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

[Moose Head]

I

Have you ever heard of Jean Perron ?

Exorcised him from my memory. Torts claim to fame: 'I'm a better coach than Jean Perron!'

 

[Rebuilt]

The United States does not have the talent to compete with the Canadian team so they have to outwork them, out hustle them etc.....

If you look at the stats, the US did come to play but so did Canada. This was the difference. If Canada was off or got unlucky, the US can beat them.

Guess the hand is all better then, Kessel?

 

[Chris Hagen*]

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

Because the game was never really in doubt?

 

[sharks9]

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Holy ****, tweet of the year from Kessel. What a guy! The Americans are morons for not having him on the team.

 

[BruinsBtn]

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

Had his chance in Sochi vs Canada. Lost every puck battle and turned it over on the PP.

 

[AINEC*]

Kessel the GOAT

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

To be honest I don't understand the big commotion.

Canada was amazing but they really only scored with 3 bounces.

Also, America hit like 4/5 posts.

A small change in things and the score could be the opposite. IMO, Price must be better, he's looked really shaky and he normally plays shaky in high pressure games so look for that should the Canadian defense lose their ground just a little.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Torts can now sit on his couch while anthems play.

Is he joining you?

 

[JaegerDice]

This deployment has Q's fingerprints all over it.

Didn't he lead team USA in scoring in Sochi? You'd think they could use his scoring in a tournament where they've only scored 1 goal, with their second coming from Canada scoring on themselves.

probably head to the store and get a couple of pints of rocky road, to work on that physique.

But they might want to start next time with making sure they potentially have the talent and scoring depth to do so first. Then support it with some grit.

He was named the best forward of that tournament.

Ignorance is bliss.

 

[Hank Plank]

Did the team quit on Torts in just two games?

Yes.

I hear ice cream tastes great in a cup

 

[JaegerDice]

Not quite a Sochi level slaughter, but this was still a Red Wedding.

Ignorance is bliss.

Leading scorer too

LOL Price was amazing and far from shaky....Coming from a Sens fan.

He lead them in scoring and was named the tournaments top forward lmao.

I never touched on the coaching or management. Yes, that was not stellar. But regardless, we dont have the talent to compete with Canada. Nobody does. They have to hope they get lucky or Canada screws up. It happens but if they show up, they win.

Only because Canada started to ease up. Can't look at those plays/posts in isolation.

Canada played well and got the bounces, they'll go on to win the tourney.


Go gimmick teams!

They weren't playing Slovenia
