No es bueno!

Vancouver is almost never on TV games in the USA and nobody ever sees him play. In fact, the 3 televised games are so late that no kids get to watch him, who might otherwise idolize this talented young defenseman and buy his jersey. He toils in anonymity, and really is better known in Canada...

I am actually very bummed about this because Hughes did not have a chance to show what a maestro he is on the Power Play. Hughes toils with some obscurity in Vancouver where he has been maybe their best player for a few years now. He is a real talent but doesn't get the chance to showcase his...

Hagel and Tkachuk Trading Barbs: https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/43922197/m-tkachuk-hagel-trade-barbs-ahead-usa-canada-4-nations-final

By the way the illness going around is either SARS, or a SARS like upper respiratory virus. I myself had it the first week of February. I was out for an entire week, fever, chills, machine gun like violent coughing spasms, malaise, loss of appetite and mild nausea. It was awful, worse than...

Hughes Hughes isn't going to Boston only because he was not medically cleared:

Radacanu Stalker Ejected, Banned From Dubai Match due to "Fixated Behavior": https://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/43914589/emma-raducanu-loses-dubai-championships-spectator-ejected-banned-wta-events

You are over- complicating this. The rules say Hughes can replace any of the 6 defensemen who isn't healthy, not just Sanderson. Team USA will perform rigorous physical exams on all 6 and unless all 6 are tip-top and 100% healthy, one of them will be deactivated and Hughes plays. This is common...

I am hearing that Jake Sanderson was not feeling good after yesterday's game, apparently he had some bad food. Anyway, with Sanderson out, Hughes is in...

Quinn Hughes being added as McAvoy replacement is now confirmed: https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/02/usa-adding-quinn-hughes-for-4-nations-championship.html Matthews and the Tkachuk Brothers Are All Expected to Play per the above.

McAvoy being out was confirmed by his father in law and the USA is bringing in a replacement defenseman. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/43903935/team-usa-charlie-mcavoy-miss-4-nations-face-title-game

I think you can add the U.S. Hockey National Development Program, which has really advanced the careers of many players now. Their development of Junior USA hockey teams under the auspices of a national staff has really elevated the development and training of young American hockey talent. You...

What really gives Boston the edge over Detroit is the presence of intense NCAA hockey teams- BU, BC (where many of the USHNDP players played at least a couple years), Northeastern, Harvard and the backbone of Hockey East. Detroit has none of this hotbed of NCAA hockey or the Beanpot Tournament...

It would be nice if both sides have all star goalies and tip top first lines, but the truth is Canada's top line is better than USA's, and USA's top goalie, and maybe their top 3 goalies, are better than Canada's. That's the way the talent pool has ended up for these teams right now. The final...

The crowd in Boston will be waiting for this: https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/43893884/canada-mackinnon-finals-vs-usa-beat-guys

Let's put it this way, Binnington's career peaked in game 7 of the 2019 Stanley Cup. He is mainly been trying to ride that performance, as best as he can, ever since. I think we can all agree that Finland's goalies have not distinguished themselves in this tournament. Furthermore, Nashville...

And in Boston today booing of the Canadian anthem by American fans not happy with this display. Whole thing is stupid- it's a sports event - teams representing their countries- their leaders are not playing. HELLO!!!!!

Hellebuyck: Best US Goalie of All Time?? https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/43874494/nhl-4-nations-face-connor-hellebuyck-best-goalie-all

This is such a silly post. Trump is not watching and does not care anyway. However the USA Team Players said they do not like it. They are the ones hearing it and getting fired up. Trump is not on the ice or in goal, just the USA players, who are being given a slight that enables them to get...

Actually, it did. It seems that Matthew Tkachuk was cheap-shotted and did not play the last 12:36 of the game because of a lower body injury that has his status in doubt. "Matthew Tkachuk sat out the final 12:36 of the third period with a lower-body injury. Team USA coach Mike Sullivan said...
