Official World Cup of :mjpls: (hockey) thread

[MikelArteta]

what i would do for next world cup

have games in two cities and finals best of 3 in one

have more countries involved and qualification for the lesser teams. If you want to have a team europe then the countries that don't qualify the weaker ones you can pool those players together.

i remember in the olympics bum as s latvia cuz of their goalie almost beat canada, allow weaker teams you never know

He seemed more concerned with his all team standing for the anthem than anything else.

That was the most passion anyone with this team during this tourney. Torts is a bum and im kinda glad we went out.

 

[DlAMONDZ]

World Cup with only 8 countries

Scratch that. 2 of the teams ain't even countries

 

[Miggs]

US doesn't have the talent top to bottom to make this a true rivalry...reason why Americans get up for this and want to hit is cuz they know they can't beat em.

 

[Miggs]

the under 23 thing was just a stupid stupid stupid thing, esp since every other team except canada and usa has under 23s, russia, sweden etc.

ESPN paid all this money and no american is going to care about this tourney anymore after tonight

I don't think they cared with an American team playing...this shyt is like Davis Cup levels of meh

Tourney is trash.

 

[trick]

dude went by pavel datysuk like it was junior, and with big ass lucic out there to beat the brains in off anyone who touches him, gonna be lit.


its a joke pk isnt here, dudes like bouwmeester and muzzin

but again this tourney literally has ZERO BUZZ, it should not have been in toronto, or if in toronto should have been in like two cities

usa is done as well today, espn paid all that money for teams no one cares about
and if russia beats finald team north america aint getting in anyways

white people are excited af about this, they're dropping people off in front of the distillery where i usually park for free and park the shuttle buses to that hockey festival there all day long

Brett hull on how pathetic usa played

I'm. 52 and I'd have a hat trick out there by now

The team North America thing really takes away from this tournament imo. How is this a World Cup when half of USAs roster can't play?

Just give Canada, US, Sweden, Finland, Russia and the Czech Republic auto bids and host a tourney for the other two spots. im sure Slovakia and another country could keep it respectable.

US roster management was just trash. No excuse for Tyler Johnson, kessel and Justin Faulk being left off for guys like jack Johnson and Kesler

 

[MikelArteta]

yup
Team Na is fun as hell to watch though

Hope Finland beats russia so i can see them again

What a flop of a tourney could get tickets for 18 bucks, no one cares about this crap, ratings in the sewer.
