[Tyson]

Marchand is washed

Doesn't belong on this team

 

[Bradely]

USA is lucky to be tied. Canada had the best of this one. Now up to the second

 

[ClarkSittler]

McJesus time to show us your magic.

 

[Divine]

Give me more of this. How much does it hurt knowing the like 13th best goalie in hockey is the best you have?

Not the best we have. Even the analysts said they don't expect him to make the Olympic team due to this tournament.

 

[Nicko999]

Do the refs know they are allowed to call penalties?

 

[periferal]

Of course. Ffs.

Ah the poetry of you whining over a goal set up by your avatar.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

People getting on Binnington are being silly. That’s the kind of goal that gets scored all the time.

I totally agree that he’s been poor this tournament but that’s not a soft goal.

 

[BMOK33]

USA is lucky to be tied. Canada had the best of this one. Now up to the second

Feels same as last game. Canada better team but not getting that big goal, at least just yet. This feels like a game where next goal might win

 

[TheOrganist]

What was with Werenski that period?

 

[ViD]

Jack Hughes completely not a factor this tourney

 

[le_sean]

Brady Tkachuk plays just like his dad.

Yeah, he’s a loser that won’t win anything just like his dad.

 

[northeastern]

Do the refs know they are allowed to call penalties?

Hopefully they keep the whistles away unless it's a must call let the boys play

 

[DaBolts]

Marchand is washed

I love/hate the Rat as a Tampa fan, but his day as come and gone. Bad choice by Coop and the boys.

 

[WiLBoY]

McDavid needs to show up if he wants to be the best. He's invisible out there. Take away his speed and he has nothing. No teammates work with him and fans are just making excuses for him.

 

[Zalos]

Really awesome period of hockey! Extremely fast and intense. I don't even understand what people would have to complain about on either side so far.

 

[NyQuil]

I’d like to see Brady Tkachuk in the playoffs for Ottawa at some point.

 

[featherhawk]

People getting on Binnington are being silly. That’s the kind of goal that gets scored all the time.

I totally agree that he’s been poor this tournament but that’s not a soft goal.

That goal is all on Mark Stone, he was caught watching the puck instead of watching and tying up Brady coming into the slot.

 

[93gilmour93]

Sitting with Chantal Kreviazuk.

He played like she sang in the first period. Need McJesus to wake up in the 2nd period

 

[REALTALK81]

I feel that Canada was doomed after that awful rendition of the national anthem

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Marchand should have never made team Canada. He has been awful.

He had his time but dude looks way behind

 

[JPeeper]

Soft ass play from Makar lead to the American goal. Time to redeem yourself Cale and get one for the glorious nation of Canada.

 

[MK9]

'Waaah. The refs....'

Apparently all Canadian fans turn into Maple Leaf fans when they're all rooting for the same team.

 

[DaBolts]

I’d like to see Brady Tkachuk in the playoffs for Ottawa at some point.

I'd love to see Brady on Tampa's second or third line. But we're at the cap.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

The Tkachuks have the it factor, you just know they're going to bring it in a big game.

Thought Canada looked better the first half, the US the second half. Great game so far, if not a little sloppy with the puck.

 

[toddkaz]

Marchand is cooked. Should have been Bedard.
