[DackellDuck]

Playoff Hellebyuck!

 

[BB79]

Canada scores first...just like last game, which turned out awesome

 

[Tralfamadore]

Low IQ goal

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Tkachuk bros, Sanderson, Hughes, how many others on Team USA have a Canadian parent?

How many on Team Canada have an American parent?

Yes

 

[KCC]

binnington needs to hold the fort now.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Matthews is strong

Both can be true

 

[Three On Zero]

Very selfish of MacKinnon to get the 1st goal

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

US needs to physically manhandle the Canadians like the Blues did to the Bruins in the 2019 Cup

Not happening

 

[Strangle]

If the Americans want to play this end to end game they’ll get absolutely buried

They just don’t have the skill to play that game

 

[Mobiandi]

Best player in the NHL strikes! Classic Hellebuyck. .875 beckons

 

[CorgisPer60]

That was just a clean shot with tonnes of traffic. No chance on that for Helle. Good goal, MacK.

 

[jetsforever]

Good start!

 

[D Wakaluk]

vintage MacKinnon, tries that every damn game!

1-0 for the good guys

 

[centipede2233]

Thomas Harley better be in 2026 Olympic team, he has earned it

 

[KCC]

Low IQ goal

Yup. Simple hockey works with games like this.

 

[Oilslick941611]

n

Where are the Oiler fans saying he's selfish?

not the time or place

 

[Matty Sundin]

Gonna need more then 1 with Bingington routine game weak goal

 

[Lenny Levino]

I

They were a bunch of college kids that beat a team that the NHL's best lost to on many occasions.
Arguably the greatest upset in sports history.

Kazakhstan beating Sweden in 2004 Olympics wasn't a bad feat either.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Nice setup by Marner

 

[jgs]

USA needs to respond.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Nate the Great puts Canada on his back

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Throw all pucks on net. This could be playoff Hellebuyck.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

need full effort from Doubty this game

 

[PaulD]

Mackinnon scores against Tkachuk line ! Beauty !

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

That would have been the perfect game for Tom Wilson.

Can't believe he didn't make it
