A chance to unplug after a busy NHL season, the conversation, of course, veered towards hockey.Attached at the hip each summer back home in Nova Scotia, the superstar duo — Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins and MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche — have only played meaningful games on the same side once in their careers.
The event slated for Montreal and Boston will feature six round-robin contests followed by a championship game. "A couple of times there we felt like it might and it didn't," Crosby said of NHL players having the international rug pulled out from under them."But I think there's a little bit more confidence with this. The fact that we know a little further out, it's something that you can talk about, you can plan, you can prep.
The U.S contingent is headlined by Toronto Maple Leafs centre Auston Matthews, Vancouver Canucks defenceman Quinn Hughes, Vegas Golden Knights forward Jake Eichel and Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk. New York Rangers blueliner Adam Fox and Boston counterpart Charlie McAvoy are also in the mix.
