Amazon Releases Unreal Behind the Scenes Footage of Team Canada's Practice for the Four Nations Tournament
Prime Canada released a video of Team Canada's practice today ahead of the Four Nations tournament.
The Four Nations tournament between Canada, the USA, Sweden, and Finland will kick off tomorrow with Canada playing Sweden.
Unfortunately for the Canadians, their team has already had one major controversy before the tournament even began.
That has to do with the team's goaltending situation. This morning, Team Canada head coach Jon Cooper announced Jordan Binnington as the team's starter.
This comes after the team refused to take Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson due to personal reasons.
Thompson has without a doubt been much better than Binnington this season. This is how the two matchup in stats.
Save percentage: Thompson .921 (2nd) Binnington .897 (37th)
Goals-against-average: Thompson 2.23 (4th) Binnington 2.89 (34th)
Wins: Thompson: 24 (4th) Binnington 15 (26th)
Hopefully, this decision does not come back to haunt Team Canada.
Meanwhile, today the team held their first practice with everyone on the ice including loads of NHL All-Stars.
It is a special treat to see Cale Makar, Sidney Crosby, and Connor McDavid all on the ice for the same team.
The practice was filmed by Amazon Prime, who posted a special video of the event to social media, promoting the tournament.
The video was actually in a format that many fans have been asking for for years. No commentary, just the sounds of hockey.
Sticks clicking against the ice, pucks hitting posts and booming of the goalie's pads, skates carving through the ice, it is all music to the ears of hockey fans.
Canadian hockey fans will get their first chance to see this super team hit the ice together tomorrow night at 8PM EST. Be sure to tune in to see who gets the early advantage in the tournament.
