CANADA WINS, 1-0. USA-Finland for bronze Saturday, Canada-Sweden for gold Sunday.
Dan P. [3:06 PM]:
@Todd Little Hard to say. In terms of “action” it wasn’t a great game, but the Canadians certainly get credit for imposing their will on the USA and completely killing their attack. In that respect, they played a “great” game.
NationalAnthem [3:00 PM]:
@Todd Little Depends on who you were rooting for. From a Canadian perspective, they had a game plan and were totally dominant in executing it. That would make this a great game. For the U.S., this was an exercise in frustration – totally boxed out, unable to complete passes and tip-ins, and their speed was mimimalized. What surprised me was that I expected a much more physical game. I thought Bakkes would be the most valuable player but he was next to invisible.
Todd Little [2:30 PM]:
@Clay Wendler that is awesome
mr_zach6 [2:27 PM]:
lol a fun game??? we lost im crying right now so bad that my teacher had to take me outside for some fresh air
Todd Little [2:23 PM]:
it was close, but I didn’t think this was that great a game. Thoughts?
NationalAnthem [2:14 PM]:
FYI: oddsmakers in Canada had the U.S. winning this one. They’re a great team and QUick was awesome.
jrobulls [2:13 PM]:
C’mon Super Swedes!
dustinrmikkelsen [2:12 PM]:
Luckily I lived in Canada as a child, so I can root for them in the gold medal game ;) Good game canucks eh?
Clay Wendler [2:11 PM]:
Scott Huh [2:11 PM]:
Many predicted no medal. Can still get the bronze.
jpsolberg [2:10 PM]:
jrobulls. so right quick is awesome
jpsolberg [2:10 PM]:
THAT WAS A FUN GAME!
jrobulls [2:10 PM]:
Quick at least showing why he’s awesome.
dustinrmikkelsen [2:09 PM]:
Get shutout by your rival, with the world watching, an epic fail only worthy of us….
Ardbeg [2:09 PM]:
At least it’s not the Russians.
Travis Hughes [2:09 PM]:
That was a hell of a game.
Todd Little [2:09 PM]:
FUCK
Erik Jonker [2:09 PM]:
Yes truly sorry
Chris Haines [2:09 PM]:
Well. Shit.
Scott Huh [2:09 PM]:
Price plays better for the Canadians then he does for the Canadiens.
NationalAnthem [2:08 PM]:
As a true Canadian, I have to say sorry for beating you.
WildandPredsFan [2:08 PM]:
Well, looks like it’s the bronze medal game for us.
NationalAnthem [2:08 PM]:
Shutout Carey Price!!!!!!!!
Todd Little [2:07 PM]:
rebounds just won’t come to US
Evan Sporer [2:07 PM]:
RYAN MCDONAGH
NationalAnthem [2:07 PM]:

Travis Hughes [2:05 PM]:
JOHN CARLSON
Erik Jonker [2:05 PM]:
But does it come in men’s?
Erik Jonker [2:04 PM]:
Zach 6" jonk? Impressive
mr_zach6 [2:03 PM]:
Hey eric jonker lick my jonk
Erik Jonker [2:03 PM]:
Hope he’s signed up for Obama-care
argile42 [2:02 PM]:
How many times do you think he apologized after that?
Todd Little [2:02 PM]:
no sustained pressure for US
Erik Jonker [2:02 PM]:
Shooting gallery
Pig.Pen [2:02 PM]:
That looked like it hurt….immensely.
Clay Wendler [2:01 PM]:
Scott Huh [2:00 PM]:
Where is the Russian judge to fix this like the ice dancing?
Evan Sporer [2:00 PM]:
JONATHAN QUICK EATS WHEATIES
WildandPredsFan [2:00 PM]:
Thank God that didn’t go in.
NationalAnthem [2:00 PM]:
6 minutes left
dustinrmikkelsen [2:00 PM]:
Another Canadian win does nothing to advance the sport, it’s already their national pass time up there.
Pig.Pen [1:59 PM]:
Thanks
Scott Huh [1:59 PM]:
that PK was pretty good. maybe it can et them going.
WildandPredsFan [1:58 PM]:
Is it that much to ask for the US to score at least 1 goal??!!
Erik Jonker [1:58 PM]:
Canada 1 USA dumpster
Evan Sporer [1:58 PM]:
1-0 Canada, under 8 minutes remaining
WildandPredsFan [1:58 PM]:
@Pig.Pen 1-0 Canada
Pig.Pen [1:58 PM]:
What’s the score
Chris Dilks [1:57 PM]:
Callahan still needs a goal to atone for Canada’s.
Scott Huh [1:57 PM]:
It is much better when Callahan is on the teeam you cheer for instead of the rival
Nate Pilling [1:56 PM]:
Callahan, you crazy.
Evan Sporer [1:56 PM]:
Guys I don’t know if you know this, but Ryan Callahan is an American hero
Erik Jonker [1:56 PM]:
This is crazy
xcdudesquad [1:55 PM]:
I’m gonna be sick
WildandPredsFan [1:55 PM]:
Canada back on the power play. Yelp.
Travis Hughes [1:55 PM]:
Canadian power play. I don’t feel good.
Evan Sporer [1:55 PM]:
Canada going to the power play with 10:04 left
NationalAnthem [1:55 PM]:
Way to go Kessel!!!
Todd Little [1:55 PM]:
Quick can’t give up another goal. US will be lucky to get one at this rate.
Nate Pilling [1:54 PM]:
Dump and chase, take a shot into someone’s skates, get pinned back, repeat.
NationalAnthem [1:53 PM]:
Shots are 10 – 4 Canada in this period
Chris Haines [1:53 PM]:
@Erik Jonker Just over 11 minutes.
WildandPredsFan [1:52 PM]:
11:51
Erik Jonker [1:52 PM]:
What’s the time left in period 3
WildandPredsFan [1:52 PM]:
And spending too much time in our own zone has prevented that.
WildandPredsFan [1:51 PM]:
We really need something HUGE if we want to still have a chance in this game.
Travis Hughes [1:51 PM]:
@WIMinnesotaWildFan well yeah
WildandPredsFan [1:50 PM]:
@Travis Hughes Canada has been dominating for basically this whole game
Travis Hughes [1:49 PM]:
Canada’s been dominating the period, but Parise gets a chance like that and you remember how close the game is
Clay Wendler [1:49 PM]:
Scott Huh [1:49 PM]:
@Nate the USA would have about 10 more shots if they were the Devils
Todd Little [1:49 PM]:
@Nate Pilling good one
mr_zach6 [1:48 PM]:
TJ Oshie we need you right now bud
Nate Pilling [1:48 PM]:
As a Devils fan it feels like this is only the 50 billionth time I’ve watched this game in recent history.
Todd Little [1:47 PM]:
that was close
Nate Pilling [1:47 PM]:
@Chris Haines Gotcha.
Travis Hughes [1:46 PM]:
@Evan Sporer we’re even, Brooks
WildandPredsFan [1:46 PM]:
This whole game hasn’t been going well for them. :(
Evan Sporer [1:46 PM]:
Never thought I’d say that today
Chris Haines [1:46 PM]:
@Nate Pilling I meant me. I am also a Flyers fan.
Evan Sporer [1:46 PM]:
WOW. Orpik with a huge defensive play
Travis Hughes [1:46 PM]:
This third period is not going well or the United States
Nate Pilling [1:45 PM]:
@Chris Haines Woah, woah, woah. Let’s be clear here: I AM NOT a Flyers fan. I was talking about Travis.
WildandPredsFan [1:45 PM]:
@Erik Jonker Agreed.
Erik Jonker [1:44 PM]:
Canada’s Defense = Seattle Seahawks @ Super Bowl
Chris Haines [1:44 PM]:
@Scott Huh Two of ’em! /waves
Chris Haines [1:44 PM]:
@Scott Huh Two of ’em! /waves
Travis Hughes [1:43 PM]:
@Scott Huh hi Scott! /cries
Nate Pilling [1:43 PM]:
@Scott Huh I think we have one here with us! :)
Scott Huh [1:42 PM]:
imagine being a Flyers fan watching JVR.
Todd Little [1:41 PM]:
as a Panther fan it hurts even more see Blowmeester with that assist
WildandPredsFan [1:40 PM]:
Let’s tie it up!
Travis Hughes [1:40 PM]:
hey, Carey: nice SHUTOUT you have there hows that SHUTOUT going
Evan Sporer [1:39 PM]:
Alright folks, here we go: 20 minutes (or longer) to decide who goes on to play Sweden in the gold medal game. Third period underway.
Adam Gretz [1:37 PM]:
More Yandle and Byfuglien in the third, less Orpi…. oh. Right.
Nate Pilling [1:36 PM]:
Woof:

Required watching before the 3rd starts:
xcdudesquad [1:34 PM]:
Here’s what we need to do. Find as many Canadians as you can. Trick them into saying Shutout. Then we’ll score.

@Clay Wendler Is there a way we can hide these? Because I’d really like to hide them once I’ve watched it 154 times.
mr_zach6 [1:21 PM]:
Hey Travis i dont care about a dang PK USA never loses
Evan Sporer [1:20 PM]:
Bylsma reaching into the well: Stastny, Pacioretty and Oshie finished that PP
Travis Hughes [1:20 PM]:
Canada’s being so aggressive on the PK
mr_zach6 [1:19 PM]:
Wow canada is probably good USA USA USA USA USA USA
Nate Pilling [1:19 PM]:
Seems like our PP strategy is: Shoot into their shins as much as possible.
Evan Sporer [1:18 PM]:
Canada simply keeping the USA to the outside on the PP, no pressure in front, not much doing.
Clay Wendler [1:18 PM]:
Travis Hughes [1:18 PM]:
Big damn PP here
Adam Gretz [1:17 PM]:
Orpik has been unspeakably bad in Pittsburgh all year.
Evan Sporer [1:17 PM]:
Kunitz bumps Quick after the whistle, USA power play coming.
xcdudesquad [1:17 PM]:
I hate Chris Kunitz so much. Important PP coming up
Clay Wendler [1:17 PM]:
Scott Huh [1:16 PM]:
Seems like the Kessel line is the only one getting chances
xcdudesquad [1:16 PM]:
Quick is keeping us in this game
Nate Pilling [1:15 PM]:
So, let’s to be stapling Brooks to the bench please.

Todd Little [1:08 PM]:
@Evan Sporer yes he has
Travis Hughes [1:08 PM]:
Seems like USA is being a little too cute at the blue line
Evan Sporer [1:08 PM]:
Similar to how Canda scored, they need to get traffic in front of the crease. Price is playing too well to just beat cleanly.
elvanthia.douvlos [1:08 PM]:
I can bear to look, i am just watching this discussion…
elvanthia.douvlos [1:07 PM]:
So guys…how do you think USA is playing so far? You think they have a chance?
Nate Pilling [1:07 PM]:
Poor possession for the US the last few minutes.
Vanderslack [1:07 PM]:
USA: odd-man rush please.
Evan Sporer [1:06 PM]:
Price has been exceptional
TD70 [1:06 PM]:
@NattyDre thank you for your observation
elvanthia.douvlos [1:06 PM]:
They cant let it be a shutout…come on USA!
xcdudesquad [1:05 PM]:
Breathe? What is that?
elvanthia.douvlos [1:05 PM]:
Nate Pilling neither can I…
Travis Hughes [1:04 PM]:
@Nate Pilling cant
Nate Pilling [1:04 PM]:
Remember to breathe, all.
Evan Sporer [1:03 PM]:
That one Kane look to Parise was great though, Price was just better
Todd Little [1:03 PM]:
find the open man for fucks sake
xcdudesquad [1:02 PM]:
I feel like the United States needs to just keep firing on net and good things will happen. We’re working to hard to get the “right” shot.
Evan Sporer [1:01 PM]:
The best zone entry for these USA power plays is a David Backes faceoff win
Todd Little [1:01 PM]:
damn, seems like I’m a minute behind some of you

@NoVA Buckeye You’re a classy guy!

Travis Hughes [1:00 PM]:

USA power play. Getzlaf off for a high stick, USA with a chance to even it back up.

Chris Haines [12:57 PM]:
Our turn for a comeback.
Evan Sporer [12:57 PM]:
Holy deflection by Benn
elvanthia.douvlos [12:56 PM]:
That did not take too long into the second period.
elvanthia.douvlos [12:56 PM]:
Ugh.
Evan Sporer [12:56 PM]:
Bouwmeester point shot that may have been deflected. Think it’s Benn’s goal

0-0 feels like a pretty good result for the US after that period.

Agreed, Chris.

Ryan Blight [12:38 PM]:

That…was not a good powerplay.
Adam Gretz [12:36 PM]:
This power play could have gone better.
Evan Sporer [12:36 PM]:
I think the longer this remains tied, the more pressure there is on Canada
WildandPredsFan [12:35 PM]:
I’m a little nervous, but I’m sure things will even out soon.
Ryan Blight [12:35 PM]:
@Travis Hughes Same… swallows down bile

THE CANADIAN POWER PLAY TERRIFIES ME
Travis Hughes [12:27 PM]:
Crosby got up slow behind the play there
Adam Gretz [12:27 PM]:
That call looked a little … soft
Travis Hughes [12:27 PM]:
I’d pass along Canada’s PP numbers in the tournament but I don’t wanna jinx anything
Travis Hughes [12:26 PM]:
Eh… that call
Scott Huh [12:25 PM]:
In my expert opinion i tihnk the USA should try to void penalties.
Evan Sporer [12:25 PM]:
And with that, Ryan Suter off for holding the stick. Canada PP with USA’s best d-man in the box
Travis Hughes [12:25 PM]:
Jeff Carter’s scaring the pants off me
Evan Sporer [12:25 PM]:
Canada’s shots have been off the wall, USA has done a good job getting looks between the circles

Travis Hughes [12:21 PM]:
@Gretz Interesting, isnt it?
Adam Gretz [12:18 PM]:
The North American teams play such a more wide open game on the big ice than the European teams do.
Evan Sporer [12:18 PM]:
Crosby out there with Sharp on that last Canadian shift. Babcock still trying to find a combination that works with Crosby
Travis Hughes [12:17 PM]:
Yeesh, that could’ve been ugly. Quick tracked that puck really well though
WildandPredsFan [12:17 PM]:
The US had some great chances there.
Travis Hughes [12:17 PM]:
Yeah, big ole shot block from Perry there
Evan Sporer [12:17 PM]:
Perry with a big block in that sequence as well, was banged up but still on the bench
Travis Hughes [12:16 PM]:
Talk about pressure. What a shift by the USA. Price came up big several times
Aqua [12:15 PM]:
We should try the thing where we score a goal.

@GodZeller a US win. joking aside, this should be a great game between two evenly-matched opponents. One of the teams will probably squeak it out with a late goal but part of me feels the US is going to suprise with a commanding win.
Adam Gretz [11:21 AM]:
This should be fun.
Evan Sporer [11:21 AM]:
@Zeller Canada has been trouble gettings goals from its forwards nad getting Crosby going. USA has been one of the more consistent teams in the tournament, and will try to match up against Canada’s top guys all game.
John Fontana [11:21 AM]:
If Canada loses today, I will put money down on the Canadian media and a contingent of fans blaming the size of the ice surface. I’ve seen too many remarks about it as-is. “It’s killing offense!”
