They should have a shot/possession clock in overtime. 3v3 should be up and down the ice, instead it turns into teams hoarding the puck for two minutes at a time, circling in and out of the zone.

The Kraken are so completely up and down. I've been to a game we gave up a hat trick in the fourth period, and this week was at a game we scored 7 goals...no idea what to expect from these guys :why:

Four Michigan players made the US World Juniors squad. On paper the US is a stacked squad.

The Juniors program is based out of (the state of) michigan. When I was in HS they used to go TO my HS in Ann Arbor. I had classes with Brett Lebda. Now they're based out of Plymouth. Michigan is eating off that shyt fr

They overachieved like crazy last year. I still don't know how they beat the Avs in the first round.

Matty Beniers has regressed too. Looked like he was on his way to becoming a ppg player or close to it and he's been ass this season.

I actually STARTED that post with "Matty Beniers needs to take that step..." but backed off...in reality he has been just "a guy". Really underwhelming.

Easy and continues to be a problem for Avs, lack of depth. They rarely get any production outside of MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Makar. If you can limit them, you can beat them and that’s what Seattle did last season.

The majority of the USA players come from 3 schools; 4 from Michigan, 4 from U of Minnesota, and 7 from Boston College :whoo:

I'll be keeping a close eye on Habs prospect Lane Hutson from Boston U

Canada lookin kinda mid. :unimpressed: They lost an exhibition game 6-1 to a team of Canadian college players the other day.

Canes have been scuffling lately. I hate how they've never added elite talent and never pay guys once they're like 28. They've built their team like some analytics bozo who thinks all players are immediately trash once they hit 30.
