[LevelingSolo]

He wasn't very good in his first game, but Lankinen did nothing to inspire any kind of confidence that he should get this game.

The win the other day had nothing to do with him whatsoever.

Honestly, EVERY goal on Lankinen in this game has been poor. The rebound on the last goal stunk.

And I would say at least 2 of the 3 goals he allowed against Sweden were HORRIBLE. Gustavsson and Ullmark somehow combined for weaker goals. The quality of goals in that entire game were just so weak.

They're already throwing in the towel on this game by not making a goalie change.

It’s odd that the coach thought they had a better chance against Canada with Lankinen

Saros has looked pretty good so far in relief, could be 2-0 instead of 4

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Marner and Hagel by far the best pkers for Canada

Seems safe enough with a four goal lead. Marner needs to do something with only 8 minutes of ice time

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

Canada's defence is miles ahead of Sweden's.

Did you know that the word Sweden in Swedish means “little brother”?

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

How on earth wasn't that a penalty on Barkov? Lmao. They really have adopted NHL rules - it's open season on any team with a big lead.

I wouldn't count on Canada getting any PPs from hereon in. NHL refs and all.

 

[sportsdynasty]

Canada is so much better with their best D, Makar back! Much better forward lineup combinations.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

We beat Sweden in OT.

And now they are playing for nothing.

When was the last time that happened in a best ob best tournament?

 

[Divine]

Binnington is stopping the puck but keeps shooting out rebounds. Every save seems to be a scramble. He needs to freeze the puck if he wants to inspire confidence.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Binnington has been solid. Hasn't needed to be great but he's done what he's needed to.

Yes, he's been excellent. Hopefully that gives him confidence against the US (if this game doesn't go completely south of course) and we get Cup winner Binnington.

 

[jj cale]

B

He makes saves but rebounds popping out all over the place.

He is scary as can be even when he is not letting any in. There cant be a Canadian fan confident in this guy.

 

[FinPanda]

Saros probably shoud've started,, He is still our best NHL goalie

 

[Bleedred]

I honestly think every goal on Lankinen ranged from meh to horrible.

Should it really be 0-0? Probably not.

But yeah, 1-0 or 2-0 with a competent goaltending performance. Lankinen did not give them a competent goaltending performance. I would argue he didn't even give them a competent performance on Saturday against Sweden.

Saros was terrible against USA so they just didn't have any faith in him.

 

[karhukissa]

Did you know that the word Sweden in Swedish means “little brother”?

That makes lot of sense.

 

[Paul4587]

Canada is in full control but I still don’t love their cycle game. It’s better in this one but they’re also playing a very weak blueline.

Possibly too late to do anything now given the roster selections but it’s a worry going up against the US blueline again (assuming they close this one out).

 

[JoeSakic13]

Yeah you better believe that a Tkachuk would be all over those rebounds.

 

[Auston Marlander]

They always have been very overrated, and never perform in big time situations. I don’t get why people are so surprised by this.

Marner scored the OT winner against Sweden. Matthews has 1 assist.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

hope Crosby can get back to his game 1 form. Guy won’t stop turning the puck over

 

[NyQuil]

And now they are playing for nothing.

When was the last time that happened in a best ob best tournament?

So the teams that don’t make it to the Final don’t belong in the tournament?

I’m having a hard time understanding your reasoning.

[sansabri]

why did this start at 1pm

[JoeSakic13]

Now do this with Crosby wearing burgundy and blue.

 

[NyQuil]

why did this start at 1pm

Because it’s in the US and the US game gets the prime time spot?

 

[JackSlater]

I don't think that Finland can maintain the pace for full periods but I do think they should start this period strongly and give some push. As for Binnington so far he has been solid. More scrambly than I'd like, but that is never going to change. To this point the game on paper looks like exactly what Canada would want.

 

[MarkWheeler]

Marner scored the OT winner against Sweden. Matthews has 1 assist.

Wowww!
