GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 12 • Group A: CAN (3) - USA (4) F/SO

[Canada4Gold]

4-3 USA. Expecting them to rebound from yesterday, I think they're a slightly better team.

Probably should pick 4-2 USA given I've been 1 goal off on Canada's total in both the first 2 games

I hope this is a disaster of a game.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Carter Hart may win this for Canada in a close one. I'd go with 3-2 Canada with Hart showcase of talent.

 

[Statsy]

Imagine if this crowd isn't the biggest WJC single game crowd

Ouch! That would suuuuck.

 

[1967th Heaven]

Those jerseys are hideous

 

[Chainshot]

Hate those jerseys still.

 

[SI90]

USA jerseys way too baggy. Like the football style but they should have made them more fit.

 

[Captain Bowie]

3-1 Canada. Gonna say conditions make it harder to score than usual. Lots of bad bounces and passes missing the mark.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Wish this was indoors. Would be a better on-ice product.

[Statsy]

Man, those jerseys.

 

[Adonis Creed]

Look quite hot compared to -29 celcius we have in Quebec right now

 

[SladeWilson23]

@ the jerseys

 

[Snippit]

Looks empty cause the place is so big

 

[SniperHF]

I like that view they just showed from the nose bleeds. Would be better off watching on a tablet or your phone up there

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Those jerseys are hideous

But represents a great winning tradition

Missed that but interesting to hear that confirmed.. was it on US or Canadian TV?

To put things in perspective, looking at the last 6 years - out of Russia, Finland, Sweden, US and Canada, Canada has performed (arguably) the worst if you count medals. That's not really fair to say generally speaking but I find too many of us here in Canada take their team to be for sure the best. Then again, most that are super sure of that don't watch much hockey.

Looking forward to this one!

It was on Canadian tv. I agree with the points that the USA having 10 times the population Canada does it's a statistical given that they can produce 23 equally skilled players in any given year. They touched on a lot of non hockey markets where the game is becoming more popular which is great for the on ice product for us fans to watch.

Having said that, the last 6 years are hard to use as examples of Canada's "downfall" with regards to our talent development etc. During those 6 years we've seen a LOT of big name kids left off the team due to questionable roster selection choices (Monaghan, Couture, Konecny the year before he actually made the team) and those are just off the top of my head players from the 67s alone. Couple that with a couple years of coaching (Spott and Lowry) in which those two guys would have been fired from a peewee AAA program mid season with the ineptness they showed and it's resulted in some bleak years for team Canada

 

[Muston Atthews]

We’re gonna do anthems before game and for the winner?

 

[OilerPensfan97]

They need to hurry up with all the pre-game stuff before it starts snowing too hard.

 

[EastonBlues22]

Modeled after the Buffalo Bills?

Yeah, that's good karma.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Since when do they do anthems before games in international games?

 

[Captain Bowie]

What do the jerseys look like? Stuck at work.

 

[DrMuffinStuffin]

This guy is kinda rushing through the Canadian anthem no?

 

[North Cole]

Is the states out if they lose, havin lost to sløv?
