PGT: Gold Medal Game | USA vs Canada | PGT

[Islay1989]

Congrats to the US, great team, great game. They played hard and played with a chip on their shoulder.

I can do without the whole trash can antics, though. That’s pretty shitty.

It wasn't a trash can for God's sake.

I don't understand why so many are hating on TSN.

I hate on TSN because they shut down the stream I was watching. They waited until the 3rd period to shut it down.

Congrats team USA. I'm Canadian, but i honestly don't care who wins in general, i just love to watch the best prospects in the world excel on the biggest stage. Zegras is a difference maker type of player, they deserved the win.

Can someone update me on what this "trash can" or "barrel" talk is all about?

 

[blindpass]

Maybe Canada should stop beating teams by 10+ goals in the preliminary round

United States 11 - Austria 0

Sorry if I'm missing some subtle sarcasm here.

Nothing worth paying attention to. They brought out a big blue "barrel" (wouldn't call it a trash can, it was a large plastic cylindrical container for liquid by the look of it) with a piece of paper with "Canada" taped on it for the gold metal photo. Apparently their routine was to take things "one barrel at a time" as they played each team. I think you'd have to be looking for something to be mad about to get worked up over it.

Relax. It looked like one when I saw it.

C'mon, Canada. Learn the difference between a trash can and a Jeffrey Dahmer barrel.

Haha we must have been watching the same stream. Had to frantically find the next available one which was some pixelated Russian one that skipped every other second

Ok, thanks for the info!

I don't understand why so many are hating on TSN. They gave full credit to the Americans after the game and gave no excuses for why Canada lost and they weren't necessarily wrong for disagreeing that they weren't tested in the tournament.

You can't say a team that faced Russia and Finland wasn't tested and you're also throwing shade at those teams.

Neither of those teams played their best games on those days, I'm sure they'd be the first to admit it. I think the point was that maybe they were never forced to make a big adjustment or to dig deep and got too comfortable with their game.

Looking back at junior and senior tourneys from last 40 years or so, it seems like a strong pattern that a team needs adversity, a loss, to grow to a winning team. Almost every time when a team Finland would seemingly coast easily through the group stage of a tourney, the loss would come at a playoff game. And vice versa (although not 100%, of course).

To have that adversity, loss, come in the final, is of course unfortunate.

could be a big reason why sweden has had such little success winning gold in this tournament over the past 10 or so years despite their total domination of round robin play.

Indeed

Dahmer Barrel

Trash Can

That is clearly a Dahmer barrel

 

[bigdog16]

I wish it was a trash can

People are so soft

 

[Lt Dan]

People are so soft

That depends on how you cook them

 

[The Kingslayer]

The outcry over the barrel is very ridiculous. Upset fans just looking for something to be mad about.

I admit I thought the worse when I saw it but like anything else you should always reserve judgement or comments until its all revealed. I blame Ryan "snitch boy" Rishaug for riling me up.

 

[NyQuil]

I think the outcry over the outcry over the barrel is rapidly taking the lead over the outcry over the barrel.

I think the answer is obvious. New account from a banned account.

Except trash cans usually have these things called “holes” or “openings” if you will on the top of them, so you can fill them up without spillage. Barrels are enclosed, usually used for liquids or something that needs to be confined like grains, powders etc..

In this case it was a barrel on the ice and it came with a story as to what team USA was doing with it, which was some sort of motivational prop in the lockerooms.

 

[Lt Dan]

Only Americans do that. Canadians would have praised the players who played well on both teams.

There are good people and dicks in every country in the world. That behavior is not exclusive to any one country

This is exactly the kind of hard-hitting analysis that brings me back to HF Boards every time.

Someone tag Ryan Rishaug.

 

[Szechwan]

What game from the US! Full respect to them, they came out with a game plan and executed it to perfection.

A great tip, a bit of luck on a bounce that Zegras capitalized on and that's all they needed. Hard to beat a team with that kind of talent when they play an essentially perfect game. I hadn't realized how dominant the US has been in recent gold medal games, hopefully next years Canadian team comes back with a chip on their shoulder.

It was a great, fun hockey tournament.

Try and caption this:

 

[NyQuil]

"Hold your head up high kid. You were playing Junior A and now everyone in Canada knows your name."

For me, reading all the outrage is silly and in this case on it’s from both sides. It’s a freaking game....

Agreed!

I'll see you around the HF Cans, Chests, Barrels and other Containers Subforum.
