Maybe we’ll get another Mcdavid playoff speech

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Tonight is a must-win for Canada. For way too many reasons we cannot discuss here.

With all the BS coming from the American side (Bill Guerin yesterday and Hanifin this morning), I hope our boys understand the significance of this moment and the symbol a win can be. As a country, in those uncertain times, we need this.

Unfortunately, for reasons that are not in our control as Canadians, tonight is bigger than hockey. 22 men have the opportunity to be remembered forever. The game itself, not that important. The moment in history? Its symbolic nature? Absolutely huge.

GO CANADA GO!

Feels like the 72 Summit Series in this regard

 

[Korpse]

All the footage used in the USA dominance of hockey video is from one round robin game.

All the footage used in the Canada dominance of hockey video is Crosby’s golden goal.

Canada’s dominance is winning 5 of the last 6 best on best tournaments.

 

[Zybalto]

.....and to think, this is just the warmup for the Olympics!

 

[Dirtyclapper]

Can Jarvis play center because if not then I can't see Cirelli come out the lineup as I don't want to see the pairs McDavid - Point and MacKinnon - Crosby split up?

Bennett

You really need to let go off of your wrestling boner dude.

I was not born back then, but I guess, yes.

Might be recency bias, but this feels bigger. Not hockey wise, but socially.

Anyway, I guess history will take care of explaining it when the time comes.

Bennett

Bennett is already centering his own line.

Bennett can play center in Cirelli spot (if he is the scratch)

*nevermind, reports are konecny is scratched

I know, I was just trying to be nice to the Southerners.

 

[Strangle]

Suck it Americans! You’re going down in the rematch!

It’s not

Alright Canadians. Change those Avatars to a patriotic one tonight to support our boys! Big game tonight!

The stakes are the highest they’ve ever been. The losing nation’s citizens all get mandatory subscriptions to @hangman005 ‘s OnlyFans.*

Cool .. at least our footage wasnt so old it had to be converted from VHS to digital

The f*** do you think we were using in 2010 and 2014?

 

[Czechboy]

Translation.. last 2 losses for Canada vs US was in round robing/preliminary type matches at a best on best. Canada has 17 wins including eliminating US in 2014 in Semi's and the gold final in 2010.

*nevermind, reports are konecny is scratched

Bennett is already a center for his own line so he and Cirelli weren't really options to scratch

 

[PenguinSuitedUp]

Gotta love one of USA's best players getting hurt in a meaningless game.

Great tourney format. Would do again.

/s

Shut up, dude. This is best on best international play. It’s the best hockey you will EVER get to watch.

 

[FMichael]

I hope the fans in Boston tonight cheer loudly and sing along with the Canadian National Anthem...No need to stir the pot...Just enjoy the game on ice!

 

[BTP]

Not even nervous,

A team in Blue and White featuring Auston Matthews will lose a winner take all game in TD Garden tonight. The script is already written. LMAO

Canada doesn’t lose these games.

Let’s go

Marner in overtime again

 

[FlyguyOX]

Canada getting all amped to hopefully go 1-1 against the US!!

Good luck guys! Hopefully you'll be able to get to .500!!!!!!

 

[Neil Racki]

Idk man ... maple syrup? Going up there is like going back in time.

I guarantee 80% of the Canadian posters on here have still have wood panel somewhere in their house.

(I love Canada .. this is just jokes)

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Put big money down on USA…. Canada got no shot

 

[NyQuil]

Put big money down on USA…. Canada for no shot

No shots on goal? Thats quite the bet.
