[kingsholygrail]

No discipline whatsoever out of the States.

Canada will expose them every time.

Well...except that one time.

 

[jj cale]

congrats Canada. We'll see ya next game.

Thanks man,


Games against you guys are gonna be tough.

 

[BruinsBtn]

I love Buff but would never take him in a preseason tournament. He doesn't get into top shape until November each year

 

[flaneur]

really strong game from Tavares.

Canada looked like the less tired team.

Not surprised that Oshie tussled with Weber. He is basically Marchand but with a baby face and smaller nose.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

US will be better when it counts, let's just hope biased officiating isn't a factor again.

Come on, Oshie isn't dirty like Marchand.

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Kesler definitely left this game with his tail tucked between his legs. I think he got nervous when he realized it was Tavares and Thornton running him because if those two usually softer players are paying special attention to him, he knows what the big boys like Weber and Burns could do to him in the right situation..

Lol I'm sure he was shaking in his skates

 

[Frank the Tank]

He was shaking in his skates or completely ineffective, whatever you want to call it.

What I thought: Crawford should start, he was confident and Price just needs more rest imo. Interesting gamble by Babcock to field the team without Crosby, paid off well. Tavares was awesome. Weber was trash in the first and average the rest of the way, I sure hope he's only going through the motions.

No they won't and it wasn't the factor at all.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

No they won't and it wasn't the factor at all.

Yes they will and yes it was.

Price had 9 months of rest, and youre telling me he needs more?
What game did you watch? Except for that time when he lost the puck and it ended up to a goal, Weber had a pretty good game. Thats why he was the most used player today, 2 min more than the second most used.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Yes they will and yes it was.

Hhmmmmm!



Not really

 

[Beansy*]

Yes they will and yes it was.

The USA simply is not as talented a group as Canada.

I counted at least 5 turnovers/terrible passes in the first. Watch it again. Yes he had a couple bodychecks but I wasn't impressed overall.

 

[JaegerDice]

Toews, Stamkos and Tavares on a line together is cheat mode. Its ridiculous to watch.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

This was fun to watch and congrats to Canada. I can't wait to see what the intensity will be like next time!

 

[Bixby Snyder]

The USA simply is not as talented a group as Canada.

They are good enough to win this tournament, even with it being rigged in Canada's favor like it is, so don't kid yourself.

 

[General Zodd]

The Americans are good enough and have the talent so really upsets are possible. However this whole refs tirade is growing a little tiresome and you need to put it to rest..

haha rigged in Canada's favour. Cmon. We are all just fans of Team NA

 

[TimThomas24]

How was the rough stuff in this one? Missed the game

 

[snipes]

This was fun to watch and congrats to Canada. I can't wait to see what the intensity will be like next time!

These two should advance from their group. Can't wait for the next time they play, the intensity when Canada and the USA play is always awesome.

 

[CherryToke]

USA looks overmatched. They could really use Kessel, Gaudreau and Larkin.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

USA looks overmatched. They could really use Kessel, Gaudreau and Larkin.

Yea once the real tournament starts, USA doesn't have enough firepower to keep up with the likes of Canada and Russia.
Sweden's defense is also stacked just as Canada's is, and could pose a problem to the top teams in this tournament.

I think the two teams that are going to be in the Finals is Canada vs. Sweden.

Good game to Canada though, I knew Canada was going to bring it after USA won the first game.

 

[TheFinalWord]

Oshie fought against McQuaid last year. That's just how he is, he's not afraid to fight anyone.

Give me a break. He wasn't given a choice and demonstrated what not to do in a fight. He didn't even drop both gloves.
