[Gee Wally]

McDavid just amazing

 

[BTO]

Now if we can just get MacKinnon going we might have a shot.

You know what? credit where it's due to Cooper. Point off his nepotism line to ride shotgun with McDavid, Marner moved down the lineup because he's a wuss who folds any time the games become remotely meaningful

Can't even really be mad at Marchand on the 4th line given that second line has been Canada's best.

I think Marchand has been their 5th or 6th best forward.

 

[NeelyDan]

these are the canadians

get ready for these canadians

this is what happens when you try to bully the canadians

Somewhere, the Finnish version of the Don Godfather is screaming for a timeout.

Laine is so soft on the puck

He is lazy without puck

[BTO]

Thank you!

My play against the US would be to simply load up your top line and basically go "go ahead, we dare to defend this"

MacKinnon/McDavid/Point
Marchand/Crosby/Reinhart
Hagel/Cirelli/Konecny
Stone/Bennett/Marner

The Finns are trying to bully the Canadians?

 

[22Brad Park]

No Heiskanan is bigtime blow to Finns.They just don't have the depth on backend

Alternatively, possibly.

This is what Canada looks like against non aggressive/physical defensive rosters.

Finland and Sweden are very distant 3rd and 4th after USA and Canada. This tournament tells me this much.

Don't worry. My sources tell me a hot finish will allow them into the playoffs.

All you have to do is get there, after all.

Urho Vaakanainan would be the 75th best defenseman for Canada/USA.

U.S. defense and goaltending is better. Canada better offensively.

U.S. tightened up defensively and played a physical game on Saturday. It’ll be interesting to see how Copper counters on Thursday night. McDavid didn’t have much space to operate other than his one burst on his goal. It should be another great game

 

[CDJ]

Have Canada ML parlayed with US -1.5

My North America parlays simply refuse to miss! (I am 1 for 1)

 

[Alicat]

I should have never answered the phone. I missed both goals…

 

[Blitzkrug]

Heiskenen is so good i do wonder how much a difference he makes for that Finnish defense.

He's only one guy, but having a guy at the top like that makes everyone's jobs a whole lot easier. Especially since he would have gotten to play with his partner Lindell.
