Spanking. Canada is next.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

I like to sum it up as "poor life choices"

Alright, I was being nice, but now that's out the door.

I don’t think USA dominated as much as the score was. They got some bounces in the third. Tkachuks goal on the pp from the point with no one in front was weak. Expecting a much closer game on Saturday. It’s nice to have pride but stay humble

From the moment they flipped the lines around and put the Tkachuk brothers with Eichel that game seemed to flip. The score reflected the gap once the lines were mixed. I think the next game will be extremely close, but they seemed to find better combinations then put the pedal down.

Keep in mind the only goal Finland scored should also be considered weak.

Nobody's scared, it's all in your head.

Flexing hard when Finland was up 1-0, but now resorting to 2010 as some sort of flex. Love it.

I think we're just coming in here because we just watched the game.... and this is a hockey forum.

Hey now wait a minute, I welcome my American overlords.

Thanks for copy pasting your previous post but there's no telling how much difference swapping Heiskanen makes in this game or the upcoming two. Going from 7 all star players on defense to 7 does not make as much of a difference as going from 1 all star player to zero. Heiskanen can play half the game if they want him to. No one will take someone seriously if they try blaming USA losing on Quinn Hughes not playing. Heiskanen would have made a huge difference tonight

This is precisely the entire point. You really think Heiskanen prevents USA from pouring it on tonight? He’s a great defender don’t get me wrong but you’re acting like he’s Bobby Orr. Team USA might legitimately lose to Canada by a goal in which case everyone might say “Hughes could have won them the game”. No chance would that be a talking point with Heiskanen tonight.

Hey, there’s been references to 2002, 2004, 2010, 2014 and 2016.

Hope we destroy the US on Saturday

Finland…

Jack Eichel gotta be the squirreliest lookin mf in the league

Straight up looks like Marv from Home Alone.

Ya, but we (at least rational people) aren't talking about 10 years ago, we're talking about today, 2025.

Here's for the 2002,2004,2010,2016 crowd: The History of Hockey

I think we're just coming in here because we just watched the game.... and this is a hockey forum.

There’s a bit of both. If the result tonight was flipped, for example, it’d be no different, just fanbases reversed

HF fans are an entity of their owned and regardless of which NHL team or national team they cheer for, 9 out of 10 act the exact same way.

USA has disgusting amount of skill and speed. Too bad we don't get more games from these rosters. Canada USA 7 game series would be lit.

Based on the first few games it seems like USA=?Canada>Swe>Fin. Don't sleep on Sweden they have a great defense.

Finland seems to play twice as hard against Sweden so I won’t be sleeping on them either.
