Canada wins...
Like a quarter of the Avalanche roster is playing
The Tkachuks are kind of dicks, Matthews falls somewhere between the Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen of hockey
Jake Guentzel played at UNO, so he's cool

Feels weird rooting against Nate, Toews, and Makar.

JohnnyHammersticks 02-20-2025 08:27 PM

Regardless of which team you're rooting for, if you're a fan of hockey it really doesn't get any better than this. So much attention, even from randos who don't watch a single NHL game all season. Good for the NHL, good for the game of hockey period.

I actually thought that was USA’s best period so far, they pretty much controlled the first half of it.

Canada got chance after chance in the last 10 though

JohnnyHammersticks 02-20-2025 10:06 PM

I don't think we put a string of more than 2 passes together in the Canadian zone that entire 3rd period.

This being a defensive lockdown was not on my bingo card.

I was putting the oldest to bed for the first 5 minutes so maybe that's why I thought it looked so bad.

I didn't see SHIT from when I sat down.

Did we have a third guy in the offensive zone the entire period?

Anytime we had offensive possession we just used it to swing a line change and then went back on the defensive. It was just such a passive game plan. It was like a neutral zone trap where we...gave them the neutral zone.

I just didn't see a thing I liked.

KC_Connection 02-20-2025 10:09 PM

They’re trying to prevent a McDavid or McKinnon open ice rush and hoping for a mistake from the Canadian defense

A mistake is probably what wins this game in the end anyway

JohnnyHammersticks 02-20-2025 10:13 PM

I don't disagree that that's why they're playing that way, I disagree with them playing that way. Canada has too much firepower, you've got to go for the win.

That's kinda my thought.

You can see what they're doing - I just don't think they should be doing it.

I mean I'm not even seeing much of a forecheck. I just don't know how they expect to force a mistake this way.

DJ's left nut 02-20-2025 10:17 PM

It just looks so easy for Canada to get the puck out of their own end.

Meanwhile I feel like they get three chances before we can clear anytime they get the offensive zone.

siberian khatru 02-20-2025 10:22 PM

Although Canada did outplay them throughout majority of game

Binnington is one of the most dislikeable douches in the NHL. Couldn't have happened to a bigger asshole.

I can't bring myself to care. I don't have to be friends with him, after all. He's the goalie for my Blues, and he won us a Cup. As a Blues fan, I'll be eternally grateful to the SOB. Besides, goalies are weird. Many of the great ones were pricks. Maybe it's a prerequisite to be a great goalie.
