GDT: USA (5) vs. Canada (4) • Gold Medal Game • Jan. 5 • Part 1

[Captain Bowie]

Iceland's hockey program never recovered from that loss.

Let's be honest, they just faked a bunch of Russian kids' passports anyways.

Very amusing thread. Right now Canada is up by 2 and most Canadians here are raving about how good we are etc. etc. etc. Watch what happens as soon as the Americans score. They'll throw every player, coach, asst. coach, ref under the bus. Heaven help us if the Canadians lose . .. it'll be the worst Team Canada EVER!!! Party on. lol

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Hockey Canada and TSN money have spoken. Canada is now allowed to play their dirty game .

I won't watch this tournament anymore.

Cheap excuses... What happened last game... US took advantage of CA penalties and jumped out in front... Don't tarnish the game with this crap.. you are still in it

 

[leaflover]

For the most part i've been pleased with the officiating in this tournament. They don't nitpick and turn the games into special team contests.

 

[snipes]

Gold Canada Gold!!

Oh, I am definitely a Flames fan. Not hiding it. USA's coaches made the right decision to go with Parsons. Just funny seeing Leafs fans trying to make Woll sound better than he is.

He's a hell of a goalie but I'll take Parsons over him any day of the week. His resume speaks for itself

What about his inferior save percentage in the tournament?

 

[Machinehead]

Gunnar Stahl was the best Staal brother

TSN and Hockey Canada are bullies with their money. The refs are told to stop calling penalties and let Canada play their dirty game.

Yet it was the Americans who were allowed to play dirty.

You know how we usually respond to being embarrassed and punched in the face. From 1972 until now .

It hasn't changed.

2nd period..........time to roll.

That isn't even outlandish at all.

Go time. Need more of the same. The Yanks have a good team, need the same effort.

 

[Xokkeu]

I get the feeling from some of you American fans that you would rather Jim Parsons in net over Tyler

Wouldn't matter. The real scapegoat is the US inability to make passes in their own zone and get past one forechecker.

*Yawn* judging any player in a short tournament like this is the worst thing you can do. Players can either be at the top of their game or at the worst of their worst.

Whatever floats your boat though I guess

 

[Machinehead]

Yes more Jones and Fitzgerald.

 

[Machinehead]

That's enough, Caleb. Thanks.

 

[Anthony5967]

Greenway, do me a favor and put Gauthier through the plexi

 

[snipes]

lol Jones is my boy, Oilers prospect, but he just got rag dolled with one hand by Gauthier.

A short tournament where the other goalie is playing better and we're at elimination games? No one is saying Parsons sucks, just that he's being outplayed. I'm almost positive he will allow another 2 goals this game... if he's not pulled before that.

I won't watch this tournament anymore.

Bye.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Scary deflection. Looks like a new USA team to start the 2nd.

 

[jj cale]

U.S with the strong start.

We will see what this team Canada is made of now.

It's pushback time for the U.S, they know they have to have that next goal.

The sample size in this tournament is too small to judge almost anything, Hart went from like a 880 to a 925 save % just cause of the last game.

 

[Machinehead]

We have Mick Foley, Jospeh Kony, and Chaka Khan.

How are we losing?

Who has 21 straight playoff wins, was the player of the game for USA in the semi's, stole the game against Switzerland for them, and was the difference maker in the 1st Russia-USA game?
