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

[Bonin21]

Johnson misses the net alot for an OFD

He's not really an offensive defenseman... He's a smooth skating all around D.

 

[Kezaster]

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

I'm sure there is a list being made of absent under 20 players.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Doesn’t seem to have great hockey em sense

LOL only Canadian doing anything to push offense, but ok...

 

[FMichael]

There really has been a ton of missed interference calls both ways

I say let them play.

 

[Fatass]

Don’t worry boys- we got a PP coming I can feel it!

Five on three

 

[PAZ]

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.

I noticed that too but he hasn’t been burned by it... yet.

 

[matsqq]

The general feeling is that some players in team USA are getting tired which has changed momentum.

Canada must still be wary because USA have good defense / goal-keeping and deadly counter-attacks and the next goal will be ultra-important and give one team a lot of energy ...

 

[PatrickEaves]

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.

He's a forward. Not a defenseman.

 

[End on a Hinote]

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

We didn't care about this tournament in the first place?

Wait, we don't use that one.

 

[Tw1ster]

Cozens has been damn near invisible tonight while Zegras looks scary every time he’s on the ice

 

[prizminferno]

0% chance we get a PP in the 3rd, time to nut up

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Byram is not good defensively

 

[SenzZen]

Well at least they’re a little more engaged.

I think our only hope is if the US punched themselves out and don’t have enough in the third.

They deserve every bit of the lead this far, for sure.

 

[jj cale]

They gotta play full on save your mothers life desperation hockey right from the start of next period, leave all you've got on the ice. It's their only hope.

 

[snipes]

That was a solid Canadian onslaught there, that’s how they looked pretty much all tournament.

Need to build off that in the 3rd, just get one past Knight end the shutout and another goal will come after that shutout is broken.

Just need to start by ending the shutout.

Shutout, shutout, shutout.

 

[Wendelstache]

He's big and canadian. Also he scores a lot when he plays kids half his size, what more do you need?

His speed has been questionable throughout the tournament, maybe that it will transfer better in the NHL.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

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 does a team look at Byfield and think "yeah, he's better than Stutzle" at this point?

Because you draft for 20 years, not 3 months. Big brain stuff, I know.

 

[SouthGeorge]

Canada's rattled. Finish these boys early in 3rd.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Can Canada claim "legacy" on Turcotte,Sanderson and Brisson!

 

[domiwroze]

Byram is totally braindead when he has to play Defense, his actual position.

 

[FMichael]

Don Cherry is somewhere yelling at his TV set

He's busy doing sumthin else...

 

[SenzZen]

Five on three

Ok if you insist!

 

[jcs0218]

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

The Canadian players didn't take Stelara before the game. Now they are no-shows.

 

[BMOK33]

Just saw the replay of that SH chance again, it still looks offside to me.

 

[bsu]

I hope Caufield stops turning the puck over... man he's been bad. A goal from him would suffice.
