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

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 5 days ago (1 children)

Nine seconds in and three fights. Amazing!

[–] yardy_sardley@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Slapshot vibes.

Mcdavid is the closest thing we have to a superhuman

[–] Aceofspades@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days 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 5 days ago

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

[–] Llama@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago

This is nuts

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 days 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...

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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.

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

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

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 5 days 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 5 days ago

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

[–] Tm12@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

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

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Werewolf_Cop@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

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

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

This game lol

[–] Kurtagag@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

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

[–] HeroHelck@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

USA starting this period extremely strong.

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Played a strong first period too.

[–] buffaloseven@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days 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 3 points 5 days ago

When you get playoff hockey energy in February

[–] HeroHelck@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days 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 5 days ago

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

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

GSP is a GOAT.

I’m a yank, fight me.

[–] RayBann@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago

Let's go 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[–] HeroHelck@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

The look on Sid's face said it all.

[–] HeroHelck@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

Absolutely gorgeous shot!

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago
[–] HeroHelck@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

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

[–] Werewolf_Cop@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days ago

NHL channel via YouTube Japan

[–] yardy_sardley@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

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

[–] Sketch@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

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