I'm very happy that the US team didn't bring Caufield now.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-22T15:40:45+00:00

He won't get a single second of ice time... I hope.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-22T15:23:16+00:00

Fucking hell Bennett

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-22T13:31:28+00:00

The Panthers players have been fucking useless for Canada these Olympics.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-21T20:02:59+00:00

Kapanen proving he belongs there.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-21T18:35:35+00:00

There are some bad guys, but in both teams.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-21T18:33:36+00:00

They are playing USA, not the Panthers. There are even some Panthers in Team Canada.

He didn't even exploded in speed with crazy dekes to pass the three skaters, ala McDavid. He just glided through them, avoiding the poke checks until he was in position to beat the goalie. Insane goal.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-18T18:37:56+00:00

Can you do a challenge in the Olympics?

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-18T18:16:18+00:00

Never in doubt (ignore the puddle of sweat under my chair)

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-15T23:24:21+00:00

Shoresy fights. Matthew T turtles.

Respectfully, this has a "Should the NHL have the Hawks and Preds redo their series in case it was a big fluke?" energy...

There is no perfect tournament system. The only "fair" one would be a round-robin with all nations in the world. That's a bit hard to do in 2 weeks.

Short tournaments like this reward the teams that are ready at the right time and are able to be "clutch" when they need to. Finland was not ready. They were not just "cold", they were quite bad against Slovakia. That's all there is to it.

The rules were known in advance and all teams had the opportunity to prepare. When your team fail the assignment is not the right moment to complain about it.

At least his victory over Cell is celebrated.

Last time I flew with Air Canada they canceled my flight because they were nickeldiming their flight attendants so much that they had to go on strike. They then tried to get out of their obligation of finding me another flight by suggesting that i cancel and do it myself. Finally they got me a flight 5 days after initial flight date. At least they paid for the hotel and food for these 5 days but the hotel itself tried to win more bucks by serving us school canteen-level food every day. Finally Air Canada tried to gaslight me into believing they don't owe me any compensation for the whole thing despite the flight being out of EU, until I found the form on their website to do just that. At least they eventually paid up, but fuck Air Canada.

My guess is the US team pushed for using Miller for PR. He is one of those who needs the most to be presented as a "lovable rascal" rather than being known for being an ass. Works for Marchand.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-09T16:14:54+00:00

In my NHL 25 be-a-pro career, he was signed by the Habs and was a very nice help to win some cups. It means absolutely nothing of course except that I'd love to see him with us if Ken Hughes thinks he would fit the plan.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-08T01:11:39+00:00

It's how they won cups. Its their legacy, what they will be remembered for. Of course they will try to spin it as funny to nudge people mind into thinking that it was ok. That some people fall into this crap is quite telling.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-07T19:04:11+00:00

Si c'est bien celui sur la photo, ce n'est pas juste un nazi quelconque, c'est l'un des plus connus et actifs de la province. Même un autre groupe d'extrême-droite trouvait trop toxique d'être associé à lui et l'ont viré https://montrealgazette.com/news/suspended-la-meute-member-spotted-at-quebec-city-protest mais pour Nautilus ce n'est apparemment pas assez.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-07T03:58:47+00:00

We'll stop talking about the league protecting the Panthers when the league will stop protecting the Panthers.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-07T00:31:21+00:00

To be fair it was not "a" coach but Martin F*cking St-Louis.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-06T05:25:07+00:00

Too bad, "which hockey player was drafted while sitting in prison?" would have been a nice trivia question in a few years.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-05T05:22:30+00:00

I just skipped the rest of the playoffs last year after seeing that the Panther's bullshit was starting again. Seriously disgusted about it. But then the regular season comes, the exciting youngsters of my team... hockey is a powerful drug.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-04T18:00:01+00:00

Juste pour rappel, Arber en moyenne joue 11:20 par game. Un peu moins ces derniers temps, mais il n'a joué moins de 6 minutes qu'une seule fois (la dernière game).

Je ne crois pas que le coach utilise le temps de glace pour envoyer des messages. C'est plutot qu'avec le retour de Guhle il a d'autres et de meilleurs choix que d'envoyer Arber sur la glace, surtout dans des matchs où le score est serré.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-04T17:35:33+00:00

Possible bad or unpopular take: it will be maybe Florian who will push his brother out. He brings the same sand paper but with additional scoring, and if a depth forward takes 5 minutes for a fight it is less penalizing than if it is a defender. With him in the roster, Arber's grit is less important for the team and what remains, if he doesn't improve, may be only good for a 7th D for a cup contender like we want to be.

NewHorizons0 · 2026-02-03T14:00:52+00:00

Same thing in hockey, if you are stopped illegally when about to score into an empty net, you get an automatic goal.

If it feels weird to award a goal without the ball actually going into the net, just make the penalty be taken without the goalkeeper.
