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

[Smif]

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

I think he wanted Levi to pass it up to him.

 

[HanSolo]

yep Hope he busts and is out of tghe league in 3 years that better?

Much better, thanks.

 

[Eggtimer]

Mercer line looking good each shift . It’s going to take a greasy goal to beat Knight it looks like

 

[domiwroze]

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

Yes he has, look USA's second goal, 100% on Byram.

 

[Fatass]

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

No pineapple on the pregame pizza!

 

[Goon42]

Zegras is an absolute unit

 

[Mats26]

Ginger Papa is a bot

 

[JackSlater]

USA controlled the first half of that period, Canada the second. Canada will need to take control of the third. Tall order as the US looks ready to strike quickly but it is doable. Credit to USA so far, especially for having won most of the battles.

Stop fishing

A gracious winner here.

If Team USA wins...

The Producers of Miracle on Ice are going to sue for Copyright Infringement after this game.

 

[snipes]

i swear it's just open season on americans away from the puck

There have been some absolutely massive hits this game, the crowd would have been going nuts there.

This is a good hockey game. Canada finally started playing the proper way in the latter half of the period, feels like the momentum is shifting.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

One more period then It’s back to bragging on curling

 

[bsu]

I fear USA is getting tired from the extra shifts...

 

[Crosbyfan]

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.

Did someone mention shutout?

 

[El Travo]

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.

He also can't skate for shit which is one of the biggest factors in whether someone will be good or great. I can see him carving out a career where he's considered really good but never a top player. I hope I'm wrong because I'd rather see talent succeed to their fullest extent, but he's already bigger than everyone out there and doesn't utilize it. He even said himself that he doesn't play the physical game and models his game after Malkin.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Levi sucks

 

[604]

As a Canadian, I'm frustrated with TSN wondering if this is the greatest team ever pre-game then, once they are down 2-0, noting that they lost a key player to injury in the pre-tourney games for no particular reason.

1) The US is playing great and outplaying Canada to this point. No bones about it. Game is still within reach though.

2) Team Canada with Crosby and Bergeron was the best Team Canada ever. This team isn't even close to that one.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Americans are too much and Canada doesn't have an answer!

 

[BTP]

3rd period comeback

 

[flyersfan018]

Game is far from over but Canada hasn’t showed a ton that makes me think they’ll come back.

 

[Rob]

If Team USA wins...

The Producers of Miracle on Ice are going to sue for Copyright Infringement after this game.

Hyperbole

 

[Spilot23]

I thought this was the deepest team Canada ever iced in WJC and yet the best scoring chances came from dmans

 

[snipes]

Did someone mention shutout?

Knight has a shutout going, might never be scored on again for the rest of his hockey career with this shutout.

 

[Fatass]

Ginger Papa is a bot

What’s a bot? Gingerbread man?
