toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 That suuuucks... Hopefully extra motivation. Larkin must be really disappointed hopefully he changes the coaches minds. This decision is purely based on hype I don't know about that, probably based on how the coaches felt about him during their camp as well as his performance earlier this year at the World Championships....which was pretty good...I think he led Team USA in scoring.

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted September 9, 2016 Season hasn't even started and the slobbering on Mathews has already begun.just wait till he scores his first goal, tsn will have it covered with at least 4 articles.I know people are disappointed for Larkin..But this is great for him he doesn't get hurt and might play angry. I mean everyone knew the center position would be If McJesus - Eichel - Matthews. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buppy 1,720 Report post Posted September 9, 2016 Even if not at center, Larkin should be playing over Couturier, Drouin, or Miller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted September 9, 2016 They announced before last night's game even started that Larkin will be playing Sunday against Team Europe. These are just exhibition games that mean nothing. Larkin will be in the lineup next weekend when the games matter... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted September 10, 2016 I didn't see the game but I heard it was very physical. That's the way the game should be played not this pansified stuff we're seeing today in the NHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted September 10, 2016 I saw a 5 minute highlight of the USA-CAN game. It looked rough out there, they sure weren't holding back. Also watched the FIN-SWE game. Less physicality but they didn't play soft. Those teams don't bully as much as the good old Canadians do. But both teams defenders went full on when hitting in the corners. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) First game, but Canada looked awful at times. Better team won tonight. I'm not sure what game you were watching, but other than the last 10 minutes of the 1st period, Canada dominated. Price was clearly rusty, in my opinion, all 3 goals were terrible...some could argue 1, but the other 2 were simply bad....he was rusty. Other than those 10 minutes in the 1st, Canada outshot them 41-7 I think. Edit - I think was for sure though....that game was far more intense than the NA vs Europe game.

Well it deosn't matter how many shots, you still have to be ahead at the end of the third. 1 DatsyukianDekes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry but shots don't do anything for me. Canadians did not dominate every minute outside of 10 minutes of the 1st either, so not sure what game you were watching.

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted September 10, 2016 Well it deosn't matter how many shots, you still have to be ahead at the end of the third. Well, yeah. But if the opposition is outshooting you by a 2:1 margin...most nights, you're gonna lose. Unless, perhaps, your goalie is routinely sensational. Canada should've won that game. And I say that as an America who was rooting for the Americans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted September 10, 2016 I think if Canada had a goalie that played more recently than Nov 2015, it would have been no contest. Shots are definitely not everything, but the game I watched was dominated by Canada, don't have to look at shot totals for that, the majority of the game appeared to be in the US end.
