It's 2025. That title scared the crap out of me. I didn't innitially think this was posted in /c/hockey@lemmy.ca

I thought it was going to be some post about war between 4 nations.

I was like "oh god....what now?"

Now I see it's hockey. GO ZACH WERENSKI!!!!

Yeah, I’m not really massively into the tournament (am Scottish, love the NHL) but will probably back Finland as they are our bros and Sweden to a lesser extent.

Really just trying to post content to maybe get some traction in the community!

You can probably play D for Finland.

Northern European nation with dark humour and a chronic drinking problem with bigger, noisier neighbours?

Finland 🤝 Scotland

Yeah it's nice to see a Blue Jacket up there 😊

Canada has a stacked roster! The 1st power play is rumored to be Crosby, McDavid, McKinnon, Reinhart, Makar. That's a scary lineup.

But I'm of course rooting for my home bois, Lejonat 🇫🇮. Sadly we lost Heiskanen so that's a big blow.

Finland represent!

(I’m not Finnish I’ll just support them)

The Caps, because they don't have any players on any of the teams, and therefore will have the opportunity to rest and recover for the second half of the season!

I'm American. I can only assume we are going down in round 1 by TKO.

You have Helle in nets who is so dialled in right now it’s scary.

If I understand you correctly, how can a goalie win a game of hockey though?

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Can't win if you can't score. Most championships are won because of a goalie.

Matthews MVP in loss to Sid/McDavid.

I think Finland will win. Any idea when this chart was made? Rantanen is with the Hurricanes now but this still shows him with the Avalanche. The trade was only a couple weeks ago, though.

[–] Venicon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Think it’s for sure a couple of weeks old.

Don't care. Call me when hockey is back on.
