World Cup: So.... Who Wins Thursday Poll

[a mangy Meowth]

Watching for McDavid to take the game over. If he can't, hard to consider him with the likes of Canadian greats

This is the one game that determines this?

1 of 2. He was dog shit last game despite his goal

Every other Canadian Great has taken over in international play to earn a gold medal when given the chance. He is going to need to step up and lead his team to hardware for once

right because he'll never have another chance after this....

This team doesn't really stack up as well as the teams that those greats would have played on.

Canada probably pulls it out with mcdavid playing well, but it's about as close to 50/50 odds as you can get.

 

[Miro4Norris]

GOAT Sid will lead Big brother Canada for another tournament win.

I'm not saying he won't, but the greats were doing it with all their opportunities. Crosby didn't dissappear when given the chance. Until he was 37 he was dominant and clutch when put in the position

Even injured, Crosby made that impressive play to score that empty netter (after destroying a guy too)!

Goaltending aside its close, considering McDavids generational status

He still is.

WOW! Canada is at 61% in the poll.

 

[soothsayer]

As a Canadian, obviously I want Canada to win. But, at the end of the day, getting to watch JT Miller uppercut himself in the face would be a decent consolation prize.

Who do you think will win?

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

I dunno. One team has Marner, the other team has Matthews.

Which one will choke harder? The other will probably win.

 

[Asinine]

Team Canada's gamers pull it out unless Jordan Swimmington is too nervous.

I am Canadian but... How can you eat that poutine stuff?

I've NEVER had it - it looks awful. Not to mention what it does to your heart.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Canada has known for a while we don't have a #1 goalie to match our talent up front. I hope they've rectified that situation already so in the next few years we can produce one.

Canada wins. Crosby wins the tournament MVP with a dazzling performance and McDavid steals the show with an insane goal showcasing the future of Canadian hockey once Crosby retires.

That or Binnington let's in 2 softies Canada loses 3-5 lol.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Coinflip. Canada has the edge in top end forwards but an awful goalie. If the Tkachuks, Matthews, and McAvoy are good to go i like the US chances.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Don Cherry's team!

 

[ORRFForever]

The U.S. is favoured by a goal and a half. Wow. You got to love those odds. It will be interesting to see if they change as the game approaches.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Depends on how healthy the US is.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Tough to beat an equally talented team twice in a competition like this.

Heart says USA. Head says Canada.

That spread is ridiculous.

I'm surprised the U.S. is favoured by a goal and a half. You'd expect this game to be CLOSE.

 

[Cashville]

50-50 game imo, amped for it nonetheless.

EDIT: I've seen the spread, but beating CAN twice in one tourney is mighty tough.

 

[ORRFForever]

I don't bet but I'm tempted to put some money on Canada + 1.5.

 

[MNRube]

Canada is going to be almost impossible to beat twice. Helle needs to have a career defining game and Slavin, McAvoy, Faber, Hanifin have repeat what they did Saturday. I think Canada wins this one, TBH. Really hope I’m wrong
