I don’t understand why the number 10 position declined in use. Seem to see more that discussion pop up when people talk about James, Coutinho and Ozil.
short flame
The game changed to be more high pressure and the teams can’t have 10 roles in that type of game. Also the reason why so many false 9 are appearing. I liked the classical 10 role, still pretty popular if you watch South American football but in Europe the pep style changed the game to be less positional high press high intensity
Classical 10s don’t move much, they make the others run around and dictate the game, it just doesn’t fit the modern role they want to portray
burnt cedar
I don’t understand why the number 10 position declined in use. Seem to see more...
Cause coaches nowadays see it as a luxury position
Which is sad because some of the best players of all time are 10s and if they were maximised properly with pieces to do the hard running for them they could take over games by themselves

Like pep’s assistant said, his 2 touch style killed bad players but it also killed the most talented. Now most players are good, there aren’t as many shit players but you also don’t see those amazing players that break the mold anymore

That’s alright but going to get shredded by like Russia
celest zephyr
Kuemper is
Huh that INT too bad
Just don’t have that good prospects right now
That are coming into thenhl draft in like the next year or two
robust grotto
No it’s not awful, there’s just no star goalie that stands out. It’s really not that big of a deal but bc it’s Canada it’s dissected more
celest zephyr
The bigger issue is prospects tbh
robust grotto
True… I’m trying to think of any recent Canadian goalie that was drafted high
short flame
Surprised Canada still has such a high percentage of goalies in the nhl
Fleury is decent
Oh recent
robust grotto
Like Vasilevskiy, Knight, more recently the Preds and wild drafted a goalie in the first round, both not North American
short flame
My bad then
robust grotto
Yeah recent, you’re good, he’s still a good shout out
celest zephyr
Oh yeah fleury
robust grotto
It’s just interesting that they haven’t been able to develop any star goalies in the last 10 years or so
celest zephyr
The issue is that they are all old or getting up there
short flame
Levi is coming don’t worry
celest zephyr
Tbh Gibson and helle is kinda rough
Better two man rotation but if Gibson is your second best goalie yikes
robust grotto
On paper yeah but Gibson carrie bro I promise

Can’t wait to see the Levi Anderson partnership

It might be a hard watch since it’s a little outdated but look into the 1972 super series between Canada and Soviets - arguably some of the best hockey in the history of the sport
Paul Henderson is a god to Canadians who are a few generations older than us. Just incredible story
short flame
Poor Rochester have to play Subban I think at the moment. That guy is just pro for his family connections
robust grotto
Soviets came to Canada first and beat the fuck out of you guys. Phil Esposito pleased to fans on a post game interview at center ice to stop booing them, that we’re all Canadians and we’re playing for the love of Canada.

Wow Canada got spanked in 1974
robust grotto
Thousands of Canadian fans traveled to Moscow to cheer on Canada in the second part of that series. Red army officers with ak47s watching the stands… thousands of drunk Canadians fans cheering in Canada, thousands of miles away from home
“Da da Canada! Nyet nyet Soviet”
celest zephyr
Disgrace to Canada
robust grotto
Makes me smile every time. I love that story so much lol. And yeah, Soviets we’re beyond dominant
So the reason why they created the summit series in the 70s was bc NHLers were not allowed to play international
So that whole era of hockey is dominated by Soviets bc no “pros” were allowed to play international
Soviets designated their players as being in the army, used that as a loophole even though they were 100000% pro hockey players

Representing your country should be a right not a privilege. I don’t care if it’s the middle of the season and the team needs me, I’m canceling my contract to play for my country. Maybe I’m just too patriotic

That series was so important to the fabric of international hockey. Hockey Canada and the players stepping up to make that series happen matter so so much, and they were all very proud to be a part of it

One big problem is bc the main championship happens every May

So all the good players that make the playoffs don’t play in the tournament. Then you have a bunch of NHLers who just finished their season that don’t want to play for Canada or USA bc they’re beat up

Yeah. I agree. It’s not easy
Basically I’m desperate for a third tournament. One in like august. No season being stopped mid season . Every nation gets a chance to have all their best players playing
Hockey has never been better. We need to see Crosby and McDavid on the same team already

Another issue nhl had is that if a player gets injured, the team is responsible more than the national team is
It all comes down to money and bs

I’m pretty sure there was a Brazilian player who did that when série A didn’t want their players to travel. He got on the plane either way

And then owners cried about players getting injured before a playoff race. Like imagine Tage goes to USA and breaks his leg

It happens both ways

Injuries happen and you can’t avoid it

But the tournament was dope tbh. Team Europe made the finals too. NHL should do it again BUT no gimmick. Best of best. Nation vs nation. Like the smaller countries have their teams

Why do that
They did it bc they wanted NHLers like Kopitar and Zuccarello to be there
But didn’t want to have Norway and Slovenia get fucked 55-2 versus Canada

One thing about these international hockey tournaments is that they are tiered, meaning there’s another tournament happening at the same time but a tier under. So nations get relegated and promoted for the next year’s tournament

It’s their own fault for not sending their best players

So Canada and US usually send this mix of nice to average players from shit NHL teams and then like prospects

It’s a shame, the nhl fault. Like Colombian league didn’t take a pause for this World Cup and people were complaining about low attendance during the final. I say blame yourselves for not planning ahead of time

I get it and I can’t really defend it

Hey we won the IIHF development cup
It’s international so by nature more important than the nhl

It’s conflicting tbh. as an NHL fan I really do prefer them skipping the olympics. As a hockey fan? It’s ass
That’s the thing though is that NHL is by and far the cream of the crop in hockey. 100/100 players would rather win a cup than a Olympic gold
