Olympics: Canada vs USA

[bsu]

McTavish hitting many posts.

 

[Natey]

Gotta say... I'm hoping for back to back China games. Would be a big confidence builder

 

[Boonk]

Am I watching a Jets game rn? Outside of the youngsters like Power, Johnson and McTavish, the powerplay was anemic.

 

[ORRFForever]

Win or lose, hopefully we see the Americans in the playoff round. I think we will do better next time.

 

[The National]

Mctavish smoking posts.

 

[Hanji]

usa just has more grit. weak teams usually lose.

More grit? The US is getting physically worked the later half of this game.

 

[snipes]

For me, this game was worth staying up for. Better action than I had anticipated.

It’s an entertaining hockey game, both teams are competing hard at both ends of the ice.

He was still a 20 goal guy just 2 years ago (well, 19 in 66 GP, which counts in my book). Last year is where he really cratered.

If you stand in front 0f the net for 80 odd games you'll score 19 goals now.

to lose to this usa team. lol

No kidding, Canada was the far more physical team in the 2nd and 3rd.

 

[BMOK33]

That is a pretty stupid icing there...even up by 2 no reason to for that, you can take that in and easily burn 20 seconds off

Amazing how hard it is to find guys who are able to reliably park themselves in front of the net, though.

 

[trilobyte]

How are the American college kids looking?

Not really all that knowledgeable on them but Nies stands out to me.
Heartbroken over McTavish's almosts tonight

 

[BertCorbeau]

Canada's had some tough luck but they also caved for a stretch in this game. And the 4th goal by the US was one that can't go in.

Ridiculous

 

[gtrower]

USA taken down on a breakaway and no call? 1 minute after a 5v3 the other direction?

 

[Hattrick Kane]

The game was close. Goalies were the difference. There’s a reason Claude is out of the NHL.

 

[Woodrow]

Pretty even game. The difference has been Canada hitting some posts and blowing a couple complete empty net chances.

 

[Natey]

Potential to play China twice in a row for Canada

 

[ORRFForever]

Good game, USA. Hope to play you, again.

 

[expy]

to lose to this usa team. lol

David Desharnais made team Canada, this is probably the worst roster in Canadian history.

 

[The National]

Good win US

Agreed. It was a tough game. Canada had chances. In my opinion you can’t look at this game and say USA is the clear dominant team. We have seen this before. Hats off to the USA but it was a good game. They came away with the victory but both teams played hard as they always do against each other.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Bleh.. game would have been a lot more exciting with NHLers.

 

[stonecold316]

should have been more physical trying to get the puck in the net.
