Yeah, let's have a home run derby with a bunch of second basemen, that's the equivalent. Canada should have had wilson and Lowry on the team.

This is another attempt to sell the game in the usa, they were never going to have the final in Canada.
Really, no kidding? On almost every international hockey event held in North America the final has been held in Canada.
I don't enjoy watching hockey players fight because I fear someone is going to be seriously injured(ie. Nick Kypreos). However, I get a kick out of watching NBA players fight. I think Shaq had a higher free throw percentage than the percentage of punches landed by all NBA players in any fight.
Thursday night you ain't going anywhere if we have to tie you down. Also, wear the same underwear(unwashed) like Pat Hickey did during his scoring streak with the Leafs.
That tells me that there will be more betting from Canadians than Americans. It makes sense because I'm sure that this is a bigger event in Canada.
As well, it is more likely that these Canadians will be betting with their hearts. As such, the line will shift to reflect that so the bookies can get as close as possible to get equal betting on each side. They need to encourage more betting on the US so they make the line or the odds more favourable for bettors picking the US.
This shift in the line is totally artificial in that it will be based more on popularity than merit.
All this means is that if one wants to bet with their head instead of heart, they should bet on the Yanks.
The Tkachuks.
However, admittedly they are talented and effective thugs. Anybody would want them on their team.
The US looks like a good bet and I don't even know how much Canada is favoured. Do you bet hockey at all?
I agree, jarred tinordi, son of Mark tinordi, had basically his whole face shattered a few years ago in a minor league game. I'm surprised nobody has ever lost fingers as their hands usually are flat on the ice if they go down. I used to love it but don't care for it anymore.
Now what did you say to me about turning my man card exactly in the Ellen DeGeneres thread....
On another note...Tinordi did manage to get 205 NHL games in ...Big guy slow as molasses can't fight.
Too many guys fighting that can't fight. Fighting after any hit is absurd, staged fights are also absurd.
We held an emergency man card meeting as we take this very seriously. The vote was 5 - 2 not in your favour. It will be taken by force if necessary unfortunately.
Given the injuries that team USA has sustained it's more than reasonable to conclude that Canada should win this.
Binnington worries me though.
Binnington worries me though.
I've also seen a few officials over the years take the worst of it while trying to break up fights. Fortunately nothing serious, but still the poor guys take enough abuse as it is.
The US is a slight favourite currently at - 111 (Canada is - 108).
