[5 14 6 1]

Makar changes the whole dynamic of the 1st line.

Don't undersell Point either

 

[karhukissa]

McDavid is incredible. I think they'll win this whole tournament.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Hmmmm. But you didn’t say no to the ozempic commercials…..

 

[NyQuil]

8 shots against with more than half of the game gone.

 

[RedRocking]

Crosby should go to the Avs. Would be nice to see him in meaningful games

 

[Tuoppi]

USA and Canada are just so stacked. These are better than any NHL teams. I think we'd do well against other national teams and NHL teams. I hope we get our best defencemen for the olympics, one goalie plays in godmode and the young guys keep improving.

 

[Sheppy]

Other than the OT goal Marner doesn't look engaged at all. Not sure he's a guy I'd like to go to war with. Seems everyone else is ready and willing to get their hands dirty.

Marner is a hell of a talent, but yeah, just what i'm observing.

Makar is just incredible to watch.

It’s fun to cheer for him and MacKinnon

Definitely my two favorite non Oilers in the league, just a treat to watch them play.

 

[boltsfan86]

When Makar McDavid and Point are out together it almost looks like the Finns can't even skate with them which is crazy at this level of hockey

 

[HockeyVirus]

thought that goal could be catalyst for some change

That and 6 months playing Berube hockey where he looked very comfortable. I thought maybe he would be able to be a factor. Still 1.5 games left I suppose..

If he's not in the top 6 not sure he needs a spot.

 

[Half Clapper]

Canada is a different team with Makar back in. He is arguably their best player.

 

[Toby91ca]

Finnish goaltending has taken a big step back from the days of Rask, Rinne and Kiprusoff.

I don’t think their goaltending has been a problem at all today

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

McDavid is just such a cheat code

 

[BullLund]

Finland did just enough in this tournament to screw Sweden's chances. Classic.

Point and mcdavid make so much sense and we’re seeing it unfold

Finland can compete but I think they need all of their best guys to be healthy and in the lineup.

 

[TimeZone]

Just a really bad matchup for Finland, Canada has the most speed and skill in the tournament top to bottom, Finland doesn't have the players or style to slow them down and grind out an ugly one like the Americans.

Finland has a great collection of players, but missing 2 of your top 4 D is tough, and goalies haven't been at a high level. I expect a strong showing at the Olympics from your team

They badly need Heiskanen.

 

[GMR]

Canada hasn't lost a game with Crosby in the lineup since Saturday night.

It will be a tough test for USA.

 

[MessierII]

Canada is a different team with Makar back in. He is arguably their best player.

You can’t replace that. Theodore to Sanheim is not a big deal but you can’t replace what Makar brings. He’s the best D man in the world.

 

[karhukissa]

Only bright side. Well Sweden was even worse than us so USA-Canada was the only possible final matchup anyways.

 

[5 14 6 1]

McDavid is looking fantastic tonight.

 

[TheBeard]

Finland is like taking some random girl to the prom after breaking up with your SO knowing you’re gonna see each other and eventually get back together.
