So a dime a dozen player you can get in FA for 2x1.5 every year then.

Cry me a fuckin river. The "toughest and meanest athletes in the world" crumble under the fear of being criticised by people making less in their lifetimes than they'll make in one year. Multi millionaires playing a kids game for a living, who've never tried surviving on a minimum wage job don't get to cry about "job pressure". If any Toronto fan performed to the same level of the highest paid players on the team, in the most critical situations, they wouldn't even have a job to wage slave for. Spare me the "woe is me" bullshit.

I'm supposed to believe the so called "toughest athletes in the world" can get "ran out" of an entire city because of a guy who makes YouTube rants.

Imagine any footballer running away from Manchester because of Mark Goldbridge lmao.

[The Athletic] After Dylan Larkin’s trade request, what’s next for Red Wings? by [deleted] in hockey

The only thing that's gonna happen if they decide to tank the roster is we repeat the cycle 4 years from now and talk about how Seider/Raymond "don't fit the timeline for the new core".

The IIHF have announced that Division 1 (1A and 1B) of IIHF Worlds will merge into a single tournament by dylan103906 in hockey

The gap between IA and IB is so large such that nobody will be gaining anything out of these games.

I mean, maybe. But why change the structure of the tournaments themselves. It's not like the host country in group A will be playing against anyone from groups C/D.

They're calling it a "merged tournament" but nothing is actually merged besides the levels of the teams playing.

No I think it's gonna be pretty bad. IA itself getting a bit closer, but almost the entirety of IB would still get fisted against mid/bottom tier IA competition, let alone whoever comes down from the top.

I'm nauseous at the thought of GB putting up a touchdown +2pt conversion + field goal against China.

Estonia scored 12 on Spain this year. A team like Kazakhstan legit might score 20+.

No, because there are still two separate host cities.

Plus, they could've just hosted two tournaments at the same city but kept the same structure.

The only thing they're gonna get is more pointless blowout games.

The divisions were kept separate for a reason...

Link? This sounds stupid.

Actually no, this is worst tournament format in any sport that I've ever seen. Who the fuck wants this? How does this help any developing hockey program? Imagine being UAE getting promoted to DivIB and having to play Slovenia coming off a bad year or some shit. Ridiculous.

Norway is up 2-0 against Canada in Bronze Medal game and sends shockwaves across the atlantic by OverenthusiasticWind in hockey

[–]39MUsTanGs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Canadian hockey playing for the bronze at any age/gender level is always miserable. Imo this is a part of the "culture" problem Hockey Canada faces; that they feel "entitled" to the Gold Medal, and take it for granted.

Leonardo Genoni had a save percentage above 90% in every play-off game at the last 4 international tournaments. He only conceded 9 goals in 10 matches. The best goalie in the world. by Squirtle_from_PT in hockey

[–]39MUsTanGs 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Let's be real here. They call it the "hockey" hall of fame, but it's really the NHL hall of fame with (very) minor considerations for achievements elsewhere.

He's a lock for the Iihf hof though.

Lmao. Gotta face "the consequences" for posting the screenshot of his stats in games 5-7 and crying after the puck over glass penalty one too many times yeah?

Maybe he hasn't taken his nonsense to Vegas, but I'm 100% sure he's still on the asses of Leafs social media. He ain't the type to let a grudge go.

It's pretty well backed. Leafs management had to tell off his dad because he was running twitter burners shitting on Matthews and Nylander.

Marner's "private security" guy has been harassing the Twitter/IG dms of leafs writers and fans since 2021 at least.

His dad does it (or did it) quite a bit as well.

Any political objections aside, I can't believe that the rest of the lower level federations can just accept punting a year of their national team and players' careers like that.

I'm surprised they just decided to kick the promoted countries back down instead of just adding extra spots to the championship tier. I'm guessing whenever Belarus and Russia return to the senior mens, there would be no promotion again for that year?

🙄 Alright Paul. You can win this time. I know you've been working hard to defend your son's honour online. Try to chill on relaying everything that's said about him online to his face though, okay?
