    USA wins, but damn that game could have gone the other way very easily. Called it!

    I told my wife at the beginning of ot, “This will either be over quickly, or it’ll take forever.”

    What a pass to get the puck to Jack Hughes.

    One thing is very clear, Hallebuyck is not the problem in Winnipeg.

    What a game, win or lose.

    (Edit to correct the spelling of Hallebuyck.)

    Canada almost got taken out by czechia and finland. Too close for my comfort. They need to find a 6th gear against the US who has looked much stronger against their opppnents.

    Binnington’s sv% is horrendous and he needs to come up with some big saves, even when the defense lets him down.

    Prediction, crosby comes back and scores another golden goal.

    The only thing certain is my anxiety levels…

      Yep and Finland played shit in the 2 games I watched so they haven’t been playing their best. How the fuck did they do so badly against czechia? I didn’t see that game

      To be fair only Sweden has been a proper challenge for USA and they had trouble there too. Canada has been tested and proved themselves, USA has nearly skated smoothly to the finals. So we’ll see if USA can even get into 5th gear since they have been on cruise control so far.

    Canada win due to the holy trinity of Mckinnon, Cellebrini and McJesus.

    The Tkachuks spend 93% of the game causing mayhem and 7% of the game playing hockey.

    I’m new to the game so that’s all I’ve got
