[Alwalys]

wow. ouch.

 

[Claude28Giroux]

pebbles!!!

 

[Macman]

Canadian refs screw USA.

Those Canadian refs called it a goal.

 

[General Zodd]

Kind of feeling sorry for the US (except for Torts lol) . Just **** luck and bad bounces out there. But they do look like crap...

 

[FinRuutu]

Eu-ro-pe!

 

[flaneur]

i see some mild panic in the eyes of the Americans.

 

[Longbow]

Speaking as a pro-nation-state anti-EU sort of person, nothing wrong with the concept of Team Europe, but any perceived relation to the European Union as the political entity or Ode to Joy or any of that should be none nada zilch. There's no National Association of Hockey of EU or anything running a national team; as far as international hockey is concerned, the EU is an absolute non-entity.

Nothing here upsets me, as with the current climate it would be counter-productive if there were any perceived ties - and as you pointed out, it just would not make any sense. I just know that if I was called up, I would take great personal pride in it due to my own political views

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Remember when Team EU and NA weren't gonna put their heart into it because they're not playing for their own country? LMAO

They didn't put all their efforts tonight.......)

 

[JT Kreider]

Kane is nothing without Toews.

 

[Divine]

USA has to beat Canada AND Europe has to lose to the Czech's for the USA to advance if they lose this game.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Lol those blaming Quick please exist

I don't blame Quick for the second goal and I missed the first. This goal though I do blame him for. Still, Team USA is playing like crap.

 

[Obviously]

Kane has treated this game like his own little stick and puck session. Way too many failed attempts at being fancy

 

[King Weber]

loving this right now

 

[TLeafsFan]

Wasn't JVR already on a line with Kane? Like...from the beginning? JVR-Stepan-Kane.

Yeah but he didn't start there. Healthy scratch in the first game against Canada.

I must admit though, this is the first game I've focused on team USA.

 

[winnipegger]

Quick rocking a .666 save %

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Lol those blaming Quick please exist

I'm sure Bishop or Schneider would've stopped the 2-on-0 and 2-on-1 and redirect goals and would've also chipped in offensively.

 

[flyersfan018]

Pathetic effort so far. Loved seeing PEB score though. No one more deserving than him.

 

[Sempiternal]

lol @ the USA blame game

 

[Morgen]

0:3 wow...I didnt expect that but well Europe team just work harder. Well deserved.

 

[kducks]

Lol those blaming Quick please exist

We already exist?

On a positive note. How fitting is Team Europe's goal son "Seven nation army" considering there are players from exactly seven different countries.

edit: I guess I counted wrong its actually eight countries but still a fitting song!

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Hopefully, Canada is watching and knows not to underestimate the Czechs.

 

[weastern bias]

I ****ing hate Jonathan Quick

Dude is legit trash in international competition

 

[Uncle Bill]

Taking Buff out was a bozo move. Torts is the worst coach in the NHL. His poor coaching is Team USAs greatest weakness.
