HF Habs: PGT: 4 Nations Face-Off: Canada wins inaugural Championship, 3-2 (OT) over USA

[MarkovsKnee]

New thread for the final game.

It hasn't always been pretty, but Canada made it to the final game against USA, who have been the best team in this tournament.

Round Robin game was 3-1 US, but there are 2 lineup changes from that game:

Charlie McAvoy is out for US
Cale Makar is in for Canada

Binnington vs Helleybuck in net.

GO CANADA GO!!

I initially wasn't too interested in this tournament but that has changed in a big way.

Smoking some wings tonight and making a massive tray of nachos.

This game means a little more than it would have a month ago. For obvious reasons.

 

[David Suzuki]

you know i’m happy caufield isn’t on this team

 

[WeThreeKings]

Binnington being the 'best' option is such a crime.

This tournament has been fun. Great idea.

Go Canada Go!

Changed my avatar to a temporarily patriotic one for tonight! I encourage you to do the same!

McAvoy is a huge loss to the USA. Surprised to see Kocency get scratched for Jarvis

if one, and I mean just one stupid announcer says a team canada player's heart is in the shape of a Maple Leaf, I'm throwing poo at the TV

 

[McGees]

I hope we turn the US into the 11th province tonight.

f*** les States tabarnak.

 

[HuGort]

I am predicting Americans will get us. Canada goaltending let's them down.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Yeah Binnington is costing tonight , should be a good game but we will all go to bed very sad

 

[Milhouse40]

Have to agree on that one.
Both teams are pretty much equal except for goaltending.

Once we had such a great list to pick from back in the days from Brodeur to Price to freaking Binnington

I said before, it’s starting to remind me of the Canada/Soviet days.

I think Perry’s dad played for the Tigers and Arber used to work at Costco.

Jeff Petry’s father Dan was a starting pitcher for Tigers including 1984 championship teams starting rotation w Jack Morris & Milt Wilcox as an 18game winner

 

[BergevinBurner]

I have faith they'll solve Hellebuyck tonight.

MacKinnon/Makar and the Avs managed to make him look like swiss cheese last year in the playoffs with a 5.23 GAA. Give them McDavid and Crosby to work with and I'm sure they'll figure it out.

If you gave a hockey fan the first 3 picks for a winner-take-all game, I bet McDavid, MacKinnon, Crosby, Makar would be on the majority of ballots. That’ll be the difference.

Can't understate how big of a difference Makar should make here

 

[Redux91]

God what a big game
Been much too long in terms of 'best on best international play'

I'm excited and nervous which is unexpectedly weird lol
Would be great to snatch this away from the Americans after that letdown at the Bell Center which should of been a huge night for us and the country

Figure out a way boys, won't be easy

3-2 Canada ... OT would be wild lol

 

[waitin425]

My colon is telling me this is going to overtime.

Totally this. We have the three best players in the game and Crosby.
