Olympics: Canada vs USA

[BMOK33]

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

That was real bad...it made the Trocheck none call in the NYI/FLA game 6 look good

 

[heynowbababooey]

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

No shit

 

[cptjeff]

Good game, let's do it again in the finals. Whoever draws the Russians, please beat them to a pulp!

 

[BertCorbeau]

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.

Agreed. Canada showed in the second half that they can be the better team but they had that slow start and got caught chasing the game.

A rematch would be fun.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

US was better but man is that just very mediocre hockey to watch.

 

[canuck2010]

Ridiculous

Ok maybe just 15. The point I'm making is that 19 goals doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Yeah, pretty even game.

Pasquale was terrible and that was a huge difference.

USA scrubs DEFEAT Canadian hockey team.

pop that champagne, you know you want to

Canada's goalie sucks. Terrible turnover for the 3rd goal and 4th goal should never go in.

There would be a lot more 15 goal scorers if that was the case...

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Crazy world where Canada beats the USA and Mexico in soccer but loses to the USA in hockey.

 

[Fogelhund]

USA scrubs DEFEAT Canadian hockey team.

Indeed and kudos to them for it...

Being honest, it was mediocre hockey, all around. The US certainly deserved this one though.

 

[ORRFForever]

Pasquale was terrible and that was a huge difference.

How many shots did he face?

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Well, fair play Canucks

Pasquale with a WOAT-worthy performance in net

 

[SanDogBrewin]

How are the American college kids looking?

Great! How did the KHL and AHL players look ?

 

[Cowumbus]

Johnson and McTavish should play together change my mind.

 

[Natey]

How many shots did he face?

27.

Mann faced 37, obviously not including the 4 posts.

live once my friend. i take anything.

I have to agree. Everything is dialed down several notches from NHL play. I mean, Eric Staal is playing in a prominent role. Lol.

Skewed a bit by the late PP and 5-on-3. I think shots were about even before that.

Never mind.

 

[trilobyte]

Exactly, enjoy the moment.
I remember when USA beat Canada in the WJC some years ago. At work, we absorbed a lot of trash talk from our Houston contingent.
Gotta celebrate wins.
Your team did good. Wish we could have traded goalies at some point, haha.

 

[Hanji]

Tale of 2 halves.

The US came out on fire, and with their energy and talent took it to Canada.
But Canada’s maturity and vets took over the young kids in the 2nd period.

The difference was goaltending. Mann stood tall, Pasquale not so much.

Entertaining game.
