Julien looks like he's having a good time at least. Uh cool flag raising ceremony before the anthem.

The worst part is that we didn't even get to see what flag/anthem they'd use for NA or Europe. Next time they should skip team NA and add Team World where they get the best players from every country not Canada, USA, or in Europe.

what the gently caress is happening what a mess of a celebration

Nielsen and Tatar had a great tourney so I'm excited to experience this brief moment where I think the Red Wings might score some goals. Otherwise, this tournament mostly sucked.

Team Canada should bring Phil Kessel out on the ice to celebrate with them. Why is Daft Punk playing?

It's really weird watching Crosby grow up. e: also he looks way skinnier than he used to, even as recently as the finals

I basically didn't watch any of this tournament at all, including either final game, but all I really have to say is gently caress Brad Marchand

The one where he was playing with the broken jaw that was wired all shut.

Spring Break My Heart posted:i still dont know what your actual point is. like do you mean his playstyle is different? personality? or is this just a timing thing. which wouldnt make any sense. i consider the recent "best in the world" players to be gretzky/lemieux, maybe jagr, and then crosby. the former 3 ascended in the high flying 80s/90s where goalies were poo poo and defensive systems weren't as effective. crosby certainly has finesse, but he also seems to generate more of his offense on scrappy, powerful forecheck and net-front plays than the "best in the world" players of prior generations probably an adaptation to having less time & space nowadays than in the past, but alls i'm saying is that it's cool to see how there's still clearly a dominant player in the game despite how it's evolved

i gues sthe point i'm trying to make is more about the way the game has changed over the past 10-20 years more than the merits of individual great players. just cool to see that there is still a clear "best in the world" player now, even though the talent floor is a lot higher than it was in the 80s/90s

The greatest current and proven players in the game today are Crosby, Toews, Ovechkin, in that order. That's the first tier of players.
