GDT: Championship Game: USA vs Canada, 2/20 - 8pm ET (ESPN, ESPN+) There will be no political discussion, will result in warnings and thread bans.

[colchar]

Another international hockey tourney and, yet again, Canada trumps the US.

Gotta love it.

 

[syz]

That's my whole take
Forget MacK McD Makar
Forget Tkachuks
Kyle Conner was the reason we won

In all seriousness, I can't believe he was basically cast aside. He'd be on my teams top 6.

Connor was getting caved this tournament. Wasn't surprised he got scratched tonight, but he's still a better option than Nelson et al.

 

[Dirty Mind]

Lmao, whatever man I’m not reading all that. Thanks for talking everybody congrats Canada. See ya in the Olympics! hilarious

What’s wrong? Are your eyes too swollen by sobbing to read it?

 

[Brookbank]

Jack Hughs looks like he is on the Ryan Nugent Hopkins career arc out there today. Good player, 1 oa but he just doesn't have the size

 

[Ratsreign]

Well well its back to the drawing board for the Americans, as Canada's best once again prove too big, too strong, too fast, and too good.

You must have watched a different game to come to this conclusion.

 

[Guy Larose]

Team USA and leaving a Canadian open on the gold-winning goal, name a more iconic duo.

Maybe put it as a trio and add that they lost the last 2 games of the tournament.

 

[Fatass]

I’m pretty sure the U.S. is still tops in basketball.

Isn’t France #1 in BBall now?

Didn’t service went down I’m in the subway in Tokyo I’m sure you’ve been here, bye bro. Enjoy your life

Sorry about your luck. On all levels.

 

[flyfysher]

You know our top 3 defensemen of Pietrangelo, Makar and Theodore missed the first game against the US and then Morrissey missed this one?

No team is ever without injured players. That’s just the nature of hockey. Even in a tourney with all star players. That’s one reason why this tournament was like the SC run. Players with broken bones were playing in the Avs last SC run. It reflects the competition level. Add to that the matter of national pride. And the level of depth in the teams was pretty remarkable. It was like, let’s build a super team pre-cap style. That was fun!

If you showed me MacKinnon, McDavid and Stone in the same pic like that, I’d swear it was AI.

 

[ClarkSittler]

So bridesmaids both times.





Other than, I think, one World Cup of Hockey when have the 'Muricans ever beaten Canada in an international tourney?

Canada owns the U.S.A. when it comes to hockey.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Well said Marchy, I mean, it wasn't just those two idiots it was former players like Whitney who went on a rant before the tournament started saying f*** you Canada.

There was no respect for their opponent or the game itself from that whole organization past and present.

That's not cockiness, that's just being assholes.

cripes, you deserve to get humiliated when you act like that.

Terrible attitude...................and they got what they deserved from their behaviour.

wasn't a good look for U.S hockey at all this tournament.

They better learn from that.

They acted like a group that had never been there before and well....I guess they haven't.

Lol looks like a happy couple on their wedding day. Just beautiful.

Why in the hell would France be ranked over the USA in basketball? They just lost to them in the Olympics.

France shouldn’t even be ranked over Serbia and maybe a couple others.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Sorry about your luck. On all levels.

Yeah we live diff lives, but post away lol

He did get caved
Still...
The guy is a goal machine sniper
Foolish to sit him

2014 wasn’t a final but we won that one too.

 

[domiwroze]

Oh no, now that USA lost they are full of excuses and this tournament doesn't mean anything anymore and is considered '' mickey-mouse '' tourney.

Woaw, who could have guess.

Class, all around boys.

If you want to use the injury bug excuses : Canada wins the robin game against USA if Makar and Theodore arent injured, thus, it's a Finale of Canada vs Sweden. USA finishes the tournament with 2pts. Let that sink in.

 

[al secord]

Can we all agree, no more Canadian female Grammy award winners should ever sing an anthem.

 

[Thechozen1]

This is good. I mean, they can't win a Stanley cup, so this'll be nice for 'em. This and a little pat on the head should keep them pacified for a little bit.

Hate to break it you Einstein, the Stanley Cup has absolutely nothing to do with National Pride.

It’s teams in cities with players from many countries. Name me a Stanley Cup winning team without any Canadian players.

Many of those American teams that won the Stanley Cup did so with Greatly talented Canadians leading those teams.

We're gonna end up with Chad Kroeger or something instead though.

If t wasn't for Canadian coaches and players no American team would ever win a Stanley Cup.

USA would have probably beaten Sweden in that 3rd game under those opposing circumstances. Final is probably same 2 teams no matter who wins that first one
