This is one of the tightest defensive games I can remember ever seeing in this tournament. There is no room out there at all.

And it's still more entertaining than your average NHL game.

 

[PG Canuck]

It's probably best if you stop this crusade. I want to see Virtanen succeed.

Will do!

 

[Kelly]

Marner and Strome look pretty average thus far, not like a Domi/Duclair from last year's team.

Agreed.

Especially Marner, he's looked meh so far, trying to force a lot of plays -- hopefully they pick it up.

 

[Jaykay]

White has been invisible, definitely expected more from him.

 

[Puckstop40]

US is having more possession in Canada's zone but they aren't doing anything with it.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Marner is disappointing me.. was hoping for a high octane type skilled game... not creating anything.. however, alot of Canada guys look somewhat lost

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Another good save Ned.

 

[Marlander93]

Looks like Marner got benched

 

[The Drop]

Domi/Duclair were 19; Strome/Marner are 18.

Domi duclair weren't top 5 picks.

 

[Alerion]

Crouse playing in place of Marner

 

[lidstromiscool]

Saying Marner looks awful would be an understatement

 

[Richter915]

strome is getting way too much time and space when he takes the zone.

 

[SI90]

I'm sure Canes fans wish AN was a few years older. Kid looks really good

 

[Muston Atthews]

Marner is off the Strome line, or vice versa

 

[Captain And Coke]

Crause almost making up for that icing with this forecheck.

 

[TheOllieC]

Ned has been quite good. Got hung out to dry on the goal.

 

[Puckstop40]

US is so sloppy breaking out. Bone headed decisions.

 

[Dr Quincy]

If the refs aren't going to call interference, US has to stop dumping and chasing.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

White has been invisible, definitely expected more from him.

Actually forgot he was playing.. was looking forward to seeing him too

 

[John Pedro]

Strome is way better than Marner. Wow

this kid is unbelievable.

 

[Royal Canuck]

Good shift here for the Canadians.

Virtanen showing good patience.

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

What a shift from Virtanen

 

[PG Canuck]

Great shift

 

[SI90]

Great shift for Barzal and Virtanen.

 

[Hyzer]

man gauthier has been great. love his play style.
