GDT: Exhibition • United States vs. Canada • 7:00 PM ET • 01:00 CET

[Nocashstyle]

Embarrassing.

How so? It's a scrimmage and there's legitimate college football tonight. I'm surprised they've even went through the lengths to televised these pre tournament games.

 

[gtpeli2]

Team USA is going to get crushed. Such a lousy roster.

 

[Satan]

Torts is gonna bench me because I knelt for the anthems

 

[BusQuets]

Kessel injured?

 

[jj cale]

What do you guys think of Duchene/Giroux being on the same line as Thornton? That's three centres that can all play a sound game defensively but Thornton's slower than the other two. Wouldn't Seguin fit better on that line and Thornton on the Toews line?

Thornton can potentially work the puck down low for nice feeds to Giroux when he is open.

Do people seriously usually stand up for them at home? Wow just wow, I say.

 

[Episkey]

Stoked to see five Sharks in this game.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Hulk Hogan theme

 

[McYoungGuns]

*yawn* we simply cant lose in any best vs best tourney

 

[jj cale]

Don't worry, they will play well against Canada, paper rosters usually don't mean all that much when these two countries play.

 

[Shrimper]

Kessel injured?

He wasn't even selected by USA. But he will miss out now any way due to an injury he got in the play-offs. If selected he would have played.

 

[Kurt Cobain]

Team NA didn't get anyone singing their anthem...



Grit.

Grit and turnovers galore.

 

[Dog]

Do people seriously usually stand up for them at home? Wow just wow, I say.

I stand up for all of the anthems usually.

I knelt today though, show my respect for Kaepernick

 

[SniperHF]

Quality music selection

Grit and turnover galore.

Yeah the grit talking point on the pre-game here was a tad cringey.

I understand putting it on ESPN U but they wanted to commit to this event and a tape delay set for 1am is embarrassing. This may just be an exhibition but it's one of the biggest international rivalries in hockey. Or at least the most relevant to those in the United States. Friendlies between Mexico and the US in soccer get primetime attention on ESPN.

At the least they could put the tape delay during a time where most people aren't asleep.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Romanuk ughhhhh

 

[Canucks LB]

Question: is there gonna be a training camp and long preseason still?

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Cmon ESPN with this audio.

I have to agree. I can't stand ESPN but can't blame them. They have a busy Friday schedule tonight so they gotta fit programming where they can.

 

[fahad203]

Looks slow compare to last night.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Getzlaf is still terrible. What happened to him

 

[jj cale]

Marchand elects to shoot on the 2 on 1.

No dice.

 

[Beerz]

Are we going to have the stupid offside challenge in this tournament?

 

[Tom Brady]

Romanuk ughhhhh

Yep, the guy is terrible, his voice is ruining this game for me.
