he was a healthy scratch today, along with Subban.

 

i really dont get sitting Subban. seems like all puck moving defensemen are thriving on the big ice

I figured PK would of at least had a shift.Keep his temper down and he is one of the best.I noticed Stlouis had some ice time.Good for him!!!

It's not as if this is one of 30 nhl teams. There is not really a "weak" player that you could point at and say he's not good enough. These are all top-line guys that play 20plus minutes. Six to seven of these forwards are going to play less the 12 or so minutes a game. They need to understand their roles.

 

And Subban can move the puck on the big ice (so can just about every other all-star on this team). He also then has to make-up that big ice when he's out of position.

 

They play 2 teams that offer minimal high level challenge which really makes it hard to truly evaluate where they sit.

Listened to a bit of the game at work and once they were done the analysis began. They're still analysing the damn thing at 9pm. One game. They won. Too many dough headed hockey pucks getting paid to chase their tails. Too funny.

You play low skill teams that collapse to the net and the forwards get clogged up and the D-men are open. It won't be any different against the Swiss (or Latvia) but it will be against the Russians and Sweedes. The US doesn't have the skill either but they hate (and don't) play the try not to lose game. Canada is the best team, but the best teams don't always win one-and-done tournaments.
