Rick Nash Absolutely Sensational!!!!!!

He is the best player right now! I dont care what people say. He will be on team canada for the next 20 yrs. Hat trick today, did you kids see the moves he put on? No one could do that! Rick Nash for President! Just sick player to watch!

I think there might be a thread about that game allready.

I think.

A little overboad huh? He had a great game yes...but PRESIDENT?????

anyone know when the replay is on tsn tonnight?

Nash on the half breakaway as hes falling, wow!

Nash setting up Thornton on the side of the goal, wow!

I swear if this kid had a decent centreman in CLB he would easily score 60.

Those were really nice goals everyone of them. The passes to him were awesome too, from Heatley and Jovanovski.

You haven't even seen Jagr yet ;)

Nash setting up Thornton on the side of the goal, wow!

Haven't you been reading these boards for the last two seasons?

Nash doesn't set anyone up!

BTW, Nash will have Crosby centering him, shortly.

Same post on two boards? You are such a rebel Papa...tell me dirty stories.

Haven't you been reading these boards for the last two seasons?

Heh, exactly!

Can't wait to see Nash and Thornton get ahold of the American team...it will be a bigger challenge,but they might be the best duo in the tourney.

Also he doesn't play any defense. What's he doing on national team?

Also he doesn't play any defense. What's he doing on national team?True ... sweet avi, BTW.

This is Nash's coming out party. Too early to assume he will play like this all tournament, but he will be a much bigger star by the time it is over.

Yep, the Crosby, Staal and Nash line.

Together for say. . . the 2010 Vancouver Olympics?

wow...3 goals against Latvia! Wayne who?

Piss poor performance from team Canada, nice shot percentage from Nash. The kid is a stud, but this opponent was straight from SUCKSville.

Just think, Nash could have played as an overager for the Knights this year :bow:
He would have scored over 100 goals w/ Perry and Schremp !!!!!

That's the most amazing thing about both Nash and Kovalchuk. Sure, we can nag them about not being good enough on defence....not doing this........not doing that. But when all is said and done, they're still younger than most players we consider "prospects" (Usually like 21-24 years old)

Also he doesn't play any defense. What's he doing on national team?I don't recall whether this one came from the HF or Metro****** CBJ boards bizoncol, but I'm sure you'll remember it ... Nash doesn't play on the PK!!

Send him back to juniors!!

He had a nice game today, but that half breakaway goal shouldn't have counted.

ya, hehe. he played sooo great that he got four points in 1 game but is only a plus 1. as always all offence but no defence to his game at all.

yeah, he should get less ice-time in 5on5.

Hossa was great!
Setzinger was impressive!
Mezin wow-ed!

Though fans in Canada were unable to watch anything but the Canada game so far.

As a Canadian living abroad I'm seeing ALL the games and noticing that Nash is far from alone in the excellent department.

So don't put his performance so far ahead of others you in Canada haven't seen much of yet.

ya, hehe. he played sooo great that he got four points in 1 game but is only a plus 1. as always *** offence but no defence to his game at ***.

That's because 2 of hist points were on the powerplay. Try watching the games next time.

That means he is -1 in 5on5 game...

so guys... how long before we can start saying that Nash is now overrated???

Too much hype because of a hat trick against a weak team. I'm sure there have been many other players that have gotten a hat trick against Latvia before, who aren't given near the credit that Nash is here.... IMO it's over-hyping a player - a common theme here at HF.

Nash was very good for Canada... as Pierre would say - Monster of the game!

But come on... one hat trick against weak competition and he's the next one??

I hope Nash can continue his play though... he was one of the few solid team canada players yesterday (along with the top line). The rest of the team played like they haven't played much hockey this year.

I wish I could have seen the other performances as well to get an idea of how non-team Canada players have been playing.

For weak competition, Canada had to sweat quite a lot. They had a great powerplay, but without it...
Of course I know that powerplay belongs to the game, but what I mean is that Latvia was far from weak.

That means he is -1 in 5on5 game...
No, that means he is +1 in 5on5.

Latvians scored 4 goals, Nash was on the ice only for 1 of them (to be exact - 4th), and the only conclusion you can make is "no defense to his game at all". Brilliant.
Morrow and Fisher were minus-2, so following your logic they have to quit and don't play hockey at all..

they were far from weak, because in the game, Canada was far from strong. They played a weak game.

We've seen lots of competition at this level over the years, and performances like that don't win you games against the top teams in the world... we played like that, and unless the opposition is as rusty, we'd lose to Russian, Sweden, Czech, US or even Finland... all these teams have more talent than Latvia does.

Unlike Canada, most of these teams (not the US most likely) have most of their players playing through the season... so if this rusty team Canada team is playing Russia who's players have all been playing through the year, it's more than likely we take the loss instead of the win we had against Latvia.

Latvia looked better because Canada was so rusty overall.

Not a huge problem though IMO... it's expected that Canada would be rusty, and likely will be for the next game... the round robin gives the team a chance to come together though and get better.

No, that means he is +1 in 5on5.

If he is total +1 and is +2 in PP that means with easy math that he is -1 in 5on5 (4-3 Total and 2-0 pp and 2-3 in 5on5...)

If he is total +1 and is +2 in PP that means with easy math that he is -1 in 5on5 (4-3 Total and 2-0 pp and 2-3 in 5on5...)

how's that? do you get a + on the PP in World hockey stats? I know you don't in the NHL.

Nash would be a +1 5 on 5 as a result.

he was on the ice for one Latvian goal - so he's a -1.
he was on the ice for 2 PP goals for - so that's a 0 (since PP doesn't count on +/- stats unless it's a '-' for shorthanded goal).
he was on the ice for 2 ES goals for - so that's a +2.

it would balance to +1 overall 5 on 5, as PP wouldn't be factored.

If it's different in world championship stats, then you'd be right.

ahaa, I didn't know that. You're probably right. Then I understand hehehehe...:snide:

for someone that puts such a great weight on the +/- stats you sure don't sound like you know enough about how +/- works.

Yep, the Crosby, Staal and Nash line.

:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh: Funniest thing ever

In fact, Thornton and Nash seem very ready for play a great championship. It's the fact they play in Europa since September!

I think the US would need a constitutional amendment for that - only native-born Americans can become President :eek:

He had a nice game today, but that half breakaway goal shouldn't have counted.
Why not? He put the puck right through the goalie's 5-hole. It was an ugly goal but perfectly legit.

Sloppy ugly game from Canada... but they did what they had to do and won. Look for them to improve with every game.

It seems Mikhail Grabovsky is better, hatt-trick so far :D

2G 1A +2 vs. USA

I am guessing you are going to say that the US is weak competition too :dunno:

I have to tell you that I was also doubting him being something special before this game, after playing teams like Slovenia and Latvia. But now I am convinced that he is a superstar. His second goal was just art! He is really something...

He's already taken home the Richard trophy. I'd say that as revelations go, this is belated as hell. Kid's been a superstar for six months. Shrug?

...I think that even with a full compliment of players...(ie:Sakic,Richards,Iginla,Vinny etc.) 61 would still have been selected.

This kid is simply sensational. If he ever gets to have a decent centreman in CLB, he will win the rocket richard trophy for the next 5yrs.

I just want to see the Thornton-Nash together on the same NHL team!

Calm down...He's playing good right now, yes.

good? lol the dude is unstoppable right now, hes a one man wrecking crew. 5 goals in what 3 games? Hey what were the lines today. I heard Smyth was with Draps and Malts.

Nash - Thornton - Gagne
Doan - Morrison - Heatley
Maltby - Draper - Smyth
Morrow - Marleau - ?

Anyone know who was in the fourth-line RW spot or any of the D pairings? I'm fairly certain Regehr was with Jovanovski (ha, imagine that!), but I don't know about any of the other ones.

I guess if anybody on Team Canada is going to stick to the USA as guess I'm glad it's Nash.

We have too many LW. Smyth on RW, Doan LW and Gagne RW LOL, good thing they are versatile.

ROFL, are you telling me you didn't noticed that Mike Fisher was on the ice? :biglaugh:

maybe you haven't watched the game?

Do you see them on Bruins??? :clap: :)


hell yeah! I know I'd give up the 5 1st rounders to sign him as an RFA.
