It's not just the deployment, I hate the line. As I've said elsewhere it's not just an "all your eggs in one basket" thing - although that's a very big thing - it's also a problem when you have all three of your best players waiting for each other because they don't think they're "the guy" and don't want to do it themselves.

Looks like Cooper is mixing it up, I still don't like Mack Marner Stone really but it's a step in the right direction.

EDIT: Nevermind, this is even dumber, unless someone's hurt.

No penalty hey.. ok

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Trying their best to ignore US infractions to keep them in the game.

Let's hope he goes all underwhelming the rest of this game.

Meh. They will need a PP

He had a nice pass on the PP to MacKinnon bs Finland

Other point was also PP, a second assist on the Makar shot tipped by Suzuki

US is forcing him to the outside, and he's regressing into his ever-predicable "curl at the hash marks and send it back to the point" mode. Then they just plug the middle to take away the point shot.

We need to start pounding the puck through to the paint. Get our heavies out there to start creating holes in front of the net. Adapt. Speed and skill alone doesn't win games like these. We've been playing from behind for 95% of our elimination games.

[White Out 403]

Shoot the puck!

[GioforPM]

I think it’s time for Makar to score.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Great work by the Jarvis line. That's more like it.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Canada really starting to take over

[jmac98]

It feels like a goal is coming.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Great plays culminating in low quality shots.

[Yamer]

What is up with Makar and Toews?

[White Out 403]

This Canada chant is so dumb. Don was right. It's Go Canada Go.

[FanIn80]

That Boldy goal was crazy though. Even more crazy that it was against Devon and Makar.

[hwy19man]

Grrrrrrrrrreat save Binnington.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Bo Horvat understands the assignment. Dude is going for kill shots.

[Barnet Flame]

WTF is up with Towes?

[DeluxeMoustache]

No call on Mcdive

He must be so confused
