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

[Slot]

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

Lead team USA in scoring if I remember correctly

 

[Xokkeu]

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.

Dunno what you are talking about. We won the game tonight 38-14

 

[GongShowWilly]

US are barely a top 6 team is this tourney .... no surprise here , let's move on to a top team and beat them down
GO CANADA
maybe next one, US and Mexico can combine - team South-North America

 

[BruinsBtn]

He was named the best forward of that tournament.

Ignorance is bliss.

He suuuuuucked in the finals and semis, but he lit up Slovenia

 

[Xokkeu]

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

I remember in 2008 some people were saying Bogosian is better than Doughty because he's ripped and Doughty was fat. Guess what, Doughty was fat.....

 

[BruinsBtn]

Lead team USA in scoring if I remember correctly

How many in the semis and finals against real teams?

 

[Stad]

He suuuuuucked in the finals and semis, but he lit up Slovenia

Also lit up the Stanley Cup playoffs this past season as well.

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.

You're gonna love your team in a few years though. Exciting future for USA Hockey.

Hope you stick around for team NA.

 

[Frank Drebin]

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.

I think Price fell into the shinny atmosphere of the third period and lost a bit of focus. Not worried.

 

[General Zodd]

Proud of our guys. The better team won.

Bybee!

 

[Lovethiscity]

The better team won. Canadians doing all the bragging they can before NHL starts

 

[Hank Plank]

maybe next one, US and Mexico can combine - team South-North America

Heh, ever hear of NAFTA?

 

[Moose Head]

He suuuuuucked in the finals and semis, but he lit up Slovenia

.... He looked pretty good in the Stanley Cup finals. I care about who he was now, not two years ago.

the US team went scoreless in the last two games which means the last US player to score for them was Kessel vs the Czechs

 

[sharks9]

They weren't playing Slovenia

You still haven't explained why Phil Kessel is solely to blame for those losses.

Why didn't the US cut Patrick Kane? Pavelski? Oshie? None of them did **** against Canada in Sochi and they're still on the team.

Why should Kessel take 100% of the blame?

 

[TLeafsFan]

Also lit up the Stanley Cup playoffs this past season as well.

Good thing because he certainly wasn't earning his contract beforehand last season.

 

[Leafs87]

I find it funny how Burke drafts Ryan 2nd overall and sells the farm for kessel yet neither made the national team and he even went so far as to question one of those players intensity

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Canada just too good. It's good to be the King.

 

[Kranix]

Should have brought Tyler Johnson.

Don't sell out the Czechs so quick. There's still a game to be played.

 

[sharks9]

Don't you understand?! Even though he only played 30% of those games while sharing the ice with 4 other players, he deserves 100% of the blame!

 

[Preisst*]

I'm proud of the USA team for not resorting to cheap dirty plays in an attempt to injure our players. Hooray!!!!!

 

[kingsfan28]

When, in two years?

 

[ChickenMcNugget]

feel really bad for the US but the roster really was questionable with the absence of kessel, faulk and others.

I think Price fell into the shinny atmosphere of the third period and lost a bit of focus. Not worried.

SV% 968 after 2 games while facing 63 shots... The only 2 goals he allowed was score by his own player(Thortnon)and once he was interfere by Vlasic. Nothing he can do on those goals.....
