And that shitty ass Binnington with the shutout 😂👍
No hall of famer, but a well above average goalie who looks great with a stud team in front of him, the end.
Binningtom with a shutout through two periods 😂
Seriously, as I was saying, he’s a good goalie who plays solid as hell with a good team in front of him. No, he’s not the HoFer type who can carry a team but yes, he’s the type who plays really good with a good D.
And study up on Russia UG, the EU stopped buying their oil from them after the Olympic ban, Italy hasn’t bought anything from them since 2023. Primary suppliers are the US and Norway now, kind of one of the reasons I look the other way when it comes to the whole Venezuelan thing lol.
Please, Hellebuyck is still nothing more than 13-16-7 so he, as you said, not a goalie who can carry a team.
And Binnington is 8-17-6 in 32 starts with an.864 SV% and 3.65 GAA. Worst numbers of any goalie to play at least 32 games. He fucking sucks this year. Thompson should be the starter by merit. And Hellebuyck was the only reason Winnipeg won the President’s Trophy last year so he absolutely did carry his team, his team just sucks to make good use of it.
As for the rest of them sure they might be good, or bad, just like Bennington. I sincerely don’t feel like any of them standout severely enough to give any team a notable advantage so I shrug it off.
No, Binnington is clearly one of the worst starting goalies in the NHL this year. There are other bad teams that have goalies with better numbers. His are atrocious. You shrug it off because you’re biased. Reality is, Hellebuyck (+ Oettinger), Saros and any one of the three Swedish goalies give their team better goaltending than what Binnington has shown this year. It’s a clear, distinct disadvantage. It will be covered up because the Canadian blueline is very strong and their forwards can score 4-5 times a game but it is definitely their biggest disadvantage and clear as day weakness.
As for Russians, I feel bad for the athletes that their government won’t listen to the rest of the world. The Ukraine obviously means more than the Olympics to them *shrugs*
If Russia didn’t sell the EU oil, the Olympics would be played in the dark. Should they boycott oil too? They are actually stupid enough to do that too. Europe buys more oil from Russia than Ukraine receives in financial aid (which pieces of shit like Freeland are embezzling) but won’t let their athletes participate in sports? It’s absolutely retarded. It doesn’t make a single fucking difference. If Russia was there, they’d have 3 of the top 10 goalies in the world. Vasilevskiy, Sorokin and Shesterkin with Bob as #4 and the future Vasilevskiy, Askarov as #5. It wouldn’t even be close to determine which country has the the best goaltending.
Canada once had that type of depth (Brodeur, Roy, Belfour and Joseph all in one generation) but that doesn’t exist anymore.
Winnipeg fell off a cliff when Hellebuyck got hurt. And their goalie depth is crazy too because they have Oettinger and Swayman.
Finland lost today but their goaltending is better than Canada too, so is Sweden’s. For a hockey program like Canada, they should be top two in goaltending yet they’re probably 4th or 5th if Russia was allowed to play.
Binnington has a great record “under pressure” but he’s one of the worst goalies in the NHL this year. His tournament could end very quickly with one bad performance and there isn’t Brodeur or Belfour to replace him like once upon a time when Cujo got shelled in his first game. There is no Patrick Roy or Carey Price either.

Meh, I don’t think any team has remarkable goaltending this time around, not even the US, Winnipeg hasn’t done anything special this year. So since it’s a ? for every team it evens things out in my eyes.

This is precisely why so many question Canada’s biggest weakness; goaltending. A goalie won’t win you a game but he can lose one. Sweden still shouldn’t lose but it’ll be make their life harder for sure.
If Canada outshoots their opponents 8 to 1, they shouldn’t have a problem. It’s when it boils down to a tight game that it could bite you in the ass.

Sweden vs Italy at the Olympics
Sweden leading the shots 31 to 4 but Gustavsson let two of them in so the game is tied 2-2 😂

McMann is going to hit the open market for the first time and he’s 30. He’s only made 3.6 million in his career so far and half of that is gone to taxes. This is his chance to get lifelong security.
With the cap going up and the Leafs sucking balls, he’s going to ask for 5 x 5 from the Leafs. But the cap is going up and there are a lot of teams out there who can afford to overpay so multiple offers brings that number up higher and he most likely goes whomever pays him the most.[/quote]
you don’t say, eh!
It is funny when douche nozzles that are consistently wrong post ridiculous trade proposals. 4-5 first rounders without moving Nylander or Matthews? If the players were that good then playoffs would be guaranteed.
What is not so funny is the pages and pages of useless drivel we will all have to read when Tre doesn’t get us the 4-5 firsts.
What’s actually funny is retards who are completely unaware that teams (especially retarded ones like the Leafs) pay through the nose at the deadline.
What did Laughton cost the Leafs? What did Carlo cost the Leafs? What do depth players cost every single fucking year dumbass? They cost more than what they are worth.
So yes, the Leafs could get 4-5 1st round picks. They won’t be lottery picks. They’ll be anywhere from 20th to 32nd because contenders don’t yield lottery picks (unless you’re the retarded Leafs and trade a 1st to Boston and then tank the season).
The players, individually, are very good. The problem is, the combination of players and the entire system they play does not work for the current coach or core players this team has assembled. It’s the same reason Kessel couldn’t make the playoffs with the Leafs but won Stanley Cups with the Penguins.
If you still don’t understand any of that, copy and paste it into Grok and ask it to explain it to you as if you were a 5 year old. Maybe that will help retard.
