The US doesn't stand a chance unless it turns into a special teams battle.
 
The USA barely squeeked out a win against Finland, a country with a population of 5 million. Canada will destroy Team NCAA on goaltending alone. Knight just isn't very good.
 
During the 3rd period, it felt to me like the USA was playing for Silver. The way that they were collapsing and making mistakes under pressure, especially by taking penalties, just a day before facing the best team in the tournament does not inspire much hope. That said, anything can happen in hockey. The USA might be surprisingly disciplined and Canada surprisingly undisciplined tomorrow. You never know. Either way, it's wonderful that they got this far and anything more is gravy.
 
I am confident with Canada for this one but you never know. This team gives me Sochi vibes where by the end of the tournament they seemed unbeatable.

They have certainly been on another level from every other country up to this point.

Keys for the US: keep Canada from scoring early and win the special teams battle. Canada has scored early all tournament which has put them in the driver's seat every step of the way. They have also yet to be scored on at even strength in six games of hockey. My feeling is the US will have to get some timely PP scoring with a dominant goaltending performance to pull off the Gold.

Should be fun.

Canada will and should be heavy favorites
USA needs some production outside the 1st line and the Farnacci line. Its gonna be tough and Knight has to play his best game

USA has to bury whatever PP chances they get

I predicted the U.S. would win Gold but man Canada was good, tonight, and the U.S. was outplayed by Finland.

Anything can happen, of course, but if I had to put my last $1,000 on either team, I'd be foolish not to bet on a team that looks unbeatable.
