Still behind by 2?

I smell a comeback tho

Yeah. 2-0 halfway through the 2nd. USA looks dangerous, though. They're going to get their chances.

Wow Stan Wong sighting….

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Back in it….

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Nice pressure and passing to tie it up.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

All tied…

 

[HTFN]

Leonard keeps being dangerous but not rewarded, but boy is he having a game. Felt like he was dragging them back in it earlier by getting chippy and pushing play and now they're tied.

That sums up his tournament so far….

 

[um]

Leonard certainly reminds me of work horse players like Hyman/Oshie/Wilson/etc.

Can never have too many of those.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Let’s go boys. I knew there’d be a comeback…now let’s finish the job.

 

[trick9]

Leonard has been so visible throughout the game. It's funny he doesn't have a point yet but his linemates do with all the chances he's created.

Hurt his right wrist though. He was getting treatment on the bench before.

 

[Cappy76]

I think he tops as a second pair guy in NHL. He will be underpaid and underapprecited but very valvaluable

Calle Jo comp?

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Now that the US has scored on the weak penalty call, what are the odds of Finland seeing a PP before the final whistle?

Bingo!

Apparently damn good. Any other questions?

Calle Jo comp?

I don’t see it….

 

[Ridley Simon]

Let’s go boys. I knew there’d be a comeback…now let’s finish the job.

Boom! Yes, I am late to the party. But am v happy!

Plus I took USA +323 on the ML for end of regulation (no OT), so I did put my money where my mouth was!)

 

[YippieKaey]

What a shitty way for an admirable finnish squad missing their best players to go out. The US were better but the refs kind of spoiled their victory. This game and the Switzerland-Sweden one had some really atrocious and unfortunately game-changing reffing that impacted all four teams. Not how it's supposed to be.

But if the US play like they did today against my Sweden tomorrow they will have a tough time.

Leonard is an asshole and i'll hate him tomorrow but love him as soon as he's on the Caps roster.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Didn’t feel spoiled to me….lots of missed calls.

 

[Cappy76]

I don’t see it….

I was referring to the always solid but sometimes underappreciatedness that was Calle

 

[usiel]

Completely spaced that the semi finals were on today but dvr'd the USA game so giving it a watch now.

 

[YippieKaey]

Didn’t feel spoiled to me….lots of missed calls.

Yeah i mean the US probably deserved to win, but with 5 mins to go Finland was holding and getting some momentum, then a non-call was called and Gauthier snipes it. So perhaps not spoiled and you're correct about the missed calls it's a huge difference if refs call/don't call bad penalties in the 1st period or with 5 to go in the 3rd.

Swi-Swe was the same, we won on a very weak penalty against a team we should beat but that had us tied. Not the right way for me.

 

[Random schmoe]

Wow Stan Wong sighting….

Was coming here to post a "Today I learned" on Stan Wong.
13 years with the Caps, I can't believe it's apparently been 24 years since he left.

A link would be great for the gold medal game. I don’t have TSN or NHLN

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

LFG boys! just put on my American hero John Carlson USA jersey.

 

[pman25]

Sweden to a powerplay, Leonard was taken down in front of the net 15 seconds earlier with no call. Hometown officiating already

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Sweden has quite the crowd
