Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
pride in one's country is always a lot more important than any meaningless all-star format lol. especially now given the political environment. this is basically the perfect storm for the NHL to profit from such a series. players and the public have been starved for nearly a decade, politics is all fucked up, and the two countries with the most tension between each other are facing off in the finals.
even before all this tariff bullshit, people would still occasionally reminisce about 2010 and the golden goal on twitter and other platforms.
I mean the all-star game is best on best as well, but they just don't take it seriously... attaching a flag to it somehow changes the mentality lol
Always the case. Players can't half-ass it even if they really tried. I would say it's not even a fun or relaxing tournament for the players. Hence why fans are saying 4 nations is 1000x better than the all-star game.
From an owner and teams' perspective they rather look at the bigger picture, and that is the final push for playoffs.
BOSTON — Team USA general manager Bill Guerin popped on Fox News Monday, saying he’d love for President Donald Trump to fly to Boston to attend the 4 Nations Face-Off final against Canada.
You know, the country the leader claims he wants to turn into the 51st state.
Trump won’t be inside the arena for Thursday’s politically charged hockey game. But, yes, he did call the American coaches and players at morning skate to wish them luck over Guerin’s cellphone, which the GM placed on speaker.
Did he mention wanting to annex Canada during the call, the way he did in his social-media post about the game?
Yes.
“A little bit,” Guerin relayed to The Athletic’s Michael Russo. “But I would just try to focus on the message that he was giving us. I’ve said it before: We’re here to play hockey. This is not a political forum. This is a hockey tournament. And he’s just trying to be supportive in the best way that he could, and we appreciate it.”

Canada vs. USA in 4 Nations Face-Off final on Sportsnet
Fierce rivals Canada and the U.S. collide in Boston on Thursday for the 4 Nations Face-Off final. Full coverage begins on on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT.
Full broadcast schedule
Not a political forum, eh?
Here’s Noah Hanifin: “Hopefully we can get the win tonight for our country and for Trump.”
And J.T. Miller: “It was so awesome to get his support. It’s a pretty big deal for him to take time out of his schedule to talk to us for five minutes. It's just another one of those things where we’re kind of pinching ourselves this tournament.”
And Kyle Connor: “It's cool that he’s paying attention and he's there for support. And it means a lot to a lot of guys here.”
And Brock Nelson: “Pretty incredible… For him to take time out of his day, wish us luck and talking about just enjoying the moment… It’s pretty special and something I’ll remember forever.”
Several players in both rooms declined to dig into the topic, though Canada’s Mitch Marner acknowledged, “sure,” the red team would be using that phone call as bulletin board material.
Brad Marchand — who has been vocal in asking that the anthems not be booed — said a ton with a little: “It’s much larger than just a game.”
Yeah launch that fucker into the sun... With Trumpists it's no longer a case of "disagreeing on politics" they are literally people who want their country to be a dictatorship rather than a democracy.
Hopefully Quinn isn't also a dipshit Trumpist
I noticed the Canucks only have 4 Canadians on the roster.. No wonder they suck!
If the reports of the Miller v Petey situation are true, Quinn was the one that complained to management about him calling Petey the f-word and insisted they do something about it.. and he's been the most vocal supporter for LGBTQ issues as well.
I feel like he's in a tough place where most of his best friends probably are Trumpers (ie: the Tkachuk brothers) but he seems like he has his headspace a little more on the caring side of things.

Sounds like a good leader and individual then. Not afraid to speak up!
