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

[EastonBlues22]

USA wins the shootout, but have to think that Canada wins the day. They locked up the group pending a win against Denmark.

Still, nice for the USA to get a moral victory after the clunker against Slovakia.

Doesn’t matter. Canada still wins the group thanks to the OT loss point. But that’s still super embarrassing.

 

[Mobiandi]

This Canada team looks extremely average this year

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

GG USA played better for sure. Ugly game.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Sure, why not?

I dont think it should count

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Hart is very undeserving of player of the game

 

[tobu]

When Slovaks celebrated their win last night, someone in these boards hinted at a small team mentality. Well, USA celebrated just as much today. It's absolutely fine, it's emotion.

Canada is going to need some teams to shit the bed to win this tourny, looked bad. Shootout was awful, goalie didn't make a save and the players went 0/4 lol.

 

[Thebesthockey]

HART sucks again

 

[4thlineduster]

This loss is squarely on the shoulders of that complete doorknob Comtois.

Contributes nothing to this team but certainly hurts it....

 

[Melrose Munch]

Canada has been thinning at talent for years. US can be a better hockey country in 10-15 yeasr @2525

 

[Critical13]

Canada drowned themselves with stupid penalties

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

USA was the better team. What a comeback. What a game.

 

[le_sean]

LOL couldn't beat a US team that played only 16 hours after their last game ended.

LOL can only beat us in U20 tournaments.

 

[sandysan]

Win or lose don't like the shootout but we lost. Good game USA. I don't mind losing this one as it should serve as a kick in the pants.

Bad hockey but entertaining typical for the world Juniors.

 

[Pi]

Welp. It sucks to lose in a shootout but it's just a round robin game. Win the gold.

 

[LemonSauceD]

thats so f***ing dumb

 

[Gert B Frobe]

Those Yanks sure can do the shootout!

yanks yanks yanks ...

 

[Hagstrom]

Wow, what a shootout

 

[francis246]

Why are we putting a guy who never scored in a shootout in when we need a goal? Horrible selections for Canada's shooters

do you really think the coach has the stats at that second? he probably goes off who has done it best in practice

 

[dm1371]

Team USA deserved that win they fought till the end and adapted their play well all through the game.

 

[ffh]

Hart picking up this year where he left off last year in the shootout.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

I dont think it should count

Oh well, too bad for you.

 

[mel]

Entertaining game for sure, congrats to the Americans

It was fun. I look forward to seeing them play indoors next time.

Only way you can make the shootout more of a joke is when the ice is in that condition (not saying that out of bitterness, just objectively true no matter how it ended).

I get why there’s emotion on both sides, but the game was basically meaningless once it reached OT and it ended in a gimmick. Doesn’t matter, onto the next one.
