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

Isn’t it 18 in Canada?

Unfair advantage. Game is fraudulent. We win.

Sorry that's just how we do it in the US.

 

[NyQuil]

Isn’t it 18 in Canada?

It varies by province.

For example, Quebec is 18 and Ontario is 19.

So for a year, 18 year olds in Ottawa cross the bridge and go to seedy clubs on the other side of the river.

18 in Alberta!

 

[SlafCaufield]

Canfield is Jordan Schroeder 2.0

nice cans in your pic

 

[Number 57]

That USA top-6 forwards though

 

[Oilslick941611]

Good game so far though

 

[Fire Benning]

Canada wins easily ! USA overmatched and got lucky !

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Isn’t it 18 in Canada?

It's done provincially, and in Alberta it's 18.

 

[JPeeper]

US is also shortening their bench. They are running with top 2 lines

Guhle and Schinder are just to slow carrying the puck out. US D carries the puck out, we try to pass it out

Schneider sucks, I have no idea how he was a high first round pick. If Byram and Drysdale aren't on the ice, it's a struggle to get an outlet pass from the d-men.

 

[El Travo]

Isn’t it 18 in Canada?

19 in most provinces. 18 in the degenerate ones.

 

[Oleksiak]

The refs let them play in the first

The only non call I would question was Schneider early in the game against the boards in the US zone.

Kaliyev should have a diving penalty for that. Glad the refs didn't fall for that garbage.

to me this isn't a good thing, our second line has done nothing 5 on 5 most games, Beniers will be good but he is playing a very generic game and Caufield I am not gonna start arguing about.

Standard WHL type playoff reffing for a junior game in Canada.

Obvious shit gets called (tripping, high sticking, blatant hits from behind, etc.) but the rough stuff gets allowed with some leeway, tick tack penalties aren’t really called.

Standard North American hockey reffing in playoffs/knockouts. It’s mostly Europeans who whine about the lack of calls, I think NA hockey fans are used to letting it go a bit during playoff/knockout hockey.

reported enjoy the ban kid !

 

[Mikeshane]

The American's defensemen feel confident holding the blue line because Canada's breakout is so weak so far. Most of the other teams Canada has played were more conservative teams that backed out of the offensive zone to be in defensive position.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Canada looked unsure and jittery!Take the man in your own Zone Canada!

 

[Minnesnota]

US haven't been shortening their bench. Go look at the TOI charts.

 

[Static]

One more assist and zegras holds the all-time record for americans on his own.

 

[Number 57]

If Quinn isn't injured he will bust. He sucks at both zone exits and entries which are quite crucial as a center or really any modern NHLer.

If he busts and Rossi becomes something.... wow. What a mistake by BUF

 

[snipes]

I would hope not. These kids are under 21!

Drinking age is 18 in Alberta lol

 

[Kezaster]

Yeah super lucky, no sustained pressure. Canada can't loose.

 

[Anichels]

Aside from *The Shift* (you know the one) I thought Canada played pretty well overall.

US gained a bunch of momentum after that.

Levi played solid.
Cozens is playing his worst game, maybe nervous?

 

[Finster8]

Have to play the guys who are playing hard tonight. We are getting out coached so far. He has his favorites but has to make something happen.

Like every person who have restrictions, they cross the river

Yep. Refs have done a fantastic job this tournament. Much better than usual.
