[periferal]

I think it's obvious that we're going to hear that several US players were much more injured/sick then we knew.

Emily Kaplan just said a few guys won't be ready to play NHL games when the tourney is over.

McAvoy is probably all muscle underneath but there he just looks like some dude that works at an office

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

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

Vezina is his again this year!

Great, great goalie

 

[nucks88]

f***ing dump…..

 

[PaulD]

Jarvis has to be harder on the puck and bury that one

 

[1 Team 24 Cups]

Tkachuk can barely walk. Dude is a warrior.

He can’t handle the rough going. Better suited for a non contact game.

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.

lol McDavid plays 28 mins a game in the NHL. He has plenty of energy. I don’t need to see the worst player in the tournament.

To me this is same as last game. Canada was largely better team, two sorta perimeter chances that Binnington should have had he did not.

 

[BB79]

Guess im not used to American sports culture

Think European soccer culture, just less violent

 

[Tyson]

I am shocked at the ineffectiveness of Jack Hughes

And Auston Matthews

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

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

Can he sue for bad medical care.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

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.

I think we’ll take the goals wherever we can get them

 

[BlueSeal]

God, the salt in this game is amazing, from the poor choice of anthem singers to MacK striking first. Tension is delicious, LOVE IT, LET'S GOOOO!!!

 

[PaulD]

Great, great goalie

got beat 25 times in 5 play off games last spring

 

[LTIR]

Of course it had to be Jarvis.

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

Hyman would've burried it

 

[NyQuil]

Reinhart and Binnington a little too casual.

 

[Go19]

Bad turnover

 

[Strangle]

you have brady tkachuk right there.

f*** man, I’m still going mcavoy. But you’re right they’re both ugly

 

[SharksCyclops]

you have brady tkachuk right there.

Good point, that's probably why McAvoy looks so bad

 

[BB79]

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

No. And because it's the one time we're cheering for him he'll probably choke even harder. Fn Leafs..

 

[bh53]

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

Crosby and Doughty, Marchand wasn't on the team. I'm not sure for team USA but for Canada I think the only players still here are Perry, Fleury, Doughty and Crosby from the 2010 team

 

[BlueSeal]

Might as well be on Reddit.

Heresy!

 

[Zirakzigil]

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

 

[93gilmour93]

McAvoy did not look good.

 

[TimeZone]

Wtf was that McDavid
