[Kudo Shinichi]

oh they are chanting 'carey'... i thought they were chanting 'perry' for that hit on kane

i doubt any fans would want to chant "Perry"

 

[Mitts]

sweet mitts, kid said yes at the worlds and got his foot in the door

You called.

 

[IDuck]

Muricans should replace Quick with a trash can, which would block at least the shots right at it.

dumb post...Im a ducks fans and HATE quick...NONE...ZERO..of those goals are on him.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

I don't get why Quick wasn't pulled, nor do I understand why he got the start. He has been absolutely BRUTAL at the international level. It's clear he has difficulty on the international stage. You have another superstar goaltender on the bench with big game experience. Put him in net. USA isn't winning with Quick.

What the ****...he was the only reason Canada didn't blow us out in Sochi.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I get that everyone hates Torts.
But didn't Burke + Lombardi give him the team?

he's playing with the players he's got. It's not like he's got the BEST team possible and making stupid mistakes.

True. Some bad roster choices and a bad coaching choice to boot.

The silver lining of this as an american is Torts losing. I can't believe he has a job in the NHL.

 

[winnipegger]

Maybe it's not the Americans that are bad, but it's just that this generation of Canadian players is too good? seriously...Getzlaf is a depth player and Giroux is a healthy scratch lol

Now on defense for the US.

 

[The Stig]

Rattled.

Hey, if he wants to watch Quick get lit up like a Christmas tree, and call him good, thats his deal.

 

[pierre gagnon*]

good thing kesler and abdelkader woke up canada, sometimes that works in reverse

 

[lakai17]

Built to beat team canada's 2nd team of leftovers?

Tbh they should all be getting the boot. And they're the ones who hired Torts and assembled this Torts-style roster.

Plus I have to imagine that Dubinsky was a Torts pick 100%.

 

[Warden of the North]

I guess the Americans arent giving all their grit?

 

[JT Kreider]

Maybe it's not the Americans that are bad, but it's just that this generation of Canadian players is too good? seriously...Getzlaf is a depth player and Giroux is a healthy scratch lol

And they're without 2 of their 3 best players in Seguin and Benn.

 

[ClydeLee]

I thought they were chanting to put in Schinder

 

[SullivanT]

Kesler with more saves then quick so far

 

[Del Preston]

Does anyone have a list of Team USA's management team? I'm curious to see who put this squad together.

 

[BHD]

The US are inept at exiting their zone.

 

[TLeafsFan]

- Built to beat Team Canada

- Starts Jonathan Quick

Pick one.

Scratches Schneids....

 

[Preisst*]

Canada dominating.

 

[Incognito]

Kesler trying to trash talk Crosby. How sad

 

[ijuka]

dumb post...Im a ducks fans and HATE quick...NONE...ZERO..of those goals are on him.

But he didn't make world class saves on them. "None of them are his fault" just isn't enough.

 

[Daximus]

Hey look Kesler was just asking Crosby how to play hockey.

 

[Stjonnypopo]

lol the ref telling Kesler to cool it

 

[Liferleafer]

Isn't team like all centers? Pretty sure they are.

Only 2 natural wingers....

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Can we take a moment and talk about how calm Crosby is despite Kesler and Abdelkader cross checking him repeatedly?
