[Bood12]

what a game

 

[Led Zappa]

Yeah USA!!!

But the medal games should not end in a shootout.

 

[VainGretzky]

Canada needs to look at changing their coaching staff for the next tournament, just really questionable decisions

Some of the vets are dead ass slow as well also the d other than fast is turtle slow They need more speed they were chasing the American girls all game could not get to pucks in d zone to slow the score and ot actually flattered Canada imo the American women have great speed but poor finish

 

[Captain Bowie]

USA #1 in women's and soon #1 in men's.

LOL you serious?

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Melody Davidson - you need to make some serious changes, just saying.
if you want examples - just watch that entire third period + overtime. bad coaching decisions, bad sloppy play and we were just slllooowwwwww.

I think my junior midget team could have easily taken out team canada in that OT and I've never played on a good hockey team

 

[Loosie]

Canada needs to get faster.

 

[204hockey]

Some of you Yanks need to learn better sportsmanship btw

why if we won there wld be some moron canadian doing the same thing.. thats how internet forums work just ignore it and move on... this doesnt affect any of our lives its a sports event not a big deal

 

[wpgallday1960]

To be honest, I thought the US deserved the win a little more, especially in OT. Their superior speed was obvious 4 on 4. Shame it had to be decided by a shoot out.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Right? Should be playing the Hulk Hogan theme song. "I am a real American....."

Nah I think "America f*** Yeah" from Team America is more appropriate.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

LOL you serious?

Why anyone still gives this guy the time of day is beyond me.

 

[Crosbyfan]

Congrats USA. Would have rather had either win in 3 on 3, or 2 on 2 even, but there you go. As shootouts go it was entertaining if not hockey.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

LOL you serious?

I've never been more serious.

 

[canadianguy77]

In the end...humanity won. What are borders really but some arbitrary lines drawn on the earth. We're really all winners folks!

 

[905PENS]

Barf...haha. jk

 

[JackSlater]

Good game, unfortunate about the shootout. Congratulations to USA, overall they played the better game and the win was deserved. I look forward to the gold medal game in 4 years. I don't know a whole lot about the women's game but Nurse looked like the future of the Canadian team in that game.

 

[Gnashville]

Some of you Yanks need to learn better sportsmanship btw

You may Wanna go back 4 years and read the comments after Canada won! Or listen to the Canadian commentary of that game.

 

[SniperHF]

Eh, it's like "I love LA." Everybody knows it's not complimentary, but no one cares because it's really catchy and upbeat.

Yankee Doodle even

 

[Canadienna]

Congrats Americans! You earned it, maybe now you can stop putting the Canadian flag on the floor of your dressing room...

 

[Captain Bowie]

I've never been more serious.

[TheDizee]

Who cares. They won in shootout lmao.

And canada deserved to lose with that pathetic effort.

But still pretty funny that usa needed a random shootout to win tho. Haha takes away from the win imo. Ot goal wouldve meant more.

not really, they still get a gold and canada still gets a loser medal.

 

[c9777666]

It took THAT kind of goal to beat Szabados who was basically looking like ‘98 Hasek

 

[TruKnyte]

why if we won there wld be some moron canadian doing the same thing.. thats how internet forums work just ignore it and move on... this doesnt affect any of our lives its a sports event not a big deal

And I'd say the same thing about Canadian fans if they did that too


Hats off to the Americans, they were the better team and deserved the gold. Looking forward to the rematch in four years time.

haha I can assure you when Rooney stopped that puck it was awesome, can't imagine a OT goal being much better

Only one person can be blamed. Canada’s coach.
Watch the 4 on 4. The Canadian defence never press forward. They always hang back or change. We always either dump the puck in and change or try to rush with one girl. That’s what you do when you’re on the pk, 5v4 up by a goal. They were dropping back on defence. Never pressing and just allowing the Americans to change. That’s how you kill a penalty. And it’s not just being tired. This was from puck drop.
America was pressing. Not letting the Canadian defence take their time with the puck to allow us to change. Always had one defenceman joining the rush so it wasn’t just one or two trying to go through the whole team. More agressive on defence. That’s how you play 4v4.
The Americans had practiced this and were ready to play.
The Canadians had not practiced this so just played the only way they know how when they only have 4 skaters. Penalty kill.
That’s the difference. Canada’s coach had not practiced for this situation which, when you think about how close the two teams are, is really not a shock that it ended up in OT.

 

[PensPlz]

USA #1 in women's and soon #1 in men's.

Don't think USA men's hockey will ever be #1 considering they have our 4th tier athletes, where as in most of the other countries hockey is the premier sport.

Our top athletes play more lucrative sports that are also more accessible like football, basketball, baseball, and hell... even soccer is offered in every school.

[wahsnairb]

At least we can all agree on 3 things..

These two teams never disappoint.

That shootout somehow didn’t disappoint despite it being a joke of an idea.

These refs were jokes.
