Wouldn't say too many players "excelled" in this game but it was very telling that most of the pure skill guys weren't noticeable. Need more from guys like Marner and Reinhart. Crosby got roughed up and had a bad game, unusual costly errors. MacKinnon and McDavid have that competitive fire but couldn't make much happen despite their efforts.
I liked Morrissey and Toews on D, two guys I've called overrated in the past. On the US side, Matthews was quietly a 2 way beast and the team played an overall sound game. Nobody on their side stood out as being bad in this one. Huge advantage in net for USA.

We're always friends. I won't go there but a certain someone is making things difficult for us Candians. Like Americans though and your team played a hell of a game, especially defensively.

McDavid had the same problem he often used to have in Edmonton: the play dying as soon as he put the puck to the point.
The thing with Hellebuyck is he'll let in the odd soft goal or have the very odd bad game but, most of the time, he makes it look like the other team wasn't doing anything even though they were. He just makes it look easy with his positioning and being able to read the play. It's like with a solid defenceman. You barely hear about them because they're not screwing up.

Everyone is being super emotional and acting like the USA Defence was simply impenetrable.
Canada actually did a pretty good job generating chances, especially in the first and third.

No, but it’s his fault they had to play from behind. That allowed the US to clog the zone and play trap hockey.

See how good Binnington can be when he plays for a competent defense? He only allows two (soft) goals!

Crosby turnover leading to the 2 on 1 game winner is a thing of beauty.
Hellebuyck>Binnington was the difference in a very even game.

Trade you!
Here's the kicker, he normally would have saved those weird ones, he should have at least 1 SO.

Outside of his free goal, he was a waste with the puck. Give it to real players.
