It really should be a great game. I was so excited during Czech Republic-Canada yesterday, this game will be even better. I miss hockey but it's not that bad, because of games like these.
 
Who does Camp match up against Kessel? Is there a player on CAN who can match his speed and shadow him the whole game. The Clune, Clutterbuck, Bass line is the grinding line and Pyatt is a grinder as well but maybe someone like Bertram will be assigned to closely check Kessel for this one game.
 
I think Usa will win but Canada still has a strong chance to win.

Go CANADA!!!!! :yo:

The key is to neutralise Usa's forwards, like Kessel,Mueller,Skille,Stoa and etc...Frazee has alos been solid so putting pressure on the opposite d's could also work to score some goals!

Good question. Who knows. I'd say Bertram et al, but who knows if they can even do it.

As for Frazee, I'm less worried about him than I am about the forward corps.


edit: Pierre just mentioned O'marra and Bourdon vs Kessel (split)

we have got to start hitting more! pp canada

Maguire just suggested O'Marra and Bourdon as much as possible against Kessel.
We'll see what happens.
 
Ugh, well maybe they'll realise they need to double team Kessel now. (nice goal by the way, pure burst of speed).
 
Not a good sign. Kessel's first chance and he scores. They can't give him any more and expect to win.
 
Great break out and transition game by the US. Speed kills and Kessel has plenty of it. Maguire compares him to Pat Lafontaine.

Does Price always try to poke check oppenents on Breakaways? he tried it in the semi final game on the 2nd CZE goal and it didn't work then either. Great move when it works but you have zero chance if you miss the puck. Kessel made no mistake
 
Geez. Tremendous chances by Canada but Johnson makes sliding save on an open net and Canada missed the net on a rebound.
 
Oh My God!!!!!!! how close can we get?!!!> Nice save by Frazee/Johnson
 
Omarra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1-1~

Garbage goal - but I'll take it. O'Marra Johnny on the spot for the rebound.


That said - we need to start winning more offensive zone face-offs.
 
O'Marra has really impressed me in this tourny. Great chances there on the PP as 2 CAN's had an open net.

Johnson made some great plays in that sequence.

O'Marra scores as I'm typing this.
