You know he's finding this result hilarious. Won't mention him again. Promise.
He was maybe the best player on the ice.
He scored once and was a +2. Looked pretty good too. Physical.
Don't downplay him. He was ****ing awesome!!
Good game, I'm liking Canada agai.

Gibson didn't trip Glanlund intentionally. Not sure if he even saw him and that was indeed a dive by Granlund. Mikael Granlund turned the game around with this, eventho he had a pretty weak game overall.
Maybe Granlund was even looking for that and could predict the goalie might trip him when he saw he wasn't really watching. It's said Granlund thinks like he was 3+ years older than the other players of his age, so it wouldn't surprise me if he did it intentionally.
I liked #4 Mäkinen allready after the practicegame against Canada (not last game) and I liked him again very much. I really see him as our top or top 2 defender... Not much of mistakes, good passes even under pressure of hard hitting forechekers, some offensive abilities too, gets the puck to the net... Very nice.
Also I loved to see the team started to play to their potential. Specially I loved we wont without our first line, when the first line starts to play into their potential its going to be good.

Embrassing for U.S to lose 1-4 to the worst team in the tournament.
As an Avs fan I love how Aittokallio looked today.
I went to the Avs training camp and I don't think Aittokallio is playing outside of his skill level at all. He looked awesome in camp, and he looks awesome in the tourny so far. Expect more of the same from him.
I would like to see someone else et Markus Granlunds place, theres just too much passing in the line right now. Maybe even someone from the fourth line, it performed pretty well and was energic.
What this loss really means is that the next round the USA will probably face Russia and Sweden.
The chances of him making any kind of difference are pretty slim at best. No clue why anyone is even talking about him.
If USA beats Canada, Finland have even chances to win their group now.
