Olympics: Canada vs USA

[Fogelhund]

Both jerseys are terrible. Can't see the numbers clearly on either team. But yes, Canada are worse.

Canada's goalie isn't very good.... This isn't a very high level of hockey.. but.. nationalism yo.

Starfish goalie...

Rough play by Pasquale not a good look there

 

[adsfan]

US forecheck all over Canada. Pasquale was too slow handling the puck and it ended up in the net.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

There’s no reason Levi shouldn’t be up in net.

Good old Julien is gonna ride the vets to a quarter final loss.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Pretty amazing how far USA hockey has come even in the past 20 years.

 

[HabSgt]

3-1 all USA here

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Brisson with a backhand off the rebound. Keep the pressure on US.

Definitely a team on the rise.

Give the People what they want

Love that spinorama by Pasquale. What a showman!

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

That was ugly from Canada's goalie but we'll take it

Denis Savard is jealous.

Well, our first goal was ugly so it’s only fair.

How do the playoffs work? I assume Canada plays China next. If we win, even if we lose to the U.S., do we advance?

Anyone have an answer?

 

[mrmovies779]

USA's speed and forecheck is killing Canada

 

[The National]

US is buzzing.

 

[PG Canuck]

Would have no issue with the US winning gold tbh. Seeing these young kids win good would be awesome.

 

[Antiillafire]

Haven’t been impressed by Mctavish at all

 

[Canucks LB]

is there some sort of restrictions on young players?, Can’t Canada and USA not just bring literally all the top prospects in the world to play for them?

Clod will not go with the kids. You know it. I know it. I'm sure the kids there know it.

He smoked the crossbar that was pretty cool.

Him and Perfetti looked fantastic in the WJC

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

I can’t get over how much American hockey has grown. With the NHL wanting to do less with fighting and keeping a close eye on physicality you see how much influence goes with the product in the NHL to these kids. Americans were never known as quick, speedy, skilled, up tempo. Love it. Noticed a huge change last 3 years or so in NHL product with younger NHL Americans

 

[Antiillafire]

I agree, just don’t see the former as influential here. I’ve really like Johnson though. So dynamic

Honestly US or Canada winning gold here would probably increase the chance the NHL never goes to the olympics again
