I hope Shinkaruk goes -10 0pts and Canada wins 11-10

[Ashasx]

Let's go Gillies.

Keep an eye on USA's Jack Eichel, he is projected by some to be a (or maybe 'the') consolation prize in the Connor McDavid sweepstakes.

He's gonna be MVP!!!

[Ashasx]

Those are fantastic replay times.

[getbak]

F yeah!

[stemit14]

I'm cheering for team USA to win the tournament again if gillies remains their starter. I'm a flames fan first and if team canada doesn't want to even give poirier, jankowski, or klimchuk a chance to make the team then I won't be cheering for team canada.

Anyone know if this streaming somewhere?

Hmm game is delayed because a zamboni broke down in the middle of the arena and created a huge divot on the ice.

They are trying to fix it, but it sounds like if they can't they will move the game to a practice arena where there are no cameras.

How come gaudreau isn't there?

Thanks for the update. I was wondering why the game hasn't started yet.

Too old.

Seems odd that they only have one zamboni for multiple rink in the plex, not even a backup.

They have a backup, problem is the broken zamboni dumped a bunch of water on the ice and blade from the zamboni left a hole.

They apparently re flooded the ice but the hole is still there.

Now hearing that the teams will have another short warmup, with the game to start at 11am et if the ice conditions permit.

That would be 9am MT

[getbak]

It looks like it has solidified up pretty well now.

[sureLoss]

Players on the ice... looks like we are good to go
