Official Four Nations Cup Thread

[thatrapsfan]

@MikelArteta this should be dope - best concept for an All-Star weekend yet.

Instead of having an All-Star Game this season, the NHL and NHLPA are staging the 4 Nations Face-Off, which will run from Feb. 12 through Feb. 20. This is a round-robin tournament that will feature four national teams -- Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States -- with NHL players from those nations filling the rosters.

Read on for full coverage of the event, including rosters, schedule and broadcast information from the opening round games all the way through the championship matchup.

[MikelArteta]

Yup like I said the NBA should do something like that even like the world vs USA best of 3 or something, or even a team usa, team canada, team europe type of ish

The NHL all star game been flabby and sick for so long i'm happy with this change, its going to be dope as hell.

That macdavid, mackinnon , crosby line

canada squad is kind of weak to me overall, i dont like the cirelli, hagal and Seth Jarvis picks.


I still would have let the russians in
