U23 North America
Especialy Without Russia is swithout Russians, hockey is not what it is🙂
So if Russia is “rightfully banned” does that mean Evgeni Malkin shouldn’t be on the team then? Does that mean Sergei Murashov, Vasily Ponomarev, or even Nikolai Knyzhov shouldn’t with be with the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins then?
Why are Americans not banded then? You know we've funded the war in gaza since day 1, right? Stick to sports guy
Get while the gettin’ is good. Plain and simple. Dubas will never get this much for Rakell as he can right now or at least in the off season. And DK, they left him off because he wasn’t playing this well. That’s why it’s called a career year. Please don’t F this up Dubas. Maximize the value.
Why's it freaking matter if Sid made the call himself to not play in Philly or NY?? Like come on lol country comes first or should come first. If i was a hocley player id sure as heck skip a game or two to make sure I'm healthy by not playing freaking 2 games regular season games before 4 Nations ? Like come on why are people so butt hurt about this? So stupid lol
I really don't understand the "Sid thing." Did he not clear himself? Is he his own doctor? After 20 years of blodd, sweat, and tears, he's in question here? Just stop it Pens fans, just stop it! Thank you DK for the update on info on what you know about the whole "Sid thing."
Russia should be banned? You need to correct yourself ASAP before you lose a lot of followers. Russia has only defended itself against a radical, Pro-Nazi government in the Ukraine, backed and funded by NATO for it's own financial gains. That entire war is a farce, and it's responsible for the slaughter of thousands of innocent people. Newsflash, Bud. Putin isn't your enemy. Turn off your propaganda, do some actual political research, and stick to sports. What a ridiculous comment. JUST DO BETTER, DK.
This chat is filled with fools who voted for a dictatorship and billionaires.
Rackell played like crap last year and is part of the reason why they missed the playoffs. Get rid of him while he's hot. We can lose with him. We can lose without him.
How do you know Sweden tried and the Rocket being focused said" i do not want hear about Sweden crap" then gave in later?
That little flip was just right, It's players like Rakell that make all the difference. Thank you DK
I was gonna say that like Russians are already here playing in the NHL. Gonna make them sit and watch a tournament that they can’t even play in because of something they had nothing to do with. Doesn’t make sense to me. Kinda pisses me off a little bit actually. I would wanna represent for my country
Was listening on spotify but had to jump over 2 sentences in DK. Ricky was obviously a snub and I am glad it is fixed. That said lets be honeat… the absolute dumbest gm snub seems pretty clear when Canada says they are starting the tourney with Binnington as the #1. Dude is sub .900 sv%. Hill is the back up and played all last season with another guy they could have chosen who has a .921 sv% and is 24-2…. not having Logan Thompson may actually open the door for Canada to loose a "best on best" for the 1st time since Turin in 06
Hey @DK Pittsburgh Sports J1Q – Do you agree that while Connor McDavid might be the most talented player in the world right now with his crazy speed and handling, Sidney Crosby is the most valuable player with his playmaking ability and strength on the puck. Even players not known for physicality like Rakell seem to dump him on the ice a lot, but I don't see that happening to Sid. I think all the speed and fancy moves in the world don't help if you can't stay on your feet.
