GDT: 9/20 - Canada vs. USA - 8 PM ET

[50 in 07]

On the bright side, USA has quadruple the number of hits!

 

[Soundwave]

Somewhere Phil Kessel is enjoying a hot dog.

 

[Che vy Teemuchuk]

Moar Abdelkadr hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Xokkeu]

So they intentionally not select their best centre....

That's the joke.

 

[JT Kreider]

USA also has Bishop who has been to the Conference Finals and SCF the last two years, who is a Vezina finalist himself and Schneider. USA has the best overall goaltending in the tournament in terms of depth.

Price>Holtby>Schneider>Bishop

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Need to take out Price.

 

[Steven1562]

Montreal fans scared there.

 

[Stjonnypopo]

Abdelkader doing his best Kreider impression

 

[Seachd]

Imagine having two top 5 goalies in Bishop and Schneider and starting Quick in a best on best tourney? Madness from Torts and co.

I don't see how they would have necessarily been better options.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Abdelkader, this isn't the NHL. Nice try.

 

[Incognito]

Abdelkader is such a pathetic excuse for a hockey player. Why is he here again? Surely the US had better options.

 

[SullivanT]

Didn't even try to stop

 

[Daximus]

Man Abdelkaddder sucks hahaha

 

[missingchicklet]

this, USA hockey is stronger than ever. Just some old obsessive mentality by your admins. Just need new admins and a fresh mentality.

P.S To be fair , team NA is affecting the US way more than Canada. ( Gaudreau,eichel,matthews,)

So much truth in this post

 

[Del Preston]

****ing idiots. Burke is part of the management so obviously USA is out hitting Canada. Lombardi is the GM...I just want to know whose brilliant idea it was to have Torts coach the team.

It's kind of sad for USA but Ron Wilson has been their best coach in the last decade or so. Vancouver was their best performance.

Thank you. I found the rest of the group:

Dean Lombardi, General Manager
Paul Holmgren, Assistant General Manager
Brian Burke, Senior Advisor
Jim Johannson, Hockey Operations
John Tortorella, Head Coach
Mike Sullivan, Assistant Coach
John Hynes, Assistant Coach
Phil Housley, Assistant Coach
Jack Capuano, Assistant Coach
Scott Gordon, Assistant Coach

 

[pierre gagnon*]

abdelkader and kessel bringing the 70s hockey back, little skill all dirt

 

[Il Stugotz]

Lol at that petty Abdelkader crap in this game

 

[Confucius]

Anybody know why the US didn't select any defensemen? Jesus Christ their D is pathetic.

That team was selected to beat Canada, or so they said...

 

[New User Name]

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

One is our (Leafs) former GM Brian Burke who picked Tyler Biggs when Brandon Saad was available.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I guess the US being dominated inside their own zone is also on who's in net?

I feel embarrassed for many you who don't know a lick about playing a team sport. This US squad isn't playing like a cohesive unit, and they're all embarrassing the emblem on their uniforms.

 

[John Agar]

Dumb penalty...

Tortellini brain settling into the US team...

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

And now Abdelkeder took a dumb penalty...
You could have had Tyler Johnson, Phill Kessel taking those penalties

 

[KCC]

Abdelkader tried and failed. The refs are well aware of his antics in the NHL.

 

[ijuka]

Abdelkader with an injury attempt on Carey Price what a joke player.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Need to take out Price.

All class.
