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

[5 14 6 1]

FINALLY they put Point with McDavid and get their best chance of the period. Been begging for this since pre tourney

 

[Canadienna]

USA playing the trap to a tee.

 

[Miro4Norris]

Hopefully another 6-1 romping too

Sorry Finland got fixed with new lines and Goalie. You won’t be as lucky in finals

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Announcers just said Canada facing the 'best goalie in the world'....and I thought, "Wait...Andrei Vasilevskiy isn't playing this game!"

Sorry fans, force of habit.

Yep. Hell Boy is the man the last two years!

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Nice play Morrissey

44 trying to calm them down to make a smooth play, he knows how to score on Helly if anyone does.

 

[Panthaz89]

Feels like a Sabres-Kraken game right now
No offense

The Kraken own us they would score more goals by themselves....last bout was 6-2.

 

[Straight Fire]

This game reminds me of when two GOAT UFC fighters finally face-off in a main event and you tell a bunch of non-UFC-fans that this the must-watch bout of all must-watch bouts and then they stalemate the shit out of each other for 5 rounds lol

 

[JPeeper]

USA's defence is putting on a clinic , we are getting absolutely clamped

Yeah, the American's defense is elite as f***. Not just in personnel on the back end, but they're breakout and in-zone defense is very strong.

 

[I am not exposed]

Slavin has been the best player for either team

Are they doing 3 stars? He won't get one because they always favour goal scorers and goaltenders.

 

[2028 7th]

Canada's game is simply boring, and that's sad.

 

[PanniniClaus]

We've got 0 offensive threat from the blueline. No Makar. Don't have that Weber bomb anymore either.

It's what is really missing

 

[Tryamw]

Bennett and Marchant can do that.

Rat grease wasn't specified

 

[Nucks2001]

USA's defence is putting on a clinic , we are getting absolutely clamped

I mean what do you expect? Fox, Slavin, McAvoy and Faber?

We have Parayko, Sanhiem and a 60 year old Drew Doughty out there

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

I love Marchand but wonder if he was the right choice for this team. Wilson for example, at this points in their careers Wilson is basically a bigger faster stronger version of Marchand.

So you're saying you prefer the musk rat over the field mouse?
I might agree....

 

[BullLund]

USA is really solid defensively and has great goaltending, that's a difficult combination to beat.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Canada's gotta use their skating to draw a penalty now. Skate it in the slot.

 

[Coffee]

Doh!-ty, amirite?

There it is

 

[Betelgeuse]

Harley is a pretty good addition, gotta say.

 

[featherhawk]

Marchand needs to be moved up the lineup, sneaky good

ya he is a guy to stir the pot.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

US defense is so smothering

 

[Zirakzigil]

Its not over until the fat lady sings. We have the talent to get one.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Think that the line changes by Canada have helped, need another puck moving d and goalies the difference.

Stone-Crosby-Marchand as the checking/3rd line(

Mack-McDavid-?

Anyways

 

[snag]

Matt Tkachuk is done apparently.

Lemme guess....until Game 1 as well? lol

 

[robertocarlos]

Even if Tkachuk broke his hand he'd be ready for the playoffs.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

USA locking it down excellently, Guerin and Hynes saw this group of players and had to be drooling at the level of skill and effort available.
