REMINDER THAT THE RUSSIA CANADA GAME IS BEING BROADCAST ON BOTH CBC AND SPORTSNET. IF RUSSIA WINS IT WOULD BE A HUGE BLOW TO THE ALREADY SHAKY CANADIAN IDENTITY.THERE WOULD BE LITERALLY NO BETTER OPPURTUNITY TO LOL AT CANADA THAN NOW IF WE LOSE

good thread

just up for some free healthcare, lardo?

is that the designated sharting aisle?

I like to eat butter chicken with basamati rice and garlic naan bread.

So if Hillary wins will she just encourage them with fat acceptance and pride or will she be like Michelle Obama and try to make them go outside?

nobody asked you jamal

butter chicken is pretty pleb tier

prawns korma and spicy dal is the way to go

i think kanada should be nuked if they lose

>he doesn't cook his food in a sheep's stomach

About 2 blocks from Columbia. And I honestly don't like pizza. Although I always had a thing for Famiglia, but just for their garlic knots. I also played hockey at Chelsea Piers as a kid, so I guess that's probably why: the smell.

But I never did this?

I didn't draw , it's a picture I saved from /hoc/ once

but man, that shit is smuk as fuck
thanks famalamarino, fukken saved for future use

i realize, i drew the pic you posted. i have just seen you post that pic a couple times the last few days so i figured id make you your own

i would say its the golden age not because the players now are so much better than the ones they had in the past but hockey canada has gotten the coaching, team building part nailed down. its not about putting together the best 20 guys but putting together a functional team using the best 50
the reason i think its the golden age is because of how good the americans are getting. their young guys coming up are scary good, theyre starting to tip the balance of the draft especially in the higher rounds. i think we are going to see some epic canada vs usa barn burners in the near future

Fucking neat man
without sounding too greedy, could you make a stars one too?
That would be the icing on the cake

what specifically do you want? it wouldnt make much sense for me to do a stars pic with the lightning hat in the background, but i can draw you something

>got everything nailed down.

I don't really know. about that.

We suck shit at WJCs.

It's just that our older players are insanely good.

just something smuk-related to the stars.
They are my favourite team and there is not enough memes except the overposted seguin noods

Everyone in the WJCs wants to be the hero, they want the spotlight. Look at Virtanen and Marner last time. It wasn't until the very end that one of them figured out how to get shit done.

Don't remind me of him.

wait there are people who haven't filtered kippers yet?

can i eat your ass?

The meme that never stops giving

Based double agent man

>there is an alternate dimension where steven stamkos scored on all of his chances at the world cup and had a hat trick in every game

>It's just that our older players are insanely good.

Because these are the same players who dominated the world juniors from 2005-2009.

After them we have the next group that wasn't as good. Look up canada's players in the 22-26 age group. They are way worse than the ones 27-32

>tfw >we won 2014 and 2016

Kinda shitty but I couldn't really think of anything super creative, plus I'm waaay too shitty at drawing to try to draw stupid sexy seguin

I bet Burns owns some lizards.

This is so fucking sad. What's happening to our youth programs?

Our goalie crop is already pretty shit.

What colors should a Seattle and GTA expansion team have?

Less and less people are playing because it's getting too expensive for people. It's worrying when hockey participation drops up there.

>Our goalie crop is already pretty shit.
This desu. Every youth goalie we have is subpar, and it's painfully obvious. I have heard some youth hockey programs just ship in finns for memetending magic because no one in the area is good enough or wants to play goalie.

Yeah I just looked up the goalies. The only noteworthy canadian goalies aged 22-26 are Matt Murray and Malcolm Subban

You forgot Parayko in the young group, defense doesn't seem deep though.

>Have the best hockey develop program in the world
>Struggles to develop goalies

The fuck?

Everyone wants to be a Crosbar or an Ovechkin.

It's not like back then where people want to be a Roy or a Brodeur or a Hasek.

107th post for Can - Sweden finals

Yeah nah everyone knows goalers develop later than forwards and defensemen. We will always have a price tier goalie

Not sold on paryko being good. He has 1 season under his belt and People thought Luke Schenn was going to be elite for a while

Yeah but price was still decent when he was young.

Why didn't Niskanen play for the Finns? Injured?

didn't make it. we were stacked.

must be nice to have both him and virtanen waiting in the wings

Who is that?

eller

What next for his career?

I'm only watching Sportscentre because Laura Diakun is on.

She is perfect

Continue being crosbys bitch in the playoffs

>Canada sending all our players to training camp
>no Canadians on my team

Based

Hurry up and btfo Europe

As training camp begins, Artturi Lehkonen continues to garner praise from both his teammates and coaches. They rave about his hockey sense, abilities as a playmaker, and ability to adapt to the North American game. He's ready.

hope that when he's near retirement that a team that has a chance picks him up to be their third line winger

>truba

I hate winterpeg, but fuck him. What a piece of shit

>People who are part of an organisation praise a player from said organisation

Sucks that Chriraq won so many cups recently. I root for Minnesota after my useless team misses the playoffs

Artturi is one of Montreal's top prospects who was largely off the radar until this past season. He's come out of nowhere and blown the organization away. The worry was that he wouldn't find success in the North American game, but rookie camp and now training camp are steadily showing that he's ready to be a productive forward at the NHL level.

This guy was better than Puljujarvi in his draft year. Only fell to the second round because of his smaller size.

Yeah, honestly I like teams that don't win as much, feels better to root for them, but the wild are just eh for me. MY second favorite team is probably montreal, I loved canada and they're just comfy
It's nice here, the blacks here aren't as cuntish as chicago

I wouldn't want to be behind Myers on the depth chart either, but his excuse seemed so lacking.

There's only Myers and Buff, their only real D prospect is on the left side. There's no way at his pace that Trouba doesn't surpass Myers.

And he's going to be just like Drouin and Hamonic, teams will just lowball the fuck out of the Jets because they know he wants out. If they've been trying since May, why the hell would they go public? Why skip training camp?

Poor fella.

That's pretty sad.

how did he do last year? I thought he was putting up some points

he's still getting goals but his assists were down

hello?

he did nothing wrong, they shouldn't have traded for Myers

Lmao did Russia think they had a chance?

shut the fuck up.

Just out of curiosity; how did the IIHF handle the dissolution of Czechoslovakia? Was it based on birthplace, whether or not you played for Czech or Slovakia? Did players get to pick?

Fuck, I really wish they just said "fuck it" and let Czechoslovakia. They would easily be the 3rd best team in the world, and could make a case for 2nd against Sweden.

NA would have shit on Canada and everyone knows it

the concept of czechs and slovaks wasn't magically created upon the dissolution of czechoslovakia

I think the players got to pick based on their national identity, much like Paul Stastny got to pick between Canada, USA and Slovakia

What are you trying to imply here

>NA would have shit on Canada
>Couldn't beat the commies
>The same commies Canada btfo
>0-3

?

That NA would have beaten Canada

They only lost that game due to not pulling an injured goalie soon enough. They were the better team.

Did you guys just not watch the games or something?

NA would have exposed Price.

>That NA would have beaten Canada

>0-3 trying to make an analysis

>actually thinking anyone could have stopped the absolute juggernaut that is Team Canada

Stay delusional

Would have been a 9-2 blowout, Mackinnon and Gaudreau both with hat tricks.

Finland ruined it of course, worthless fucks

Yes, and if you honestly think that NA would have stood a chance against Canada with fucking Gibson in net, I don't know what to tell you.

Trust me, I'm very aware of Czech/Slovak identity. But I guess what I'm asking: was there any kind of poaching?

Hell, it's a running meme here on /hoc/ that the best American hockey players (30 years ago) were actually Canadian. Hull comes to mind. The US clubs actively recruited Canadians who could meet the US metric, just a drop of blood was okay. And if not, living in the US for 5 years was okay.

Was there any kind of recruitment? And a second question, why does Czech seem to have much better players than Slovakia? Slovakia has HoFers like Chara and Hossa, but they're the Old Guard. But there's not much beyond that. Yet Czech still produces a lot of talent.

Hell, this tournament shows it. Czech can ice a (admittedly not particularly good) team. Slovakia can't.

Let Price for me.

Look at that fuckin critter lmao

I've never thought about it like that, but no, I'm not aware of any recruitment attempts
I'd also say canadians as a nation are quite a bit more similar to americans than czechs are to slovaks

as for the second question, hockey is expensive to play. A 5 million country doesn't have the capacity to care about 100 different sports and unfortunately slovaks don't care about hockey nearly as much as czechs do

it was different when everything was state-funded and done within a country twice the size
we could ride on their coattails

>morning hockey

I wish they'd stop doing this

tfw no house hippo bro eatin my peanut butter crumbs

WTF I'm #Syrup4Europe now

...

>"experts"

critter loves his momma

>snes

>full season with phaneuf
>positive

lmao, I bet they think karlsson is good at defence

fierce animal
with his mother though
one is soft

To be fair, if not for Tortellino, team USA would have probably fared a bit better

Now I wish my home had a house hippo.

that was after he was chosen though, they should have known

I told you all Europe would win! Canada is fucked.

>0 (zero) wins

>shitting on Gibson

And I suppose you want 4 on 4 meme tendie?

I will have a raging diamond boner ejaculating handsfree several times for at least 4 hours if Canada actually manages to lose to team Europa

Gibson is awful. He looked like he had never skated before. If he isn't injured then Anaheim is completely retarded for trying to rely on him.

>mfw I think I'm the one behind this post

Phaneuf is top 3 in the league and Karlsson was snubbed of the Norris desu

>phaneuf is the third best defenceman in the league

wew lad

Matt "4 on 4 Glass-Hand-Man" Murray

He's never looked that bad with the Ducks, I think he was nervous getting the full game start, never seen him over-slide so much.

move to Canada or the eastern united states

I guess we'll see who has better regular season stats (if Murray ever gets back in net)

Winnipeg: Fowler
Edmonton: Trouba
Anaheim: Pouliot+Edm 2017 first

>no wins

>state-funded and done within a country twice the size
Didn't even think about that, and I think that's the real reason. I guess it works for Finland but that's because their next biggest sport is meme baseball. When I was in Prague for work, I was shocked by how "little" they cared for hockey. Everyone knew Jagr, but hockey was still in that 3rd tier. Basketball seemed more popular.

Who are the biggest Slovak prospects? I'm a debbies fan and we're all excited for Zacha, but I can't think of any SLovak prospects with promise.

Memeing aside, you have no idea how shitty >our defence corps is if you don't think Phaneuf makes it better

He is absolutely horrible. Anaheim isn't going to make the playoffs with his dusty ass in net

Sure why not

do you think puljujarvi and mcdavid will soap each other up in the showers? will they giggle and frolick in the showers? soapy?

you probably met with wrong people
I definitely think hockey is bigger than basketball there

Dano, Reway are the most notable recent ones
I think I heard this guy could be a future 2nd rounder or something

there's also a couple of goalies like Tomek, Huska

yeah, it's real bare, I know

Delete this

Go Oilers

Our meme baseball is barely alive anymore m8. Nobody follows it aside from small villages in the countryside.

pulju is no faggot

It's not gay if Connie is wearing a skirt

Maybe McDavid's gf and Bullju

Why not move to real baseball? At least you'd have competition.

I never said no gay shit. I said some harmless team building exercises!

Like lifting, ping pong, or sodomy.

Guys help me I'm fucking pissed

Although my beloved Vienna Capitals won against the fucking energy drinks I am extremly upset.

The amount of refpuck I witnessed today, the effortst the refs put into it to somehow try and let Red Bull win
How the fuck is this even allowed? How can one league be so fucking blind to obvious rigging.
It wasn't your simple everyday refpuck, the refs literally tried to gift Red Bull the win by violating the rules themselves.
What's the point in rooting for other teams in this league?

I even got into an argument with some Red Bull Hamplanetess """fan""" who was all like: Red Bulls a good buy, they DINDU NUFFIN

Pls help

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>getting triggered by refpuck

It's part of the game. Ask any Flames or Sabres fan.

>snes

>gf broke up with me a month ago
>unemployed
>broke
>overweight
>the state of swedish hockey

HAHAHAHAHAHHA XDDD XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

this amount was just some simple "part of the game"
The refs started violating the rule book so hard, they even gave "counter penalties" whenever the capitals had a PP so Vienna wouldn't play with a man advantage for longer than 10 seconds
And worst most of the Vienna penalties where made out of thin air

The Dindu Nuffin hamplanet took me over the top then
She literally tried to defend RB playing with the refs although I could counter everyone of her arguments
This game fueled my hate even further
One day they will kick me out for lifetime in Salzburg

...

Not the guy you replied too, but I can only advise you to expect every single game to be rigged and not let it stress you and raise your blood pressure.

at least you didn't go 0-3

so betman cup eh

Moral winners are Team NA, though. The show these kids put on..

>SENS

Reminder that if you watch the Buttman cup you're just putting more money into Buttman's wallet.

>moral winners
>not Team Europe for sticking their dick so far upp bettmans ass that you can see the tip sticking out of his jaw-dropped open mouth

>ZERO WINS

did you take the picture secretely Finland?
That literally was the face just before I lost my shit while listening to that hamgalaxy

I don't need to expect that, the games are rigged in most cases for Energy Drinks
But this game was surreal, the refpuck was obvious as hell
I always try to stay the calmest as possible without getting my blood boiling but it's hard lad

Where was the refpuck? Europe had the heat, Sweden didn't.'

Please lay off of the Latvian potato-juice, my European friend.

>le crying basketball man

>ZERO WINS

who here /notlast/? our year la!

Reminder that Kopitar is an expert memer

>we fooled them all, boys

''Debunked'' in the sense that this is a moot point.

>c-cups dont matter i dont even like winning!

They matter, but if you think they're any proof of USA not being shit at hockey, you're a fucking idiot.

>its been 4 months already

I have enjoyed this thread.

Have you, user?

I'm not talking about the mem-win europe grabbed from Lundpads
It's about my home league

I feel glad for you
Just try and not get your point robbed 1 sec before regulation
and FUCK SALZBURG
The amount of refpuck they recived today was unbearable, hopefully Trattnig gets a career ending injury soon
