I'm positive David Reinbacher can reach that potential. Slavin is exactly how I envisioned Reinbacher to be in 5-6 years for the habs and thats more valuable than any little russian winger that the habs could've had instead.
Binnington played like a big boy tonight. Player of the game to me!
Sheeesh!
Sheeesh!

But if you’re going to get a ‘little Russian winger,’ we got the right one in Demidov over Michkov.
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.

And Demidov is not little at all. Bigger, stronger and plays and solid 200 ft game.

So apparently Team Canada does have a group chat. It was revealed on Instagram by Hagel. 
He screen shot it.
Miller was right! You don't talk about group chat. Lol

Matthews is playing injured. He didn’t go to Germany in the middle of the season to try the Weiner Schnitzel.
Matthews, who was largely invisible in the gold medal game except for those glorious scoring chances late in the third period and overtime, has a chronic shoulder injury / condition that will probably plague him his entire career. He missed one game in the tournament and hardly practiced with his team. We should respect the courage he showed playing last night.
It was an intense game between two evenly matched teams. It could have gone either way. I think that even the most die hard Canadian fan has to realize that the Americans have now clearly caught up to Canada in the depth and quality of the players / talent that each country now produces. The days when some (most) Canadians could smugly (and erroneously) claim that we could send two or three teams to these best on best competitions and who could each win, are long over. Going forward, it will be a life and death effort to match and beat the hockey powerhouse that has emerged south of our 'arbitrary, boarder. In fact, it has been that way since the mid 1990s. Just most Canadians were blind to that uncomfortable reality.

So happy we won!! We needed this.
But, team Canada has a lot of work to do for next winter olympics. Don’t like how this roster was build.

No! But we won't be a state either. We'll be a territory. Like Puerto Rico.

I understand respect but Marchand does not belong. Even Crosby had a very poor showing but It’ll be hard not to include him for his last Olympics.

Atrocious. We need better character players, size and north-south players.

We got caught slow.
And we never seem to learn that simple lesson.
It was a great effort by a spirited team. Before the tournament, I said Canada’s only chance of winning was if the three M's (McDavid, McKinnon and Makar) prove to be the best players in the tournament and we get competent goaltending. McKinnon was the tournament's MVP; after being ill and absent early in tournament Makar came on strong and, even when he less than impactful than usual, McDavid scored the winning goal. And when you add the brilliant goaltending of Binnington, the matter was never in doubt.
We got caught slow and it almost killed us.
