[Kojo]

2-1 usa

Unless it goes to OT I doubt that.

 

[TLeafsFan]

Cue up the pregame!

 

[Beau Knows]

Canada is clearly the better team. However, hockey is funny, in 1 game basically anything can happen.

Yeah that's why I like the 3 game final, although you have to make it there first.

 

[WesMcCauley]

I just dont see USA winning over Canada in an important game. Canadas lineup is unreal

 

[Clark4Ever]

​

If Canada loses, they should withdraw from the tournament.

Why? The U.S. team is stacked. They underachieved their last game and Torts is a questionable coach for a team of that calibre, but they can explode at any time.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

On paper I'd give it to Canada.. soon find out

 

[wonton15]

This will be a very physical game. Probably dirty too

Why is Abdelkader projected to be on the first line with Kane?

 

[flaneur]

Can see the game going either way. Hopefully the US won't go over the line and hurt anyone.

Lets go Canada!

truculence

Torts is coaching through a time portal, he's in 1985 right now

 

[JTD]

Backes and Abdelkader in the top 6? Byfuglien in a pairing with Erik Johnson? Wheeler on the 4th line? I'm rooting for the US to win obviously, but if they win with this lineup Torts has put together, he might as well go play the lottery after the game

 

[Frank Drebin]

Nothing but humble canadians on here I see.

We don't get to watch winning teams very much, bear with us.

 

[Master P]

We don't get to watch winning teams very much, bear with us.

I can understand that coming from a habs fan.

 

[AINEC*]

Take a knee, Torts.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

We don't get to watch winning teams very much, bear with us.

Could also say that at least we know how to be humble.

Did Team Canada say "It's Time"

Did Team Canada say "We are built to beat team USA"

Nope we shut up and play and let the chips fall.

 

[Scotty B]

Canada rightly so will come out hard and look to bury Team USA early. This will be a tough one to win for us (USA).

Looking forward to some physicality...

Au contraire...It'll be Yanks who comes out like gang busters trying to hit everything that moves, within the rules, trying to play on that precarious edge, without going over...

Paraphrasing Torts: This is Team USA's Championship game...

 

[JeremyTB]

What's the over/under on dirty hits by Kesler tonight?

 

[Festinator]

It's not even that I wanna beat the states at this point, screw the rivalry. I just wanna see torts humiliated.

 

[SidDidNothingWrong]

I would love to see a beating tonight, and then watch Torts' post-game interview. Please make it happen, Crosby and co. In all seriousness, US winning this game isn't unlikely. Canada just has to hold even until the desperation in the first period wears off.

Agreed. I actually haven't seen an American rooting for USA yet lol.

 

[Festinator]

Agreed. I actually haven't seen an American rooting for USA yet lol.

This world cup uniting canadians and americans to cheer for team NA and against Torts

 

[Mighty Makar]

If it comes to 100% skill, they win. 100% grit, we win. —T.J. Oshie

We have both, dummy.

 

[SorryForMyEnglish*]

Team Canada will let the Americans win tonight because NHL doesn't want Team USA out of the tournament.

 

[JeremyTB]

LOL Oshie

Why would Canada play 100% grit when they have all that skill? Are they going to brainwash Canada or something? Sounds like he is grasping at straws for any silver lining.

 

[General Zodd]

What anthem will be played first tonight? Aren't the Americans the "home" team?
