Logan Thompson.

Hard to believe he was left off. Not sure on the logic in that

If USA won this it was always going to be because their goalies were just better. It's the one area (and maybe D) where they could match/exceed Canada.

It's like saying "yeah well we'd beat you if you didn't have Mahomes..."

Sure, but we do.

USA just has better goaltending than Canada.

Especially when you purposely don’t bring your best goalie

Yeah - lots of Canada fans pissed they didn't start Hill but he's not great either. I don't think he's better or worse than Binner. He's about the same.

Thompson is, IMO, the only guy who could go in there and stare down Hellebuyck on any given night.

Eat shit Canada. Serves them right for booing the anthem.

My suggestion to stop that would be for the president to stop talking about subsuming other countries and starting trade wars

Binnington almost cost them the Sweden game and arguably cost them this one.

If he’s in there against Finland Monday, they may miss out on the rematch Thursday

What happened to Canada's goaltending? Breaking down a national crisis in the net

Canada used to have the best goalies but other countries are getting better. Here's what we can learn from them

The 4 Nations Face-Off roster reveals in early December set off alarmists who bemoaned the selection of Team Canada goalies Jordan Binnington, Adin Hill and Sam Montembeault, as well as an alleged puck-stopping paucity stemming from the development system that spawned them.

Had you ingested much of that coverage, you could have been forgiven for believing the Americans, Swedes and Finns boasted the world’s top nine goaltenders while the second comings of Warren Score Against Me and Red Light Racicot were due to cost Canada any chance of tournament success in Montreal and Boston in February. Indeed, the on-air and online hand-wringing seemed surely to precipitate the next Open Ice Summit.

It’s a national crisis

I will enjoy the great annexation of kannita

If we wanted to do it with force, it would take 2 minutes and 33 seconds.

The way Trump is going these days, nothing is out of the realm of possibility

Again - it's no different for any goalie Canada brought with them.

Any of them could blow that game for them.

You’re not wrong but I’d still try the guy who hasn’t blown a game for them yet instead of the one that has
