[Pip]

USA! USA! USA!

Calgary is now accepting "Thank you" letters from American fans for the performances of Adam Fox and Tyler Parsons.

 

[Heldig]

Jost, Spears and Strome were horrendous in the elimination games.

All 3 are absolute dumpster fires.

Shootouts suck.

Why can't they just play OT until someone wins it? That game was incredible and completely lost it's lustre as soon as OT finished.

Hockey is a team game. Shootouts must be eliminated at all levels of hockey.

 

[CanuckCity]

Man for such an unbelievable and memorable game that has got to be one of the most anti climatic and dull finishes imaginable.

Without even getting into the shootout being there, 1 goal on 10 shooters? especially in a 4-4 game? blue-balled x100 from that

Wouldn't it be the other around?

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Today: U.S 1 - Canada 0

That's all that matters.

Canadian love living in the past, they are starting to sound a lot like English soccer fans.

 

[snipes]

I wonder how many Canadians would be griping about the shootout if Canada had won?

That's disrespectful to how much the majority of us care about this game and enjoyed it.

Go back and look at how many of us said "either way shouldn't be a shootout".

Nevertheless, the USA won. I congratulate you and tip my hat, respect. Congratulations on a well earned Gold medal, nothing but respect for that American team. Well earned Gold.

 

[Loosie]

Thanks for embarrassing Canada. Losers

Go away please. That was not embarrassing.

 

[JT Kreider]

Those dog piles are always so reckless with skates going all over the place.

 

[Ninety7]

Congrats U.S!

 

[binop7]

LOL at all crying about the shootout, we won fair and square we are the better team, Canada had two 2 goal leads and couldn't hold it. Too bad too sad.

Agreed. I think this US junior team is simply better than Canada. One of the greatest games I've ever seen, kudos to the refs and players

 

[StopBlamintheRefs]

What a humiliation, Canadian Junior program is in crisis, close the borders, no more developing other countries talent in our junior leagues.

Really? You need to pick your face out of your your drool cup so you don't drown? Canada has won 14 gold...the most of any World Junior team VS 5 for the USA...there is no comparison.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Great game Canada.

 

[Cellee]

Congrats, Team USA

Well done.

Exciting game.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

I wonder how many Canadians would be griping about the shootout if Canada had won?

ME!! First of all congrats to the Americans.

I say it every ****ing year, EVERY YEAR get rid of the shootout. I was saying to my family when OT was starting that who ever wins let it be in OT and not go to a shootout.

 

[Telos]

That overtime was fantastic, loved every minute of it. Glad USA won but it is a shame that it went to a shootout.

best team-USA

This is what it's all about, folks! Not a single position covered by a star but come together as a team and come through with a flawless record throughout the tournament. Hats off Team USA!

 

[Heldig]

Fantastic hockey.

 

[mel]

What an exciting game to watch! I just wish it could have been continuous overtime. Oh well. Go USA and congrats to Canada on a very fun game.

Also, the majority of the fans here have been all class. Great tournament guys

 

[jj cale]

I wonder how many Canadians would be griping about the shootout if Canada had won?

To a man Canadians were saying they couldnt stand this going to a shootout 5 minutes before the ot period was over.

We don't like it and if you just read the pages you will see that.

Congrats on your victory, Canadian fans hating shootouts has nothing to do with anything about that .

 

[Canada4Gold]

Chabot only played 43:53 of a 80 minute game, probably didn't even break a sweat

 

[TheBeastCoast]

why are canadians complaining about a shootout? they had no business winning after giving up 2 2 goal leads

Well...I mean you guys never actual were ahead in the game at any point. So I'm not quite sure where you are going with this.

 

[Super Cake]

Gold medal games should not end in a shootout. It just shouldn't.

A skills competition basically decided the winner. :

Parsons, future Calgary saviour!!
