GDT: Four Nations

[Dirtyclapper]

Marchand-Bennett-Jarvis is one of the greasiest lines Canada has ever put together for an international game

I thought the US was dominating the Finns through the first 2 periods. The 3rd period was just those chickens coming home to roost.

Didn't the US have like 2 shots in the first 15 minutes of the 2nd?

I also hope Hellebuyck does better in the playoffs, but this fanbase will be EXTREMELY spoiled with regards to the goaltending levels they expect day in and day out when Hellebuyck's play falls off or he retires. The level of play he has delivered in the regular season since he entered the league simply isn't matched by many goalies in history.

Luckily, I was a Thrashers fan while you all hopped around the NHL bandwagon to whatever team had the best goalie.

The Thrashers' best goalie was the fat and injured version of Kari Lehtonen.

GOATs like Roy and Hasek leave everyone in the dust, but Hellebuyck is arguably in the Top 5 goalies of the last 40 years (in 3rd to 5th place after the GOATs). He's not (yet?) GOAT tier, but he's definitely a true elite.

Even fat and injured Lehtonen was better than Pavelec. WTF were the Thrashers thinking?

Yeah there was a lull where nobody was doing much of anything in the 2nd. I guess it was the latter part of the 2nd when the US started to get going.

We had Pavelec for a long time and people still get on Hellebuyck's back. Sometimes expectations are too high for even what could end up being, a generational goaltender. Even Brodeur and Roy and the guys I grew up watching let in some stinkers or had bad games.

While tomorrow is a big game ... the bigger one will be in the final.
My prediction who ever wins tomorrow USA-Canada match will lose in the rematch.

Canada is going to get cornholed vs USA, the coaching is worthless, #55 is a puck grenade dangler and 44 is handcuffed to him...

I hope 44 can avoid the mess incoming.

29 and 97 are one man fail wrecking crews and 87 is doing his best to keep them afloat.

That Canada win feels like a loss.
