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

[NJ Fan 12]

So what does +270 mean? What does -335 mean?

I believe it refers to the amount you have to wager to receive a similar amount but a regular bettor can explain it more clearly.

Wow... I never knew that. I've never seen a privately owned arena in Canada other than the NHL arenas and in most cases the city owns those too. Every community arena I've ever been inside has been city owned and subsidized....

Seriously? I've seen plenty of privately-owned arenas in Canada (Quebec and Ontario)
Public are very (or more) common mind you

 

[FinlandPanther]

If you are talking about Knight.being better than Levi in todays game... you better start packing.

In general.

Big reason why any players on the U.S teams not from the Midwest/Northeast are noted for their birthplace and youth teams. Nontraditional markets need a massive investment in rinks just to lower the cost of youth hockey.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Really hope this doesn't end in a shootout

Why don’t they change that? Surely for one game they could make an exception to the rule. This tournament should not be decided in a skills contest.

 

[DAkings20]

Should be a fun flight

[The Blue Baron]

If the US scores first, Canada will crack. Levi is not a championship caliber goaltender. I like our chances with Knight.

 

[SRHRangers]

Realist here.

USA has a punchers chance, but have to land the haymaker to have a shot.

6-3 Canada (begrudgingly)

Can someone PM and a stream for tn it’s for my buddy he’s got 14 day quarantine for the military out in Manitoba and couldn’t find a stream last night

Kings prospects should code red the Ducks prospects... or at least give them a wedgie!

 

[cleveland408]

Levi could become the next Saros if he continues to develop. Dunno why so many people wrote him off in this thread.

Not a gambler but it's compared to a $100.

-300 means you have to bet $300 to win $100. +300 means if you bet $100 you'll win $300.

I think anyway

You are correct.

 

[The Blue Baron]

We take their gold medal. Then wake up with their birds and go to Timmys in the morning. Then back to the US of A.

There are no birds it is to cold.

I will be feeling good by the time this game starts. Luckily I don't half to work tomorrow.

Anyways I assume this will be a closely contested battle. I will predict Canada repeats as Champions in with a 3-2 score.

 

[1909]

Because hockey isn't played on paper.

Maybe the team defers too much to Dach, the guy with NHL playoff experience. Or maybe Lafreniere tries to do too much on his own.

I don't know, but I don't assume.

This team as it is currently constructed is doing a tremendous job. That much I am sure of. Hopefully they can close it out.

Exactly. You don't. Why did Canada had Crosby and Bergeron back then ?.... Did they ruin the chance of Canada to win a Gold ?

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

Mods are gonna have a hell of a mess on their hands tonight if Canada doesn't win this

Why should this year be any different? All hands on deck. lol!

They didn't ruin the chance at Gold, because it actually happened.

Meanwhile, the 1981 Canada Cup team had Wayne Gretzky, Mike Bossy, Guy Lafleur, Bryan Trottier, Denis Potvin, Ray Bourque, Larry Robinson, Rick Middleton, Bob Gainey, Marcel Dionne, among others, and lost 8-1 in the final.

If you had asked me if that team would lose 8-1 against anyone, how do you think I would respond?

I don't indulge in what-if scenarios because anything can happen on the ice.

 

[Fried Tree Sap]

In hindsight, Group A was stronger than they were given credit for prior to the tournament - Finland has been terrific while Sweden embarrassed themselves.

There is no way to avoid having 3 strong teams in one Group - while the other only has 2. We need MORE strong teams.

I miss the days when the Czechs were legitimate gold medal contenders

Agreed 100%. Crazy to me that they haven't gone with continuous OT.

Just because of how it went down the last time to team USA. I mean... that "Is this the best Team Canada all time?" thread is actually warranted and if they don't win we're gonna be getting the ripest memes since my boys won 62 games and laid a deuce vs the Blue Jackets. But touche amigo. Good luck to both teams!
