Players not invited to participate in the World Cup are getting ready for NHL training camps, but they're definitely still watching the tournament.

Case in point: Several took to Twitter on Wednesday following a ridiculously entertaining three-on-three overtime period between North America and Sweden that was capped by a beautiful goal by Nathan MacKinnon.

Here's a sampling of the reaction.

Calvin Pickard was especially impressed by the winning goal by his Colorado Avalanche teammate.

Even NHL legends were impressed.
