And then tries a dogshit wraparound when he has two uncovered players approaching the slot. Dude is so dynamic, but at even strength just tries one thing himself and then coasts away from the play way too often. Bedard is the same way. It blows my mind that these guys can watch centers like Crosby, Toews, Barkov, O'Reilly, and Kopitar lead their teams to Cups and not quickly figure it out.

Crosby was also going on a line change but he quickly looked around and set up the winning goal. Connor loves to bail after he figures his shift is over.

Why didn’t Sweden put Karlsson out on the 3 on 3? What am I missing?

Because swedish coaches tends to be full of themselves and want to go their own way, against the stream in order to look "smart".

 

[Razamanaz]

Well, the real big boys o' Canada couldn't even finish what the youngsters leftover a couple of years or so ago. Canada are on a dole.

Crosby turned the puck over, Sweden got a 2 on 1, then on the way back he dropped the puck way back to make a line change. Glazing that play and using it as some reason to critique 97 is very strange, but you do you.

 

[Hank Plank]

I don't hate McDavid.

Meh the game was okay. Definitely didn’t have an Olympic feel by any means

It's been a while since we've had olympic best on best hockey, but the 6 i do remember the first games usually felt a little lackluster unless it was a big time match up. I think in the Sochi games, USA's second game was against Russia and it was electric.

This was real fun to watch, despite the challenging hours I staid awake and survived.

Best on best internation hockey is my favorite hockey - plz stay forever.
Tight game, both could have won and in the end the bad guys did (sry)

Mackinnon and McDavid on the same team in 3on3 is just flat out scary
Zibanejad - what is his deal, what happened to him this year? He probably shouldnt be on the team let alone getting the amount of icetime he gets. Some weird coaching decisions by Hallam


Congrats Canada, more of this plz!

Crosby is from another planet. Still one of the best. What a game by the captain.

Gustavsson should have been 1st star. He played his heart out.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Only got a chance to watch the highlights, but wow that’s vintage Crosby on display. Unfortunately Binnington seems to be playing at the level we’re used to seeing him play the last few years.

Yea, lucky Sweden bobbled that 2 on 1. Also lucky Canada didn't get a too many men penalty just before that after MacKinnon turned the puck over and then was slow getting off the ice.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Marchand should be out there with Sid. Those two are magic together.

No, Marchand was the worst player on that line in 2016. Constantly would try to do too much and turn it over for being the 3rd best player on that line

 

[Avs2022]

Mackinnon is either going to win the game or lose it because he shoots it into the goalie and it goes the other way

Welcome to every Avs OT game.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Locking this up. Conversation has died and its well past end of game. Good game Sweden, it was entertaining. But you could not overcome the mighty cobra chicken riding beaver this time!
