USA has to be used to being second best all the time by now no??

 

[I am not exposed]

Both Matthews and Marner with two points this game.

Leafs will make a deep run this year.

It’s on the USA coaches more than anything. If Connor is healthy, then he should have played. CK was benched most of the game, and they let MT play even though he was injured.

The longer this game went, the greater Canada’s odds of winning. Congrats.

Hughes was a disappointment but I have a feeling he wasn’t 100%, even before the tournament.

 

[MNRube]

What a game. Congrats to Canada and McDavid. See you guys in Italy

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

All the players look so awkward carrying the trophy lol. McDavid especially was like I'm not raising this

Haha, yeah I noticed the players that haven’t won a cup were a little more hesitant to lift it.

 

[DuklaNation]

Really. Lucky for you that Russia wasn't in too. With all your so called talent you barely won. Don't forget USA beat Canada 4 days ago. So in reality they tied.

When you have the best player on the planet, you always have a chance. All that matters who the championship game.

 

[TMLeafer]

McDavid barely lifted the trophy. Is he injured or something?

2 DAYS AGO

I'm tired of seeing people come here after a loss just to say how amazing the other team's goalie was. "Well played, USA/Finland/Sweden! Your goalkeeper was really good!" Give me a break. We all know what you're really trying to say.

You're not fooling anyone with your fake compliments. It's obvious you're just bitter about losing and trying to make excuses. If you want to praise the other team's goalie, fine, but at least be genuine about it.

Let's be real: Losing sucks, but trying to sugarcoat it with insincere compliments just makes you look like a sore loser. Man up, accept the loss, and move on.

Next time you feel the urge to post about how great the other team's goalie was, stop and think. Are you really being a good sport, or just being passive-aggressive?

TODAY

Congrats Canada, your goalie was really good!

I'm happy for Canada. They really needed this win. Their future isn't looking too bright.

Well played to Binnington, he was the best Canadian player tonight.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Your Canadian Grey Cup Champions!!!

 

[Muffin]

Matthews is 100% a choker. Game on his stick and he couldn't finish it then leaves McDavid wide open on the winner.

 

[Peiskos]

Canada, our best win when it matters. History once again proves that when we bring our best, we win the vast majority of the time. Period.

 

[Finnflash]

And all is good in the world again

 

[Beau Knows]

Gotta hand it to Binnington, we all doubted him, he was unreal tonight.

 

[GMR]

Most devastating loss in U.S hockey history.............by a lot, and fitting it was Canada who did it to them.

Oh yeah...............f*** you Ryan Whitney

Not even close. Most people in this country don't care about this tournament.

Besides, losing the Gold Medal games was a lot worse.

 

[Divine]

That felt like passing the torch.

From Iginla to Crosby to Marner to McDavid.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Extremely easy. Will always be our sport, never forget that, gg.

I mean.... EXTREMELY easy is probably a bit of an exaggeration. I think Canada v USA is dang near even (like on a razors edge) right now.

 

[Incognito]

We are a proud country tonight (and every night).

 

[centipede2233]

Kyle dubas is a winner! It only took a team cap of $145 million to do it, but a winner nonetheless!

[FDBluth]

Surprised Bettman isn't scooting up beside each player as they raise the trophy, he'd get a bit more time with his face on the TV.

 

[BagHead]

Well, now that the site is running fast enough for me to post again:

Congrats on your win, Canada. It was a heck of a game.

 

[BB79]

McDavid proved he wasn't the best player in the game this series. He got lucky scoring that goal.

Hey, he finally came through in a clutch game unlike last June, let him have his moment

 

[Ciao]

@SeanMoneyHands. How about that Mitch Marner now? Did he deserve to play, after all?

 

[1specter]

Binnington is the father of TD Garden

 

[All Mod Cons]

Where the f*** were Eichel, Boldy, Larkin, Hughes, Kreider, Nelson, Miller, Trochek and Guentzel tonight?
