I’m curious what word you decided to use to switch up Canada’s name

I am guessing if you see him next Tuesday you'll know. I'm also guessing mom would be very upset if she saw what he was writing online.

Hostile? No one is threating anyone or calling anyone something, no one is yelling, it's just the usual bickering during a gold medal game.

I think you can thank the mods for that. There have been some really nasty posts on here.

 

[McClelland]

The refs doesnt blow both ways! Elias and Lias got wrestled down ,and nothing. Sweden plays them selves to chances, Canada get chances from bad turnovers and bounces, had 2 good minutes ending the period. Only refs and Hart can save Canada in the third !

 

[The Kessel Run]

Honestly what do you expect. HF is petty. WE ARE BETTER THAN YOU CAUSE!

I was expecting more passive aggressive shows of superiority. It's just straight up personal fury!

 

[SullivanT]

Gotta laugh at everyone saying that was a dive come on He stuck out his leg and took out the Canadian players legs.
I didn't get to watch the US Swede game yesterday only got to read the thread and all I head was the US were diving and you k ow what I believed it. Now watching this game and seeing people complain about diving on blatant penalties not sure I believe that anymore.

You making yourself look foolish.

 

[nucks88]

Honest question. How many beers deep are you guys? Im at #5!!!!!!

4 but they are Steamworks Flagship IPAs at 6.7 so there's that..

Shoot out is not the way to finish this game.

I really hope that it does not happen.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Let's go boys

 

[EscapedGoat]

Ok, watching the replay from another angle, it was a penalty on Dahlin, I thought he was stationary, but he moved back a bit.

Good on you for watching a replay and changing your mind. Most people on here just double down and start getting mad instead of admitting they saw it wrong the first time. Kudos.

 

[Willy Stylez]

Lets gooo!

 

[Cotton]

Precious how Leafs fans dislike Makar. Can't have anything to do with him outplaying Liljegren this tournament, can it?

We do? This is news to me, I like him just fine, but thanks for speaking for all of us.

Man, the colour of the sky in your world must be something else.

Someone said earlier "it's tough being awesome". Is that the reason for the flying Northern Americans? They just so fast they accelerate through the air from tiny touches?

I really don't see any biased reffing or even rule-breaking here but some soccer-like maneuvres... and I'm just wondering what is this?

/edit typo

Good job turning something that has nothing to do with Leafs fans, beyond what you’ve conjured up, into an opportunity to bash Leafs fans and their prospect.

If you're not one of the Leafs fans I'm referring to then this shouldn't bother you. I spoke solely to those making posts about Dahlin not looking good. I made that pretty clear in my post.

If you are one of the posters that said Dahlin looked bad and my post did refer to you, then the alternative is you're a terrible evaluator of hockey performance.

 

[TimeZone]

Yes, you usually have one of your skates behind you when you take a stride towards the boards. Didn't he even clear the puck, or did he miss it? Dahlin was stationary, the Canadian could've passed him, but of course it's nicer to flop. Even if he did fail to skate by him, how is it's Dahlin's fault he failed to skate by him?

Dahlin stuck his foot out to trip the Canadian forechecker....this is not rocket science.

 

[Rob]

Please. I don’t mind losing to Sweden. Just not another shootout!

 

[caslava]

He missed about 6 weeks with a torn meniscus in his knee and had only played 11 games. You don't think an injury like that and missing the start of the year hasn't had an impact on him?

Oh I wouldn’t doubt that it had an impact. But still I’m looking at comparable players and see that he was selected too high. Look at the players selected after him. I mean he seems to have the making of an energy 3rd of 4th liner. Furthermore look at players playing on second and 3rd lines on there respective teams and they still out score him by a ways. Some even undrafted.

 

[Tralfamadore]

#4 pick is outplaying #17 pick. Ya don’t say

Please your fan base has been trying to discredit Makar since draft day. You guys can’t just have a decent offensive d man prospect he’s gotta be the best of the draft. I felt embarrassed for you guys during the summer showcase constantly pumping up Lilly and discrediting Makar.

 

[Siddi]

And for those complaining about Dahlin being ugly, that's because he was smart and put all his ability points into strength, endurance, dexterity, wisdom and intelligence. Charisma is a dump stat in hockey.

It worked for Lundqvist

 

[Yarborough]

I wish these games didn’t have shootouts. 3 on 3 OT is the way to go.

Should be

3 on 3
2 on 2
1 on 1

 

[21]

Terrible PK, we didn't score.

 

[TimeZone]

Canada picked a hell of a time for their PP to go cold.

 

[Snuuzi]

So Sweden should be gifted like 3 powerplays now for this game to be on equal terms? Next time we score on PK someone needs to give the ref from finland a big smile

 

[snipes]

Looked like the Oilers PP there

 

[nucks88]

I wish these games didn’t have shootouts. 3 on 3 OT is the way to go.

Should be

3 on 3
2 on 2
1 on 1

Then goalie on goalie?
