The McDavid/Crosby Team Canada Conversation



Nhl hockey 2024-25 : With the new nhl season around the corner and preseason moving along, we’ve been doing plenty of team previews and predictions , but I also want to look ahead to one of I think the most tantalizing events on the nhl schedule this year, the 4 nations faceoff and specifically team canada in regards to who should ride with connor mcdavid and sidney crosby either separately or together on what should be a stacked team up front. Nathan mackinnon , brad marchand , mitch marner , connor bedard to name a few, but who do you think? I understand we’re doing a little nhl fantasy picks with this but given that we haven’t seen a tournament like this with mcdavid and crosby together yet, it’s super exciting.

  1. Idk why ppl are excited to watch this stupid "tournament" it's nothing but a cash grab & tbh there is absolutely NOTHING international about it. Even the Spengler cup has more value then this useless trophy

    International hockey belongs in the winter Olympics & the IIHF with the worlds best players all having a shot to qualify there national team to the event not these stupid side shows for Betman to justify not letting NHL players compete on the biggest stage

  2. The top 6 that you mention…WOWZERS!!! Unbelievable! But for glowing hearts, I would be starstruck to see Sid, McKinnon, and McD. But realistically, someone has to take the second line. So, Sid with either McD or McK works for me.I there would be more goals from Sid and McD playing together.

  3. Marner is gonna be on another level this year, then he'll walk to UFA leaving Leafs with nothing

  4. One is generational talent that plays a strong 200 foot game, great leadership and multiple cups. The other is a pretender. Even at age 38, Crosby is still a more complete player than McChokeinGame7

  5. Hyman deserves it. If he has another 50 goal season with McDavid then its just plain pettiness and stupidity to not pick him, plus chemistry matters which those 2 have plenty of so it just makes sense. As for the right wing Bedard just makes sense too. Imagine McDavid setting him in the slot or on a rush with Hyman in front or as third man in.

  6. Hyman Mcd Barzal
    Marchand Crosby Mackinnon
    Stamkos Point Stone
    Konechny OReilly Marner Giroux and Benn? Kadri?

    Makar Toews
    Morissey Doughty
    Theodore Pietrangelo Dunn? Letang?

    Fleury
    Binnington
    Hill

    Bedard dosent have the complete game and hes simply not good enough yet on both ends of the ice, Bouchard is way too one dimensional, and wouldnt even be getting top powerplay time, so he's obsolete. Benn is on this team incase the Tkachuks give us a hard time.

    its kinda the perfect team, you could throw robert thomas on it, but i wanted to respect the vets considering it was their primes where they werent allowed to compete.

  7. my guess would be at least for the start
    Marchand – Crosby – Mack, all Nova Scotia line and the chemistry that they already have
    Hyman – McDavid – Marner, just for the chemistry that Hyman has with both of them
    This being such a short tourney, players familiarity with each other will matter a lot

  8. The conversation I keep having with my friends, is that Crosby should 100% be captain. I keep asking them to explain to me WHY Crazy SHOULDN'T be captain, based on what he has done, and what he continues to do, and his track record of being a captain and a leader. Baffles my mind. 5000% Crosby should be the captain.

  9. I've always said that Hyman is crazy underrated. Remember when Kunitz played for team Canada? Everybody was saying WTF is this guy doing here? Simple, he gets puck possession, passes it off and then goes to the net. Pretty close parallel. Team Canada dominated that year, let in a total of three or four goals for the entire tournament. Crosby/McDavid/McKinnon truly shine when they have someone to get puck possession for the team. I'd also like to mention that's why Crosby is still elite, he can still dig in the corners and small areas and get himself puck possession FOR HIMSELF, even at the end of his career.

  10. I’m not convinced that Crosby should even be playing in the tourney…
    He’s an old head that could drag the team down

  11. As a Canadian, I will miss not seeing Russia. Always like watching Canada vs America and Canada vs Russia. Russia not being in the mix is not good for the game IMO

  12. Team Canada will be so insanely stacked with forward talent, USA is not far behind. This will be fun to watch probably the best international hockey since 2010 Olympics.

  13. Don’t worry about MCDAVID ! Also Crosby is a hockey legend! It’s going to be 35 million watching the 4 nations cup
