[CaptnNemo]

Forgot about him.

He looks like he's 45 loll

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Getting goalie'd and we have some passengers up front.

Salt & Vinegar vs ketchup

Ryan Gosling is Canadian though

 

[salbutera]

Can this country really not do better than Binnington???

Remember when Price winning WJC, multiple Olympics was “ahh he was carried by an All Star team”?

Good times..

As a fan of the "other side" I can't understand no Cole or Suzuki for the Canadian side.

 

[SOLR]

We'll see. He's playing on a bad Chicago team. I'm not sure he couldn't keep up with our big dogs, unlike Reinhart.

Advanced stats are clear that Bedard is not winning a lot of 1 on 1 battles in the NHL, I don't think Bedard would even be competitive with guys like Suzuki, Thomas etc. who are in their prime.

Celebrini is in the top 5 in the league as a rookie...this is the kind of stupid I'm talking about. Johnston is top 50, if not top 20. Stop looking at the age. Turnover power = the biggest power.

And well against the US you don't need a defensive 4th line, it's like you don't want your depth.

Celebrini - McDavid - Johnston
Crosby - Point - Marner
Suzuki - Mackinnon - Stone
Marchand - Bennett - Hagel

And here we go Crosby with Mcdavid and Stone.

USA's defence is unreal we are getting clamped

 

[Whitesnake]

The concept of team is higher with the US. Canada has a bunch of great solo artists.

I don’t understand what MacKinnon does other than skate fast

 

[Kimota]

McKonnen and McDavid should stop doing the "tourniquet".

Team USA game is all about physicality & defense first - neither is Caufields strength

Suzuki is a bull & is tough along the boards. He goes to the net all the time. You guys are nuts. Kid is a young J.T. Miller without the attitude.

Idk. I always felt Danault made him look good by taking the tougher assignment and it helped Suzuki build his clutch reputation.

I'm not trying to knock on him but Team Canada got so many gamers and they aren't doing anything. The level of play is so high that I don't know if he could crack the roster.

Canada's passing is off tonight. Credits to USA defence but still it's not good

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Guentzel had an open net & missed thank God.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Gotta find a way to hit MacKinnon at full stride. Marner slows down the play too much.

Its not over yet.

Cole is American.

Parayko is normally a beast but horrendous in this tourney

Danault and his massive 4 point contribution? Someone had to score.

disagree, Caufield has turned into a good 2-way player

 

[Maliki2]

Cole is American.

That's my point. I'm the "Other side" lol

Too much icetime for him because of injuries

I love Caufield buf I think he would get owned tonight.
