This says everything. A team vs a bunch of individuals.

Hate to say it, but this is an instant classic photo for me tbh

surely this will usher in a new generation of international hockey where Canadian hype is replaced with modesty

surely

I said this in the Finland/Russia game, but I really like the Captain giving out the medals. Especially with the Silver medal, having your captain give it to you versus some IIHF suit after a loss, think it makes it better.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

What a masterpiece game executed by USA

 

[Bondurant]

I dunno, the old Soviet Anthem is probably the best of all time!

The closing credits of Red Heat is epic.

 

[David Suzuki]

Did he do anything besides stare at the ceiling the whole game? Didn’t see him talk to players once.

Lol i can't believe he put the goalie back in with 145 with an offensive zone faceoff lol

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Its hard, I can’t say the states weren’t lucky f***ing 2 great bounces on their goals but they earned them.

 

[Loffer]

Wow. Unbeatable Goliath has been slain by unbreakable Knight and his devouted henchmen on a three act combat on slippery ice somewhere in Alberta 3-0. Congrats to The ones who made it happen or cheered along the way. Quite a feat.

 

[The Promised Land]

Canada has won gold medals at this level by their fantastic heavy forecheque alone and USA's passing skills pretty much just made it non-existent tonight. This USA team could go down as the best passing unit I've ever watched in hockey or at least the junior level....it was CCCP-esque.

Yikes...is this a joke? USA were competent passers but best passing unit ever at the junior level? LOL.

 

[NyQuil]

Kinight did NOTHING. There were NO scoring chances.

Wow, ok.

Adamant.

 

[Machinehead]

People talked about Canada's performance in history, and rightfully so, but hell of a statement by these US kids as well.

Certainly our best performance imo.

 

[McJedi]

Congrats Yanks!

Zegras is still as a—-hole. He’ll get his eventually.

Yea. He’ll sign some big ass contracts in the NhL. He’ll get his.

 

[Kezaster]

What an effort by the us, they just didn't give canada anything.

 

[JPeeper]

I predict none of those team Canada forwards will become offensive game breakers in the NHL.

The only one I could see is Dach and he wasn't even in the tournament officially.

I can't see anyone else topping out above 50 point guys.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

The ultimate choke job from Canada. I mean have you ever seen so many bad decisions? It's mind boggling. Truly pathetic performance, the win was there but they had no heart.

Canada wasn't tested until today, they played like front runners today, they didn't know what to do when playing from behind

 

[The S5]

Better team won.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

He was not wrong with his second statement. Canada was on their heels for a good chunk of the game and looked like they were skating in quicksand.

 

[blindpass]

Congrats to the US team -- they played a phenomenal game.

Can we agree that the tournament should be officiated by an all Canadian crew every year? It was a well called game and tournament without the absurd number of bizarre calls (not saying biased) we normally get. They certainly let them play today.

 

[SI90]

Damn, Byram is killing me.

 

[dm1371]

Man that game from Canada left me on my appetite for sure, but US played unreal, just perfect defensive game. All the credits to them, they didn't steal it tonight. Congrats to team USA for their deserved gold medal! Now on to NHL activity!

 

[SKNJD9]

Byfield is one of the most overrated prospects I've seen in my life.

Facts

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Classy by Byram. Hurting like hell on the inside, but presenting the medals.

 

[RoadWarrior]

Niemelä best dman of tourney
Stützle best forward of tourney

Zegras tourney MVP

Give the leafs scouting staff credit for drafting high IQ players with heart no matter their size. Hirvonen had a strong finish to the tournament as well.

 

[Speatleysson]

What a great game - congrats to the US!

Knight did nothing except get tha SO
