What a shot

 

[fouba]

Back to reality, canada scores

 

[Liminality]

Wow Ellis!

 

[SpezDispenser]

glad to see Stone back

Wow really? That's great news

 

[donghabs98]

Seeing Ellis now compared to him back in 2009 is freaky. He looks very tough with that beard.

 

[saintflannel]

What a slapper.

 

[oobga]

Almost too much finesse on one line with McDavid and Duchene.

 

[canuck2010]

Regarding McDavid, the thing I've noticed with him, especially in this game, is that he seems to defer to others a lot. Not unexpected from a teenager on a team like Canada, but it would probably be better for the team if he tried to impose his will more.

That's one thing I've liked with Matthews, and Laine for that matter. They have both made good use of their abilities, and taken the right decisions despite being youth on a big stage.

That's in no way a comment about Matthews and Laine vs McDavid.

Agreed. McDavid needs to be more selfish. He doesn't need to take a back seat to anyone on the team.

 

[donghabs98]

Dumb penalty to take

 

[SullivanT]

Stupid penalty

 

[oobga]

McDavid assist from the bench His line did do a decent job controlling the puck though.

 

[McDrai]

Nice shot Ellis!

 

[agent082]

That was stupid penalty.

 

[KCC]

Usa hasn't done squat since Canada stopped playing and they came back. Canada went back to playing and usa has barely had the puck

Now 4-3

 

[stakesishigh]

Love Scheifele but what the hell was that

 

[Beerz]

Kinkaid or whatever his name is strikes again...

 

[donghabs98]

Gotta say I miss the old Team Canada jerseys from last year.

 

[Liminality]

What is Scheifele thinking there

 

[Satan]

we dem boyz

 

[Crosstraffic]

Nice glove there Kinkaid.

 

[Aru]

That was stupid penalty.

Yeah, I'm not sure what he was thinking.

Love your avatar.

He had a great shift there and nice play to get puck back to D for line change.

 

[oobga]

awesome PK shift by Murray

48 points in 45 games in NHL rookie season but this tournament clearly trumps any NHL accomplishments I guess

If were basing everything on stats, Peter Forsberg scored 50 in 47 in his rookie year. I dont hear anyone saying he was generational, and he wasnt. McDavid isnt generational - hes just really really good... But not right now
