4 Nationals Championship Canada vs USA Thread

I am loving this intro with using the Miracle (Herb Brooks) speech to set up this showdown! How many fights do we expect?! Will Canada get revenge or is the depth of the US team to much for Canada?!

Those USA chats are loudddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

I predict Canada will win because Auston Matthews is a born loser who has never played well in a meaningful game and he is the US Captain. All those good players and they choose that scrub as captain?

Are we winning the sports match?

Canada is up 1-0 but given the US has not scored first in any game so far this tournament they are kinda at home. They have created opps just like Canada to score. The game is crazy physical

If you chalk that up to getting ran into a full speed against a wall that then yes lol plenty of guys have also been upended as well

When my wife upends me, it's much more gentle. I bet their moms aren't happy with their behavior.

I have to wonder if he really is the leader though ya know? Did they give him the C because of his appeal or did he really actually get it.

I think this first shift with Canada sending out the skill players is going to tell us how Canada is going to respond. Tkachuk bothers are just menace and Canada doesnt seem to have a response (they should have had Tom Wilson on the team).

OMG I AM ROLLING AT THEM ASKING TO RESPECT THE NATIONAL ANTHEMES HAHAHAHA AND YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE BOOS

I am surprised Brady Tkachuk isn't the captain. I mean what has Auston Matthews ever done besides score a bunch of goals in the regular season and disappear in the playoffs and get eliminated round 1.

40 sats \ 3 replies \ @Cje95 OP 21 Feb

Thats why I wonder if it has to deal with the name and the actual leader is someone like Brady or even the goalies whose name I cannot ever spell for the life of me.

Hellebuyck is great. Goaltending is probably USA's biggest advantage in this game.

Would love to know why Cooper is sticking with Bennington. He hasnt been terrible but he hasnt been great and with short tournaments like this you need great

Holy shit is Bennington playing absolutely out of his mind I take back everything I said about why were they starting him this is the goalie I remember!

@grayruby for once Matthews is playing and of course it doesnt work

10 sats \ 5 replies \ @grayruby 21 Feb

He saved the game and gave McDavid a chance to do his thing.

40 sats \ 4 replies \ @Cje95 OP 21 Feb

Honest to god the play was so clean I missed it in real time... hell of a play and exactly what you would expect from a superstar like McDavid! Props to team Canada for weathering the storm because man the US came close multiple times and Bennington made incredible plays. He has to be MVP for yall

Crazy game. A lot of wild bounces. I am just glad it didn’t end on a bad bounce or something.

US outplayed them. Better D. Better forecheck. But anything can happen in OT.

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @Cje95 OP 21 Feb

I do like that they let the players play. Thankfully it didnt end on that icing when Canada had to many people on the ice that would have sucked

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 21 Feb

That was such an odd play because it looked like they were going to call it but it didn’t look like it hit a Canadian player so they don’t usually call it but linesman made it look much worse.

@grayruby its starting to get prettttyyyy chippy!!!

Matthews sucking worked again.

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @Cje95 OP 21 Feb

Honestly... I am impressed with how he can suck so bad and it work for the US

How the hell did he get that with his skate?!?! Doesnt need a stick it seems just his skate!

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 21 Feb

I have to give the US credit. They are playing much better D than Canada. No shooting lanes at all on that PP.

30 sats \ 0 replies \ @Cje95 OP 21 Feb

Ngl I was terrified lol

I think it was a mistake keeping the A power play team out there for as long as Canada did.... 40-50 seconds tops over a minute I mean... it just isnt smart in my opinion

Here we go! I agree with PK its going to come down to a bounce or a missed puck these teams are so even

Loving this competition with the best players in the game

They are letting the guys play and I respect that. The refs are trying to prevent a fight but it is getting super super chippy and I think we will see one by the end of the second period

10 sats \ 7 replies \ @grayruby 21 Feb

Go figure. Matthews sucking worked to their advantage. He loses control of the puck and it bounces right to Tkachuk. Let's not talk about the goalie getting tripped right before that and the fact Canada should have been on a power play. As long as the calls are even.

40 sats \ 6 replies \ @Cje95 OP 21 Feb

I was actually going to tag you and ask given how Brady is in obvious discomfort if he was going to drop the gloves to motivate his guys. Then he turns around and scores kinda killing my idea lol.

From what I have seen the refs do seem to really be letting the guys play and like you said as long as it is equal then I love it but I mean let the boys play after all! How have you felt about the refing?

10 sats \ 5 replies \ @grayruby 21 Feb

I feel like the missed call on the goalie hurt because it led to a goal 30 seconds later but was pretty weak contact. The one on the defenseman where he was pulled to the ground was a pretty bad missed call.

40 sats \ 4 replies \ @Cje95 OP 21 Feb

Okay crap I missed the pulled down defensemen was that before or after the USA goal (I went to the bathroom after so I would have missed it for sure then)

10 sats \ 3 replies \ @grayruby 21 Feb

It was before the goal but a few minutes before so it wouldn't have impacted that play but Canada would have had the PP. I will see if I can find the replay.

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @Cje95 OP 21 Feb

Shit not sure how I missed that..... Do you think we get our first fight this next period or do you think it will continue to be a relatively clean game?

Also did you notice Brady's interview how gassed he seemed to be.... the guy is def sick as hell and still playing... NBA could take a page out of this book!

Where did they find this anthem singer? This sounds nothing like the Canadian national anthem. This must be a troll. They hired the worst one possible.

Okay I am happy someone pointed that out... I felt like they forgot the lines a couple times

That was their revenge for the booing

30 sats \ 0 replies \ @Cje95 OP 21 Feb

That would be one of the wildest most petty things I can think of and if the NHL wasnt in charge I could see Boston doing it but with the NHL vetting these people I truly think they just screwed up and chose a person who didnt know Canada's national anthem.
