Canada missing Theo and Morrissey.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Tkachuk sitting out is gonna gas the US.. think Canada takes it here. Gonna be a great third.

 

[Summer Rose]

After two periods I'd give a slight edge to Canada. They've gotten better scoring chances, at least in the past 10 minutes. Still, the game is tied.

The hope for OVERTIME remains.

I do not want a repeat of 2010.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

No matter what, I can say with certainty this is among the best hockey I've ever seen.

Intensity of a SCF game 7 but featuring the most speed & skill the game has ever had. Its fantastic hockey.

(Of course, if Canada loses its just a made up mean-nothing tournament )

[SillyRabbit]

Playing the slowest player on the team in Stone with the fastest player on the team in McDavid is certainly a choice by Jon Cooper.

 

[Lou Sassole]

A guy who's won the Norris and is usually close to a ppg is just ok? How can you justify that opinion?

My eyes.

 

[gimbznyr]

Are people finally understanding how good Jaccob Slavin is?

Always thought he was good but this is a damn eye opener.

 

[RyCam]

Are people finally understanding how good Jaccob Slavin is?

Jake Sanderson as well

This is why no best on best international tournaments has been a tragedy, these tournaments are where stars are born.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

Poor owners and gms shitting bricks watching this game

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Although the hockey has been good, they need to not have this shit after all the players have played 40+ games of a grueling sport.

Feels like 75% of these guys have some sort of injury. Some of the best players aren’t even available.

 

[KJoe88]

Come on Canada. Big third please. Put USA in their place.

 

[pomx]

Looks like Matt Tkachuk has called it quits. Too intense for him and he can’t physically handle it.

He wasn’t 100% and chose to play, now he is screwing the USA team. What a leader

 

[NordiquesForeva]

Are people finally understanding how good Jaccob Slavin is?

He’s a great player, I just don’t like how he has two c’s in his name. What’s up with that?

 

[BB79]

Are people finally understanding how good Jaccob Slavin is?

Jaccob "Hoyvin Mayvin" Slavin..his name always reminds me of this Simpsons

 

[93gilmour93]

Nate really needs to knock off the high risk low percentage passes. I'd rather he just shoot on goal instead with that shot

 

[Some Other Flame]

 

[Zirakzigil]

I do not want a repeat of 2010.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

balls to the wall

 

[D Wakaluk]

Surely the Americans do not need Tage Thompson or Kyle Connor instead of Brock Nelson and Chris Kreider.

Are you kidding me? Can't go wrong with Brock & Chris

----

Neither team has the edge right now. 3rd will be some extra careful hockey...

 

[MOGlLNY]

USA fan but if I was Hagel I would be absolutely CHEWING OUT Tkachuk on the bench right now.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

I am sorry but terrible take from Bieksa. How is Brady Tkachuk the best player on the ice. To me it’s easily Slavin atleast on the American side

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Marner made two plays in this tournament Tom Wilson simply can’t make and they’ve been in big moments. Maybe Wilson should be on this team but not at Marner’s expense.

Marner has been mostly invisible in this tournament though. How many more plays would Wilson have made?

Full marks to Marner on the pass tonight though. He only has two points but they’ve been clutch.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Playing the slowest player on the team in Stone with the fastest player on the team in McDavid is certainly a choice by Jon Cooper.

It’s driving me insane. How are some coaches paid to be this incompetent

 

[theanomaly]

I do not want a repeat of 2010.

we're all much older now. i question if my ticker would handle it.
