Tournament Awards & All-Star Team (Post #1 for winners)
Pretty much every Finn has been complaining about how bad Armia has been, then he scores a couple of points in the relegation round and suddenly he belongs on the all-star team? Right.
I would have put another Canadian there but didn't really want to have 2 Canadian forwards. Do you think there's anyone else in the group better than Galchenyuk? He's clearly been the best on his team, Russia really don't have any standouts, even Kucherov hasn't been the best, you could put Dano there but I don't really want to include relegation teams forwards
as for Gibson/Subban, Subban has been outstanding in his last 2 games, I don't really think you give it to the goalie with 2 losses against the teams that matter and his only wins over Germany and Slovakia
I take it that Canada doesn't matter then, no?
Still beat you 5-1, Gibson is way better.

Can't find his post but ill add to your response.
If the US lost those games 1-0 would it still be Gibson's fault? The last person to blame for the Canada and Russia losses was John Gibson. He kept those close. Other than strong homerism I don't understand how anyone can think Subban had a better tournament than Gibson.

I wasn't blaming Gibson, just saying that you rarely see a team be 2-2 through the group stage, beating Slovakia and Germany, and winning best goalie.
Not saying he wasn't the best goalie at the time but he just hadn't done enough to win it. Now he has and he will
