I meant to post it earlier, but then I forgot, the game started, and people started posting in here, so I just edited the thread, haha.

Craig Button going to bat for William Moore and whining about Murtagh missing the net once (as the only guy putting shots anywhere near the net) is certainly a choice.

2-1 Canada

I haven't seen this many scrums since a 1980's Battle of Alberta, lol

This game is more fun than any NHL game I've watched this season.

Craig is trying to justify his ranking of Moore. I’ve never liked Moore’s game at all.

The US came out very physical at the beginning of the game yesterday, but started fading when the game was out of reach. Someone from the US team was interviewed and he said they needed to maintain the physicality throughout the game, so I'm not hugely surprised this is how the game is going. It's only 2-1, so it's closer than yesterday, but the shots are 19-5 in CHL favor.

Nor I. But I think Button is gassing him up for the Toronto angle.

This is ugly.

I absolutely love how fiery the whole game is, closest thing to a modern line brawl at the end of the second.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

I don’t like the Misa-Desnoyer-Martone line composition. Seems like too many puck possession players. It’s difficult for them to find chemistry together

He started with him high because he had 12 points at the u17s last year and refuses to change anything. He’ll have him in his first round until after the u18s this year

Tie game somehow.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

I had a feeling US would tie it up, despite being massively outshot

 

[Dominance]

Effective strategy of letting our goalie go 30 minutes without seeing a puck. They’ve got us right where they wanted!

 

[Woodrow]

Craig Button is pretty good at stringing a bunch of sentences together that mean absolutely nothing.

I still havent liked TC's intensity tonight, they seem less hungry and are playing down to this U.S teams level.

Well, it was a closer 3rd, but that was a bullet by Reschney

I thought Spence might have been the hero there again, but I'll take it

 

[MichaelFarrell]

I’ll tell you what. Kashawn Aitcheson is a really tough guy when it comes to taking on players below 5’9”.

Despite that, I felt he was much more noticeable than Jackson Smith or Cam Reid. I just wish Carter Amico could’ve played. He really could’ve made a difference in a physical series.
