*QUICK NOTE ABOUT RYAN'S AUDIO! WE WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR IT NOT BEING SO GREAT!*

The Four Nations Championship is delivering chaos, and we’re here for it. Ryan, Chris, and James preview the epic USA vs. Canada rematch, the three fights in nine seconds madness from Round 1, and why this tournament is just be better than the All-Star Game.

We also dive into how Stars players have fared on the international stage—Granlund is thriving, Hintz… not so much, and Thomas Harley went from vacation mode to Team Canada in record time. Plus, we, once again, break down the Dallas Stars trade rumors—should Jim Nill go after Seth Jones or Brock Nelson? Does Rantanen to Dallas make any sense?

Oh, and we somehow ended up ranking our top three crops. (Yes, you read that right.) Stick around for another classic Who Cares? segment.

The NHL finally got it right! The 4 Nations Tournament is off to an electric start, and we break down the instant classic between Canada and Sweden. From Crosby’s ridiculous assists to Sweden proving they belong, we dive into all the biggest storylines, including the future of international hockey and why this might be the best thing to happen to the NHL in years.

🔹 Can the 4 Nations Tournament become a permanent fixture?
🔹 Who’s winning it all—USA, Canada, Finland, or Sweden?
🔹 Should the Stars make a major deadline splash?
🔹 Is Noah Dobson worth the price tag?

• The Dumba Dilemma: Time to bench him?
• The Petrovic Question: Is he the defensive fix we need?
• Advanced stats vs. the eye test—were the Stars better than they looked?
