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

[VVV]

The ASG should be terminated and burned and permanently replaced by this or some form of variant of it.

This is actually very good and intense hockey. None of that boring weak and soft ballerina dance that is the ASG

 

[Turin]

0% chance this is “talked about for years”.

Life will go on after this tournament is over.

We still talk about the World Cup 2016. This will definitely be a memorable tournament

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Honestly, unless this was game 7 of the SCF with my team in it, I can't be more pumped.

 

[Fatass]

Binner needs to be better that goal he allowed was unacceptable

Did anyone, honestly, expect better from Binnington? Personally I expect shots on him to go in. And expect Hellybuck to make the save. What do each club’s skaters expect from their goalies?

 

[Score08]

Incredibly hockey, the pace, effort, skill, physicality.

Also McDavid looked off after that big hit from McAvoy.

Which one?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

USA playing great physical hockey. Canada playing a great skilled game. Pretty even in the first. Binnington made some nice saves but that goal can’t go in. Those softies are going to kill you.

 

[JPeeper]

But this kind of game is not possible on Olympic ice

Last time the NHL was in the Olympics they played on NHL sized ice.

 

[Master P]

On a side note, I think its nice to see both teams wearing their "home" jersey's and not one team being in their White (Away) set.

 

[NyQuil]

Binnington 4 periods....3 soft goals against

He’s like Anton Forsberg.

He makes spectacular saves but lets in softies.

 

[Divine]

Players showing the NHL they want olympics

If this was the Olympics the US couldn't hold, throw late hits, interfere and bump the goalie as much as they did. Would be a PP fest for Canada.

 

[Hank Plank]

Goaltending wins championships, good luck Canada.

 

[Chinaski89]

Helly keeping this from a Canada blowout

Must be nice having him

Canada had zero shots in 11.5 minutes… come again? Canada only has two even strength scoring chances and one was McDavid’s goal. Outside of their PP’s the Canadians look like the weaker team and it’s not even close. Americans are out working them, stronger than them, more tenacious, quicker breakouts and much better press on the forecheck. If they keep their head and don’t take penalties they’ll win this 4-2.

 

[TheGuiminator]

Fastest 1st period i've ever watched.

This was non-stop action

 

[WillTheThrill]

This thread is 45% Canadian talk, 45% Americna talk and 10% Leafs talk.

No wonder the media ram it down our throats.

Canada vs USA and haters can’t help but make it about the leafs

 

[GrumpyKoala]

The bell center energy is through the roof tonight, much better than the usual Habs game!

I am lucky enough to be right behind usa net for the 2nd so make it rain!!!

 

[BMOK33]

Gonna be honest, Sid is just ever so slightly showing his age with a game of this intensity. Young Sid would be moving the puck around like a demon in a game like this, but it's noticeable now that he needs to take an extra split second (based on his own standards) to make a play. Father time is undefeated

PS I'm 38 so I'm qualified to say this

Forwards peak at like 23-27, its amazing he has even been as good as he has the last 8-10 years.

 

[syz]

US getting away with some shit so far, especially when they're already short handed. They know NHL refs wouldn't dare put them down 2 men in a game like this. IIHF refs wouldn't think twice.

 

[Kane One]

But this kind of game is not possible on Olympic ice

The rink size is no longer a requirement.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

money ruins everything

A wise man tried to tell everybody that about 2,000 years ago but nobody listened then or now.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

1 or 2 games of these guys playing with NHL rules isn't enough....we need a series.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews are gonna team up to score the OT winner and all you Leaf hating virgins are gonna be sorry

To be fair, Marner gave Point multiple glorious opportunities. Didn't count on Point being horrendous at shooting.

 

[The don godfather]

McAvoy had some beauty hits. Absolute ten bangers.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

"These 6 guys aren't fighters"

Brady Tkachuk isn't a fighter? What?

He's a beauty. Decisively won his bout.

 

[NeverForget06]

Put Marner on McDavid's spot in PP1. Let McDavid run PP2 because it has less shooters.

Leafs fan says put Mitch in there over the best player in the world lol

 

[Go19]

Brady looking like a WWE heel interview on ABC
