GDT: Canada vs. USA | 15 February 2025 | 2000hrs EST | THIS IS OUTHOUSE! | Mod warning Post #2

[Divine]

If we beat Finland in reg time are we in final? No matter what Sweden does, we would both have 5 pts

Yeah because Canada has the tie-breaker on Sweden.

This isn't a must win game for Canada. It's still exhibition. I think Makar would have played if it was an elimination game.

 

[Turin]

Hagel-McDavid-Reinhart
Crosby-MacKinnon-Point

 

[dirtydanglez]

canadas big names have been very underwhelming.

 

[Tralfamadore]

McDavid was ass that period.

Noone stepping up for Canada.

 

[Three On Zero]

Who do you think wins?

Gut says USA with how we've seen the game played through 40. Canada has a few game breakers when they get fired up though, so it could be a Canada victory if they come out fired up in the 3rd

 

[KingsOfCali25]

It's been a long time coming but USA is finally able to play with Canada, talent for talent. It's not #1 vs #2/3 anymore. It's 1A vs 1B.

 

[5 14 6 1]

He's set up so many good plays. People think Marner is a rocket winner now that he scored an OT winner.

What play did he set up? He doesn't win a single wall battle or win the puck back on a forecheck

 

[Zirakzigil]

Coming off an injury. Amazing that he’s even playing

Shouldnt be. His game conditioning isnt there. Neither is his decision making.

 

[RI.B FAN]

I may be in the minority here but Canada could really have used Bedard him and McDavid would complement each other like peanut butter and jelly

Na, Not his time

 

[Paul4587]

Marchand Mcdavid Stone
Crosby MacKinnon Marner

Who’s going into the corners to retrieve loose pucks for that second line?

 

[centipede2233]

Yeah because we have the tie-breaker on Sweden.

Ok thanks

 

[Hank Plank]

Let's face it Canada is USAs beoch.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Marchand Mcdavid Stone
Crosby MacKinnon Marner

Why not at this point!

Must find a way to crack that Hellboi.

 

[Three On Zero]

McDavid was ass that period.

Noone stepping up for Canada.

US defence has played a near flawless game

 

[Czechboy]

Leads the US D... beast.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Crosby has been ass tonight. Looks so slow out there.
Need to shake up the lines as Reinhart and Marner are not working with McDavid

Crosby & Stone too slow, 97 needs different wingers, Canada lines need a shake up, move Marchand up.

 

[Panthaz89]

Lots of American no-shows too -- Werenski, Hughes, Matthews, Eichel, Connor, Fox...

Didn't Eichel takeaway the puck and fly down the ice and give the puck to Jake for a goal?

 

[5 14 6 1]

McDavid was ass that period.

Noone stepping up for Canada.

Mackinnonnwas worse

 

[PanniniClaus]

Boldy lines on Matthews with Tkachuk and Miller

I honestly don't know what this means.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

After the World Jr's controversy, if Canada loses this tournament because they refused to take the best players, again...

There needs to be a massive exodus of Hockey Canada.

Nobody's job should be safe.

You simply cannot afford to play politics with your weakest position (goaltending) and let someone like Binnington start two games in a row like this.

If the whole rape scandal didn't make them second guess, maybe losing will.

 

[Tryamw]

Page 100, baby.

Question can we make 150?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Binnington has kept Canada in the game. USA is just better. Stop coping with goalie.

Nah. Binnington’s first never should’ve gone in. The second was stoppable but not what I’d call soft.

 

[syz]

Shouldnt be. His game conditioning isnt there. Neither is his decision making.

Hasn't been for a couple years. And now he's likely a step slower considering it was a long term ankle injury. 100% a reputation pick.

 

[Kimota]

Dude what the hell is wrong with Sportsnet playing the USA goal song at the end of the 2nd period? This is the Canadian broadcast of the game, why the f*** are you playing the American goal song? What moron do they have working the broadcast? Show some pride.

lol I believe they play both songs.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Canada is basically OJ at this point. Beaten to a pulp
