Most of the American posters will now cheer for anyone but Canada

Sort of like the rest of the world against the U.S.?

Well that was a given anyway, that is a given for any of the countries fans . It does not matter what some Canadian fans do or say here because they are gonna cheer against them anyway.

But who cares? we have a game to win tonight and that is all that matters.

 

[antiqueslivers]

Gotta give a nod US's ballsy move at the end to try and get back in to the game. No shame at all in losing to Sweden.

 

[timmeh]

Just watched the slash again. Sure that slash might’ve hurt. But there is no way it hurts need-help-standing-up-bad. That kind of slash happens all the time during games. Was unnecessary though.

The best team won
Thats it

as for an arena and 3/4 empty seats ?

a real joke !

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

The irony in you not understanding is delecious

What am I not understanding? You paint all Americans with the same brush and call them out for "generalizing". LOL

 

[New User Name]

You've got that whole generalization thing down, huh?

Yes I do, it's the American in me. I'm a dual

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Still can't comprehend how Woll was gifted all these games over Oettinger.

 

[Merya]

It is sour grapes... you just confirmed it... your team is out therefore you wish to stick a fork in us....

I really don't understand your view. You could call it sour grapes if Canada had eliminated Finland, perhaps. At the current situation I don't even see the grapes. More like sweet for Czech underdogs!

I wish they would give Tampa a chance to host it. I know its not a traditional hockey market but they draw good crowds for the frozen 4. I'm sure they can do better than Buffalo.

 

[Zip15]

Uhm, do you want to get into comparing historical records? Even since 90s when the NHL started putting all of its resources into growing the game in the States?

USA putting "all of its resources" into hockey?! Wut?

Maybe you did congratulate them but a guy who goes on about how much he would like to beat canada in a gold medal game again in a game that country didn't play in suggests you still are not processing this loss very well.

after all..................Canada was nowhere to be found in this game were they?
.

Yet here you are, talking trash to Americans.

Cause he's better

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Sort of like the rest of the world against the U.S.?

The Jets are the best Canadian team and it's filled with American players.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Really? So the MVP is a player who is is entirely inconsistent the entire tournament?

There are better MVP picks here than Nylander. Andersson with a busted shoulder for two games showed better and more consistent play than Nylander all tournament.

Again, how exactly has Nylander been inconsistent? He has produced more consistently (game-to-game) than any other Swedish player. He was throwing hits in the D zone today and his hands are world class for this age group.

Andersson was a slug against Slovakia and basically took himself out of the running with that performance. Until then he would have been a worthy #2.

 

[Toe Pick]

I bleed red white and blue but Sweden wanted this one more. Impressive effort right through their lineup.

Congrats and best of luck in the gold medal game.

I havent trash talked Americans here at all though if I see an unrelated to this game comment about Canada I have been known to comment on that. I am only concerned with one thing and that is Canadas game tonight.

I actually would have preferred another U.S-Canada final. The game did not go the way i wanted it to go today here.

I like bad Pinot Noir... so underdogs it is...

The post clearly says the NHL started putting all its resources...

I'd love to see it in Tampa and many will disagree with me here but Vegas would be a great choice too.

Now it's my turn to cry "generalizing"

Comtois and Steel are on Canada so...i know you said most but it's a pretty weak assumption.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

You sure about that? Because Woll lost to Slovakia, gave up 4 goals against Finland and Sweden and has had worse NCAA performance the past two seasons.

 

[21]

USA owned about 2/3 of the game but Gustavsson was amazing and we (Sweden) capitalized on almost all our chances, super efficient.

 

[New User Name]

I'll generalize again here. The Canadian players would have preferred the US to win, as would the Canadian fans of the junior tournament.

No...

We don't care...

We only care about giving our best effort tonight...

We will worry about the final if we win tonight...

Sweden were the superior team for the first two periods. Woll saved their asses there. To say Sweden capitalized on all chances would be wrong.
Then the third period came and getting 6 minors in a single period kind of tells you the story about how such a period goes in terms of momentum.
