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

[SI90]

Imagine if we had more players like Zegras making comments like that before each game. Imagine how much more exciting, impassioned, and heated rivalries would get. We need more of that in the NHL.

It wasn’t even bad what he said. Just said he didn’t think Levi was too tested 5vs5 and that he was confident USA could do it. And he was right.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Canada should be proud? They shamed their country with that performance.

The Islanders forums is also successful to a limited degree.

Shamed their country? May be the worst take ive seen on here in years.

 

[Based Anime Fan]

Man, there as some salty and upset Canadian fans in here.

Get over it, we lost, and the team wasn't the powerhouse we thought it was.

Humble in victory, gracious in defeat.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Took Canada too long to get going, they tilted the ice in the 2nd half of the game but USA just gave them nothing. We couldn't buy one - they played it perfectly with the lead.

USA has had a great 15 years in the World Juniors, but just wait until the Olympics.. then we'll see who's still king.

Congrats America!

 

[The Jones Zone]

Great tournament but alas... Canada had it way to easy. USA had to fight to get there and it showed with their play.

This is a great take away.

Canada not having played a close game all tournament hurt them tonight

 

[780il]

Time to go watch the 2015 game to make myself feel better

 

[Lt Dan]

Hey! Its Enrico Pallazo!

 

[SRHRangers]

Caufield reached for the cup but he missed it high and wide.

This killed me.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Usually I'm still proud of our boys in defeat like in 2017 after a breathtaking 5-4 SO defeat.

But this was abysmal, no excuse to have played that poorly after how well they played all tournament.

This team reminds me of the Canada teams from 2002-2004, steamrolling through the group stage and medal rounds and collapsing in the GMG.

I seriously think Hockey Canada should have another summit, we need to fix this problem

Nah it's a winner take all game. The US are really good. No shame in losing, especially when the team lost the probable best player going into the tournament (Dach) and couldn't get permission for either Laf or Power to camp.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

GG Canada. Ultimately I think your ease of schedule the resulting cockiness did you in.

 

[redcard]

Kings fans must be disappointed in their prospect pools performance. Only one who was decent was Turcotte

Lol, not even close.

 

[John Agar]

I need some of that canadian weed

When this Covid shit is all over...

Come visit weed be glad to share...

 

[NyQuil]

That's not why nearly all of Canada's shots were at Knights chest.

You're right.

If they had all been top corner we would have won the game.

Good tip.

 

[nickdawg95]

These kids crack me up " WherES mY HAAAAT"

Pfft, were you watching any of the other games? Our prospects as a whole had a pretty outstanding performance. You are leaning a little hard on young, bottom 6, Byfield.

Goes to show that it's "big talk" to say that they were gonna be the biggest test for Canada. Get some hate in hockey!!!

 

[mattydamon]

Disappointing loss and anticlimactic for sure for the boys in red but that is how she goes sometimes.

Full props to US though they played like they wanted it more and they deserved it.

Lmao. How will we sleep at night knowing these games determined their futures?!

 

[IDuck]

Great tournament but alas... Canada had it way to easy. USA had to fight to get there and it showed with their play.

So funny because its true. They had the most cupcake schedule and bragged about how great they were after only playing 1 tough team in RR (who was on a b2b). Not to mention they played at the exact same time EVERY game except this one.

 

[End on a Hinote]

You're right.

If they had all been top corner we would have won the game.

Good tip.

I probably am right.

 

[Bonin21]

I hate to say it but they were harmonizing with the few guys who knew every word.

Our anthem is kinda a mess lyrics and flow wise

 

[Machinehead]

 

[ElysiumAB]

Stop bullying a bunch of Canadian kids and start acknowledging how well the US played tonight.

I truly hope you're one of their parents.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Better teams lose one game take alls lol. Credit to the USA they played better tonight and deserved the win. But if you honestly think that the USA roster is better youre lost man

They have a better goalie and more defined roles. Proved they were the better team. Having first round draft picks play depth roles they aren't as good at it catches up to you in a game like this. They were better down the middle of the ice right down to the goalie, that usually pays off.
