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

[The New Russian Five]

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.

Canadians complaining about a cam being in the way during a gold medal game. That's rich.

Have to keep the faith and hope we get one by him for the next goal then take it from there.

Finland looked better against the States.... Hockey math does not compute

Game isn’t over yet.

 

[Snippit]

McDavid, MacKinnon and Lafreniere are better.

One of these is not like the other...

It's okay you can swap that one out for Crosby and it still applies

 

[SouthGeorge]

Has USA Hockey surpassed Canada hockey? Matthews/Eichel are going to dominate next Olympics too.

Yes. If USA wins this game they run hockey.

 

[780il]

That’s just so wrong

What can I say I’m desperate

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

1 goal and the floodgates open.

Canada was coming on, just need 1 to go in.

 

[Fatass]

It's a 2-0 game. Far from over.

Could easily be 5-0. The US kids are very skilled, and we are pressing. Those chances are going to get buried.

 

[RJJ]

Zegras talked a big game and is backing it up with a great performance. He is a difference maker.
Liked the end of the 2nd from the Canadians though, need to build off it in the 3rd.
A little OT would be fun....

not even good trolling

 

[NorCalhockey]

Because most of those instances the kids grow up in the states. If you’re raised somewhere you’re going to have more of a connection to that place. If AustonMathews has a son born today and he plays for the leafs the next 10+ years and his kid is raised in Canada he’s probably going to feel like a Canadian.

Understandable but how often does a kid born/raised in Canada with a
non Canadian dad choose to play for Canada instead of Finland, Sweden, US, etc.?

...McDavid, Crosby, MacK and Point enter the chat...

Doughty here, I need permission to get in the chat. Help me out boys?

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Zegras has been the game MVP though for sure. Been making great plays on both ends. Also props to American defense. Not having a challenging game but they're doing every little thing right and denying the forces that Canada is trying to put on net or through the crease. No easy sticks on pucks.

Keep playing the way they did in the second half of that period.

Just need all out relentless hockey here.

 

[agent082]

If USA wins I just hope canadians don't try to downplay the game and are good losers. It has been a great game.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

As an America, I enjoyed him skating himself out of the play leading to the second goal.

Just to watch Sanderson step up in on cousins to keep it in. The effort in defense has been night and day by the Canadians vs Americans.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

McDavid, MacKinnon and Lafreniere are better.

Have you seen Team Canada? Best those two can hope for is to help narrow the gap

I was told this team was more skilled and would dominate too.

 

[SenzZen]

Knight is settled in so let’s get greasy!!!

 

[Smif]

Ironic, no doubt. Still happened.

 

[Fatass]

Watching the pace of this game and I’m certain the future of hockey in North America and the NHL is in good hands.

Outstanding pace, physicality, and skill on display in the game. It’s been an entertaining game.

Oh yes. These kids are crazy good.

 

[MattySnipes]

Coz gotta make that passsss

 

[Stormcrow]

Slow.....ffs skate!

 

[robertmac43]

Boys are on it out of the gate.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Wrong. The Zegras goal was kind of a broken play and Byram made a good play behind the net to get it up the boards. Otherwise there hasn't been much to say Byram was in the US end for the majority of his shifts.

EDIT: just clued in you're a Sens fan. It's clear now.

If you think everyone criticizing Byram in this thread are Sens fans, I don't know what to tell you.
