After the US loses at least I won’t have to subject myself to all these horrible Canadian commercials. I thought we had shit commercial but Canada is on another level.

I think Canada has a good chance to win tomorrow and have to be the favourites.
5 0n 5 favours Canada heavily, and I think Levi has been significantly better than Knight over the course of the tournament. Only place I really think the US has an advantage is at special teams and the tournament has been reffed fairly Laissez-faire.
But its a BO1, anything can happen.

I think its a win for Canada whatever happens, win or lose it will be our 4th finals appearance in 5 years, a run that's seen Canada take 15', 18', 20' gold and if not for that darn shootout vs the US could have been 17' too.
Very excited to see all this talent on team Canada, especially knowing Dach is out and Lafraniere isn't even playing. Could be another golden generation of kids. Go Canada.

It probably won't. all USA needs is a one goal lead and they can play a trapping game.
The US game system looks quite oldfashioned and static. Canada will be highly organized while keeping an insane tempo at the same time. Looks simple but of course a lot can happen in a single game.

The Czechs did a pretty good job of it.
I can't see the US team playing that way though.

I mean it would be the only chance besides Knight going MVP and our tender shitting the bed.
I guess anything is possible.

you are aware that Canada in general has lost to inferior opponents in the past and it's a best of one.... all it takes is us dominating the states for the entire game, USA gets a lucky bounce takes the lead and hang on for a gold... or it could be a tie game, lop sided match, but American Sniper finishes us off..... ..... and it's not like this USA has nothing, they also have their fair share of high picks 1st rounders and fire power.... this is no walk in the park..... they also have a better goalie.

Or they go 4 for 5 on the PP or something, who knows?
There are plenty of ways for a team to lose a hockey game.

I believe in Levi and he's given me no cause to believe otherwise.
Right now I'd rather have him than Knight if I had the choice.
He's just looked better in this tournament to date.
Nothing about his future prospects or whatever.

I'm also not saying our goalie sux...... but this is no sure win for Canada and some Canadian fans are a little over confident right now.

Dude I am just having fun trash talking. I get that it is one game and anything can happen. My money is easily on Canada but yes the USA could win and are capable.
Not a fan of Questrade?

Well historically we have every right to feel confident. Plus every team should be confident.

If Canada presses and smothers the USA with their mobility, the Americans need to find a response no other team in this tournament has been able to find so far. Levi has been great but I have a feeling the USA will get a couple behind him. If Canada stays disciplined, and if they score first, they win. I don't think it will be a blowout.
I mean... You say that like a team has created a one goal lead on this Canadian squad so far this tournament.

Not enough political attack ads?
But yeah. Some of these repetitive ads are annoying.

Should be a good game - I called this before the tournament but to me these two teams stood out among the rest.
I'd put my money on Canada - they've just got more depth and a better forecheck, but US has the firepower to upset, with arguably better high end skill.
US needs to get back to the game they were playing against the Czechs and Swedes if they want to go have a chance.
