If 86 on the US trips a guy up here in Montreal does the ref say "J'accuse Jack Hughes!"

[–] RayBann@piefed.social 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nine seconds in and three fights. Amazing!

[–] yardy_sardley@lemmy.ca 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Having both tkachucks immediately taking themselves out of the game is a bold stratagy

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Slapshot vibes.

[–] yardy_sardley@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 months ago

Mcdavid is the closest thing we have to a superhuman

[–] Llama@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

This is nuts

[–] Aceofspades@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As an Oilers fan I am all too familiar with having the second best goalie in the game. This has that feel.

[–] yardy_sardley@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

Yup. Oilers and this team have a very similar makeup. USA has has a bunch of players who antagonize the oilers as well.

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

This must be what other teams feel like when playing against Helle. Barely noticeable, big and boring, entirely effective. Look at the quality of the Canadian shots...

Welp, that was a fun game. Can't wait to see v 2.0 after the round robin.

Eta: that Crosby streak dying kinda sucks. That's the stuff of legend.

[–] Lootboblin@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Tkachuck bros are better at marketing the game than NHL itself.

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

That was a fun period. What's the over/under on multiple gordie hats?

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The look on McDavid's face after that soft equalizer...

[–] Werewolf_Cop@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

I don't blame him after scoring that backhand beauty.

[–] Tm12@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

Why did Binnington start? Starting my whining from now in case.

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

This game lol

[–] nguarracino@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Hell yeah, just found this thread pretty late in the game but I love it!

Intense and surprisingly physical game so far. Hope we get a good finish.

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

The physical shouldn't surprise. There was zero chance of this game not getting really chippy and bodies flying.

However, I did not have 30 penalty minutes in 9 seconds on my bingo card.

[–] HeroHelck@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Some of the best hockey I've seen all year.

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

When you get playoff hockey energy in February

[–] Kurtagag@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Man it feels weird as a Leafs fan and a Canadian cheering *against Matthews

[–] HeroHelck@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

USA starting this period extremely strong.

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Played a strong first period too.

[–] buffaloseven@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Boys are all going to need ice packs after tonight's tilt. Sheesh! Why did the All-Star games suck so much compared to this?

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

GSP is a GOAT.

[–] HeroHelck@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In contrast US is acting asleep at the wheel for the third so far. One goal isn't much of a lead fellas.

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

As a Kings fan, I am used to any lead against a McDavid being sus.

[–] RayBann@piefed.social 2 points 10 months ago

Let's go 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[–] HeroHelck@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

The look on Sid's face said it all.

[–] HeroHelck@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

As PIT fan this is making me miss jake so bad. Feel like shit, just want him back.

[–] HeroHelck@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Absolutely gorgeous shot!

[–] Werewolf_Cop@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Watching from Canada, they only seem to have an American broadcast if you don't have Sportsnet! PK Subban shouting out Don Cherry...interesting

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sailing the high seas has confirmed this. Although, there is a French feed that isn't SN. At least it didn't look like a SN feed.

[–] Tm12@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

NHL channel via YouTube Japan

[–] yardy_sardley@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Binnington coming up big on the PK, let's gooo

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Drew still got it. Adda boy with that feed. GKG
