what a SHAM of a tournament, the winning goal wasn't even scored by a real american so it shouldn't count.

Ya but Jason Priestly was in that scene, and he's Canadian. So HAH!

It’s kinda crazy how long Sweden and Russia have gone without winning gold - and I’m good with that! 
Sanderson???? What have you only watched 1 or 2 games.. Kid will be real good and played fairly well tonight but hasn't been close to the US best d man in all the games.
Even if your Staten Island thing worked out, I used to be on the ice with him mostly in New Jersey
He has a chance. Every team needs a natural goal scorer.

?!?!?! Wow is this for real? How is it possible this is the first time I’ve heard about Priestly being Canadian?!
A competitive game, like the only pretournament training match for these teams in question.
Team Finland probably played better than their parts, but at the end, better individuals won. For example, even if the top two Finnish defencemen have skills, shooting was not among their particular strengths. And too many times play almost halted, when a defencemen's handedness weren't suitable for the task at hand and they, quite weirdly, had to try to execute a turning maneuver, even if opposing forecheckers were already harassing them at the blue line, or just dump the puck in.
Congrats for Team USA and I hope we see a good final hockey wise.

I like kaliyev.
...mostly because he manages to score goals and be effective out there despite the fact that he makes moving around on ice skates look like he’s swimming upright in a waist deep puddle of applesauce.
It’s probably not sustainable professionally - but it’s entertaining.

Not sure how the Finns or others do it but it is supposed to be the Coaching staff that selects the 3 stars. Don't believe the players have anything to do with it.
We slip in quietly...
And before you know it...

USA fan here. Why are Canada fans taking the bait from the trolls? Come on, guys. It's a f***ing hockey game.
As for tomorrow, I think the US is pretty outmatched by Canada. As usual tons of talent up and down their roster. I think its gonna take a stellar performance from Knight to keep us in it. Anything can happen, though. That's the best part about best of 1 games. Good luck tomorrow Canada!

Did anyone ever verify Kaliyev’s birth certificate? Isn’t he like 23?
Sarcasm, kinda.
It’s all SAD.

You ever see Luc Robitaille play? If not pull some you tube video. Your mother could skate better than Luc, and yet he had a pretty good career

Not taking bait... taking a magnifying glass to the ants...

Could not have asked for more from these Fin kids. In my books out of the last 120 minutes in do or die games they were the better team on ice in 97 minutes. That's job well done. Hockey is a game of small margins and sometimes you lose even with excellent play. Fantastic coaching again.
GG and congrats to the US team.
