Noeller Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Canada's going to be a really interesting team to watch this year. No real superstar to carry the load, so they might just rally together as a true "team" and do it by committee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_gold_84 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 An okay win overall yesterday. Canada took way too many bad penalties, though. That lack of discipline can't become a habit, especially against stronger opponents. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 fwiw, Finland is supposed to be one of the best teams in the tourney this year, along with Sweden and the US... SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 US is ok... They beat a bad Denmark team tho so it proves nothing... Id say Canada Finland The US and Sweden are all equals this tournament. Truly in short tourneys it comes down to goaltending... That US goalie is legit tho.

I think they made a couple bizarre choices on who to keep and who not to keep but still a very strong team. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_gold_84 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Solid win over Slovakia last night. A little dicey when Bean went down and missed some time, especially with Clague already out. But it was good he returned to action last night. Blue line needs to be healthy for tomorrow's outdoor tilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 They're saying the outdoor game might be moved inside if it doesn't warm up a bit. I'm excited to see how Canada matches up with the US. blue_gold_84 and SPuDS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything can happen obviously and there's lots of game left but.... The US would be exhausted from chasing the game yesterday, quick turnaround and then cold weather, grueling game against the Canadians. I bet USA Hockey wishes they had scheduled this differently.

SpeedFlex27 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Did the cold affect our team more than the US? Two goal collapse in the third period followed by a dreadful shootout. That. Was. Bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
