GDT: Four Nations Face-Off

[Johnnyduke]

Would have been nice for the US to play both Sweden and Finland in Boston/United States but I understand the need to try and balance the competitive advantage. I am still having a difficult time with the general idea of only 4 countries in this. But a nice warmup for next Olympics.

Good Luck to Charlie Mac and Sway (if he ever plays)

 

[Blitzkrug]

They booed the Swedes, which I don't understand, other than Canadians are so pissed with the nonsense about the 51st state crap, that they are champing at the bit to boo the Americans. It is going to be thunderous.

And after today's events? The Fins are about to become the most beloved people in Canada for the next 2 and half to 3 hours.

Canadians, especially Montrealers don't play this shit. They nearly came over the guardrails for a wrestler disrespecting the country and flag in 1997 and that was fake. Now imagine the reaction tonight.

 

[Ladyfan]

I hope this only makes the crowd at the garden cheer even louder for the Canadian national anthem. Maybe they could even have the governor in attendance

Don't hold your breath. They will be screaming "USA" all night in Boston.

 

[Johnnyduke]

The US has overtaken Canada at the World Junior stage...the time is now for the senior team!

For those who are just tuning in tonight...

Ron MacLean telling a story about Ryan Miller carrying a piece of shrapnel in his gear from a soldier at the Olympics in 2010. Full-on awkward "please don't make me comment on this anecdote" stare from the rest of the panel.

Probably not the best time, Ronnie lmao.

Mac!!!

 

[Kate08]

Matthew’s and McAvoy getting the biggest boos

 

[RoccoF14]

Those Finland sweaters are sick.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Fins better win, their coach look like he is about to kill someone.

 

[PlayMakers]

That was really classy Montreal, asking the fans to "respect the anthems in the spirit of a game that unites us all."

They didn't have to do that, and it saved the Americans from a chorus of boos.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Credit to the Montreal locals. They are respecting the anthems more as asked.

Was expecting boos anyways, surprised!

It’s the polite Canadian thing. Can’t deny a polite request.

or the sound in the arena is turned down

 

[Blitzkrug]

As someone who has watched far too much Wrestling in their life, i know exactly what it sounds like when they screw with the audio feed to either mute or amplify the reaction they want.

There were boos.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

First, showing 10 replays of a routine Tkachuk hit felt like overkill.

Then an immediate scrum. I just may watch this.

Oh I’m sure there were, but was expecting much worse

Bully them! USA USA USA

Is that Urho putting Tkachuk in a headlock? Love it
