The 1-0 lead has put Canada in a terrible position. They now need 3 more goals.

 

[snipes]

Canada needs to keep attacking with this wave after wave pace.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Canada playing better so far, too many turnovers by the US

 

[Tyson]

Thomas Harley breaking out right before our eyes

I live near the AHL affiliate Texas Stars and saw this kid alot...so happy to see him in this game.

 

[TimeZone]

Of course it had to be Jarvis.

Should be up 2, that's gotta go in.

 

[Cloned]

Canada has made some nice offensive zone adjustments tonight. That right wing has been open twice already.

 

[BB79]

Exhibition match LOL

It is but at least it's current. Who is left from 2010 still on the ice? Old Crosby and Marchand?

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Hellebuyck. Solid, immovable just there.
No one was gonna push that past him.

Vezina is his again this year!

 

[Strangle]

Brady Tkachuk is gonna have to do more than run his yap and stirring up the pot between whistles if he wants to help Team USA win here.

Nathan MacKinnon made him look stupid while Brady was trying to "defend" him before the Canada goal!

Can’t win a hockey game with just a mean face and words

You have to play better than the other team. Tkachump bros can’t play better than their Canadian counterparts.

Looking mean ain’t never won a hockey game

 

[robertocarlos]

Gonna need more then 1 with Bingington routine game weak goal

Just pretend it's 0-0.

 

[ShippinUpToBoston]

Has Matthews ever scored a clutch goal in a big game? This would be a good game for it.

lmfao what

You really need to start watching NHL playoffs if this is some breakout.

Lol so Sweden >USA?? Or is there an excuse there somewhere

 

[Tyson]

US is not ready for this game. They need to wake up

 

[heretik27]

If Helle gives up a goal early on he tends to turn into a brick freaking wall the rest of the game. Not good for Canada if they can't get another one soon because the US will get their chances.

Many times

 

[Czechboy]

Poor McAvoy.. that has to suck. Also, he's a lot smaller than I thought.

 

[Sear91]

I am shocked at the ineffectiveness of Jack Hughes

 

[jgs]

Hellebak is playing good.

 

[wonton15]

lmfao what

Not everyone is a Dallas Stars fan lol no need to get hostile

 

[StlBigFly]

Why is Cooper playing this garbage 4th line more than McDavid. Someone take the team away from him

Energy per game is a limiting factor.

If you have the lead you don’t ride the horse as hard. Maybe the other horse will catch up, but they’ll be tired if they do and you won’t be.

 

[Neil Racki]

why is it so quiet where are USA fans

We all thought this was going to end 0-0 … so we are regrouping

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

McAvoy did not look good.

 

[SharksCyclops]

Hey Canada! Prove your unity. Flames fans and Oilers fans say something nice about the other. Otherwise, a nation disconnected.

 

[winnipegger]

Canada is too good. Just give up there's no point. Accept your syrupy overlords.
