GDT: Group A - May 21 - Canada vs USA

[TheBeastCoast]

Yeah, this is far closer to the best team USA could ice than it is for Canada, but the Canadian team definitely looks better. Impressive work by them

Atleast 5 just off the top of my head for the Americans. Stone is the only one on Canada. Murray would be close too I guess.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

So are we gonna face Russia if we lose?

More than likely yes.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

USA coming on strong

 

[jj cale]

U.S slowly getting it's shit together.

 

[NyQuil]

Phew Gaudreau was close.

Canada not as relentless at this point.

 

[NyQuil]

LOL, what a try by Cirelli.

He must be exhausted.

 

[BoWmEn]

Wow that was close

 

[jj cale]

Martinez sure busted his ass off there to save a clear breakaway. Cirelli was tired though

 

[Nexon]

USA looks better on paper , except their goaltending is too hit or miss with Schneider and Demko. To me Demko > Schneider and that's coming from a Devils fan.
USA forwards >>Canada
USA defence > Canada
Goaltending Canada > USA

How they have played so far in this tournament:
Goaltending Canada >>> USA
Defence Canada > USA
Offence Canada >> USA

Canada just seem much better, they are clicking, USA seem like only 1/3 players are actually trying.

 

[NyQuil]

Larkin hurt

 

[jj cale]

Chabot, back end general out there.

 

[Urbanskog]

Yikes, that must have felt uncomfortable.

 

[Nexon]

So are we gonna face Russia if we lose?

If Sweden WINS by 3 or more it’s either Czechs or Russia.

 

[jj cale]

If we could just sneak in one more before this period ends.

 

[Chainshot]

Larkin is going to need an icepack for that. Poor guy.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

dear god, Larkin

 

[NyQuil]

Good period.

Canada stopped dictating the pace over the last five minutes or so, only getting more opportunistic chances.

US came on strong.

Canada will have to come out with the same intensity as the first.

He would be better off with a time machine. OUCH!

yep, bang on.

They better hop on them right from the puck drop next period and get this game back going the other way.

 

[raymond23]

That's the hardest I've ever seen someone get hit in the nuts.

 

[NyQuil]

That's the hardest I've ever seen someone get hit in the nuts.

You know when the announcers just fade into silence as they are watching the replay.

Lol, Gord Miller, “hit in the lower abdomen” is how he brought it up at the beginning of this period.

 

[jj cale]

Murray holding the fort. We really need that back breaking 3rd goal though.

 

[topshelf15]

Doesnt come close?

Okay i dont wanna derail the thread but thats just off-basis lol.

And he easily replaces White

Yeah ,think Iam a little dumber for reading this

 

[Christien]

Really sucks about Larkin

 

[NyQuil]

It’s funny to hear the ref warning him.
