I thought he was benched, but I might be wrong. Russia continues to look like they have the last few Olympics. Very underwhelming. Ovechkin and Malkin need to play like star players. The defense is what it is. You know your defense sucks if Marchenko is playing on the national team. Bobrovsky was great.

Isn't Mexico in North America? Seems unfair to not have representation.
-
Team NA vs. Team Europe is my dream final.
-
Datsyuk and Pronger will be great teammates in Arizona.
-
Finns are getting what they deserve for leaving Leino and Sami Helenius off the roster. Just curious, but what percentage of Team NA's roster is comprised of US born players?
-
I wonder how many casual sports fans in Russia have ever heard of Datsyuk? I was there several months ago, and Ovechkin is a celebrity there, despite playing in the NHL.

I propose a new tournament format. Team North America Team Scandinavia Team Eastern Europe Defending Stanley Cup champs
-
-
Yeah, that's right. I meant the first three phases. Didn't see you put Canadians in there, though I don't think Detroit had a Canadian phase. Every team was predominantly Canadian once upon a time. Not really a phase.
-
Except, the first two phases had talent.
-
Remember when every Swedish player seemed to play for the Wings?
-
It will be awkward when Team NA plays against either USA or Canada. Will be awkward for the young players going up against their own country in an international tournament.

Got my tickets today from StubHub even though the game is more than a month away.
-
I'm glad they've finally forgiven Cory Hirsch.
-
So does everyone in the WWE, probably. I've always heard the guy is an *******. Plus, he's a Blackhawks fan.

We need a handwriting expert on this forum. It appears only three Red Wings players have ever worn #13

That's where Obamacare steps in.
-
Tatar will change all that.
-
Here's another question. What National Anthem will play first if Team North America wins the tournament? What if Team Europe wins the tournament? Will they play "The Final Countdown" by Europe in lieu of an anthem?
-
What was the reason then of not having Team Slovakia? They're not a Germany as they have a lot of talented players who could field a good team. Let me guess, they didn't want team Europe to be comprised of weaklings, so they needed to merge them into Team Slovakia? For a major hockey tournament, there's a lot of embarrassment and awkwardness here. I still think the 8th team should be a team from LNAH.

Insert Robin BigSnake joke here.

I seem to remember hearing that, but since forgot it. What a joke of a tournament format. They may as well have a team full of goons or a team full of celebrities who can play hockey (basically Canadian celebrities).
-
Team North America?
-
Actually, scheduling it now has always been the draw of this event. In the middle of the season, there's more injuries and less players feel like going. The idea is that these players have nothing else to do now and are willing to represent their country (or continent in Team Europe's case)
