GDT: U18 Final day (USA-CAN, SWE-SVK)

[Svedu]

GEORGE. McKenna and Hagens. Love to see them this game.

Thse announcers are dog shit

Dog shit is too kind

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

If not for George it's probably 6-2

McKenna, nice goal.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Canada just hasn’t handled the moment. Another prime example

 

[Svedu]

This Hagens vs McKenna became the battle I wanted to see between Bedard vs Michkov but never did get to see. Who knew! These two are nothing but elite. They are Hughes and MacKinnon level- or potential. Bedard and Michkov etc.
LaFreniere was never this spectacular in any single way.

Selfish play by Spence there

When's the last time we can say a Canadian goaltender is saving the day?

That's the only positive I can take from this game so far, Well that and that it is still a one goal game somehow.

Big time

 

[Svedu]

Jesus, George!

Looks like how Saros and UPL came up big time in the semis and finals for Finland at the WJC's back in the day. Sheesh!

He's been incredible these last 2 games

This Canadian team just can't help themselves.

This IIHF under 18 tourny pretty much a USNTDP under 18 tournament than Hockey Canada tournament since the USNTDP have played together for most of the year while the Canadian players are made up of players from teams that have been eliminated from their respective junior hockey leagues playoffs. You could tell by the way that USA is outplaying Canada even in the shots on goal right now. If it wasn't for Canadian goalie Carter George, the USA would have blown out Canada now.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Unlucky trip there for George, but that's the right call

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Terrible clearing attempts

 

[Svedu]

Ziemer... What is he doing? Pass Hagens buddy.

 

[mphmiles]

US has missed the net from 15 feet in about 12 times this game.

Big advantage for sure

Brutal game for Canada so far. That’s the bad news. The good news, it’s only 3-2 going into the 3rd. Flush it, come out competing, win the period

 

[BerthMania]

Carter George being absolutely fantastic. Mckenna is the most skilled player on the ice even though he's almost born in 2008, but he needs to learn to rely on things other than his skill. I have a couple times in mind where he tried to dangle 3-4 guys and he shouldn't have.

Team USA is just better, I don't know is it's the player themselves or the fact they have chemistry. I really like Mooney, small, but high in energy, fast, never stop working, a Brendon Gallagher type player.

They just mentioned on RDS that when these two teams played in the gold medal game in 2013 the USA outshot Canada 35-12 but Phillipe Desrosiers was impérial as they put it

That felt like Tyson vs Mcneeley but somehow saved by the bell.
