McDavid thought he was crosschecking Garland, did not expect to be clapped back at.

Good non call both ways

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

How awesome would it be if Sweden comes back in this game though , everybody should wish for that , not trying to watch a beatdown here , a little overtime heroics for Canada to get the tourny started wouldn't hurt

 

[Phrasing]

I see that McDavid hasn’t learned his lesson about high cross checks near a head…

 

[HockeyVirus]

I can already tell everyone but Canadians going to say this tournament was a joke and not worth anything lol

 

[Miro4Norris]

Please dogshit Sweden make it a game

 

[ViD]

Should've just been USA vs Canada best of 7. This is a joke.

Last 3 best on best

Russia - Canada 2:0
Russia - Canada 3:7
Russia - Canada 3:5

Let’s settle this

 

[Felidae]

The hell? Today I learned Parayko is Canadian..

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Sit down Connor. Yaaaaaa.

 

[Matt24]

Have no idea why many had been galaxy braining this. Canada has the best squad here.

After the 2nd period, I have to go out and shovel - before the RAIN comes and turns to ice. I think I will get a Tim Hortons bagel with creme cheese while I'm out.

 

[NyQuil]

Honestly this is probably the fastest transition team I've ever seen in my life

The team I always remember for their speed was the 2010 Olympic team in that 7-3 win over Russia or whatever it was.

 

[Tryamw]

Could see Binnington get a shutout at this rate

But would he do better than tissue paper Cutout goalie edition?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I think it is safe to say the players won't care angle is like just thrown out the window. Can't wait for Saturday night.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Gustavsson didn't even try? Wtf was that

Sweden doesn’t care.

 

[Zybalto]

Want Binner to get some shots in so he won't get cold.

This team isn't looking far removed from the 2014/16 teams.

 

[CycloneSweep]

CONNOR DONT PICK FIGHTS

GET OUT OF THIS TOURNAMENT ALIVE

or get injured till game 1 of playoffs and we can Vegas it

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Two team tournament. Sweden and Finland don't got it.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Russia is currently banned from international play for a reason.

No shit. I was just noting that they aren’t present, not showing support.

 

[DieSendungmitderMaus]

Lmao German TV missed the Marchand goal because they can't figure out when commercial breaks happens. Outside of like 5 countries in the world you don't want the NHL to be able to sell their rights where you live.

 

[rynryn]

Such a fast pace.

McDavid started that tbh. He could have gotten a penalty for crosschecking Dahlin up high there.

it would take a lot more than that for them to give McDavid a penalty.

 

[FDBluth]

lol poor Dahlin goes from losing with Sabres right to losing with Sweden

 

[Oilslick941611]

Just giving the same energy back to the toxic Canadian fan base.

LOL

You got to make it realistic man. When you're reaching like you were it's hard to take you seriously.

 

[Lampedampe]

I believe that was Hedman and Brodin they just sliced and diced through like it was a Saw movie.lol

Sweden has yet to register a shot. Not sure how the Swedish posters are feeling but now I'd be a bit worried.

I do think Sweden can come back though. This is a great squad currently getting stormed.

It's mainly a skills competition, outside of USA, no team in the world really stands a chance. They're not commiting on the forecheck, and Sweden will never commit to team defense, so yeah this was doomed from the start.

He's evolved into a predator.
