LOL fans as in huge corporate sponsors who come to games in suits and spend the entire game on their phones watching the market.

What I think is the Binnington was better than Helle in this high stakes game.
So kachuk dresses when hurt and can get in only 6 minutes?
You'd think someone could have dressed that could've taken a regular shift?
Selfish, very selfish.

Followed along here during the tournament, but wasn't too invested in it. So thanks for keeping me updated and entertained!
Looking forward to resuming our regular programming...

Hellebuyck clearly saw all three shots and was beaten cleanly... WTF. Never mind seeing the puck, I can't even see Hellebuyck.

This week cemented it for me too. JoMo definitely the 2nd best Canadian defenseman.

SN crew mentioned many a time last night that Joshua was missing from the backend last night and the positive factor that he was especially when Makar was out.

it's weird I've seen more people blaming helle here then the main boards...

A pint of dark matter, please.
Narrow mindedness, navel gazing, stubborn comfort.
Helle kept his team in it the first half of the game while Jordan was scrambling all.over the place creating chaos for his.
Helle was beaten on a world class shot to the top corner in OT by a player alone in the slot. No one was saving that one. Blame Mathews for leaving his check to triple team Mitch.

It's a weird take, for sure. Goal one - screened (they showed a good replay angle during the game and you can tell he doesn't see it until it's right on top of him). Goal two - short side roof on a play he had to be ready to move laterally. Goal three - McD right in the slot, uncontested.
Not to mention the 2 or 3 or 4 times Canada crashed the crease and he kept the puck out.

This looks like the entire Colorado series doesn’t it.
Listening to Kevin Woodley on Illegal Curve (great segment) and he said that the most dangerous scoring chances in the league are this play (multi layered screen with a high shot that gets through). It has a higher success rate than break always.
Hellebuyck gave up 1 goal to Canada in the first game and 2 goals in regulation in the final the first of which (See photo) he had zero chance on. He can be better in the playoff for us but he was very very good in this tourney.
Also note to Jets, don’t let this play happen over and over in the playoffs again this year please and thank you.

Binnington made a few 4 alarm saves, but he looked awkward too! It was kinda crazy! If I looked at that game from a goalie coach perspective, I'd say Helly was better with the technicals.
He reminded me of Pavelic. It was a typical Ondrej game. Chaos mixed with some amazing scrambling saves.
Matthews and Adam Fox with the textbook puck watching film example. It was like they were magnetized to the puck screaming over to defend Marner.
McDavid had time to pack a lunch and then rip that thing upstairs top shelf.
Mind boggling stuff.

Some home fans do have baggage when it comes their own stars.

Ya! It's very hard to be critical.....I mean Hasek made a great career playing like that
Not a chance that he saw McKinnon's shot. The Bennett goal was a perfect shot. Hellebuyck had to be prepared for Bennett to cut across the crease, but he roofed it in a perfect spot. He probably wants the McDavid goal back. It was wide open from the slot but if he was in perfect position and stance he makes that save most of the time. The problem on that play was the US team puck-watching. Matthews should have been focused more on protecting the slot there, instead of chasing the puck into the corner while Canada had possession.

Bah.....I have no such baggage. USA would have won with KFC playing though. Huge mistake

Canada annexes 4 Nations Championship
BOSTON, MA – The Canadian men’s hockey team has successfully seized the 4 Nations hockey championship from their American opponents, completing their annexation of the trophy nearly halfway through the first overtime period.

I thought JoMo had a great tournament and solidified himself on the Olympic team imo.
Helle had a great tournament as well, was a rock every game he played.
I feel for KC, just couldn't get his game going and got rendered to the 13th forward.
I think we have two players that can draw a lot of confidence from this event and another who probably has a chip on his shoulder.

One player that was underwhelming to me was Fox. He just seemed to lack the pace to make an impact with the puck and wasn't able to handle the speed and size of Canadian forwards in his zone.
Probably the most perplexing decision last night goes to Sullivan and that USA staff....
Was happy from a Canadian fan perspective to see KFC scratched to rest him. That said, they sit KFC for Kreider, who ultimately ends up playing a grand total of 6:25 last night.
Hindsight is 20/20 -- but this also coincides with the fact that Matt Tkachuk clearly was battling an injury, which they would have known the extent of over the last few days, and he decides to suit up, but only plays 6:47.
I understand Connor had his struggles at points in the role given, but essentially, the USA played with 10 forwards last night, leaving one of the most potent goal scorers up in the press box.
You were always going to be hard pressed to compete in a game like that if it went into deep waters playing two forwards short all game.
Pretty crazy.

That puck went inches behind Reinhart's butt as he moved across in front of Hellebuyck. Impossible to react and the puck hit the top corner.
