He friggin tripped him. What the heck do you want?

The hook was a bad call, the trip was a trip. People just want to complain I guess. Just because Turcotte didn't mean to trip him doesn't mean he didn't trip him.

 

[Fatass]

If I'm a scout for an NHL team I'd want M Beniers

I’d be checking his birth certificate. Is he 30? Looks like he could be one of those guys who becomes a man younger than his peers. This could be what he is.

 

[The Blue Baron]

US needs to calm things down a little. They have more talent overall but need to be a little less sloppy.

Americans play hard with the puck.
Play in their own end, not. So. Much.

 

[SRHRangers]

Canadian refs in this game are as corrupt as the boxing judges in '88 Summer Games for Roy Jones Jr.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Lol what? A rifle off multiple shins?

I notice you didn't say the same when Caufield zipped an actual nice shot bar down last game...

Don't be so insecure lol. Caufield has a great shot too. And yes Kaliyev has a rifle that still got to the net despite it being deflected.

 

[sakux]

Two clear penalties. Refs can't ignore either of them.

 

[NyQuil]

Finns came out with a little more jump on average than the US.

I think the Americans are just more dangerous so they don't need as many chances.

I think Finland would have liked to go into the room with a lead given that they had the edge in overall energy level I think.

Exactly..thank you Kilo!

What can I say? Finns have come to play.

Let's see them deal with a couple of American p.p's now.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Need to find a higher gear moving forward for Team USA. I do like how Knight looks regardless of the offense, but they need to play faster and take their game up a few notches. They have the guys to do it, I expect better in the second.

 

[snipes]

I hear the Americans got a few undercover staff to sabotage equipment aswell.

It’s a North American conspiracy, Yanks are just scared of us Canadians because they know we’ll burn their White House down again if they **** around.

Deep State stuff

 

[SouthGeorge]

How did they decide which game is 1st? Kind of unfair Canada is chilling when gold medal game is tomorrow.

 

[Caz]

I miss shots from the blue on PP.

 

[Czechboy]

The U.S. must adjust their play and speed up and be more direct in the next two periods...

Or the Finns will cook their goose...

They definitely have the tools to do that... it's such a good matchup.

 

[Fatass]

If I'm the US coach I'm playing Zegras 20+ minutes in this one

Zegras, Turcotte, and Caufield lots and lots.

 

[John Agar]

literally shocked with the reffing...

You're reminding Me of this classic bit from Casablanca...

 

[Go19]

Is Chipotle all that good? Got the idea from the US helmets

Chipotle opened it's first location in a small shotgun retail store on Evans Avenue just a couple of blocks from the University of Denver campus which is where #24 for the USA Bobby Brink plays.

thanks pierre

Two clear penalties. Refs can't ignore either of them.

But they can ignore a blatant high stick on Boldy?

 

[jj cale]

This might turn into a very interesting game.

 

[SRHRangers]

Chipotle is instant hepatitis.

It is part of the conspiracy.

 

[Osprey]

Kaliyev looks pretty good, he was sluggish up until last game and now he looks much quicker and much more engaged.

He made a really nice pass early in his own zone to Zegras that allowed USA to easily exit the zone. I rewound it to see who made the pass and I was honestly surprised that it was him. His vision and passing may be a bit underrated.

 

[The Blue Baron]

States need some muscle..

When the US last hosted in 2018, they played the early semifinal and Canada played the late semifinal.
