GDT: Gold Medal Game Period 2 | USA vs Canada | 1/5 @ 9:30PM ET| TSN/NHLN

Don Cherry is somewhere yelling at his TV set

 

[Tw1ster]

Canadians playing like someone who’s never played the EA games and throwing everything blindly into the crease hoping for a tap in

 

[NyQuil]

Well, a little better but not enough.

Americans are guarding the front of the net very well.

A lot of the shots are fired from the perimeter and those Canadians who do stand around near the cage are kept busy.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Johnson misses the net alot for an OFD

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Given Canada always scores tieing goals in the final minute of game... States need at least one more goal for a cushion.

Croatia called, they want their checkers back

 

[Stive Morgan]

Can Canada recruit Marie-Philip Poulin for the 3rd period please

 

[Erikfromfin]

Lazy play by Byram wanted icing and stopped skating... free chance for Usa

 

[SI90]

Canada pushed hard the 2nd half of that period.

USA needs to play smart hockey. Keep pucks deep and don’t let anyone get behind them. Forecheck hard and go to work.


Let’s bring home this gold!

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

How in the world was Byfield drafted 2nd overall...

Lmao he was literally drafted like 5 minutes ago. He plays differently than Stuztle.

 

[TimeZone]

This is as bad of a choke job as I can remember in recent years.

Inexcusably bad performance from "ThE bEsT tEaM sInCe 05"

This team gets run through the f***ing mud by the 2015 Canadian squad.

 

[MattySnipes]

He hasn't had it all tournament minus beating up on Switzerland during a 10-0 win. I'm sure he'll figure it, but how do you look at Byfield and think "yeah, he's better than Stutzle" at this point?

I take the hulking C with muscle and soft hands. Everytime. He's growing still, will fill in. I think he's gonna be real good for the Kings. They just have to be a bit patient.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

No crowd, bad refs, coaching, poor players chosen, no Lafrenierre? Lets hear the excuses.

 

[Three On Zero]

Byram just bolts the zone every f***ing shift before it's even full control.. this dude needs to chill and get a controlled exit first.

Doesn’t seem to have great hockey em sense

 

[canuck2010]

I was disgusted when I starting hearing that. One game to go and that shit starts.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Pretty difficult to just take half the game off and then try and comeback on a goalie like Knight. Really disappointing performance.

 

[agent082]

Usa is just like old Finland. Dominate and then stop playing and give opportunity. So stupid. Just keep dominating.

 

[780il]

Good pushback. Now f***ing bury it.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

alright boys, don't go into the shell like last night keep pushing for the next one

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Wtf were the D doing. Almost caused a goal.

Byram and Drysdale look great in the offensive zone, and complete liabilities in their own ends.

 

[kudla]

I just can't get over Byfields skill and athlecism. Ive never seen a 6'5 guy skate like that

 

[King'sPawn]

Has anybody else noticed that....

Ginger papa likes more posts than anyone else on the site?

I need Ginger Papa to like this to confirm.

Edit: confirmed

 

[Smif]

Said it before the game and took some heat from it but USA has the edge in net and its showing. Knight is locked right in this game.

I've seen a post by Canada and a lucky goal by US where the puck should've went around the net but it hit the net cam. Should be 1-1 with some puck luck, not one goalie outplaying the other imo.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Disney-

 

[Machinehead]

For a few of these players, this will be their biggest 20 minutes.

 

[Sean Garrity]

US did a good job "weathering the storm". Now they just gotta play a full 60 minutes, bear down, don't grip the stick too hard, do the little things, get pucks in deep, play smart, protect the house, and stay out of the box and their good.
