it's entertainment and we haven't had it in awhile. Good on the boys!

I'm actually happy about Podkolzin. He's gonna be a better player than Byfield. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero hockey sense. I would say either he turns out to be a really good player or he's a bust. Considering the position he was drafted, there are going to be really high expectations on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew's Eichel Q Hughes, J Hughes JT Miller Boeser, Kane, Seth Jones etc That will by far be the best team they've ever had McDavid, MacKinnon, Crosby, Marner, Makar, Tavares, Lafrienere, Pietrangelo, Doughty, Huberdeau, Hart, exc. Maybe it will be their best team, but we're doing alright too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StiffStick33 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Makes me sick to my stomach that ppl on IG are hoping for harm/turbulence to the American kids. When did we become such sore losers. We payed a hell of a tournament, and so did the Americans. These are still kids, plenty of play left in them. Im just excited to see them all on the same team one day in the NHL, worthy opponents playing against the Canucks. Newhook&byram vs Pods&hughes? Or which pick came out on top pods or Zegras? Kids got bright futures. Happy for them. Who knows maybe one of them might be sporting green and blue one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 9) ana - zegras 10) van - podkolzin can you imagine the hype train there would be if Anaheim went with podkolzin over zegras and he fell to us?! We would have petey, hughes, boeser, horvat and Miller with WJC MVP zegras on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on the PP. - Winger, not known for 2-way game, not particularly dominant in hard areas. More of a passer than a shooter. He's really talented but I don't see him as the next Kane, Pettersson or Marner... Or even Jack Hughes.

Having said that, I'm excited for Podkolzin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Twitter. I don't know about anyone else, but it seems like social media has become even more of a toxic cesspool over the last couple of years. Can't be mad at the Americans. They played better when it mattered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be interesting to see where these players are going to be in 3-4 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
