Slap Shot Podcast Episode 83 | Canada Wins GOLD at 4 Nations Tournament

Friday Feb 21, 2025
Welcome to Slap Shot Podcast! In episode 83, host Christopher Morais (@fuzzychris91) takes to recap the final between Canada and USA at the 4 Nations tournament. There were skeptics at first, but the tournament lived up to the hype and more.
USA coach Mike Sullivan made an interesting decision to sit Kyle Connor in the finals for veteran Chris Kreider, but was that the right move? Was it too risky considering the health of Matthew and Brady Tkachuk?
Canada's goaltending was always going to be an issue and it was for parts of the tournament, but when it mattered the most, Jordan Binnington was ready to face the music and carry an entire country on his back. Is he the early leader to be the starter at the Olympics in 2026?
