World Cup: 4 Nations Tournament- Team USA (2025)

[bigdog16]

Morrissey didnt play last night for one. Theodore injured in the 1st period of the 1st game. Pietrangelo dropped out before the tournament. Makar missed a game due to illness. Thats Canada's top 4 defensemen. Stop complaining about injuries. You lost, doesnt matter why, you still lost.

Theodore,Pietrangelo,Morrisey. Just take the L and stop coping. You will get another shot in a years time it will be okay.

My point is Canada can gtfo with all the talk that they are head and shoulders better than everyone. Never seen a group with bigger inferiority complex. Canada got humbled this tournament

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Good, very close game that we didn't win. Hope for a better outcome at the Olympics. Roster needs to be tweaked and there might be some shocking names omitted.

 

[Revansky]

Really a big fan of USA defence as a canadian. Slavin is a beast.Maybe if Quinn was there it would have put your team over the top as Makar was a difference maker for us. Larkin was a really noticeable player too. Wish Jack Hughes was a bit more involve in the play. See you in the Olympics, where i think it would still be Canada and USA as favorites !

Fox is so overrated.

Hughes was a huge disappointment.

No idea why Kreider was here.. he is cooked.

Slavin is an absolute freaking stud.

Yes they did! They humbly skated away with the championship trophy.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Jesus that Canadian too many men was so egregious



Slavin

Just knew the refs wouldn't call it.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Play Hughes at center or don’t bring him at all because his game does not lend itself to that area. Hes not direct or good enough on the walls to contribute at this level at the wing.

I’d swap Nelson for Tuch, and one or two of Keller, Tage, Robo.

If I am being honest, this is a loss for Canada. Acting like they are head and shoulders the kings of the hockey world while losing and getting taken to OT by a USA team without Mcavoy Tkachuk and Quinn Hughes. Im not sure how you can actually celebrate this if you are Canada.

Had me until Quinn Hughes. He and Fox are basically the same player. No reason to believe he would have made a difference.

USA is on the rise and there's little reason to believe that the game even goes to overtime with a healthy Matthew Tkachuk.

 

[Beerz]

Tuch really frustrates me sometimes by the way he's plays on Buffalo but I think he would have been absolutely perfect for this team.

After listening to USA fans after winning Sat you are saying this?

Keep coping. This is a generational group of players for usa hockey and a generationally bad d and goaltending group for canada and the states still couldn't get it done.

 

[kanadalainen]

Now look at who was injured for Canada, including Crosby playing with one arm and Canadas best goalie not being there.

Morrissey was arguably the Canuck's #2D.

No one I know is thinking or saying the Canadians are way better than everyone. Quite the opposite, honestly. Having said that, a "humble" group is not the descriptor I would use.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Outside of Matthews and Tkachuk no american forwards showed up last night

 

[HeHateMeFrisbee]

Uh Dylan Larkin balled out...

Team USA also lost their last 2 games of the tournament on home ice, so nothing to write home about.

US probably sent a better team this time around.
But Canada left a lot of much better players at home.

 

[kanadalainen]

I'm glad they brought Doughty to the party.

Im a Rangers fan and Quinn Hughes is significantly better than Fox. He would have been USA’s counter to Makar

You were supposed to wax us 5-0 both games. Id be embarassed as a Canadian

Keep coping. This is a generational group of players for usa hockey and a generationally bad d and goaltending group for canada and the states still couldn't get it done.

Too bad we were missing 3 of those generational players. Even if Tkachuk played the remainder of the game it doesnt get to OT

No one I know is thinking or saying the Canadians are way better than everyone. Quite the opposite, honestly. Having said that, a "humble" group is not the descriptor I would use.

Canadians genuinely believe that nobody can compete with them, which was my initial point

Canada won lmao

Against a shorthanded team. Again my whole point was that Canada isn’t the mighty superpower they think they are

 

[AmericanDream]

Dylan Larkin has always understood this....though he did drop out last year lol...he has answered the call plenty

 

[kanadalainen]

Canadians genuinely believe that nobody can compete with them, which was my initial point

Sorry, we will simply disagree on your point. Any Canadian I spoke to yesterday (lets call it ~ 80 prime examples, mano a mano, respectible sampling for n) does/did not share this conviction.. so, figure it out.

This game was a knock-down drag-em-out between two closely matched opponents who were in the vernacular "going for a rip, eh".

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Keep coping. This is a generational group of players for usa hockey and a generationally bad d and goaltending group for canada and the states still couldn't get it done.

So a country whose national sport is hockey defeats a country where the sport is basically only for the affluent in a few pockets of that nation (and needs overtime to do it) and we're giddy?

 

[Fatass]

US team missed Quinn Hughes. Their D was good but they had no superstar like Makar.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

I cheered against us to lose this game.
