PGT: 9/20 - Canada vs USA - Canada 4 United States 2 FINAL - USA ELIMINATED

[Ezekial]

not hearing that arrogant "USA! USA! USA!" chant feels good.

Yeah, USA the only nation with any semblance of pride.


Nothing classier than a "nah nah nah" chant though. I'm not much of a patriot, but every nation cheers for themselves.

 

[Splatter]

and when it's all said and done, two of the USA's greatest players are just bashing the team (with the truth)

 

[kingsfan28]

Did the team quit on Torts in just two games?

 

[Leafidelity]

Phil is the greatest

 

[Frank the Tank]

I thought the USA looked good overall. They were prepared but the first goal was a bad break and the Quick blew it.

Blaming this on Quick is silly. Byfuglien missing his coverage assignments was cause of two goals against.

 

[PennDanzig]

I think this finally answers the age old question of, "Who dem Boyz?" Canada. Canada dem boyz.

 

[PullHard]

I wish it was a better game

Can't even get excited about winning that one

 

[DoktorZaius]

Working out? Learning to win a puck battle?

A few months ago the guy was inches away from a Conn Smythe.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Canadian fans acting like they're new to Canadians being good at hockey

And there you are, sharing their playing field...

 

[flaneur]

is this real?

such a troll

 

[MXD]

Did the team quit on Torts in just two games?

Was it two games or two minutes?

 

[Chris Hagen*]

Canada tried for ten minutes and destroyed them. Rofl.

 

[Matt24]

That Kessel tweet is legit one of the best tweets I have ever seen.

It never seemed to me that the players knew what their roles were and looked more confused and frustrated. The lines seemed to change from practice to game, Byfuglien was like a square peg in a round hole. All this talk about grit and you never really saw any. They may not have quit on purpose, but yeah, I think so.

 

[MXD]

A few months ago the guy was inches away from a Conn Smythe.

...And should probably have won it actually.

 

[Moose Head]

Working out? Learning to win a puck battle?

... Being a Stanley cup winners leading playoff scorer.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Cheers to the Americans. I don't think that's their best team they could have went with. You guys are our biggest rival and the games are always great to watch. I have nothing but respect for the United States of America.

Cheers!

 

[Hurt]

There's more than enough arrogance in this thread to make up for it though, so that's good.

The better team won the game. America didn't come to win the tournament, they came to beat Canada and they didn't accomplish that. Too much skill all the way down Canada's lineup.

 

[ohcomeonref]

I'm shamed to be a Canadian with some comments that have flown in the GDT and here. Happy to see Canada progress but sorry to see the US out.

 

[John Agar]

Phil...

If you should ever get an injury and never play again...

You could make it as a Comedian.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

US will be fine, just keep that blowhard idiot, Tortorella away from those guys. Probably the worst coach ever to win a cup.

Have you ever heard of Jean Perron ?

 

[BruinsBtn]

Blaming this on Quick is silly. Byfuglien missing his coverage assignments was cause of two goals against.

Meh. If no one missed coverage, you wouldn't need a goalie. On the first goal, Buff is in the right spot, just a tough bounce.

 

[KGL]

Oh my God Phil Kessel just ****ing roasted Team USA. Priceless.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Oh my...

 

[EveryDay]

Why is Jbo the 2nd most use player tonight????
