Think it's safe to say now that Team North America are done for. Canada/Russia and Sweden/Europe will be the semi finals.

How do you end this without the one match-up that everyone wanted to see....? f***in Russians, always ruining everything. Now we get to watch you get your asses kicked by the Canadians because you only show up one period a game...

I was at Czech Republic/US tonight and I'm not sure if it came across on TV, but at a couple of points, there were loud "Let's Go Kessel" chants.

Tortarella deserves the most public, embarrassing firing that any coach has received.

Trouba wants out of Winnipeg. Chia pls.... LOL never happening. Interesting to see where he goes, though. I got to watch about 6 or 7 minutes of the hockey game between football games. I watched 3 goals scored by Corey "dirtbag" Perry and "captain douchebag" Brad Marchand. No more of these games for me. Outside of Team North America, this tourney stunk.

Oilers need RD and Trouba wants out of Winnipeg because he's a natural RD who is forced to play on the left side or third pairing or left side third pairing because Winnipeg has a logjam on RD. Just like how Edmonton has a log jam on LD with Sekera, Nurse, Klefblom, and Reinhart. My dream wish would be to trade Reinhart for Trouba but the more realistic situation and one I'm okay with is trading Nurse for Trouba.

You're really underrating Nurse who is also expansion draft exempt and will finally have a RD to play with that isn't Jultz or Fayne. Put him with Buff and they will be the scariest hardest shooting pair in the league. Plus his value isn't that high since he's a pending RFA who requested a trade. They don't have very high values and the only other team more desperate for a RD then Edmonton is Detroit. But they have valuable pieces or prospects they are willing to give up.

Nurse is gonna be good....but not that good, IMO. Very overvalued by Edmonton fans. I mean, OBJECTIVELY, don't you think it's weird that A) Nurse is always brought up as how good he is by Edmonton fans, who are also quite quick to put him in trade proposals (even as a guy who everyone says is going to be protected.) or B) That it's only Edmonton fans (tons of them) that are pushing this rumor. I've yet to see one Winnipeg fan like "Yeah, let's get Darnell Nurse!" I'm not saying he's a bad player. I'm saying trading Trouba for him is a bad deal. It makes sense from a handedness perspective and him being a cost controlled player. But not much else for the Jets.

Last season everyone had Nurse as one of the four untradeables with Drai, McDavid, and Hall. It's just a matter of a log jam situation kind of like how Edmonton gave up Hall due to a logjam on LW for Larsson. But it all depends on what Winnipeg is looking for. Like if they are looking for a LD which it seems they are if they force Trouba to play LD, then it's Nurse, Reinhart, or Sekera. I doubt they want Sekeras caphit and LOL REINHART. If they want a draft pick it's probably a 1st round + Davidson/Reinhart/Yakupov. If they want to try and reclamation Yakupov make it Davidson/Reinhart + Yakupov. I'll protest in front of Oilers HQ if they trade Nuge or Eberle for him.

I think Nurse is a good 2nd line pairing D with a few 1st line years in there but not overly impressive at it. His value is weighted with his toughness. Trouba is a legit 1st line D, with likely multiple All Star appearances in his future.

Nurse has never been a guy that Edmonton fans have shied away from in rumors where they get someone easily better is what I'm saying. Trouba is easily better. That's why it's a bad deal. The situation isn't ideal for the Jets, but they should be playing the market hard. They have some good leverage right now (as opposed to my Blues and Shatty.) Nurse and a 1st would work, but it's Edmonton and they always pick top 3. But you add to Nurse or it's a bad deal. Nuge for Trouba is much closer value-wise, but you need Nuge.

Nurse was a untouchable for Oilers fans only until the second half last season when Klefblom replaced Nurse as the untouchable. Like Drai is second on the list of untouchable Oilers and yet lots of Oiler fans were clamoring on Nurse + Drai or Drai + 1st for Subban during draft day. Oiler fans are finally starting the addition by subtraction bandwagon thinking of building a team with a system and identity then stock piling on skill. Hell the only reason why Klefblom isn't on the trade block discussion is because they expect him to play with fellow Swede Larsson. If there was no Larsson it be like a 60-40 split between Team Klefblom and Team Nurse amongst Oilers fan. Like oiler fans would rather trade Sekera or Reinhart but we know that's not going to happen. We traded Hall so we need Eberle still and trading Nuge is way too risky especially if Drai or McDavid gets injured with the already lacking center depth. This is why Oiler fans want to trade Nurse. He's our most valuable expendable piece at the moment.

He's our most valuable expendable piece at the moment. All I'm saying is if I had a dollar for every Oiler fan willing to put Nurse in hypothetical deals this off-season, the Blues could almost afford to keep Shatty. Hell, before the Larsson deal, I saw his name pop up tons of times on boards for Shatty. You maybe able to deal Eberle, depending on how far off your FO thinks you guys are. You really came up with the Puljujarvi pick at RW, and Drai can go either C or RW, and Yak sadly has more value to you guys than he does in trade. So your wings aren't as bad off as they could be after dealing Hall. Although, I really wish you hadn't. Hall is a stud.

Canada Vs Russia about to begin and this means Crosby vs Alex O. for the blah blah time Crosby showed up. Ovechkin didn't. And that's why it'll be Canada vs. either Europe or Sweden in the three-game World Cup finals.

And that's why it'll be Canada vs. either Europe or Sweden in the three-game World Cup finals. The Russian team so perfectly personifies everything said about Russian players. They coast, then they dominate, then they lose interest again. They are the Ash's Charizard of hockey players. I love Tarasenko, but I also hate Tarasenko. Such is life.
