GDT: WC: USA (1) vs Canada (5)

[Kamiccolo]

Matthews is invisible so far.

 

[ViD]

Is arena packed or not really ?

For a guy who supposedly begged to be in the line-up for the pre-tournament game Perry sure seems to just be out there for a lazy Sunday skate today. I would have expected a little more effort or energy from him.

If you're not watching the game sure. He's had some really good shifts against a really good Canadian team.

what is the point of having tournament when you know canada will win?

Classless goal. I thought Canada don't make goals when they are leading by 3 goals so that they don't embarrass their opponent.

its hard playing against lower competition always

He look like that every WCH he is on. Maybe big ice isn't just suited for him.

Hanifin, and he's one of the best skaters on the ice for either team.

Unfortunately, when a puck is picked off and the other team is coming at you with a full head of steam while you have to change direction, it will not look very good for even the greatest of skaters.

Yes I agree it was a tough play for him but it just looked like he put in zero effort to skate or even defend at all.

I was also surprised to hear it was Hanifin as I didn't expect that from him.

I am not really sure why Kinkaid is getting so much hate. The Americans have been thoroughly dominated in front of him. It isn't likely that the score is much different with a different goalie in net.

The skaters have been just as much a problem if not more than he has.

He has allowed 2 horrendous goals and a couple other goals he was off his angle. With a better goalie the score would absolutely be closer

Not really, he looked pretty good.

 

[McYoungGuns]

LOL.

This team is far from a sure thing, they have to get way better to win this thing.

 

[Keeptdos]

We know what Maroon is doing in practises

 

[stavs*]

why couldn't the US ice a better team than this? Scrubs everywhere.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Put in Demko

Should have done that after the Hall goal.

The reason is so you can bet your house and all your life savings if it's that predictable

 

[expy]

Maroon... lol

 

[PBandJ]

Matthews is invisible so far.

He's 18, playing against a very good Canadian team.

 

[McYoungGuns]

if you invite us to play, we're always going to win

 

[aphyro]

hehe they don't matter to us

We will see who win this Tournament

My 5cents is on Russia or Finland

 

[ViD]

hehe they don't matter to us

Canada won one gold and now they are cocky ?

Good, good

 

[1Gold Standard]

Did Miller just say Yakupov is in for the Russians tonight? LOL. Gord is behind the news.

 

[tade]

Very good peformance from stacked CAN team, something what we would expect.

Matthews is invisible so far.

I wouldn't agree with that, I've been watching closely and he had an ok 1st period got more comfortable as the game went on, he was effective in the 2nd period I'd say him and Larkin where the best US players in the 2nd and he was hot and cold in the 3rd.

He was utilized in many areas this game, took a ton a of important faceoffs and did very well. He was used on the power play and made a few nice plays was used on the PK.

The whole US team has been kinda bad against the US, the line ups aren't close to be honest Canada has many NHL players the US not so much.

Anyways Larkin has been the best US player all game, but Matthews has been pretty good in my opinion

Good smart hockey play there Wideman
