This worked out well.

Didn't see the game, but Canada must have played really bad. They should not lose against this US team.

I'm sure they'll bounce back though. They lost to Switzerland last year but still managed to make it to the finals. You won't beat Canada twice in the same tournament.

Hockey is Canada's game, but shootouts are America's national past time.

 

[End on a Hinote]

I love the cockiness by some posters here who, undoubtedly, labelled this tournament as an irrelevant joke just 365 days ago...

God bless America.

Atkinson with shades of Oshie and Troy Terry, Kinkaid with a great game. I'm so excited for this tournament.

Much like Vegas shouldn’t be in the playoffs.... ignorance is bliss.

I would say the biggest difference was in the goal tending. Kinkaid made some really good stops

There is so much here.

Canada can't get better goaltending that Darcy Keumper? REALLY?

 

[MoeBartoli]

He was a ghost pretty much all season

Yes, but......Actually he was great once he returned from the ankle injury.

Watched some of the game, tough loss. All due respect to Kuemper but if he's our best choice for a #1 goalie then we're in trouble.

Not really sure they both brought bad goalies, at least in my opinion. The USA probably is slightly better, but disappointing who is playing on both rosters there. Canada brought more on the back-end but both rosters are loaded up front and honestly in my opinion USA is a touch faster and better forecheckers so they found a way to disrupt Canada's advantage defensively. They could use the same formula. Team USA has the best top 9 they have brought to this event in a while in my opinion. Kane and Johnny hockey are top 10 offensive talents in the league, Canada only has one of those to claim, even if he is the best don't pretend what the USA has up front is a joke.

Kinkaid since February has been one of the best, if not the best, goalie in the NHL.

Remains to be seen if it's just a stretch of hot play, but he had a lot of nights for the Devils where he looked like he did in today's game.

Well they weren't in the playoffs and I don't like going with him in big stakes medal games, but he might be the better play than Darling. If Quick really wanted to come and he said he did, I am super unhappy with this decision by Team USA. Heck I would have taken Schneider before Kincaid. His hot run was winding down at the end of the season for me. He is a good NHL backup but that is what he is and I wish we had a better situation. It is probably better than what Canada has though.

Not a fan is all, I know he had a career year, when I see him play especially the couple times I have seen him in person I am not super impressed. But hopefully he can help us accomplish something great at this tournament. I am rooting for him now, just not going to lie that I wish we had better options at this tournament.

Shots 40-25 for Canada. Its a shame they couldnt pull it off and lost in a shoutout. It feels like weve only ever lost to the states in a shoutout lately

 

[JackSlater]

Just finished the game, not surprised by how scrambled the defensive play was by both sides. From a Canadian perspective it was a good learning experience, I found that Canada was the better team by a decent margin but needs more finishing and less Kuemper. I really liked Dubois' play in the game. Also nice to see Larkin play very well for USA. Canada should mix the lines up a little and USA should split up Gaudreau and Kane. I wouldn't be surprised to see these teams play each other later in the tournament, and if that happens I would have pretty good confidence in Canada unless McElhinney looks atrocious in the coming games.

They didn't play bad. They just had an AHL goalie in nets.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

 

[Kshahdoo]

Not sure what this means. I dont really care what a few fans thought of the player when he wanted out of the organization. He is a very skilled, scorer and that didnt change over night.

Lol about "a few fans"... Eberle was probably the most hated player on the team by the Oilers fans.

 

[TimeZone]

I keep looking at the rosters.....and then the final score.


Canada apparently got drunk before the game....ECHL goalie or not...that is just embarrassing.

eberle was the sorted laziest player I've ever seen. he couldn't play defense, always outmuscled for the puck, sismt back check. so he put up ok points. he was a disaster. don't miss him at all. least he's on a team that doesn't play defense so right now.

 

[bsu]

Just watched the game... My God nurse is dumb.... He's like a young bieksa out there.

Has nothing to do with seeing into the future but pure common sense, the Canadian team is superior to the US. They haven't lost twice to the same team for the last 30-something years. They ususally get better and better througout the tournament whilst the US ususally take the opposite route.
