Poor owners and gms shitting bricks watching this game

Hoping their players don't get injured

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Doughty playing like 2010 Doughty. He's been real good with Harley.

 

[navyduck]

This is going to be a close game. Only one penalty called. Both teams are fighting hard. Shoukd be a good 3rd.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Hell of a game.

 

[Matt24]

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.

That’s literally why you have Marner on the team though. He can make game breaking plays so you live with the rest.

 

[Summer Rose]

At this point in the game, I think Canada takes it. How unfortunate for me if they do though.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

Werenski is quietly leading all players with 6 points. He drives so much of the play even at this level.

 

[Quinning]

I was 19 in 2010. 34 now. It's been a long f***ing time

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

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

Brady has been their best player. He’s set the tone, scored the goal and is smashing people all over the ice. He’s a hell of a player

 

[Matty Sundin]

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.

Don’t know why it needs middle of season. I get with olmypics they have no choice but these tourneys were almost always in end of august and September

 

[robertmac43]

I'm so stressed right now. I missed thinking this was just going to be a gimmick tournament.

Sanderson does not have the hairline of a 22 year old. dude looks 30

 

[bdub24]

Sanderson looks like a REALLY good listener

 

[kingsholygrail]

3rd will end 3-3.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

That’s literally why you have Marner on the team though. He can make game breaking plays so you live with the rest.

I’m okay with him in the bottom six. I don’t want to be relying on Marner for anything. If he can produce on the lower lines, I’m cool with it. That’s gravy.

 

[Summer Rose]

I'm so stressed right now. I missed thinking this was just going to be a gimmick tournament.

It'll be a gimmick tournament if we lose.

Just kidding. It's been great hockey, and if we do lose, it'll sting. A lot.

 

[jgs]

With all the talk about how great the Canadian players are. USA has a great chance to win this game.

 

[snag]

The clock on the server wrong? By like 25 minutes?

 

[Nogatco Rd]

So I guess you guys are actually interested in this!?
I'm not saying you shouldn't be.
I just wonder th significance

Who wouldn’t be interested in watching the 2 best hockey countries in the world play each other? Sports at its very core is about our guys vs your guys, all the extra fanfare and window dressing is just that.

 

[BB79]

I'm so stressed right now. I missed thinking this was just going to be a gimmick tournament.

F*** the NHL for doing this to us

 

[Aashir]

It’s set up for a Mcdavid OT goal

Crosby making a pass from his knees to Mcdavid who goes five hole on Hellybuyck

I can see it now.

 

[Bradely]

At this point in the game, I think Canada takes it. How unfortunate for me if they do though.

Canada did miss a couple of golden opportunity. 37 in net is really really good.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

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.

I think he's played up there because Stone makes big time plays in big games and he's one of the best in the NHL in taking pucks away. On paper it should work with McDavid and Point.

Looks like he can hear colours
