May as well get something going about this.

New jerseys have dropped - so that's a start until we see the lineups, etc

I like how it puckers in like an anus.

I could live with the black one I guess.

The others are not good.

“The ice surface, it looks like it’s going to be smaller than NHL rink standards [by] it looks like three or four feet,” he [Pete DeBoer] said. “I don’t understand how that happened.”
This is assuming it gets finished in time.

Chef’s been noodling who’s out and who’s in based on the 4 Nations roster regarding the forwards:

Who’s on the fence of getting ass boot:

Marner
Konecny
Cirelli
Stone

Who’s currently playing good hockey and will be going

McKinnon
McDavid
Crosby
Hagel
Reinhart
Marchand
Jarvis

Who will be going but currently sucks

Point
Bennett

Chefs Analysis

Cirelli is a Cooper player and most likely gets the Nepobaby nod to go. Old man Stone is starting to show his age but something tells me Cooper gives him the nod, I believe in the end they’ll regret the decision to bring Stone. He stunk at 4 nations. Marner sucks, and outside of the “McDavid” goal, he wasn’t good at 4 Nations.

IMO, Marner and Konecny will be dumped for one of:

Wilson
Celebrini
Bedard
Scheifele
Johnston
Suzuki
Horvat


I think Wilson is a lock and the final battle will be between the rest but Celebrini is the favourite. Bedard may knock one of Jarvis or Cirelli out. It’s a tough decision, certainly. I worry about Point and Bennett’s games this season. Will they get it together?

Italians. They're not very organised, but they make great food.
I love to go there on holidays, but I would hate to live there.

Somehow they'll get it sorted, so there will be a tournament. But apparently they managed to build a rink with NHL width (more narrow than the IIHF standard) and IIHF length (slightly shorter than the NHL standard), so it'll be the tiniest rink ever used in an international tournament.
And it's probably too late to try to fix it now. :(

With 4 fewer feet in the neutral zone, if Tom Wilson plays the Euros best keep their collective heads up lest someone gets decapitated....

Happy for Horvat.

The additions

Horvat
Celebrini
Suzuki
Wilson

The defence stays the same. I thought Chychrun and Schaefer had a chance but they decided to stick with the same group. Surprised by the cutting of Bennett but not surprised. Jarvis unfortunately for injury, I think he would’ve made it if not injured. Konecny I felt looked out of place at Four Nations and so not surprised by him not making the cut.

Curious if Bedard was going to make the team if he wasn’t injured
