Will bump

 

[John Agar]

Would a Gold Medal game go to shootout?

Totally sinful... but yes...

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Gauthier will score.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

I think Woodhouse has it prepped.

Well I'd lock this one in about 5 minutes or just before the puck drop in OT.

 

[DieselBoy]

Greenway/Barzal

 

[Leafs27]

Fine, I'll say Chabot for Canada. Keller for the States.

 

[Replay]

Unreal game. Props to all the players giving it their all. For those people that are ragging on the players, remember that they are teenagers that are still developing their game.

 

[Confucius]

He was saying they're looking great without Eichel and Matthews.

You're welcome, homie.

Oh well we're missing Crosby...

 

[SniperHF]

I think Woodhouse has it prepped.

Not just good for fetching rugs.

 

[clunk]

I dunno. This game just feels like USA's game. They have the momentum right now and I think they'll take it.

 

[Captain And Coke]

Would a Gold Medal game go to shootout?

Yes, single 20 min OT, then shootout with 5 shooters.

Regardless how this game turns out... I think hockey Canada needs to seriously look at the amount of import goalies in our junior ranks. I understand that Ingram and Hart are two of the best goalies in the CHL, but something is wrong. Canadian goaltending has been shaky for several years now and it never was like this before. I remember times in the 90's when our goalie actually won the gold for us. Now it's the other way around... I quiver every time there is a shot. I give Hart credit for what he did against Seesen, but he just doesn't play like a high caliber goalie. And the only explanation I have for it is the high number of imports. I've been saying this for the last 5 years. Am I wrong about this?

I am pretty sure there are zero import goalies in the CHL.

 

[izzy]

shootout would be a weird way to end this

Yes, youre wrong. They dont allow import goalies anymore...

Greenway/Barzal

Barzal would have to stickhandle himself all the way into the net along with the puck...

 

[winnipegger]

This will go to a shootout. Kids are going to be nervous as ****

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Oh well we're missing Crosby...

If only we had Price!

 

[Clare2904]

20 minutes of sudden death OT

then (if needed)

5 shooters shootout

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

lol mod humor. Either I've spoken my bit. The powers that be will do as they please

 

[sandysan]

No matter who wins it, bad defense will be the cause ( just please not like the see runs OT winner). There is plenty of bad defense to go around.

 

[Jeffrey]

I agree that the US looked faster and more energetic toward the end of the game.

 

[D3vilsH0ck3y]

This has White written all over it

Gauthier... And thus ends up with the three GWG in elimination games.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Momentum is a tough thing to carry over a full intermission. Canada dominated the first period and the US came out very strong to start the second.
